Pharrell’s ‘mountie’ hat wins Grammy for Web virality

Hey Pharrell, Arby’s wants its hat back!

Music maestro Pharrell Williams set Twitter buzzing Sunday night with his distracting Grammys headpiece – which had some comparing him to a Canadian Mountie & Twinkie the Kid.

Fast food joint Arby’s tweeted “hey Pharrell, can we have our hat back” to the star who looked like he was smuggling a dozen of their roast beef sandwiches under his mountainous millinery.

A twitter account for the quirky hat — actually a “Mountain” hat by Vivienne Westwood — sprung up almost immediately and attracted more than 5,000 followers.

But just one Smokey the Bear hat wasn’t enough for the musician. When Williams took the stage to perform with Stevie Wonder and Daft Punk, he donned another, similar sky high topper. The sequel featured a hatband and a more generous brim than the original.

Lady Gaga might have some competition in the crazy head wear department.
