Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun


  • The first line is:

    It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke

    This is a reference to a famous 1971 Coca-Cola commercial where they sing, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke." When the song took off, Smash Mouth heard from Coke's lawyers, but nothing came of it.


The jaunty melody belies the serious nature of this song, which is about the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The song was written by the group's guitarist Greg Camp, who told Songfacts: "The song was basically a social and racial battle cry. It was a sort of 'Can't we all get along?' song for the time when I wrote it. It was just about all the things that were going on around me as a young person. And I'm, like, God, what is going on? I don't understand why this is happening. It's like we might as well be walking around a planet on fire."

The riots took place after four white police officers were acquitted after a videotaped beating of a black motorist named Rodney King. "Can't we all get along?" was King's famous quote during a news conference to address the riots.
