A cover of the Smash Mouth cover of The Monkees cover of Neil Diamond's classic song. Due on an upcoming Shrek movie and impacting radio in June says Billboard.biz. Sounds pretty hilarious to me.

I'm eager to hear what this sounds like, but I'm not so sure that it will be released to radio since I'd assume that the band would rather have a third single from "Ratitude" sent then this.

Probably the same deal as O Come, All Ye Faithful. Radio will get copies, but not everyone will play it. I'm not sure why they'd cover and release a song that was just done a few years ago either.

Wasn't the Smash Mouth version in the first Shrek?

"Pull Me Back Together" ought to be the next single for rock.

Plus, it's not like the kids being marketed to this time are in a completely different generation than anybody whose seen the first three films. So unnecessary. No thanks. |

Pointless seems like good word for this. I don't show any Nielsen Modern data for the Smash Mouth edition of the song. I doubt this gets much play at all.

I think the reason they might be doing it is since this is supposed to be the last Shrek film, they might have thought it would've been a nice capstone for the series. |

But they'll touch "Can't Stop Partying"? I'm convinced it's going to be a Hail Mary-type choice in which it would be sent to CHR. |

I figured just because it was Smash Mouth they'd get some nominal airplay. But it never even made the upper 100 of Modern in any week.

Definitely heard of Nsync, but couldn't identify a song. And why the heck would I even want to do that? All those teen bands of that era were so fake.

Yeah, right. A used CD I own of New Kids On The Block's greatest hits album is about as closet as I get. And I haven't even heard that yet.

No Strings Attached was a great pop album. Soundtrack of my first grade year.

Despite your sarcastic endorsement, I'll still pass on trying that one. I also have the debut Boyz II Men CD still around somewhere.

You should try it at least once. I'm spinning it now, and the production is still as great as I remember. I'd forgotten how much of a jam "Bye Bye Bye" was.

I'd forgotten how much of a jam "Bye Bye Bye" was. F**kin' A, it was! That song peaked at #3 for two weeks on my personal chart in 2000. It was sandwiched between Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" and Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Otherside" at #'s 1 & 2, respectively, and 311's "Flowing" and blink-182's "Adam's Song"/A Perfect Circle's "Judith" at #'s 4 & 5. |

I remember the first time I heard the song, I was with my gf at the time, we were driving to her house and we both really liked the song, so when I walked her to the door, about ten minutes later, she turned to me and said..."Hey hey, bye bye bye" and I replied with "BYE BYE". It became a really long drawn out joke over the next six months or so. |

It sounds like something my bff/ex-gf and I would've done if "Bye Bye Bye" had come out at least three years later. |
