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".

Hey L.A. Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Hey L.a.

There's An Automatic Teller Machine In The Emergency Room
There's A Meter Maid She Arrives By Broom
There's A Bear In The Air With A Lullaby
And A Big Brown Coat To Keep You Warm At Night

There's A Money Tree
And The Ladder Leans Up Against The Trunk
But The Steps Are Greased

Hey L.a.
Where You From
Where Have You Gone Now
Well It Looks Like Someone's Spaceship Crashed
In Babylon

There's A Plastic Man With A Plastic Knife
In A Rubber Hand At A Drastic Price
Don't Miss This Show You Will Be Amazed
You're A Shining Star, A Needle In The Haze
There's A Man Upstairs
With The Fire Below
There's The Elevator
And Away You Go

Hey L.a.
Where You From
Where Have You Gone Now
Well It Looks Like Someone's Spaceship Crashed
In Babylon

There's A Smooth Operator
There's A Famous Governator
Everybody Walks In L.a.
On A Backward Escalator

It's A Soul Terminator
It's A Sea Of Alligators
On Each And Every Corner
There's A Broken Hearted Waiter

Hey L.a.
Where You From
Where Have You Gone Now
Well It Looks Like Someone's Spaceship Crashed
In Babylon
