"Lucky Denver Mint" is a song by American rock band Jimmy Eat World from their third studio album Clarity, which was released on February 23, 1999.

[5][6] However, before Clarity was even formally released, "Lucky Denver Mint" became something of a surprise radio hit after an A&R professional from the label sent the song to KROQ radio in Los Angeles in 1998,[5][7][6] which decided to put the song on rotation there despite there being no official album release, and the sudden popularity of the song on such a large radio station convinced the label to formally release both the song and then later the album.

[8][9] At the peak of the song's popularity, it received plenty of airplay on stations from across the country, although it ironically did not appear in heavy rotation in Denver, Colorado.

[10] Vocalist and lyricist Jim Adkins claimed the song was not about the city of Denver, but was instead about "getting drunk in Las Vegas.
