Fush Yu Mang is the debut studio album by American rock band Smash Mouth, released on July 8, 1997 by Interscope Records. [3] It includes their first major hit, "Walkin' on the Sun". The title of the album was taken from a line ("fuck you, man!") slurred by Al Pacino in Scarface . [8] The cover of the album features the band flying through space in guitarist Greg Camp's 1962 Ford Falcon Squire wagon, [9] with a band member's outstretched arm giving the finger. The title is written in a stylized, pseudo-Asian font. The album also features a cover version of War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?". The initial release was given a Parental Advisory label, while later releases were not. Fush Yu Mang has been certified double-platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. for sales in excess of 2 million.
An acoustic re-recording of Fush Yu Mang was planned in 2017 through PledgeMusic for the album's 20th anniversary, and was released on June 29, 2018. [10]
Fush Yu Mang's lead single "Walkin' on the Sun" has a 1960s psychedelic soul and soul-funk music style compared to songs by 1960s music groups like the Zombies and the Yardbirds. [11] [12] [3] It was the last song to be added onto the album. [13] The rest of Fush Yu Mang has been described as pop-punk, [14] [15] and ska punk, [3] with influences from punk rock, ska, reggae, and speed metal. [12] The album shares traits with bands like No Doubt and Goldfinger. [15] [14]

"All Star" is a song by the American rock band Smash Mouth from their second studio album, Astro Lounge (1999). Written by Greg Camp and produced by Eric Valentine, the song was released on May 4, 1999, as the first single from Astro Lounge. The song was one of the last tracks to be written for Astro Lounge, after the band's record label Interscope requested more songs that could be released as singles. In writing it, Camp drew musical influence from contemporary music by artists like Sugar Ray and Third Eye Blind, and sought out to create an "anthem" for outcasts. In contrast to the more ska punk style of Smash Mouth's debut album Fush Yu Mang (1997), the song features a more radio-friendly style.
"Walkin' on the Sun" is a song by American rock band Smash Mouth from their first album, Fush Yu Mang (1997). Released as their debut single in June 1997, the song was Smash Mouth's first major single, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. It was also a success abroad, peaking at No. 3 in Canada and Iceland, No. 5 in Italy and Spain, and No. 7 in Australia, where it is certified platinum for shipments exceeding 70,000 units.

The song reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1975, and uniquely features each band member singing their own verse. It was played in outer space when NASA beamed it to the linking of Soviet cosmonauts and U.S. astronauts for the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. Billboard ranked it as the No. 23 song of that year.
"Then the Morning Comes" is a song by American band Smash Mouth. It was released in September 1999 as the second single from the band's second studio album, Astro Lounge.

Magic is the seventh studio album by American rock band Smash Mouth, released on September 4, 2012 through 429 Records. It is their first album in six years since the release of Summer Girl in 2006. It is also the first album without original guitarist and primary songwriter Greg Camp since his departure from the band, and the last album to feature lead vocalist Steve Harwell before his retirement in 2021 and his death in 2023.
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 Harwell'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 track also ended up on Greg Camp's solo album Defektor, while another ended up on Paul DeLisle's self-titled EP, released under the name Sub Daylights.
