The lead singer, Jonathon "Smash" Mouth was actually a leading climate scientist for 30 years before forming the band.

The band was actually started as a way to wake the world up. Their first hit single "walkin' on the sun" was another hint for people to pay attention to the global climate.

The drummer, Al Gore, actually attempted to run for president in the year 2000. Although he was unsuccessful, he continues to try to fight climate change through documentaries.
