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".

Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin cigarattes they drink til they drool
Well we aint so dumb, just numb
And tomorrows another year
Could you tell us what happened cause we werent here
Weve been hitchin a ride with a big fake rubber thumb
Chorus
And youre a star now, blinkin bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge cant tell us where the ladies dance
But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down
Chorus
And youre a star now, blinkin bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Instrumental (haunting)
Chorus
And youre a star now, blinkin bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
