Perennial “All-Star” band Smash Mouth is taking on The Beatles in their latest single. The group (who are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album this year), have released their take on the Fab Four’s first top-20 hit, “Love Me Do.” The Southern California band’s version adds some ska guitar, and the traditional Smash Mouth vibe, which was also exhibited on their 2001 cover of Neil Diamond’s “I’m a Believer.”
“Of course Smash Mouth are all massive Beatles fans,” said bassist Paul DeLisle, “and it’s such a huge honor to release this single. …(We) saw an opportunity to give a very different treatment to The Beatles.. I personally hope people will hear the excitement and loving care we put into this recording. I’m pretty sure they will.”
The single is now available to stream or download on all the usual platforms.
