San Jose-based ska pop-punkers Smash Mouth went double platinum with their 1997 debut record Fush Yu Mang (the title came from Al Pacino slurring “F*** you, man” in the film Scarface) on the strength of their huge hit “Walkin’ on the Sun.” But the rest of the album is pretty rad ‘n’ rockin’, full of classic rock winks ‘n’ nods culminating in their skankin’ cover of War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends.” And who hasn’t looked at a crowded bar through a pair of Beer Goggles? We’re giving this one a widespread LP release for the first time to commemorate the passing of vocalist Steve Harwell after a long illness… strawberry with black swirl vinyl, complete with inner sleeve featuring lyrics.
