"Walkin' on the Sun" is a song by American rock band Smash Mouth from their first album, Fush Yu Mang (1997).

Smash Mouth guitarist Greg Camp said about "Walkin' on the Sun": It was written during the whole Rodney King thing.

[4]Paul De Lisle, the band's bassist, stated the original version of "Walkin' on the Sun" was more of a rap song.

"[9] Music Week rated the song five out of five, adding, "This fun-loving US quartet have managed to fuse The Doors with the Stereo MCs to create a deliciously frug-inducing slice of slacker pop.

"[10] A reviewer from NME wrote, "'Walkin' On The Sun' is a classic, straight out of the groovy, secret agent world of Austin Powers.

Although it was written in the aftermath of the Rodney King beatings, it has an organ hook that's a deadringer for The Zombies' 'She's Not There' and growling staccato vocal that make it the perfect soundtrack for a strut down Carnaby Street circa 1967.

"[11] The song's accompanying music video, directed by McG, begins with each band member, one at a time, walking down a dark alley.

Then, the band performs in a room while scenes of Steve Harwell pushing a remote control makes two girls appear under a glass dome.

The song is a playable track in the video game Rock Band 3[62] and was featured in the movies An American Werewolf in Paris (1997), Can't Hardly Wait (1998), Made of Honor (2008), the television film Shredderman Rules (2007) and in the UK trailer for What Just Happened (2008).
