"Looking For A Wall" by Smash Mouth

Today, a song called "Looking For A Wall" sounds like a Trump campaign anthem, but it is an underrated tune from Smash Mouth from their 2003 album, "Get The Picture?" 

Smash Mouth rose to fame in the late 90s with their unique retro style rock that incorporated horns and organs, as if they were playing a 60s beach party. The formula landed them an instant hit with "Walkin' On The Sun," which peaked at #2 in 1998. They followed it up by scoring a #27 hit with their cover of "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" (originally done by The Mysterians). It would be one of many covers the band has done, including "I'm A Believer" (The Monkees), which landed at #25 in 2001. It would be their last chart showing.

Before that, the band also scored smash hits with "All Star" and "Then The Morning Comes," which reached #4 and #11, respectively.
