    All star gets all the hype but this is their best song. The guitar and organ go so hard and the rhythm in which he sings the lyrics makes it so catchy. RIP Steve

    By far, one of my favorite Smash Mouth singles when it came out in 1997. With the popularity of Austin Powers, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Avengers, Mission Impossible, and Goldeneye (the game 😁), it helped resurge the popularity of 60s psychedelic pop songs for one last run. Shit, even Robert Christgau gave Fush Yu Wang an A- and that's VERY rare for a newcomer to earn this score from this guy. But damn dude...he's gone now. Please show your support for your artists, ya'll...before their gone. Thanks again, Steve. Rest in Peace.🕯🕯

Takes me right back to being a kid…hanging out at the community pool eating fries, pretzels, and Italian ice with this song blasting over the speakers every 30 minutes on the radio. Though Steve will likely pass in the coming days or weeks, this song will invoke emotion in many for years to come!
    “It ain't no joke when a mama's handkerchief is soaked
    With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked
    The bond is broke up, so choke up and focus on the close up
    Mr. Wizard can't perform no godlike hocus-pocus”

    First, R.I.P. to Steve Harwell. This song always will always will have special place in my heart. I was really huge jazzbo; stuff like Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, etc... Then I heard this song in the summer of '97. All my friends hated it, but I loved the vibe and the ambience of the spring reverb guitars and warmth the vocals and drums. This track feels like a beautifully hot summer day with an unmatched brilliance to it. Novel yet very classy.
    I also owe this band a massive thank you for getting me into experimental lounge music specifically the group Tipsy! - a Bay Area duo that was also incredibly amazing for its time. I always wish they would have collaborated together and made some weird experimental lounge madness together. Stay Fresh!

    And then today I find out about Steve, and I am just crushed 🥺
    He lives forever through his music. I know I'll never forget him. Smash Mouth was the first concert I attended without my parents. (Del Mar Fair, San Diego)
    During the performance, Steve chucked his red party cup into the crowd and it narrowly missed me. The contents got me pretty good, though, when someone attempted to catch the cup but instead swatted it down.
    I was so freaked out that my parents would smell the beer and think me & my friends had been drinking. There's no way my mom would've believed that it was just the lead singer's beer all over me 😆

Shed a few tears today hearing that the singer passed, didn’t know how dear to my heart they were. Later on I got caught up in the jokes and memes about Smash mouth, but they’re no joke.

I listened to this song on repeat for hours on end both there and back, and for years after.

It seems like they are alluding to the LA Riots in the last set of lyrics "New is on at 10, your neighborhood is under attack" and "handkerchief is soaked in tears because her baby's life has been revoked". The message seems to be basically that counterculture is cylindrical and that it becomes just another stupid trend before it ever starts to make any real difference. Occupy Wall Street, SJWs and The Tea Party might be good modern examples. The start off genuine, but the get co opted by posers and those with ulterior motives, such as Coca Cola's "By The World a Coke" ad or Pepsi's infamous Black Lives Matter protest ad.

But by 1999 this sound had already been in the forefront of the mainstream with other artists performing similar music.
      After the likes of Sugar Ray, Sublime and other reggae/ska influenced groups started putting out hit after hit, it was so familiar. So Smash Mouth did NOT sell out. They only happened to represent a popular movement in music.
