History YMMV / SmashMouth

*** [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} BODY]] once told me the world is gonna roll me...

* OlderThanTheyThink: "All Star" was originally a successful hit for the group in 1999, but was widely forgotten until 2001.

* FaceOfTheBand: Steve Harwell is the lead vocalist. Although their hits were written by former guitarist Greg Camp.

* TearJerker: Steve Harwell apparently turned to alcoholism following the death of his son in 2001, leading to increasing health issues that would cumulate in infamous performances such as the Taste of Fort Collins concert mentioned above and an even worse performance at a New York venue more recently in October 2021, where the singer would spend most of the setlist drunkenly berating and threatening audience members, mumbling gibberish into the microphone, and barely even making an effort to perform with the rest of the band. This soon resulted in his retirement from music altogether barely a week after.

** They topped themselves with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LSBrccSbBI Love is a Soldier]]", which is an [=EDM=] song. Yes, really. It worked as well as one would expect.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** "All Star", of course.
** Their first hit, "Walkin' on the Sun", does not get nearly enough love.
** Their cover of Music/TheMonkees' (originally, Neil Diamond's) "I'm A Believer".
* FaceOfTheBand: Steve Harwell.

* SignatureSong: "All Star".
* SongAssociation: Try not to talk about the band without thinking about WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}.

* NeverLiveItDown:
** Steve Harwell will probably never hear the end of his [[ClusterFBomb curse-filled rage]] at people throwing bread at him during the 2015 Taste of Fort Collins festival--which, mind you, is a ''family-friendly'' festival.
** Their retweeting of a Shadman picture has become this to a lesser extent.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: In 2012, they released their seventh album, ''Magic'', featuring a song named after Music/JustinBieber. It gained little to no notability aside from [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks a mixed review from Allmusic]].

* SnarkBait: Try not to talk about the band without thinking about WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}.

* EarWorm:
** "All Star" is a particular case.
** The aforementioned "Walkin' on the Sun".
