Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

Diggin’ Your Scene Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Tell me why were all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesnt know the meaning of tame
Still I cant put out the flame
Hey hey I wanna play on the team that you despise
Every day a new disguise
Every night a halloween
She says keep the motor runnin man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but im keepin her stock
I wouldnt even change a thing
Why fight youve got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
Im so diggin your scene
I said youre playing with my head
I could split instead
Im so diggin your scene
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I dont want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I cant shake your freaky spell
Chorus
Can anybody tell me why were springer bound
Why we feel so up when were kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think shes got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on right on right on
Hey hey I wanna play for the team that you despise
Chorus
