Green Day dropped a video for their new song, "Oh Yeah!" from their upcoming album, Father of All…, which is due out February 7 via Reprise/Warner Records.
Green Day has sampled Joan Jett's anthem "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" on the their hooky new single "Oh Yeah!."
In the YouTube description for "Oh Yeah!" Green Day notes that their track samples Joan Jett's cover of "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)" from her debut, Bad Reputation.
The song was originally written by Gary Glitter, the arena rocker and convicted sex offender, so Green Day has promised to donate all royalties from "Oh Yeah!" to the International Justice Mission and the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
"We appreciate Green Day for thinking of survivors when releasing their new single," RAINN Press Secretary Erinn Robinson told Rolling Stone. "The proceeds from this song will help us continue to provide survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones with the help they need and deserve."
"Oh Yeah!" follows the previously released Father of All… title track, which arrived last September.
Green Day is set to embark on a huge summer tour along with Fall Out Boy and Weezer. The North American leg kicks off on July 17 in Seattle.
