Feels good.

I LOVE Smash Mouth, but the amount of times their songs have been used in movies has KILLED my love for them. Even Come on Come on was used in a Pizza Hut commercial for a while. Ugh, the only song by Smash Mouth I still listen to today is Who's There?, which I still love.
Hands down of the movies I've seen, All Star is probably the most overplayed to the point I dislike it

I've never heard Song 2 in a movie. I've seen it in videos from NewGrounds and FlashPortal on the internet, but not in movies.

Hm, I disagree. We need more hard rock in movies, not less. I still find Back in Black along with all AC/DC songs, refreshing when I hear them in movies.




Reading through this thread, I saw one notable song people left out.






Ugh, I can't stand that song anymore. It's a great song, but it's lost its effect on me just like All Star.
