Smash Mouth (Official Thread)

[chipdip18]

Really? No official Smash Mouth Thread? Go listen to Astro Lounge. It'll surprise you.

[versus_god]

I used to own that CD.

[chipdip18]

I'm listening to it now. Underrated in my book.

[chipdip18]

No love.

[Anthony Lutz]

This is nothing more than a sick joke isn't it?

[chipdip18]

Absolutely not. Listen to Astro Lounge.

[Kid B]

Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. (inevitable)

[chipdip18]

Songs like Satellite own.

[Kid B]

Aside from the nostalgia of Allstar, this band sucks. At age nine I heard their cover of Getting Better on The Cat In The Hat, and when I got Sgt Pepper, that song was ruined.

[Genuma]

Used to be my favorite band.

lol

[AP_Punk]

i was crazy about these guys ... when i was 10.

i haven't heard fush yu mang in years.

[zackisonfire]

They were definitely number one on my old "My K00l K4zz4" cd's when i was like 10.

[micahistheballs]

All Star's all I know.

[versus_god]

I loved "Road Man". Skaskaskaska.

[AP_Punk]

I loved "Road Man". Skaskaskaska.

hahaha. i remember that!

someone should send me this album.

[Chris Fallon]

I remember buying Astro Lounge the day it came out, the same day as Californication.

Anyway, I'm not too into these guys anymore, but for as much pop-Disney bullshit they write these days, they have a good amount of solid pop hits. Their early stuff is pretty fun skank music - "Flo" and "Beer Goggles" pack so much energy into small packages.

[Wildness774]

yeah astro lounge is a great album definitley
so is fush yu mang
the rest are alright

[chipdip18]

Check out Satellite. I swear that Astro Lounge has some hidden gems.

[HelpMeSleep]

fucking loved Astro Lounge. probably the coolest album i owned in 5th grade. other than "All Star", "Diggin Your Scene" was probably my favorite. but yeah i busted that album out and put it on my itunes semi-recently.

[chipdip18]

[thesafeword]

[thesafeword]

[chipdip18]

Sorry for impatience. I just listened to it again a few minutes ago, I'll tell you what i think are the stand-out tracks if you care.

[ftsKATE]

i need to dig it up and put it on my comp.

[Until The Bombs]

Lagwagon's "Beer Goggles" >> their "Beer Goggles" :-)

but really all I know are that one, All Star, and a couple more that I'm forgetting the names of.

[chipdip18]

Songs like "Who's There" "Satellite" "I Just Wanna See" "Waste" and "Then The Morning Comes" deserve a listen.

[HelpMeSleep]

YEAH! It has some solid songs huh?
Haha yeah! it totally does! i'm listening to it right now thanks to you and your thread. :-)

[HelpMeSleep]

listening to this album makes me think of Eiffel65. Europop was another album i loved in 5th grade haha.

[Genuma]

I found my Astro Lounge a few months ago but it was snapped in half with brown stains on it. Yeah, I listened to it a lot.

[CellarGhosts]

Gotcha, I'll check them out.

I'll give you that.

Their newer stuff is so-so (a little too cheeseball for me), but they have a decent pop song every so often - "Story of My Life" isn't too shabby.

I say give their first two albums a listen - they dropped the ska influence for Astro Lounge, but still, not such a bad pop record.

[Pluto.]

Yeah, I hear ya. The last thing I remember hearing from them I wasn't digging at all. But I might go back and check out more of their old shit.

[Carlo Marx]

fush yu mang is a solid ska album.

[chipdip18]

Astro Lounge was their peak.

[Kid B]

Why the fuck does this thread exist? They fucking suck!

They had some solid tunes that everyone forgot about or never heard. Check my post on the previous page.

[HelpMeSleep]

Haha it totally was! i still listen to it every now and then! lol

[Pluto.]

Yeah! I think I remember they had this song called Move your Body or something like that on their cd? I can't remember. But that was one of my favorite songs that they did.

Haha yeah, me too. My other faves were "Too Much Of Heaven" and of course "Blue" :-)

[EchoPark]

I remember all the jocks in high school who would cruise into the school parking lot blaring All Star as loud as they could in their shitty treble heavy car stereos.

[HelpMeSleep]

Lol. That's funny because when I remember blaring "All Star" it was in my mom's car on the way to soccer games when I was in 5th grade.

[AlternateToLife]

I think I'm A Believer is still on my ipod lol.


I was in love with these guys cause they were in Rat Race lol. I love that movie.

Haha, I was afraid to admit it at first, but so do I. Mostly just because of John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson and John Lovitz haha.

What no Whoopie Goldberg? hahaha

I think it's just cause it's so awful, it's amazing.

[HelpMeSleep]

Aww I loved that movie. My brother and I used to watch it over and over. I haven't seen it for a few years now.

[Genuma]

You tread on thin HATRED ICE.

[disco.tetris]

Beat me to it.

[disco.tetris]

Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow!

[magicmike_1234]

i was all about smashmouth. i saw them play between quite riot and zz top at a four day classic rock festival in a hayfield in nebraska. their were about 2000 drunk people watching them that were all dancing around doing the L on the forhead thing. the singer kept freaking out because the monitor or something kept going out. he threw the mic and chewed the tech out right in front of everybody and the band was just like wtf is going on. and i caught a guitar pick!

the good ole days

[SLoT]

Fush Yu Mang. check it out. You've definitely heard it before. Maybe you don't remember.

[chipdip18]

[Chris Fallon]

"Flo" FTW

[WakeUpBlondie]

I saw them last month at some nascar race in kentucky haha

[DysenteryJarred]

smash mouth owns. listen to all their stuff, much more than a corny commercial band.

[Jefferson Rank]

They have so much better stuff then All Star. That song pisses me off now.

[Chris Fallon]

"Radio" is a solid pop jam. I love Astro Lounge much more now than I originally did in '99.
