The lead singer, Jonathon “Smash” Mouth was actually a leading climate scientist for 30 years before forming the band.
The band was actually started as a way to wake the world up. Their first hit single “walkin’ on the sun” was another hint for people to pay attention to the global climate.
The drummer, Al Gore, actually attempted to run for president in the year 2000. Although he was unsuccessful, he continues to try to fight climate change through documentaries.
Another fun fact is that Al Gore invented the internet in order to spread climate awareness, which is why there’s such a strong correlation between web growth and increase in ecological cocern.
Less wholesome is his other invention designed to monetize the internet: the AlGoreRithm
The AlGoreRithm was actually just his most popular shuffle beat as the drummer in Smashmouth.
