[@stephaniel2850]

It's silly that, of all the bubblegum '90s songs, this (and Hanson in general as a band) is the one everyone decided it was "cool" to hate on... like, jeez, Taylor wrote the lyrics for the verses (which are about the fleeting nature of life and holding on to the things that matter most to you) when he was all of 11 or 12 years old, and they'd had the idea for the chorus even years before that! If it was a song written by adults specifically to be sung by kids to sound "cutesy", sure, then I could maybe get the hate, but it was genuinely three young kids who were inspired by early rock 'n' roll, motown, and doowop, being really talented and making their own music... nothing at all worth mocking about that! And obviously they only got better and better over time, but it's not even like MMMBop *is* a bad song... the Middle of Nowhere version was honestly overproduced imo, but this is the original version they recorded independently in 1996, and it's beautiful and very Jackson 5-esque :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF60g2hqrc-hbtE

Hanson is the same group that played in your String Theory video, the youngest boy was still playing drums but singing lead. Twenty one years apart. There brothers from Oklahoma. That was their catchiest song. Played as infinitum on the radio and VH-1, though not their best song.

[@adrianhollow8352]

You need to read the lyrics. This is actually a fairly deep song. They were kids writing and producing their own music...three brothers...very talented.

[@GroovingPict]

man, how can you have been alive in the 90s and not heard Mmmbop :p

[@ac9062]

If you grew up in the 90s, even if you were a hard core death metal fan, you know this song and you like it.

[@paxonearth]

This song is 22 years old. They were young teens from my neck of the woods- Oklahoma. It's a silly, but very catchy pop tune by three very talented kids.

[@AhsimNreiziev]

As far as I can tell, the lyrics of this song are about how there might be people who pretend they care about you, but then when you get older (and start losing your hair....), they disappear in a flash. Or, as the Hanson boys put it, in an mmm-bop. And it's also about how you can never really tell beforehand who will be the people who stick around, and who will be the people where the relationship just withers and dies. I believe that this is also what "plant a rose, plant a bunch and find out which one grows, it's a secret no one knows" was about: the roses are friendships, and no one knows the secret of which friendships will continue to grow until the end, and which ones will just refuse to keep growing at some point or another. Really, though, the main point of this song is to not think about the lyrics too much and just have fun listening to a song. Just for a change, you know?

[@EgbertWilliams]

Heh. The girl singing lead is now the father of seven kids.

[@r.h.3084]

Look at the lyrics. There's more to it than people give it credit for.

[@lethiapage4767]

The whole thing is more than just a silly pop song. Really great harmonies and let's remember at the time they were children. They did a really good job...that hook is ridiculous just like a pop song should be. I think they also used to do bits of it without heir instruments during interviews and appearances which is always more telling of talent. No hiding.

[@vwestlife]

But they mumble their way through most of the song so badly that it's very difficult to understand what they're actually singing.

[@r.h.3084]

I agree. I had to read them before I understood a lot of it. But, I have to do that with a lot of groups lol.

[@bridgetbeebe9802]

I thought 5he same way you did for a long time, until I looked at the lyrics, and reconsidered. The song has a lot more substance if you read the lyrics.

[@stephaniel2850]

This! I get that enunciation isn't necessarily Taylor's strongest suite haha (though I do think he's gotten better with it over the years), but still, once you look up the lyrics, it's very easy to understand what the song is about, and also they're pretty easy to hear correctly once you've read them.

[@capismama2922]

I became a fan with this song and I'm STILL a fan...and I'm in my 60's. In case you missed the actual message of the song: It's about how fast time goes by; how things change in a second...in the time it takes to say MMMMBOP......the thing/moment is gone. Oh yeah...Taylor (the singer) is a guy.

[@sucomp]

I am in my 50s have seen them play probably 15-20 times, have met them with my son, sent them gifts that I got handwritten thank you notes about from their wives, and absolutely still love them. Check out more songs, I say something from GREAT DIVIDE or UNDERNEATH would be good. BEEN THERE BEFORE IS a GREAT SONG

[@laurabedin1121]

It's just a fun song by 3 good kids! They grew up to become fine young men, successful..no substance abuse, etc and still perform occasionally.

[@deboEbo32]

"The girl can sing!"....I nearly died at that hahaha. They are a mid 90's classic. I have the same exact birth date as the drummer (nope, wasn't a slightly obsessed fan lol), and just know, he was 12 in this. That's what's awesome, looking back now. Dude can play! I have other favorites of theirs that I'd suggest, but won't unless asked. Scratch that...it's sad, but "Yearbook" is amazing. Deeply sad, but equally amazing.

Mate, I think you might be surprised where this little group is now. They are all parents and all very successful. And yes, they still perform MMbop at their show but not always.

[@dess8287]

These kids always got picked on because they were commercial, but the song is so dang catchy( chrous wise). By the way they're three brothers the lead singer's name is Taylor. The song was actually a background part to a different song. As they tried to develop the song they were inspired to be like their heroes *The Beach Boys* trying to be Doo-Wop, well they tried anyway. This song did leave a bad taste in some people's ears and they weren't really explored to see if they had true potential ( I myself unfortunately were one of the people that quickly dismissed them). Oh by the way the song is about holding to things that really matters in life. Looking forward for your next reaction as always 🙂!

[@sucomp]

You seriously have NEVER heard this song before it was everywhere in late 90's. This is the little kid version of the same guys you said you liked the String Theory Sirens Call song! Zach the drummer, is the youngest person to be nominated for a Grammy when he was 12!

[@karenmaurer9993]

Lol! Your reaction was priceless! So, the Hanson "brothers" singing this song were the ones all grown up, singing the Siren Call song from their "String Theory" album / performance with the orchestra that you previously reviewed! :) Also, the youngest one on the drums, who now has dark hair, was the one singing that song, and still plays the drums! He isn't usually the main singer, btw. The others play guitar (Issac) and piano/keyboards ( Taylor). This song was their first big hit in the 90's. They've been making music for over 25 years. I appreciate the variety of music you review!

[@fly3po1]

They still do this song when they tour. They sound better now then they did when they were younger, but definitely talented and love how they have not broken up for over 30+ years....

[@TheOriginalBeachPossumPage]

This is a song I didn't want to like back when it first came out because everyone liked it and almost everyone was singing it. I actually wound up really liking it and years later now I look back on that time with good memories and a good feeling with this song.

[@sujugothkitten]

Lol many people have made that mistake about the lead singer (Taylor or Jordan Taylor Hanson) actually all of them 😂 but Taylor the most. This was when Taylor was 14, the oldest, Isaac (guitarist) was16, and the youngest Zac (drums) was 11. When they started recording the album this somg is from Taylor's voice had started changing, you can hear his voice crack in mmmbop a couple time. By the end of the album His voice is noticably lower by the end of the album. What made me a fan was the fact that they write and compose their own music and also produce themselves and have their own label called 3CG. They also now make a beer called MMMHops. You dont hear much about them anymore, they are all married with kids (BIG family), the brothers are still a band and make music and tour but they are more indie artists now. Kinda one of those you have to be a die hard fan to know what they are up to.

As you can see, the video is irrelevant to the lyrics of the song. However, 'MmmBop' is one of the greatest songs ever written. It's more than a catchy tune. It has a deep, meaningful, and matured lyrics.

Hanson’s my favorite band and has been my favorite and since I was 10. They’re still around doing there thing. This is the same band that did string theory. They’re three boys. They were 10, 14 and 17 playing music and and singing and writing their own music. The song is about holding on to relationships that matter the people who are there for you because in the end that’s all the matters when you’re older. It’s actually way deeper. They’re incredible artists. You should listen to how their music evolved.

[@agirlnamedchuck]

This video is like “welcome to the 90’s”. Haha 😂 I LOVED Hanson back then and I still do. MMMBop will always be one of my favorite songs. It started something in me. MMMBop is about time and not taking it for granted. I love the message.

[@wendymariespeener5865]

They are brothers. The lead singer is a boy. The lead singer is Taylor Hanson, the older boy is Issac Hanson and the drummer is Zach Hanson. They did very well and was very popular. Mmmbop is just a random collage of things. They have lots of other songs that are much better. Listen to Weird by them and Yearbook, and listen to Where’s the Love by them. Their album Middle of nowhere is fantastic and yes they are bubble gum pop. They have grown into fantastic young men. All married with kids now and still making music.

[@ashleecampbell4418]

They also have their own beer company now and host the Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival. It's people coming together one summer weekend with drinks from lots of vendors, and great live music. Held in their hometown of Tulsa. I have been more than once. It's a good time!

I found it baffling you didn't relate them to the group you just reacted to on string theory. Mmmboo sounds on first listen as nonsense. It's meaning is actually very deep. Cherish your friends and loved ones for in an instance they may be gone. Does this not mean more in 2020 than it did in 1997.

November 18, 1997 Grapevine Mills Mall held a grand opening concert featuring Hanson. The older one's birthday is Nov 17 so we were all singing happy birthday. My cousin should to them "it's her birthday today!" And pointed to me. They said happy birthday to me. I was 10 and this was huge to me! .... Three years later I was at a concert of theirs at Six Flags and I screamed so loud at them between songs that Taylor (lead singer) looked up startled. Good times.

[@laraschiwago9928]

I don't hold it against you that you thought they were girls (hm... they were a bit metrosexual - esp Tay - before that word even existed and before it got trendy and cool). They got a lot of s*** bc of it (for whatever reason), esp for their long hair. Which is kinda funny bc Kurt Cobain (who died just 3 years before they got famous) looked like an older version of Tay, Silverchair's Daniel Jones was kinda the same type of guy. I love Tay, his current look (more Cali surfer boy style, just a bit more rugged) is great (he was even still handsone during his awful Hipster beard phase). But I will never forget running into a 20-ish Tay (around 2004) in the cathedral in Cologne. He still had his long, (naturally) blond hair then. He was wearing it in a messy ponytail, with strands of his hair falling into his face. Tay stood in that dark cathedral, right in front of tons of huge lit candles. It sounds kitschy but he looked like an angel. I was totally stunned (although I had attended a few of their concerts already and had met him before), he just looked... flawlessly handsome. He is one of the most talented pianists/keyboarders and musicians I know, he renders me speechless every single time when I see them live. I just adore that guy...

This was Hanson's (3 brothers) breakthrough hit single (they wrote that song by themselves btw, like they did with almost every one of their songs - and even with the few exceptions they always were at least co-writing them) in 1997. That song (a classic 90ies Pop song and super catchy at that) was #1 in the Billboard and other charts for weeks - in the US and around the world. The song and their debut album got them 2 Grammy nominations. Until this day Zac Hanson (who was 12 then) holds the record for youngest songwriter ever nominated for a Grammy (second is Michael Jackson I think). MMMBop actually has a really deep meaning. It's about real friendship (and loyality). And how hard it is to see who you can really count on, who is a real (lifetime) friend, staying with you and being at your side even during the worst times in your life and in your darkest hour (and even when you are getting old). And who is just a good-weather-"friend" - who will be gone in the blink of an eye (in an MMMBop) as soon as it gets a bit rocky. The guys are fantastic, still singing - with absolutely perfect harmonies - and performing 25 years later. Music is their life, their passion, it's in their blood - the grew up with lots of Motown songs that influenced them a lot. They now have their own record company and studio. Their old record company tried to put them into a box, trying to pressure them to go fully mainstream - or better: commercial (concentrating on classic generic Pop music only) - and to alter their music (to make it superficial and to sound exactly like every other 90ies boyband) so they could cater to a huge mainstream crowd. For money making purposes only, they only saw them as cash cows and tried to sell them out (talking all theie creative freedom from them). The guys didn't have any of it, they didn't give in. But they were forced to go indie at a very young age, taking one of the greatest risks for any musician. And they suceeded thanks to their loyal fanbase that is still there 25 years later. You should listen to their acoustic live version of MMMBop (from 2016 od 2017 I think). It's a bit more mature, a little less pop-ish. But still absolutely amazing.
