Smash Mouth is an American rock band from San Jose, California.
 The band was formed in 1994, and was originally composed of Steve Harwell (vocals), Kevin Coleman (drums), Greg Camp (guitar), and Paul De Lisle (bass).
 They are known for songs such as "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997), "All Star" (1999), and a cover of The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" (2001), the latter two of which were featured on the soundtrack for the animated film "Shrek".
Old Habits was planned to be Smash Mouth's fifth studio album and was expected to be released in the summer of 2005.
 According to the band's official website at the time, the album was going to sound much more like ska punk, similar to Fush Yu Mang and The East Bay Sessions.
 In September 2005, the band performed what was tentatively going to be the album's first single, "Getaway Car", on Last Call with Carson Daly.
 The album was delayed many times, in the hope of gaining publicity with Steve's appearance on the reality show The Surreal Life.
 Smash Mouth returned to the studio intent on making their new record better, however, Old Habits was eventually shelved and most tracks were remixed and released on Summer Girl.
 One also ended up on Greg Camp's solo album Defektor.
Mouth Moods is the third mashup album by American musician and comedian Neil Cicierega, released on 23 January 2017.
 Like his previous mashup albums "Mouth Sounds" and "Mouth Silence", its source material is primarily Top 40 hits from the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
 In addition to the return of samples from Smash Mouth "All Star", which were more carefully hidden in "Mouth Silence", the song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies appears as a recurring element of the album.
Greg Camp (born Gregory Dean Camp), is an American Grammy Award-nominated songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist.
 He is best known as the founding guitarist and songwriter for the rock band Smash Mouth.
 (1994–2008, 2009–2011) Camp is credited as the primary songwriter, whose songs helped to catapult the band to acclaim with hit songs, awards, and multi-platinum albums.
 Camp left Smash Mouth after 16 years and has remained an active songwriter and music producer to date.
"Walkin' on the Sun" is the debut single by American rock band Smash Mouth, from the album "Fush Yu Mang".
 Released in 1997, it was Smash Mouth's first major single, reaching #1 on the "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart and #2 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 Airplay singles chart.
Smash Mouth is the self-titled third studio album by rock band Smash Mouth, released in late 2001.
 It is notable in that it was their first album with new drummer Michael Urbano and its release was delayed a few months due to the death of lead vocalist Steve Harwell's son, Presley Scott Harwell.
Mouth Silence is the second mashup album by American musician and comedian Neil Cicierega.
 Following the format of his previous release, "Mouth Sounds", the album is composed of mashups and remixes of popular songs from the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
 Unlike "Mouth Sounds", which used the song "All Star" by Smash Mouth as a recurring element, no tracks on the album audibly reference the song (although some contain Easter eggs of various "All Star" clips).
 Alternatively, the song "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind is a recurring element of the album.
 A third installment, "Mouth Moods", was released in 2017.
"Come On Come On" is a song by Smash Mouth from their 1999 album "Astro Lounge".
 The song was first recorded for "The East Bay Sessions", a demo recorded prior to the band's first album, and was also included on Smash Mouth's 2005 best-of album, "All Star Smash Hits".
Di-rect is a rock band from The Hague, The Netherlands, which was formed in 1999.
 The current line-up consists of Jamie Westland (drums), Frans "Spike" van Zoest (guitars), Bas van Wageningen (bass) and Marcel Veenendaal (lead vocals).
Mouth Sounds is a mashup album by American musician Neil Cicierega.
 The album was released independently by Cicierega on April 27, 2014.
 Consisting of mashups pairing Top 40 hits of the 1980s and 1990s along with Smash Mouth's "All Star", "Mouth Sounds" received positive reviews from music critics.
 It received a second installment, "Mouth Silence", months later, which followed the same mashup format, and a third installment in "Mouth Moods" in 2017.
