"Prosthetic Head" is a song by the American rock band Green Day, released as a promotional single from their fifth studio album Nimrod exclusively in Germany.

Reception

[edit]

"Prosthetic Head" has been described by critics as a "typical ticked-off kiss-off"[1][2] When writing a review of the song for AllMusic, critic Rick Anderson stated that it "suffers a bit from the lack of a real hook, but the song’s chunky production and snotty lyrics are enough to keep your interest, as is the subtly elegant harmony in the chorus.", ending by saying that "Those in the know will put this song on a homemade compilation tape right next to They Might Be Giants' "We Want a Rock"."[3]
