Smash Mouth continues to fight with Twitter trolls about their 'reputation'
Twenty years ago, Smash Mouth were "all stars with their game on" -- and now they're fighting hard on Twitter to hold onto that mantle.
Hard, and shamelessly.
The battle started over a year ago after a Twitter user accused Smash Mouth of only becoming famous because of their Shrek contributions, including "All Star." Since then, user after user have lodged similar complaints -- and Smash Mouth's Twitter account has fought back, nearly every single time.
