"Brain Stew" and "Jaded" are two songs by American rock band Green Day, released as a joint single. The songs are transitional—"Brain Stew" segues directly into "Jaded". They appear as the 10th and 11th tracks on the group's fourth studio album, Insomniac, and were released as the album's third and final single in April 1996. One of the B-sides has an early version of the song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", with the song having a more sarcastic tone than the original. There is also a limited-edition CD single of the two songs in which the disc is in the shape of a brain.
Upon its release, "Brain Stew" / "Jaded" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, number one on the Canadian RPM Alternative 30, and number 28 on the UK Singles Chart. Both songs were included on the band's first greatest hits album International Superhits!. However, only "Brain Stew" was included on the band's second greatest hits album God's Favorite Band and is the only song off of Insomniac to be included. After the September 11 attacks, "Brain Stew" was placed on Clear Channel's list of post-9/11 inappropriate titles.
