The year this came out, I remember my dad sending me on the bus with his Sony Walkman CD player and a pouch full of albums. This was one of them. I listened to this song on repeat for hours on end both there and back, and for years after.

    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!

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.

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"New is on at 10, your neighborhood is under attack" and "handkerchief is soaked in tears because her baby's life has been revoked".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.
