Smash Mouth grabbed "Can't Get Enough of You Baby", a '60s song by Denny Randell and Sandy Linzer, for the soundtrack of the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait, then made it the lead single from Astro Lounge in 1999. Steve Harwell sings it with a grin you can hear, Greg Camp and Paul De Lisle back him up, and the band dresses the old tune in its own retro-party colors.
Eric Valentine produced, engineered and mixed it and added keyboards, alongside Michael Klooster on keys, Mark Camp and Chris Racine on electronics, Kevin Coleman on drums, Greg Camp on guitar and De Lisle on bass. The video sets the band loose at a school dance in a gym, kicked off by an old film projector and cut with scenes from the movie.
