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".

Heave-Ho Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Neighbor called my landlord
She said that she was pissed
Up all night making noise
And she cant get no rest
She said we was running a flop house
Full of thieves and thugs
Musicians and hooligans and we were all on drugs
So she got bent and raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor
Whats up with my neighbor
Whats it gonna take to get a break
Shes got us tiptoeing around in fear
Church mice at st. leos down my street
Have moved so far away
She has sent them packing and running scared
How much more does she think we will take
Maybe someday when Im old and fat and bored
Ill understand why my neighbor makes me feel like hell
I cant even watch tv or sneeze or fart cant even breathe
For fear my landlord will come and ring my bell
How much more does she think we will pay
No more flop house no more fun
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Shooting cans with bb guns
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
She says these punks have to go
I think were gonna get the old heave ho
Neighbor called my landlord
It was a sunday afternoon
She couldnt hear the tv set
We were having a barbecue
We were listening to louis prima
And drinking meisterbrau
If she would have come to talk it over
And wasnt a lazy cow
So she got bent she raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor
Maybe someday when Im jaded
9 to 5 at a job I hate
Ill come home and razz my neighbors too
But Id have a strategy
And catch them when the rent is late
And all the other bills are overdue
After all this is the neighborly way
No more music no more fun
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
I think were gonna get the old heave ho
Dont even hide the dog
Or put the bong away
We dont want to live here anyway
Neighbor called my landlord
She said we didnt care
The lawn is dead
Dogs and cats are stinking everywhere
She said that we had crazy parties every night
The yard is littered with bottles and cans
Skateboards and bikes
She didnt get bent
Didnt raise the rent
We only got a note
In 30 days well get the old heave ho
Waaaaaoo.....waaaaaaaaaoo.....
No more music no more fun
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
Ive got a whiny neighbor
Ive got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
I think were gonna get the old heave ho
