Queen of Attolia's Theme music

Does anyone remember which Green Day tune it was that fit the Queen so perfectly?  And what album was it from?

I don't know about Green Day, but speaking of songs, I always thought k. d. lang's version of 'Hallelujah' fit Eugenides and Irene really well.

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
You don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before,
I've seen this room and I've walked the floor,
I used to live alone before I knew you
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Our love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above,
But all I've ever learnt from love,
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you,
It's not a cry that you hear at night,
It's not someone who's seen the light,
It's a cold and broken hallelujah

I love that song. It does fit quite well.

I've never heard the k.d lang sing it, but I adore the Jeff Buckley version.

It's a beautiful song. Leonard Cohen wrote it, and JJ Cale has a lovely version on the Leonard Cohen Tribute CD (there are two versions, one two different Tribute CDs. The one by JJCale is way better than the other, but I don't remember which CD it is on).
