Smash Mouth version The song was covered by American rock band Smash Mouth for the soundtrack to the 1998 film ''Can't Hardly Wait'' and was released as the lead single from the band's album ''Astro Lounge'' (1999).===Music video===The music video takes place at a school dance in a gymnasium. First, we see a lady put a film reel into an old projector. The band immediately begins to perform once the projector starts and it shows a quick fly-by montage of the band performing and the students dancing. Then, other shots of students dancing, which includes a girl dancing on a basketball hoop. Afterwards, we see the band performing while the students continue to dance. Another fly-by montage follows, including scenes from the film ''Can't Hardly Wait''. Then, the scenes between the music video and the film alter. Suddenly, while a man sings with his woman off-key, the band stops and Harwell tells him, "Dude, this is my show!" Shortly after, the band continues playing as more shots between the film and the music video continue. Then, the projector shows some scenes from the film on a small screen with a giant American flag in the background. A girl in the crowd notices Harwell, which then leads to her coming on stage to dance with him. The music video ends with the projector shutting off. ===Charts=======Weekly charts====Chart (1998–1999)Peakposition====Year-end charts====Chart (1998)PositionAustralia (ARIA)94Canada Top Singles (''RPM'')55US Adult Top 40 (''Billboard'')42US Mainstream Top 40 (''Billboard'')84===Certifications======Release history===RegionDateFormatLabelUnited StatesMay 11, 1998Alternative radioElektraJune 9, 1998Contemporary hit radio
