If you’ve been listening to the Frotcast, you know one of our favorite things ever are those isolated vocal tracks that have been going around the internet. It started with David Lee Roth singing his own back-up on Runnin’ with the Devil (OOOH BABY YOU KNOW I AIN’ LYIN AAAAAH AHAAAAAAAAA!), and it got even hotter this week with the guy from Smash Mouth (CALIFONYA GOT SUNSHINE! HANGIN’ OUT WITCHO FRIENDS!). Sorry, Steve Harwell, you are forever “the guy from Smash Mouth.” In any case, someone took the two tracks and did the obvious thing and cut them together. Two great tastes that go well together! It’s exactly what you’d expect, and I cannot stop laughing.
This is neither here nor there, but if I ever get rich, I’m going to pay Fred Schneider from the B-52s to follow me around, narrating everything I do. “He SAID he WANTS, a CUP of COFFAAAAYYYY!”

Fred Schneider would be the best sassy gay BFF ever.
Fred Schneider is gay?
Affta I know dis band for 35 years I zay to my vife I theenk diz man he iz ah B-52.
Fred is not BFF material because he’s a bad listener. “Let’s go to brunch. We’ll take your Chrysler.” “I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
Somebody should perform that at a poetry slam. Worth at *least* a 7.
On New Year like 3 years ago I was at a casino and this blonde dude in the elevator asked me if I was there for the show. My response was “what show?” And he informs me that Smash Mouth was playing later that night. To which I said “Smash Mouth fucking sucks dude.” Then, walking out of the casino I see a poster for the show. With said blonde guy holding a bass guitar. I felt better than I did the first time I voted.
I had never heard of the Smash Mouth isolated lyrics thing until last week when Will Forte mentioned it on the CBB podcast apparently its one of his favorite things ever but I didn’t know it was a whole internet thing..
I too had that revelation listening to both podcasts one after another.
All they need is Guy Fieri on bass and they can name their band High Value Target.
Even as someone with a soft spot for garbage 90′s pop, I’m not familiar with that particular Smashmouth song. But, there’s no way it sounds any better with the rest of the band playing.
you all need to die of rectal cancer. all these bands were insufferable the first time their tunes played on mtv or the hundredth. Shame on each and every one of you for liking this bland dreck.
