Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"

[@adamvitovskyfilms]

Even my table is vibrating, when he sings "mmmmmmm"

[@deanphillipsmusic]

When this track was released back in 1993 , it took about 2 years to get the song out of my head. Now I accidentally stumble upon it 30 years later and it is stuck in my head again - I don't think I will ever shake it off this time. I'm also pretty sure that the lead singer of this track was indirectly responsible for spawning the large sideburns fashion between 1993-95 because people with long sideburns kept cropping up everywhere at the same time.

[@JMarsh-ml5ht]

A timeless song that always brings an emotional response

[@jemntertainment]

Absolutely Incredible live performance.

I'am from Hungary, but the Crash Test Dummies was a best team in the world.

[@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist]

Love, love, love his voice!

[@wraithofangels7983]

It's crazy cause this song would always make me tear up but I never knew why? Reading comments it's nice to read others feel the same. Maybe it's simply his voice - beautiful

[@yuppyhater]

This song must hold great meaning to this guy to have such emotion behind his look when singing it. It clearly hurts him to do so as the backup singer can attest too at the end by looking at him. Thank you uploader :)

[@simond7713]

just discovered this version as of today. On the words (cause) "one kid" (had it worse than that) Brad raises his finger and on the church part he referes to the pentecostal movement. So he was the boy, who had it "worse than that".

[@smilinachya]

yuppyhater - I wonder if he WAS that "one kid" or if he just has an aversion for Christianity and wants to paint "Pentecostals" in this light. That's unfortunate if that's the case because in 28 years in Pentecostal churches I've never seen no "shaking" or "lurching all over the church floor." 😁. Still like the song though, believe it or not!

[@smilinachya]

Ellen seems like such a sweetheart.

"Pentecostal." Oh my god, I lost it. XDDDD

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz2449]

What Pentecostal?

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz2449 Pentecostal is a branch of fundamental Christianity that is known for "speaking in tongues" (gibberish that is supposedly the "spirit" speaking through them) and flailing their bodies from possession by the spirit. Even other fundamentalists roll their eyes at them...

he sounds like johnny cash actually. This song is about a boy who gets a shock or fright, his hair turns white, the girl has birthmarks and cant explain them, shes always had them, and the last verse is about a boy being forced into a doctrine he doesn't understand.

[@TheHayabusa09]

The sad reality that you'll forever be that guy with the 'hmmm, hmmm' song..That no-one knows or will try to.

Again Ballad-style - yes. Excellent - Love this song both ways - Group and Ballad. This is one of the best, most well written song/poetry/musical numbers ever. Absolutely - no question. The guitarist is excellent for the occasion as well.

[@fgbowen]

oh - but I see it is group style here - my bad, but still - Excellent - love this song. I'm a Christian, and I'm here to tell you the Holy Spirit is all for this song - It's totally like a PARABLE this song.

[@RoseJackson79]

damn I just love this man's voice and the fact that he is just flat out 'sexy' as hell :)

[@bradgoldman4982]

His voice, according to him, on a late night talk show interview (I can't remember which one, but it was recent as of this post), comes from smoking and drinking 'neat' whisky from a really young age, but giving up the smoking after a number of years. It does, at least, explain why he only holds a note for a second or two.

[@ynoti4521]

I have tried to understand inspiration of this sort. This is not personified. But this is god. The good. Not a person. More like a way. A wavelength. Love. Truth that frees from lies and slavery. A choice but not a chosen being. Anyone can become this. Those which can demonstrate this are happy. They inspire that. You certainly do that. Grats! Thanks. Much respect.

They sound really heavy loaded with background, even when he sings it here it looks somehow intense and emotional.
