Based on their infectious summer single "Walking on the Sun," it was easy to dismiss Smash Mouth as a one-hit wonder, since it was hard to believe that they'd be able to top that sun-kissed delight that was easily the highlight of their debut, Fush Yu Mang. Perhaps that's why their second record, Astro Lounge, feels like such a surprise, since it carries through on the promise of "Walking on the Sun."

Perhaps that's why their second record, Astro Lounge, feels like such a surprise, since it carries through on the promise of "Walking on the Sun." Like Sugar Ray -- a fellow veteran of the ska-punk underworld who delivered a follow-up that owed more to melodic pop and new wave than its hit predecessor -- Smash Mouth have created an album that is unabashedly fun, catchy, and lightweight, the ideal music for a car radio or a day at the beach. It's true that nothing on Astro Lounge is as immediately grabbing as "Walking on the Sun," but every song shares the same party-ready mentality and irresistible, trashy AM-radio vibe. No, nothing on Astro Lounge is particularly deep, but it's all good fun and it never disappoints -- which is quite a remarkable feat, since one-hit wonders rarely deliver a second album that betters their first. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Who's There
Smash Mouth Lyrics
You you look to the stars for answers
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought
That there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs
Shining through celluloid
Across the country little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
Who's there who's there
Fond of a night out in California
It's late an interruption in space
You smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses
Blue gas burning above flicks and cartoons
Bumper stickers in preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder
[Chorus]
A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theatre doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous men co-ordinance
Point at the moon
And the children gather and wonder
[Chorus]

I always imagine some guys surfing through space on hoverboards in the credits of a movie when I hear this
Julieta M Gomez
That is so cool and so underrated bro
Eric Romano
I also imagine this being played during movie credits 🤔🤔😂😂. For some reason I think of the cat in the hat movie even though theirs no correlation between the 2.

same. All Star was the first song I knew all the words to but it definitely isn't the best song on this album (Road Man, obvs)
