Ep. 312: Greg Camp discusses Smash Mouth’s “Walkin’ On the Sun”
About this episode
Greg Camp returns to discuss the creation and impact of Smash Mouth's hit song 'Walkin’ On the Sun'.
Smash Mouth made an instant impact with the release of their 1997 debut single “Walkin’ On the Sun.” The song had a unique throwback vibe that stood out, not only from the other songs on the Fush Yu Mang album, but also from the band’s radio and MTV contemporaries. What became a launchpad for a huge career started as a years-old forgotten cassette demo in a closet, and in this episode, Smash Mouth guitarist Great Camp makes his return to the show to share how this unforgettable track came to be.
