  • Rae from The SunWhat do they mean by "buying the world a toke"? when I look up "toke" it says it's the action of puffing weed, but that doesn't make sense in the context of that line
  • Joe from UsThis track is heavily influenced by the Zombies' 1965 song "She's not there"
  • Londonbach from 'way Out West In AlabamaI stopped listening to radio back in the 80's and had not ever heard Walking On The Sun until October of 2020. It was playing on the WalMart p.a. as I walked across the parking lot. Walking On The Sun stopped me in my tracks. I waited until the end before I moved again. That's when I heard what I figured must be the title..."...you might as well be walking on the sun..." I came home and found the vid on youtube. (You Might As Well Be) Walking On The Sun is a real work of art to me. The vid and the music just fit great together. Greg Camp, Eric Valentine and Smash Mouth made some fine music and that McG dude did a good job with the video. Keep on rockin' y'all. Adios fer now.

    Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it"

To younger generations (part of which was made up of childs of hippies) considered being a hippie to wear a certain kind of clothing and outfits and to talk in a certain way, instead of focusing on the
