"Prosthetic Head" is on nimrod., Green Day's fifth studio album, released by Reprise in 1997. The band wrote the music together and Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the words; Rob Cavallo produced with the band, Ken Allardyce recorded and engineered it with Tony Flores as co-engineer, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed.

They started work on the album after a European tour behind Insomniac was called off, and cut it at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles, going for a batch of songs that could each stand alone instead of one unified statement. The result is a grab bag that roams through folk, hardcore, surf rock and ska, and critics singled out Armstrong's songwriting for praise.
