Masters of the meme and potential Car Seat Headrest collaborators Smash Mouth are famous for a number of things – their unironically excellent 1999 hit ‘All Star’, that time they posted a weird Carrie Fisher tribute, and their all around mastery of the social media website Twitter.

This morning, they’ve used that same platform to call out Australia’s own Alex Lahey, the singer-songwriter behind the excellent B-Grade University EP, for reasons that are still rather unspecified.

I mean, the Tweet is positive, albeit in the vaguest sense of that word.

It’s unclear whether the Tweet is:

A) Designed to alert the world to Lahey’s greatness

B) The beginning of a weird admonishment of Lahey (“if you don’t know, Alex Lahey…”)

C) Literal word salad.

But hey, here at the BRAG, we love Alex Lahey and we love Smash Mouth, so we’re chalking up the opportunity to write about them both in the one story as an (admittedly unexpected) win.

We will keep you updated as this breaking story develops, because there are definitely not things you should be more worried about.
