Astro Lounge

Astro Lounge is the second studio album by American rock band Smash Mouth, released on June 8, 1999 by Interscope Records. The album includes the single "All Star", which reached #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and is widely considered as the group's signature song. Three other singles were also released from the album, including "Then the Morning Comes", "Waste", and a cover version of The Four Seasons' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby".

"All Star" was featured in the 1999 superhero comedy film Mystery Men, and it was also the lead single to that film’s soundtrack. The song was heard in the film two times, including at the end credits. Since appearing in Mystery Men, it was later heard in many movies (most notably Shrek), TV shows, commercials, trailers, and network promos, and entered the zeitgeist of pop culture. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

"Then the Morning Comes" was used in a TV commercial by Nissan. It was Smash Mouth's first single to enter the Billboard charts, reaching number eleven, though it was eclipsed by the success of "All Star" from the same album.

Smash Mouth recorded a cover of "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" in 1998 for inclusion in the film Can't Hardly Wait. Their version is reminiscent of Question Mark and the Mysterians 1967 cover version (as well as Question Mark and the Mysterians' 1967 hit, "96 Tears"). It was also released as a single in 1998, and later appeared on Astro Lounge. It was the last song on the album and also the shortest (by one second).

The song was first recorded by The Four Seasons and then The Toys, both in 1966 (though neither band released the song as a single). It was also recorded by The Colourfield in 1985.

In early 2007, Pizza Hut aired a series of commercials featuring "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" in the background.

TNT Networks also used this track for a montage of "classic" movies to be shown, including Pretty Woman.

"Diggin' Your Scene" was used in episode 17 of the first season of the television show Alias. Thirty minutes into the flashback episode "Q & A", the song plays over a montage of the protagonist Sydney Bristow performing a series of action stunts and costume changes (while the lyric "every day a new disguise, every night a Halloween" is sung).
