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".

Hot Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Hey, so you wanna play
You’ll see my game’s on fire
And we don’t play the same game
You’ll see i’m greedy for speed
And neutral means nothin’ to me
So if that’s your desire
We’ll get along famously
Just one thing’ I like to lead you’ll see
I light ‘em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that i could never stop
Look under the hood but you don’t know what i’ve got
I’m a moving violation baby
Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
Highway, that’s my scene
I may look like a blur when you see me
And i mean i’m flirtin’ with disaster
I'm the master of g’s
Goin’ faster, gonna pass ya
Gonna blast some dust your way
And I say you got skills and somethin’ to prove
But you’re in my way so you better move
One foot on the peddle and the other in the grave
So don’t give me a reason I got a license to rage
I light ‘em up before the motor starts
I go so fast that i could never stop
Look under the hood but you don’t know what i’ve got
I’m a moving violation baby
Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
