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".

Hang on Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Things are getting weird
Things are getting tough
Nothing’s makin’ sense but you keep on lookin up
They tell you to be true
You’re tryin’ every day
To keep it on the real still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy
To make your papa proud
You wanna turn it up but all you hear is tone it down
So gather around i’m here to say
You’ll never make everybody's day
But while you’re around you might as well
Catch the tiger by its tail and
Hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on
Get started
And go on go on go on
Everybody just hold on
Sometimes i wanna cry
And throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I’ll take it on the chin
And everywhere i go people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be ok
If things are gettiing rough
Turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down
So gather around i’m here to say
You’ll never make everybody's day
But while you’re around you might as well
Catch the tiger by its tail and
Hang on
