Sep 16, 2011 Reform School Vs. Smash Mouth - "All Star"

This week the girls are again rewinding, this time to the early 2000's to check out a video from Smash Mouth for the song "All Star."

 

 

In 1999, Smash Mouth recorded a song written by their lead guitarist Greg Camp that would become one of their most successful records, and an anthm of sorts for the new millenium. "All Star" rose to #2 on the Billboard Alternative chart and #4 on the Hot 100. It was featured in six films, beginning with 1999's "Mystery Men." The stars of the movie (including William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, Kel Mitchell and Janeane Garofalo) all appear in the music video.


The video is actually a send-up of the movie, where a group of minor (and sometimes inept) superheroes must save the world. Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell moves through the streets of Hollywood's Colonial Street, performing heroic acts and superhuman feats - and generally saving the day.


Jackie and Martina love the song, and think the video is fun, giving it an A- and an A, respectively. Their characterization of Harwell as "a cross between Uncle Kracker and Bubba Sparxxx with Mark Hoppus' voice" is classic Reform School.


Enjoy!
