Tre is a drummer, but he also wrote some funny songs:

In 1992, when Green Day released Kerplunk! Tre wrote the song "Dominated Love Slave" and put this on the album.

Several live tracks also exist, usually from early dates around 1993 such as "Food Around the Corner", a song he composed about Billie Joe's mom, and "Boys in the Bathroom Stall".

In 1994, "Dookie" had a hidden track after "F.O.D." called "All by myself" in which Tre sings about his favourite subject masturbation. The song was recorded at a party where Tre got stoned with friends.

The most famous song that Tre has wrote is certainly "Like a rat does cheese" which isn't on any their albums but has the same subject as "All by myself". During a radio interview at Washington DC's alternative station, DC 101, Tré sang and played it, a song about the pleasure of fellatio.

Another Tre's song is "D.U.I." (Driving Under The Influence), which is about Billie Joe and has a nice rhythm plays with the accordion. It was recorded during the Nimrod sessions, and was due to be released on Shenanigans (a compilation of B-sides), but was inexplicably omitted.

In 2004, Tre wrote "Rock and Roll Girlfriend" which is a piece of "Homecoming" in American Idiot album. But Tre kept it clean!

In 2005, in their first dvd live, Bullet in a Bible, Tre sings this new rhythm or new short song (that I have called "From Bullet in a Bible"). He sings it around the first hour of the dvd, ( maybe 01:06:12), in a documentary completely dedicated to him. At the same time he looks away on the street...
