Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun
Release date: 1997
The song interpolates the keyboard riff from the 1966 single "Swan's Splashdown" by the electronic music duo Perrey and Kingsley, which gives it a '60s retro sound. The mixing of musical genres and eras served Smash Mouth well and helped set the tone for their future hits.
The first line is: "It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke". This is a reference to a famous 1971 Coca-Cola commercial where they sing, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke."
Album: Fush Yu Mang
