On Tuesday, mutual admirers Smash Mouth and Car Seat Headrest threatened to release covers of each other’s songs, and on Thursday, Smash Mouth made good on that promise.

Stereogum premiered Smash Mouth’s brash and bombastic interpretation of Will Toledo’s 2015 lo-fi jaunt “Something Soon.”
For comparison’s sake, here’s the original.
Here’s Smash Mouth’s Greg Camp and Toledo discussing how this blessed union came to be.
