smashmouth - 'walkin on the sun'(1996)

at first i wasnt sure if i wanted to include this because its sort of on a sixties pop tip which would make me like one of those guys who puts indie pop on best singles lists but then i remembered how thrilling and infectious the uncaptureable vocals of the fat guy in ray bans are and his fantastic pseudo brit rap style on the breakdown! luckily for smashmouth about a zillion 00s thirteen year olds are currently being exposed to this thanks to the magic of tv commercials that literally interpret 'ironic' song lyrics (see also 'lust for life' and 'bohemian like you'), which are singlehandedly saving music
