Fuck that COVID shit.” 🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨 The Buffalo Chip is attracting hundreds, if not thousands, due to the 80th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

All of the free lyrics websites may have had the best traffic yesterday due to the need to find specific douche context in their songs to post to Twitter as commentary

SmashMouth is still around?

Shameful.

Who would risk their lhealth to see Smash Mouth ?

'seem to'? How do you look at a face and not know whether or not they're wearing a mask? I am so sick of apologetic journalism!

goulcher Chumbawumba is a biker gang fave!?!? 🤣

All that glitters is gold?

Smash Mouth playing at a biker rally tells you everything you need to know about how tough Smash Mouth and bikers think they are.

ThrowBreadAtSmashmouth

Solution. 1. Hand out loafs of bread to the crowd. 2. Crowd will start throwing bread at shitty band. 3. Band will curse out crowd and leave. 4. No more shitty band.

Again smashmouth proves the selfish ignorance of the American “me first” generation, zero self-control, zero social conscience, zero patriotism, a bunch of has beens showing their ignorance! smashmouth BoycottSmashmouth

Rolling 'Karen' Stone

Hey bikers ... don't delay, act now, supplies (of PPE) are running out...

The name of the band says it all!

Hopefully Covid kills their career. We have suffered enough from this mediocre band

According to reports, Smash Mouth is going to change its name to Darwin's Revenge.

Smash Mouth? More like Rona Breath.

Wow just had to add you sucked way before covid.

Ya can’t blame Smash Mouth. Why would they expect people to show up to their concert? Before this a Smash Mouth concert was the safest place you could be.

Must have been a bad ass biker meet up when smash mouth is 'rocking'. Not really the SOA crowd

FRANDO2005 Tell me again how stupid it is when a politician says let the people decide what health care they want. F****** people can't decide to even wear a mask to protect others. 25% of America is absolutely batshit crazy.

People are willing to risk their lives for Smash Mouth

I know they need their money or whatever, but this is so irresponsible on their part.

'Hey now, take your mask off, get covid. Go diiiie.' 🎶

Smash Mouth will forever be known as the douche bags of rock n roll

“Hey now, you’re infected ...”

You don’t have to say a biker rally in South Dakota - it’s okay - you can say Sturgis. We all know what it is

May want to hold off on buying that used Harley for a couple weeks...inside source tells me they’ll be lots to choose from

How hard up do you have to be to perform this show?

Jesus Christ dying for Smash Mouth?

Risk my life for Smash Mouth? No thanks. Sugar Ray on the other hand...

Is it really that hard to hold off on these things until the numbers are under control 🤦🏼‍♀

99.9 % will survive. The .01 % will die from something other than covid19.

Smashmouth isn’t worth risking ur life 4. Having Smashmouth entertain bikers is as smart as serving up Yanni 2 Deathmetal fans. Lol that SturgisRally serves these one-hit-looser-dumbshits up as “entertainment.” 2020=apocalypse. Betin’ the 4horsemen were backstage, too.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Did we expect more of... Smashmouth?

I'm a little bitch

Imagine risking your life to see smash mouth

Who would risk catching the virus to see Smash mouth? Seriously?

Its a peaceful protest.

Jacobs71 The only shocking thing about this headline is a that biker dudes are fans of Smash Mouth.

What if we could seal the place off and barricade them all in and let nature take its course? Then we wait for all of the survivors to emerge and we get more antibodies to put toward herd immunity and vaccines. According to them only a small amt of death will occur. Test it.

Imagine risking your fucking life for a novelty act 😑

Oh no

Who?

Smashmouth and massive crowd? Come on!

MY WORLD TOO THANKS TO YOU.

Ummmm fuck smashmouth

Wow just wow

cada um que se vire!

but did they play all ⭐️

Could you imagine dying to see smash mouth perform?

tragic in so many ways

All I see is

You’re a biker. Attending a Smash Mouth concert. In South Dakota. My guess is finding a helmet probably about as hard as finding a mask. Although if you’re a biker attending a Smash Mouth concert you should be covering all identifiable parts of your face with a mask justsaying

Super Girl 🦸🏾‍♀️🦸🏾‍♀️🦸🏾‍♀️ Kissme Burna x PeeRocky_bz ⚪ afrobeats afropop

Imagine risking peoples lives to watch smash mouth haha who the hell wants to go to see smash mouth outside of the year 2000

Really? And I’m having to wait a year to see Deftones? Haven’t seen them live since their amazing show at theryman So I call bullshit! deftones chinomoreno covid sucks!

Now talk about WOODSTOCK

First of all if you're a biker and you're really hurting to see smash mouth you deserve for someone to smash you in the mouth smashmouth

🔥E P I C🔥

Not cool

How bad does life need to be for you to risk it just to see Smash Mouth?

Again, who still books Smash Mouth? For anything.

Hey now, I don’t know what’s more depressing... being a fan of Smash Mouth and willing to die, or just being a fan of Smash Mouth.

Lie! Smash Mouth NEVER performed for a massive audience!

WHO?

COVIDIDIOTS 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

2020 keeps delivering headlines.

Fake News. There is no way Smash Mouth draws a 'massive crowd.'

You’re against this? Then I’m off to iTunes to buy some of their music!!!

..wow...exactly the same as the thousands of peaceful protesters, and also the thousands of rioters sacking cities across the nation every night. No masks for any of them either. People are nuts, aren’t they?

Let me get this straight. 1000's of bikers actually watched smashmouth? Well, fuck, I guess the world is really over.

Idiots

Just when I thought I couldn’t respect the Covidiots at Sturgis any less they risk their own lives and countless others to see *checks notes* Smash Mouth. I’m embarrassed for them.

You people do realize that 250,000 bikers weren't all in Sturgis without masks just to see Smash Mouth, don't you?

Somebody once told me...

not smash mouth 😥

I would not risk getting a cold to see them play, let alone covid

Nothing like a buncha wannabe bikers getting off to “all star” 🤣

Imagine risking your health and the health of your family for smash mouth

I didn't expect Smash Mouth of all bands to take the bold leap forward.

Are we surprised that people willing to pay for Smash Mouth aren’t wearing masks? Serious?

I’m more distracted by “Smash Mouth at a biker rally.”

They might as well be walkin on the sun

If everyone would lick windows everything would be OK

Smash mouth and bikers dont seems to go together. The only thing they have in common is their fondness for meth.

_TheAncientOne_ HeyNowYoureAnAssholeGetVID

Which just confirms, why I have never been a fan. 😆

We can only hope smash mouth get wiped out. They SUCK

Smash Mouth and Massive Crowd are two words I didn’t think I’d hear in the same sentence beyond 1998. 2020 strikes again I suppose.

Lead singer uses auto tune. So shitty music and a shitty artist 😂

This is the time for those wisdom to pray for those who have not.

It’s Sturgis. There are no laws. This should be shocking to nobody.

Good for them...they didnt FALL for the BS...

Almost every part of that sentence seems wrong.

Setlist please. It only gets better from here!

I guess you can’t boycott something no one listens too

'I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed'

Nothing cooler than a bunch of middle-aged hardcore bikers rocking out to smash mouth!

“A biker rally in South Dakota”, as if “Sturgis” isn’t a world famous event more known than both Smash Mouth and Rolling Stone.

Losers

Braindead.

I'm okay with losing smashmouth fans

🎶Hey now, you're infected🎶

To be fair, there were a lot of other shitty bands there too! TRAPTOFFICIAL Buckcherry revhortonheat nightranger etc

Smash Mouth and “massive crowd “ seems incongruous

He's getting kind of old does he want to die

🤣 Really, Smash Mouth?!? That’s the hill you want to die on...man, 2020 is so weird. 😂

Geez. And he kind of looks like someone in a high risk category.👀

Soon, we'll have the COVIDpalooza festival with Smash Mouth, Great White, and Vanilla Ice.

What happened to Sugar Ray?

They might as well be walking on the sun! 😬

Smashmouth? Nothing says 'Biker' like Smashmouth. LOL!

Great here comes another Fauci toung lashing!

Gee why haven't we been able to beat this virus?

and more Sturgis2020 stuff 😷😬

Well they do have a song “So Insane”, so there’s that 🙄

Um bikers don't listen to smash mouth w.t f.

They didn’t seem to be wearing masks. Upon closer inspection, they weren’t.

He’s lookin pretty dumb with that finger and thumb in that shape of an L on his forehead.

🎶Some-body from Smash Mouth, is gonna get the covid, They ain't the sharpest tools in the shed, They're looking kind of dumb, w/ covid they'll succumb, To viral overload on their deathbed.🎶 Might as well be walking on the sun?

dongstreth arzE timecrisis2000 rough stuff from Smash Mouth folks!

aka SturgisRally

Smash Mouth and massive crowd have never been in the same sentence

'Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed' Momentary flickers of self awareness sweep the crowd.

“Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.” Someone finish the punchline for me..

…fools

Who?

If there’s one thing I know, it’s hardcore bikers LOVE Smash Mouth.

People out here really risking their health for Smashmouth and Chainsmokers. I’m over it, all of these people deserve it.

🎶”....not the sharpest tool in the shed...”🎶

Smash Mouth sucks either way

I was stunned at “Smash Mouth performed for a massive crowd”

These people lack of common sense.. One dude said 'I'm an American and I'm not wearing a fucking mask!' Sometimes I hope karma happens.

In even bigger news: Smash Mouth Actually Drew A Crowd!

...and thousands roared in unison... “I AINT THE SHARPEST TOOOOL IN THE SHEE-EED.”

Was their finger and their thumb in the shape of an L on their forehead?

Man that would be a terrible way to go out, well how did they die? They caught covid at a smash mouth concert 🤦🏽‍♀️

Where else are they going to play? A Trump rally?

Well, their career is already dead, are they soon to follow?

You can’t fault the Guy for Rockin the Rona 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’mma let the Hood Know you can loot but don’t shoot 🔫 And Not catch the RONA But if you Rock Out like a Rockstar then RollingStone will give you the Boot 🥾 for not wearing a mask 😷 BlackLivesMatter BLM 🐃

Bikers and Smashmouth huh? 2020 doing it’s thing!

סקר: 1. סמאש מאות' 2. ניקלבק צייצי את הבחירה שלך

Good Fuck Masks TBH Besides I KNEW This Was Gonna Happen This Whole 'Mandatory Face Covering' Bullshit Wasnt Gonna Work

'Rrrrrraaagh!'

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Imagine the last band you see before you die is Smash Mouth . What an ending.

WHO is voluntarily going to see Smash Mouth perform? 😂😂😂

Seems like Ted Nugent and Kid Rock should be there. Why aren't they there? I thought those guys were supreme MAGAts? Are they afraid of the 'rona? 🤔 Instead I see .38 Special, Quiet Riot, Molly Hatchet, Night Ranger, etc. on the bill. lmao

I feel the lead was buried here considering it wasn't a biker rally, It was THE biker rally and it was still held! Good news. Gonna be great deals on Harley's in about 2 months...

Do they never think of whom they can spread it to? Selfish and stupid. So glad to live in Canada.

Some

Might be the most random thing I have seen on Twitter today.

They're not the smartest tools in the shed.....

Now do BlackLivesMatter protests all over the country for the past two months. The selective outrage is cute. Either we all need to wear masks and social distance or not. Which is it?

At least some people still believe in their freedom!

I played a ton of bike rallys 20 years ago. Most unappreciative crowds I ever played for. I just assumed they hated music. I guess I was right lol

Probably the only gig that Smashmouth had booked for the year.

i guess somebody didn't tell them there's a pandemic goin on

sounds like the worst concert ever

This just seems like Darwin doing his thing.

😷 WTSMF?!

Gonna be a bunch of cheap used bikes available in about 6 or 8 weeks.

not an All Star move

Did they at least throw bread at the singer?

I suppose if Smash Mouth caught Covid19 at Sturgis it would make them relevant again.......just not for music.🤷‍♂️

I did not realize that bikers were big on smash mouth.

Gotta love Darwinism.

If you’d risk your life to watch/listen to smashmouth , then you deserve to die.

I hope at least they played ‘All Star’ 5 to 7 times for all those people risking their lives

of course, this was okay, right?

If they didn’t wear masks did they at least wear earplugs?

Get the show on, get paid.

Love that quality journalism. 'Didn't seem to be wearing masks' Nice reporting.

Smash Mouth: Will Work for Death!

Think of it as a peaceful protest for music justice

Massive

Well, SmashMouth needs to take any job they can get. Boys gotta eat!

Funny how masks are so important when people aren’t holding BLM signs.

That's too bad. People are going to do what they want ☹️

Bad taste, bad ideas, bad attitude. A triple crown of dumb.

They all deserve one another

Trash. Only relevant because of 1 hit song.

'Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed'

Definitely worth dying lol.

Stupid people listening to stupid music win stupid prizes.

so like a BLM protest with the Shrek band?

They were looking kind of dumb with their finger and their thumb in the shape of an 'L' on their foreheads

Imagine risking your health to see fucking Smash Mouth, lmaoooooo.

You know you suck when you say yes to playing during a pandemic when no one else will. 😡

Smash Mouth, sucks

Was 3 Doors Down already booked?

Toucherandrich

R.I.P. Smashmouf

Bikers jam to Smashmouth? Who woulda thought

Smash Mouth are attracting massive crowds in 2020?

Good!

Y’all need to stop!!! OPEN UP THE COUNTRY NOW MASKS DONT WORK!!!!!

Well, he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...

Who?

These people are wrong about virtually everything and are also into horrible music.
