Total. Genius.

There are a lot of very good tweets out there, but there are few that involve this level of dedication and planning.

For the last week, Spotify worker Richard Cook has been planning a Twitter Easter Egg of absolute genius proportions.

The final reveal came on Tuesday. It requires a bit of backreading, but you only need to get through a few tweets before everything becomes gloriously clear...

We've put the rest of his tweets in reverse order to make things easier (and there's a TL;DR bit at the bottom if you're feeling lazy):

CARD ID: 233342

CARD ID: 233343

TL;DR: The first word from each of his tweets spells out the lyrics to "All Star" by Smash Mouth.

Obviously Cook does work for Spotify, so there's a chance this was all just an orchestrated PR stunt. But hey, even if it was, it's still an undeniably inspired one.

H/T Twitter Moments.
