*Designations Congruent With Things is a Pacific Rim fanfiction! Wouldn't all fit in the poll XD

“Look, I don't know about you, but I really believe that there’s one person out there for everybody. That what this is about. Its not just some sappy love letter, telling her how my heart stops every time that i see her. It’s in there, but.. its not just to tell how I think she’s more the homecoming queen, or Mike’s girlfriend or, hows there’s this really amazing person inside of her that no one even bother’s to see. That in there too, but, What its really about is how she should just give me a chance, just one chance. Maybe we could find out if there’s a reason for all this. Why she not with Mike tonight, and after 4 years, I’m still here with this letter. Maybe we could find out what that reason is. You know? Its time to find out. I think I’m ready to do this. Finally.”

Remembering Steve Harwell 1967-2023
After a few days of reports of singer Steve Harwell being in hospice, he has now died at 56. He co-founded the band Smash Mouth in 1994 and was in the band until 2021. They were edgy enough for alt-rock radio (elements of ska and punk), but catchy enough for Top 40 radio. The band was known for their hits "Walking on the Sun" and "All Star", which was the Song of Summer of 1999.
They were a very popular band on movie soundtracks, notably the Shrek movies which featured "All Star" and their cover of The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and The Cat in the Hat which featured their cover of The Beatles' "Getting Better" with composer David Newman (side note: they appeared on quite a few Mike Myers soundtracks). But my favorite song of theirs was their cover of ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby" for the Can't Hardly Wait soundtrack.

In the last few years, Harwell was in the news for controversies. In Summer 2020 they headlined a big concert that became a superspreader event at that point in the Pandemic (before vaccines, etc). For a singer with health issues, that was a little surprising to say the least. After a viral video surfaced in 2021 of his erratic behavior at a concert, he announced he was retiring. Smash Mouth has since carried on with a new singer.

Love this version. It's my favorite!
This is the version of the song featured in Can't Hardly Wait... that scene when Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) walks in.
