Smash Mouth Celebrate 20 Years of 'All Star' With Breathe Carolina EDM Remix

Hey, right now. You're an all star. Remix your 20-year-old song. Get paid.


That's likely the tune Smash Mouth is singing now, because the order is celebrating its ubiquitous hit "All Star" with the debut of "All Star (Breathe Carolina Remix)" that debuted on Thursday (August 22).


Think you know the meme-tactic song? You haven't heard anything nevertheless, as this version completely transforms the familiar spotlight Shrek tune in a way that makes it feel immediately modern. To bring it to life, Breathe Carolina attempted to combine "punk rock roots with dance music's urgency rhythm," also it definitely sounds as if they succeeded. Listen to the classic version here, in the event you didn't remember how it sounded. Although you didn't forget, did you? No one ever forgets.


"Over the years, it seems like hundreds of remixes of ‘All Star’ have emerged, and we as a musical group are flattered and grateful for the passion and attention,” mentioned Smash Mouth. “We have not commissioned a ‘official’ remix to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our hit ‘All Star'...Until right now Yes, this is the absolute first time the musical group has ever signed off on a true remix, which makes it even more impressive. Also it looks like waiting was the perfect for all parties. This remix has transformed the song into a legitimate banger, and we're not sorry.


Breathe Carolina was similarly thrilled to be involved, especially since the song is still very much a crucial piece of pop culture. Admit it – you're still bumping it for those vehicle singalongs, right?


“‘All Star’ was an enormous piece of our early lives; it was such a big song whenever we were growing up,” mentioned the artists. “To think that we got to take it and give it a modern twist is so crazy!”


While Smash Mouth is in a remixing mood, might we propose a updated version of "Walking on the Sun" soon? It still slaps, and that's no lie.
