Super Mash Bros. (clever) are scientifically proven to get your booty movin’ – allegedly. A friend dared them to make mash-ups with the old ‘you won’t’ reverse psychology trick and well it worked to their benefit. Thousands of fans later and opening up for Nelly, here we are talking about them in a blog.
They look for the most recognizable songs in an attempt to have people say, ‘oh sh*t, it’s that song!’ Ethan of the duo said, ‘We try to emulate the feeling where Leo and Rose are on the ship, and it’s really cheesy, but you love it.’
