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".

Shoes ’n’ Hats Lyrics

Smash Mouth

The shoes you wear, aint the shoes Id wear
But I dont care
Youve got things to say
But theyre thrown away cause theyre so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
Theyre just beating each other at being each other
With nothin to say
So everyone cares cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say dont be square
So square well stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
Theyre just beating each other at being each other
With nothin to say
Chorus
Im holdin on to my old mans sneakers
Just goin deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin round at the pawn shop
Waitin for nothin to change
Anything strange is wrong
Instrumental
So here we are
In a dead mans car goin to the show
In my old chapeau
Well its full of holes but its got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
Theyre just beating each other at being each other
With nothin to say
Chorus
Im holdin on to my old mans sneakers
Just goin deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin round at the pawn shop
Waitin for nothin to change
Anything strange is wrong
