Smash Mouth has a rather unique sound, and the genre that fit into is often debated. Some call it post-ska/rock, other have dubbed the band’s sound as rip-off retro-60s pop. Either way, it’s a fun band.

With a #1 hit, “Walkin’ on the Sun” and “All Star” hitting #2 on the charts a couple years later in 1999, Smash Mouth also had some good luck with a few famous covers, including:

• Neil Diamond’s/The Monkeys “I’m a Believer”, which was featured on the movie soundtrack for Shrek.
• “Why Can’t We Be Friends” by War
• The Four Seasons’ “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby” also received some radio airtime. 
• Jumping out of the rock category, they even covered “The Lady is a Tramp” by Frank Sinatra.
