A hét együttese

SMASH MOUTH

Mivel ebből a témából nem érkezett szavazat, illetve csak én szavaztam a P.O.D.-re, ezért egy másik (általam választott) együttesről fogok írni, ez pedig nem más, mint a Smash Mouth.

Az együttes főleg filmekhez ír zenéket, például a Macska-le a kalappal című filmhez, vagy a Shrekhez. Az első lemezük a Fush Yu Mang volt 1997-ben.

A második lemezük az Astro Lounge volt, amin rajta volt az All Star című szám, ami sok filmben szerepelt ( a Shrekben, a Fura hősök és a Rat raceben is).

Ezután, 2001-ben jelent meg a Smashmouth című cd-jük, amin ismét található egy sikerszám, az I'm a believer. Ez a szám is szerepelt a Shrek című filmben.

Legutóbbi, negyedik cd-jük a Get the picture? volt, ami tavaly augusztusban jelent meg.

És íme egyik legsikeresebb számuk, az All star dalszövege:

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star, get your game on - go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star, get the show on - get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Repeat Chorus 2x

Somebody once asked could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Repeat Chorus
