"Astro Lounge", released in 1999, is the second full length album from the San Jose, California rock band Smash Mouth. It includes the single "All Star", which reached number four on the U.S. billboard Hot 100, and was also featured on the soundtrack to the movie "Shrek" (the song is played during the film's opening credits). The song also plays out over the last scene of the 1999 movie "Mystery Men". Several other songs were released from the album, including "Waste" and "Then the Morning Comes".

"Then the Morning Comes"

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

"Can't Get Enough of You, Baby"

Smash Mouth recorded "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" in 1998 for the movie "Can't Hardly Wait". The song is track two on the soundtrack.

"Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" was released as a single in 1998 and then later appeared on "Astro Lounge". It was originally by The Four Seasons and was later covered by Question Mark and the Mysterians and The Colourfield, making Smash Mouth the fourth band to record the song. It was the last song on the album and also the shortest (by one second).

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

"Road Man"

Afternoon drive personality Kenny Roda uses "Road Man" as a bumper for his radio show, heard in Cleveland, Ohio on ESPN 850 WKNR.
