Robert Christgau A–

Fush Yu Mang, released on July 8, 1997, is the debut studio album from the San Jose rock band Smash Mouth. It includes their first major hit, "Walkin' on the Sun". The title of the album was taken from a line ("fuck you, man!") slurred by Al Pacino in Scarface. (One song, "Padrino", contains the line "I'll take any flick with Al Pacino".) On the cover of the album is the band in Greg Camp's '62 Ford Falcon Squire wagon flying through space with an outstretched arm giving the finger. The title is written in a stylized, pseudo-Asian font. The album also features a cover of War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?". The initial release was given a Parental Advisory label, while later releases were not.

An acoustic re-recording of Fush Yu Mang will be released in 2017 through PledgeMusic for the album's 20th anniversary.

All songs by Greg Camp, except where noted.
