Boredom, antisocial behavior, and masturbation are some of the themes of Green Day's Dookie album. "All By Myself" checks all these boxes, telling the story of a guy who go into a girl's room and spend some quality time all by himself. It's a Tré Cool solo track: The Green Day drummer wrote the song, sang it, and played the acoustic guitar.
This is a hidden track on the Dookie CD, popping on about a minute after the last listed track, "F.O.D." There is only about 37 minutes of music on the album, so there was plenty of room to include "All By Myself." It's a loony little song with little production value, so setting it apart as a hidden track made sense. Hidden tracks were a casualty of the digital age: When Dookie was made available for download and streaming, "All By Myself" was visible on the tracklist.
Green Day played this live from time to time, with Tré Cool switching places with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, who would man the drum kit.
