Billie Joe Armstong is giving fans something to look forward to every Monday until the end of the Coronavirus social distancing quarantines.

"Welcome to No Fun Mondays," said Armstrong in a statement. "Going to release a cover song every week until we’re let back out into the world. This week’s song: 'You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory' by Johnny Thunders. Love BJ."

Armstrong's cover of "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory" is embedded below. Last Monday (March 23), Armstrong shared another cover via Green Day's YouTube channel of Tommy James and the Shondells' "I Think We’re Alone Now." That cover can be heard here.
