Green Day are betting you’ve never seen an album re-release quite like this. The Bay Area pop-punk trio are bringing back 1994’s Dookie in a manner in which you’d never expect – through a Teddy Ruxpin bear, a doorbell, a Big Mouth Billy Bass and a Fisher Price record player among other odd and unusual formats.The band is calling it a “demaster,” providing the songs from the album through 15 obscure obsolete and otherwise inconvenient formats. Each song on the album is paired up and now playing through one of the unique players. The full array of options are listed below, while you can see each of the songs being played on their players through the dookiedemastered.com website.Burnout – Player Piano RollHaving A Blast – Floppy DiskChump – Teddy RuxpinLongview – DoorbellWelcome To Paradise – Game Boy CartridgePulling Teeth – ToothbrushBasket Case – Big Mouth Billy BassShe – HitClipSassafras Roots – 8-trackWhen I Come Around – Wax CylinderComing Clean – X-Ray RecordEmenius Sleepus – Answering MachineIn The End – MiniDiscF.O.D. – Fisher Price RecordAll By Myself – Music Boxgreen day weird players for ‘dookie’ songsRepriseloading…How Can You Get One of These Unique Players?Between now and Friday (Oct. 11) at 11AM ET / 8AM PT, you can enter a drawing to purchase one of these unique players.
