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".

We need a new planet
You were a rock but I took you for granite
Ain’t that a shame, ain’t it a sin
We had too much baggage when our ship came in.
Like a lazer beam
You’re never what I’m seeing,
I ought to better my best behaviour
I can’t deny, I lit the fire
But the twist of fate bridge was gonna burn anyway.
Without you it’s no fun
It’s like a total eclipse of the sun
Without you it’s no wonder
It’s like a total eclipse of the sun.
We need a new planet
You were a peach but I told you to can it.
You weren’t the only pig in the pen
We had too much baggage when our ship came in.
Without you it’s no fun
It’s like a total eclipse of the sun
Without you it’s no wonder
It’s like a total eclipse of the sun
