By SecondFavouriteSon /Apr. 18, 2017 / Comments

Recently, Spotify asked Green Day fans to submit their covers of "Basket Case" to help them with 'something awesome'. They've now released a video combining these covers into one to create what may well be the ultimate "Basket Case" cover. Check it out below:

This video has been released to coincide with the completion of "Green Day: The Early Years", a four-part series chronicling the history of the band, available to watch now on Spotify in the US.

Spotify also took the time in their post to thank the band members for '30 years of inspiration'.
