sometimes I remember somebody actually made this and it didn't just materialize from the void

this song sounds like how listening to it feels

Imagine if the producers of Shrek hadn't decided to use "All Star" for the opening sequence.

What i love is that smash mouth appears more than any other artist in this album but isn't credited on the label

i imagine 200 yrs from now, they'll try to reconstruct Smooth by Santana ft. Rob Thomas based on various corrupted ancient computer files and the end result will sound similar to this

That goddamned xylophone bit makes this song sexy - something a xylophone has never before achieved.

I like the way half of the songs on this album start with smash mouth right out of the gate, and the rest of them hold it off until like 3 minutes in. Some real variation there.

It sounds the way sensitive teeth feel. Edit: The worst part? I listened to this so many times that it's actually a bop now. Even the All Star part. I kind of hate myself.

The All Star sample sounds really pleasant to the ears after a good few minutes of the distorted wringing... Neil is a mad genius.

it's the same as the emotion as i get from--*HARRISON FORD*

Under the melting wreckage of a Sartana Rob Thomas collab concert gone wrong, Steve Harwell is born, bubbling to the surface as he quickly escapes the ooze, intending to form a band of his own.

Neil: *listening to Smooth by Santana ft. Rob Thomas* Inner Neil: make it sound like you put the singer through a cheese grater Inner Inner Neil: add spongebob singing all star in the middle

The original version of Smooth by Santana is how it sounds to be desperately in love with someone, this version is how it _feels_

It sounds like this song would be played at some kind of intergalactic nightclub...

Ah, my favorite Kraftwerk song.

Neil has broken me. I unironically listen to this frequently. SOS

I feel like I'm listening to Rob Thomas sing through a malfunctioning SNES. And I friggin' love it.

The more times you listen to it in a row, the more it sounds "right"

I unironically enjoy this song.

sometimes I forget neil is an actual professional musician who has made numerous albums and has music on very popular TV shows bc I listen to this stuff more than I listen to any of his other stuff

Meanwhile, I've listened to "Smooth" so damn much that I can't deal with not hearing "same as the emotion that I get from Harrison Ford" in this =D

How did Neil make a xylophone sound like the best fucking instrument in the universe? Most of the song is absoloute audio murder with the only solace being the background instrumentals, and then the xylophone comes in like the fucking angel coming to tell mary "god made you pregnant lol lmao"

Its like the audio equivalent of pushing something through a shower drain

Never have I ever believed that music can spontaneously kill you for the sake of comedy. That is, until Shrek crashed into my room almost three minutes in.

i like how at times it sounds like the song is barely staying together yet it still does and it's so good

It's like Santana is actually melting.

It's not just that All Star is in there, it's that it's retuned to sounds smokey and jazzy against the glitchgroove and I love it.

This is good despite being painful to hear, because it ends up more *emotional* than the original. It sounds *desperate*, like the singer is also in pain, forcing the lyrics through a digital acid bath spinning at thrice the speed of light. The world is tormented twisting through unknowable dimensions, every intake of breath tears at your lungs, and through that inferno rise Rob Thomas's words of devotion and agony. I imagine lots of songs would sound more powerful and meaningful than they actually do if they were set on the surface of the sun. Also Smash Mouth drops by to, like, poke at you with a pitchfork.

This is what happens if you replace someone's vocal folds with electric guitar strings somehow.

this is the song that plays when you're getting chased around a deserted city by a malfunctioning rob thomas animatronic who has fallen in love with you

This song is like expecting an ice cream sundae and getting kicked in the face

One day, I will drive to a location, turn the speakers full blast on my car, get on the roof, shout "ARE YOU READY FOR REAL MUSIC?". and then press play.

Good voice effect, it's really ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃａｌｌｙ pleasing

Sounds like an imitation of human music, instead of actually being music made by humans. An alien's interpretation. Also, this is surprisingly awesome. The sound effects and changes are really good and the voice, even though fucked up, is interesting to listen to.

How is this not called Smouth?

How does he get that fucking horrific effect on the voice? I keep hearing it in all kinds of different songs, I love it

Man it's a hot one

it hurts physically to listen to this but i just keep coming back to it. that's what unrequited love is like, i suppose.

Proof that 'Santana' is just a misspelling of 'Satan'.

if you put this song in a loop you dont even realize when it starts over. This is the only way to describe this song

Dropped a gameboy in water.

I'm still trying to figure out where the background track with the xylophone-sounding melody comes from, unless Neil just made it up himself. It's so catchy, I need more of it.

So, Smooth was the number one hit on New Years Eve 1999. Meaning that if Y2k had happened, this may have been the last song you ever heard as your radio melted.

Mouth Moods version of Smooth has programmed me to always expect Harrison Ford, even in the Melt Everyone mix

2:44 hit me like a fucking TRUCK. ...TWO trucks, even.

I legitimately can't hear the original song anymore without my brain defaulting to this version.

Nine Inch Neils

I remember listening to this for the first time about a month ago and reading the comments, and looking at the ones saying "I listened to this long enough that I like it unironically" and thinking 'how do you even do that? This thing is attacking my ears with a cheese grater, that won't be me' and *well*

This... This is surprisingly good. Dear Lord.

At .75 speed, I get this mental image of this old robot/animatronic on the verge of breaking down from a melting hard drive. Sentient and desperate for a new lease on 'life', it warbles out a pained tune straight from its soul... only for some young punk-ass coming in, outright insulting Mr. Sad Robot-Man, and using some of his exposed wires to light a cheap cigarette and use him as a beer coaster, to which the robot continues to lament it's horrid existence, but has a bittersweet moment of still being "useful".

Smoush Math out of nowhere

this is a sobbing fit in song form, even including the all star segment

Alright, who broke the Speak and Spell?

I just learned that Smash Mouth sped up sounds not unlike Weird Al polka medleys slowed down.

Gotta give you props Neil, this version is superior to the original.

The correct dance moves to that would be to bob your knees and do various reload animations

2:49 "Ok ok, i wont use the mini sentry anymore. i'll use something else."

That is the most aggressive snare I've ever heard

hits different when you’re desperately trying not to throw up

this makes the song sound like it's about a serial killer

man i love 100 gecs

"It sounds like a disco version of Smooth." -My Grandmother.

I like to believe that making the face Neil does on the album cover is what made the vocals sound distorted like this.

This is the original song for me now - seriously, I actually find it super weird to hear the Santana version ... memes ruined me

ok i’m mad that i actually like this even though it sounds like shredding a chalkboard with a cheese grater

F L A T L I N E

This song became muuuuuch better. It's like Nine Inch Nails Rob Thomas. Thomas should seriously consider a change of genre.

B-17 Bomber

0:50 - The resolution at the start of the chorus is such a pleasure to hear after enduring the sheer perplexity of the pre-chorus..

Finally, a song as caustic as I feel.

It sounds like Spongebob singing All Star, there. Spooky.

*Man, it's a hot one*

Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun Well, I hear you whispering and the words melt everyone But you stay so cool My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa You're my reason for reason The step in my groove, yeah And if you said this life ain't good enough I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood, yeah 'Cause you're so smooth Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real Or else forget about it Well, I'll tell you one thing If you would leave, it'd be a crying shame In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out, yeah Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow Turning you 'round and 'round And if you said this life ain't good enough I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood, yeah 'Cause you're so smooth Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real Or else forget about it Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin' Fed to the rules, and I hit the ground runnin' Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid All that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold Well, and it's just like the ocean under the moon Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart, make it real Or else forget about it, yeah Or else forget about it Oh, or else forget about it Oh, let's don't forget about it Give me your heart, make it real Oh, let's don't forget about it, yeah Let's don't forget about it, yeah, oh no Oh, let's don't forget about it, oh no, no Oh, let's don't forget about it, yeah, oh no Oh, let's don't forget about it Yeah, yeah

In all seriousness, this is an absolute banger and my favorite track off the album.

This makes my lungs feel like they're lined with vasoline

"Danmit Alphys! Dont spill determination on my music!" -probably neil when this monstrosity of glory was created

It's like someone took the soundtrack to my middle school years, and dissolved it in acetone on a windowsill...

Kahoot-type beat

This gives my inner darkness strength. Update: My inner darkness materialized. I now have twin boys that have the same crazy look in their eyes and smiles on their faces as dear old dad. Plus the woman who was mad enough to marry me mixed into those boys. And let me tell you. I fear no human, but that woman scares the absolute Hell out of me. Run.

I really enjoy the crazy structured randomness of this one. It feels like the theme for a mad scientist or neil cicierega, a mad musician.

Hearing this for the first time in total pitch black is the scariest fucking thing thats ever happened to me

If you don't quite listen to the lyrics, this sounds like the theme for a psychotic robot supervillain.

this is how it feels to be desperately in love: loud, uncomfortable, and a little embarrassing. and like we love this song, the lover finds their match

My uncle with throat cancer sang on this one.

when the warforged wizard with 8 charisma crits the seduction check

This is unironically a banger, holy shit.

When someone tells you it tastes salty but it’s bitter as hell.

Mr. Game & watch mains be like...

Oh no! Santana became too smooth and melted

unironically really love this. like this is in my top 5 favorites in all of the mouth albums

This sounds like a robot having a hell of a mental breakdown and i unironically love it lmao

This sounds like McDonalds sprite

this feels like going to school when you’re sick to me and i can’t explain it

This sounds like Smooth but you’re not into the person singing it to you. Smooth: Second Hand Embarrassment Edition

I just realized that there is shrecks face in his glasses :l

Man this hits different. A whole mood fr

This is what a headache sounds like. I love it.

This is the kinda song you’d hear in Jabba’s palace

i like to listen to this song when i need to get out of class. it induces headaches so i can leave without lying

AllStar sped up=weird AL
