SMASH MOUTH

It’s a fucking meme around my friend group as well as pops up on Reddit or YouTube as ‘the absolute worst group you can’t forget’ type bullshit but damnit, I liked em when I was a wee lad. Saved up to get my first CD, you betcha, Smash Mouth. I knew it wasn’t technically impressive music or anything ground break, but I was a stupid pre teen and something about it resonated with me. It was casual lyrics but some fun word play. It was some chubby guy screaming more then signing and it resonated with my awkward overweight self during a time when I wanted to be more confident and social, not the quiet smart ass who is always in back afraid to be looked at. Yeah, I loved listening to Metallica, Tenacious D, Wu Tang and all the other stuff my friends exposed me to. But Smash Mouth was ‘my find’ for music. Now it’s Shrek memes and “every time the Bee Movie is bad play All Star”.

So you know what? Yeah, I do feel like I’m Walking on The Sun sometimes. I am an All Star in my field and Your Man for a Pacific Coast Party. I know Sister Psychic, she is Out of Sight and She Turns Me On even if she can’t tell me where my keys are! I will Hold You High if you can Keep It Down while you’re part of The In Set. But don’t be Disenchanted by my Force Field, I’m just.. well, I’m a Believer in Smash Mouth.
