What song starts "Do you have the time to listen to me whine"?

The song that starts “Do you have the time to listen to me whine” is “Basket Case” by Green Day. The opening line introduces the song’s anxious, confessional tone before its famous chorus asks whether the singer is a “basket case.”

“Basket Case” was released in 1994 on Green Day’s breakthrough album, Dookie. Written by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the song draws on his experiences with panic attacks and anxiety. Its fast punk-rock arrangement helped make the band one of the defining acts of the 1990s alternative-rock boom.

A common mix-up is the title’s spelling: the official title is “Basket Case,” as two words, rather than “Basketcase.” The phrase itself is older slang for a person perceived as unable to cope, but Green Day’s song gave it a new association with mental-health anxiety and restless self-questioning.
