"Fush Yu Mang" is Smash Mouth's debut studio album, released on July 8, 1997, via Interscope Records. The album's title, which is a playful misspelling of "Fuzzy Mang," reflects the band's quirky personality and sense of humor. Produced by Michael Crossey and Smash Mouth, the album blends ska, punk, rock, and pop to create a unique sound that's both catchy and irreverent.

Steve Harwell passed away in September 2023. Since his death, there has been a critical re-evaluation of Smash Mouth’s early work. Fush Yu Mang is no longer seen as a novelty act; it is viewed as a time capsule of the 1997 San Jose ska-punk explosion—the last breath of pre-internet rock radio.
