Smash mouth who s there


Astro Lounge, released in 1999, is the second full length album from the Californian rock band Smash Mouth. It includes the single "All Star", which reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Several other songs were released from the album, including "Waste" and "Then the Morning Comes".

Track listing

All tracks written by Greg Camp, unless otherwise noted.

"Then the Morning Comes"

This song was used in a TV commercial by Nissan. It was Smash Mouth's first single to enter the Billboard charts, reaching number eleven, though it was somewhat eclipsed by the success of "All Star" from the same album.

"Can't Get Enough of You, Baby"

Smash Mouth recorded "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" in 1998 for the film Can't Hardly Wait. The song is track two on the soundtrack.

"Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" is reminiscent of Question Mark and the Mysterians 1967 cover version, as well as Question Mark and the Mysterians' 1967 hit, "96 Tears". The Smash Mouth song was released as a single in 1998 and then later appeared on Astro Lounge. It was recorded by The Toys and The Four Seasons around the same time (neither band releasing the song as a single). It was later recorded by The Colourfield. It was the last song on the album and also the shortest (by one second).

In early 2007, Pizza Hut aired a series of commercials featuring "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" in the background.

TNT Networks also used this track for a montage of "classic" movies to be shown, including Pretty Woman.

"Road Man"

Afternoon drive personality Kenny Roda uses "Road Man" as a bumper for his radio show, heard in Cleveland, Ohio on ESPN 850 WKNR.

"Come On, Come On"

This song was featured in a Gap commercial and the films Big Fat Liar, Dude, Where's My Car?, Snow Day, and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. The song was also used in the episode "Queen Bebe" from the hit television series Kim Possible.
