I Choose
"I Choose" is a punk rock song by The Offspring. It is the eighth track on their fourth studio album ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' (1997) and was released as the fourth and final single from the album.
The single enjoyed less commercial success compared with the previous singles from the album and was omitted from the band's ''Greatest Hits'' album (2005). However, it became another top 10 Hot Mainstream Rock Track for The Offspring.
==Literary Reference==
The song contains a literary reference in verse 2 to J. D. Salinger's short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." In the story, the protagonist, who is suicidally depressed, tells a little girl at a Florida beach a story about bananafish, a fictional species of fish that hides in its burrow, eating bananas, until it is trapped inside forever and dies of banana fever.〔Salinger, J. D. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." The New Yorker. 31 Jan. 1948: 21-25. 4 Oct. 2010 http://www.dibache.com/text.asp?cat=51&id=184.〕 In the original work, the bananafish is a tragic creature, but the song looks at the tragedy and laughs anyway, saying it "doesn't really matter" and shrugging off the self-pity of the original.
