Discover the story of the song > “105” – Smash Mouth

The protagonist is frustrated about being stuck in traffic and compares the situation to the extinction of dinosaurs. He wishes his car could fly like a kite and imagines going home to watch his favorite TV show. He then addresses the cars in front of him, asking them to pass along a message to the person in the next car. The protagonist reflects on the grumpy atmosphere of the traffic and how it can make people act like clowns. Despite the frustration, he decides to stay positive and enjoy the view from his car. He imagines a couch in the end zone, symbolizing reaching his destination, and mentions having a chainsaw for a mouth, implying that he won't let anyone bring him down.
