On Tuesday morning, Ireland's most-loved manband, The FOGs (the Fear of Gods - Ronan O'Gara, Paul O'Connel & Alan Quinlan) made their much-awaited comeback.

They got the people of Ireland's blood pumping, heads bopping, and toes tapping, with their rework of George Ezra's song of the summer, Shotgun. 

Here it is (in case you missed it):

But the song also created an affect we hadn't anticipated, as it caused lots of confusion with our younger listeners, especially the 3-year-olds of Ireland. 

The Breakfast Show received a load of messages from parents who were being quizzed by their kids, as to why Shotgun sounded different. 

Two of those parents are mums Hazel in Meath, and Carol in Nenagh.

Hazel's daughter Robin is a huge Ezra fan, and was very puzzled on hearing The FOGs' version, angrily saying, "What is that? That's not George".

Carol's son Ruairí was completely stumped, asking, "why did he change his voice?".

So Iano gave them a call to find out more about #ShotgunGate

And The FOGs have even recorded a special message to apologise for the angst.
