Fush Yu Mang

Fush Yu Mang is the debut studio album by American rock band Smash Mouth, released on July 8, 1997, by Interscope Records. It includes their first major hit, "Walkin' on the Sun". The title of the album was taken from a line ("fuck you, man!") slurred by Al Pacino in Scarface. The cover of the album features the band flying through space in guitarist Greg Camp's 1962 Ford Falcon Squire wagon, with a band member's outstretched arm giving the finger. The title is written in a stylized, pseudo-Asian font. The album also features a cover version of War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?". The initial release was given a Parental Advisory label, while later releases were not. Fush Yu Mang has been certified double-platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. for sales in excess of 2 million.

An acoustic re-recording of Fush Yu Mang was planned in 2017 through PledgeMusic for the album's 20th anniversary, and was released on June 29, 2018.

Musical style
Fush Yu Mang lead single "Walkin' on the Sun" has a 1960s psychedelic soul and soul-funk music style compared to songs by 1960s music groups like the Zombies and the Yardbirds. It was the last song to be added onto the album. The rest of Fush Yu Mang has been described as pop-punk, and ska punk, with influences from punk rock, ska, reggae, and speed metal. The album shares traits with bands like No Doubt and Goldfinger.
