Green Day are getting their own musical episode in Angry Birds Friends. The pop-punk titans have teamed with Rovio Entertainment to appear in 10 new levels and give their likenesses to new pig characters in the Facebook-based video game. The episode will also feature the band's latest single "Oh Love" and the exclusive song "Troublemaker."

"We're all fans of Angry Birds," said Billie Joe Armstrong in a press release. "It's such an addictive game that when we first started playing it we couldn't stop."

More updates and details will come this fall. No release date has been given. Green Day are readying their album trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré!, with ¡Uno! set for release September 25th.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
