[@taylorh4480]

this just goes to show how good they are because Taylor sounds rough here (he’s been sick and is recovering) and still sounds better than 98% of artist on the radio now

[@mariaxavieracaberte5482]

I totally agree

[@mattlantzy5093]

It also adds a really interesting gritty element to the song

[@MissAngie25]

Ahhh i knew something was off with his voice. I was thinking he normally sounds smoother than this.

[@lilduderob1]

Whats wrong with him?

[@chrishardee8207]

Difference between a popstar and a musician.. clearly struggling but using it in a way thats still effective... the vocal chords are muscles and are restricted when sick like that and u lose higher notes... boss job💪

[@davidziemann9653]

The fact they wrote these lyrics when they were pre-teens is amazing.

[@ForeverYoung20092]

Some were teens

[@anac1726]

This song never gets old - everytime I hear it it makes me so happy

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I'll bet they don't feel that way about it.

[@Robert-l3v6d]

I know these guys have got to be tired of this song. They've released so many good tunes over the years. Thing is even after thousands of times it still brings a smile to our lives.

[@jocelynhansen37]

I'm a 69 yr. old grandma and I love these guys!

[@jennysage6796]

Agree

[@Marichi-sp8lg]

I'm.76 and still love this song. I'm a grandmother

[@mariameredith5328]

I was 30 years old when Mmmbop came out and I loved it and really appreciated their talent. Last night I saw them in concert for the first time (I felt like the oldest one in the audience btw), but they blew me away. What a joyous event and they are so great.

[@dalew5832]

You know, how many times these guys have sang this song, and still, pour their heart into it. Just fantastic. True musicians.

[@fishingmaster99]

All musicians should pour their hesrt and HAVE TALENT! today is just taking anybody that looks good and can kind of sing which is most people. We need real skills

[@maxine-x4x]

'..have _sung_ ..'

[@KelloggsLicensingDepartment]

They said its put their whole family through college, so they are always happy to play it. Gratitude is lost on most artists, not these legends though.

[@amandas.4127]

Amazing how I cannot get sick of this song. It’s magic when they perform it.

[@vickymunro7069]

@Amanda S Same 💕

[@suzannejane1035]

Much respect to them that they don't seem to get sick of it. I love this song.

[@susantidad1038]

You need help

[@franciscoperezespinoza323]

OMFG! This is a good video to show new generations how to sing even when you’re sick or just recovering if you were ill. Hansons were part of my Childhood in Chile, in a time when artists did not have the technology to fake their voices like many “singers” do nowadays, maybe we were the “Last generation” that could appreciate talent at its finest and natural state and to think that it’s a terrible thing when studying the music industry (sorry for my English, Spanish is my first language, I hope you could understand my point).

[@ooootypie6033]

Here I am 11months later watching this over and over! Love at 1.46 when Zac tells Taylor to keep going.

[@TheIceyeddy]

I was 11 when this song came out in 1997. I bought it on cassette and listened to it repeatedly on my stereo and drove my parents crazy lol! I'm 36 now and still listening to it! Great song and deep lyrics.

[@jackmiller7324]

I didnt born in 1997

[@rachaelgordon7686]

Me too and I am 40 now. Still love hearing Hanson sing. I am not morning person and would not sound this awesome. They could of said No. But did it anyway. Well done Tay you are a trooper!! Love you 🤟

[@markoccleshaw14]

Congrats guys on somehow sustaining this. As a father of daughters in the 90's, I can recall EVERY time Mmbop would come on the car radio, my little girls insisted I join them in singing this song. My most vivid recollection(?) Much easier for two little girls to sing those harmonies than their father. I was a gamer though and I did my part. Thanks for memories. Best wishes for continued success!

[@veronicageorge7820]

So sweet! ❤

[@kazza5599]

Their harmonies are amazing. True talent!!

[@adamfisher8377]

They’ve been singing the same song for 30 years! They should be good at it by now.

[@amandastrang1546]

Love them I'm 54 now,this song is so upbeat n makes me feel younger

[@carlomarx1246]

their voices are like a fine wine.

[@stephenhawk8384]

Pop perfection is magical. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does it is immortal.

[@kayla7562]

These guys were my everything. My first cassette tape I ever owned. 90s kids had so many iconic moments. 🙌🏼

[@thevinylrant]

I’m kind of ashamed to say that this was probably the first tape cassette I owned also.

[@bunnygirlmantra]

Same!!

[@bunnygirlmantra]

@@thevinylrant ashamed for what? We were lucky to be there back then

[@fishingmaster99]

80s kids not 90s

[@CoalMiner379]

Born in 87 and I still say the 90s was the absolute best times growing up

[@theboyjames3065]

Taylor's voice is worn out bless him. Been touring loads lately. I love how instinctive they are as a family and a band with the microphone stand issue 😁 Really great live and those harmonies are insane!!!

[@Toaster-in-the-park]

Nostalgia, good times! Hated the song when I was a kid, now I listen to it to rewind for a couple of minutes. Time flies.

[@chap160]

Every time I hear this song I’m taken back to a happy time in my childhood. Even in my 40’s I’ll sing and dance around with my best mate without a care!

[@sventextor1309]

Pure pop gold. Even when this song was released it had a very 70's Partridge Family vibe and would have sat nice and cosy on the charts alongside The Jacksons etc. The brothers made a pop classic and great they still perfoming together. Rock on Hanson!

[@gamerxandy1701]

I'm 44 and these guys are still awesome

[@markstephenson3358]

From a young boy group to an uncle group Many years have passed, and now they have become boys and uncles, and their voices have become uncles' voices.

[@my-king]

Wow. I was really into this band. Very underrated. This song made them but also pigeonholed them. So nice to see them again.

[@taylorh4480]

They have continued making records since 1994. Glad you’re finally turning back into them but they’ve made more money as an independent band and they did when they had a major label record deal. so much so they’ve become one of the most lucrative independent bands in America. I would highly recommend checking into the records that they’ve made between 2007 and now

[@tech_knowledgy]

good to see thes guys are healthy, well and still singing. my 5 year old loves this song and calls it daddys song she knows to play this song when its my turn to play a song on spotify man time flys. I was a kid when this song came out and now I am a father.

[@KINGSOMALIA]

I think Isaac is really underappreciated, his bit at the end is my fav bit

[@anneominous7172]

His baritone harmonies in the studio version ("Which flower's gonna grow? Is it gonna be a daisy or a rose?") are literally what makes the song for me.

[@garythomason5571]

I'm a 39 year old man I've been listening to these boys since middle of nowhere and 3 car garage if you know you know

[@garythomason5571]

Oh and don't forget snowed in

[@marcegayoso]

Me tooo

[@bradleymitchell3808]

Why wouldn’t we know?…

[@fridz66]

Love the studio version. Also love this adult version of this classic.

[@sarahdell4042]

I feel so bad for them! Having to sing this song endless times 🙃

[@bradleymitchell3808]

It made them millions upon millions? Why would you feel bad for them?

[@stephaniejean7324]

People do assume that in interviews but they’ve said many times that they enjoy it, it’s their creation that they’re proud of and they’ve gotten the opportunity to nurture it in many ways throughout the years.

[@ShinySmack]

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction enters the chat…

[@BlackLabel67]

His voice is even better now! :D

[@Ejma8210]

I love this song, the guys are ageless!

[@ruolov1]

When we hit our 30s, we tend to do lower notes and sometimes put out our raspy voices. It still sounds good, but we all are getting older. Props to them and their fanbase. Still a great song!

[@chiphobby2443]

Well Im 32 and a songwriter and not a great singer to begin with but Ive noticed those things as well so that explains alot. Thanks for that info. 😉

[@AssPhyxiation]

Their ballz dropped. Puberty isn’t a social construct.

[@bradjones5132]

Best KZbin notification ever 😂

[@roxannerobinson9173]

Its as if ive rewinded my life by like 26yrs and im in my sitting room bouncing about to hanson on TOTP when my bedroom was plastered in hanson, bsb & nsync posters 😂❤ they still look and sound soooo good!

[@Benwrex]

They’ve improved so much with time. This is better than the original

[@michaelbala4460]

Totally agree. Can't they release this version as a single? Lol.

[@MrDMc1981]

they've had another 25 years since this was released! 👍

[@imaginationkids1480]

Listen to the version of it from their Strong Theory album

[@Honmatres]

These boys like a fine wine

[@richarddawson8479]

Brilliant lads, love the sync, touch of the elbow for the last mmmmbop ❤

[@aem9786]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING….. THANK YOU ❤

[@bunnygirlmantra]

I'll never forget buying their album in 97. I was just a kid. Saw them live as a teenager. Still love them until this day. Taylor especially impresses me now as he has been able to sound very well after all these years.

[@thefabulousthomasj]

Thank you, Nicole!!!

[@chrishannon8187]

Still a brilliant song I bought it when I was in my early 20s the band sound and look great. Chris , Birmingham

[@Eugene_Connor]

They still sound really good!

[@millie_xxo]

I had the single of mmmbop on tape and played it so much in the summer of 1997 that it snapped! 🤣❤️

[@mirmir9806]

The song has aged like fine wine.

[@alan380]

The first time I heard this song, I knew it would be a huge hit. I have. huge admiration for these boys. I'm sure the slings and arrows were numerous as they grew up. The song sounds better with age as their voices have matured. It's hard to believe they can still get as high as they do at their age. I love that they still make music together.

[@met0701]

They still sound fantastic.

[@marie19854]

Look up their last 5 albums over 25 years non stop. Very underrated.

[@bighouse1695]

They are still magical with their harmonies

[@bradleymitchell3808]

They’ve been together like 30 years…what did you expect?

[@CozumelTy]

Their adult voices sound so good!

[@sammea2221]

Fabulous. A great song lasts forever!

[@kilzoldyck5114]

Timeless!

[@brendaesparza2090]

Nice to remember, still got it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊

[@marie19854]

Check out all their albums. Awesome. I love Shout it out , Anthem and of course String Theory. Really all of them lol.

[@KALTEXZPNG]

This song brings back good memories❤️🔥

[@cozyslor]

Between shows and rehearsals I'll bet they have performed this song 10,000-15,000 times. Maybe more. I don't think they ever tire of it and nor should they.

[@takedownspecialist1767]

My childhood coming back to life 🥺

[@andresramp]

the harmony is still there ... very good guys!

[@jennsteeves295]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HANSON!!!!! favourite band since 1997!

[@UpstateVarmageddon]

They sound so much better than 20 years crazy this was a good set

[@melissamurray8307]

They are so talented.❤

[@flamitaz]

Shoot!! Still sound good!!! Even without warming up, sound better than MOST of todays "artists"! I'll go to their concerts before any of "today's artists"!

[@itzxm1k347]

It's so sad but happy to see this. We all get old guys 😢

[@jenniferhoffman2715]

this song never gets old I saw hanson in concert back on 1995

[@stargirl87x]

You're so lucky I would have given my soul to see them back then I was obsessed

[@andreaarana9144]

Mi adolescencia! Que lindo escucharlos

[@ReverendBrown.]

Thongs change scent from one end to the other. Knowledge is power. God bless

[@madycat71]

I was 25 when this was released and I was dancing to this song like I was 15teen 🤩😍😁

[@PAULPINBALL]

Beautiful!

[@treblenote2]

It's great to see/hear these fellas.. their harmonies are FABulouS! .. Glad they didn't get destroyed with drugs etc

[@tommytube62]

Beautiful, Perfect

Taylor is belting it out inspite of being sick. ❤

[@КарандашиК-т7д]

Привет. Обожаю братьев и этот хит!!!! Вспоминаю подростковый период, я из бывшего СНГ!!!! Спасибо Hanson's...

[@jackiemcevoy8030]

It's like a frozen in time priceless jewel for me because this song was my childhood

[@luvbonjovi4ever]

I love these guys, too and I’m 56! ❤😊

[@jmart1393]

Its amazing how you can just pop out a major song at such a young age and then have nothing else for the entire career. Let's be real they are great vocalists but are the epitome of one hit wonders.

[@davidziemann9653]

Dude, I used to think that as well but you're wrong. They have a bunch of really really good songs. You need to check some more of them. They have a lot of songs I prefer over Mmmmbop.

[@followurheart1112]

I love this tune, loop it 30❤

[@stargirl87x]

I'm still convinced me and Taylor will be together one day. I knew it since I was 10 with their posters plastering my walls

[@TheConorsmithusa]

Really good. Sounds even better than the original I loved as a kid in '97

[@juliechildress8905]

They get better with age and so does their music. 🎶🎶

[@Millennial_Mike]

Superb performance.

[@simonchristie4117]

awesome

[@survivrs]

Taylor sounds like he might be battling a sore throat or a mild case of flu. He doesn't usually seem to have to use so much falsetto on those high notes. I mean NO disrespect before anyone wants to argue, I love this song as much as the day I first heard it on the radio. I was 38 at the time with my own 2 boys growing up. Last night I showed the original video to my 7yo granddaughter and she thought it sounded "catchy". Hopefully she will think about that for awhile longer and want to hear it again. I'm hoping.

[@karimcm5914]

Mi infancia 😭 se remonta a esta canción... Envejeciendo junto a mis ídolos 🙌

[@2ndestate]

The high energy of youth can't be duplicated but I loved the song and still do. Let's get Donny Osmand to do go away little girl again. That would be a hoot.

[@imaginationkids1480]

I mean it is different when you are 38 instead of 14 but I just saw them in concert and they were still jumping around the stage and rocking with lots of energy. Some of their newest songs have a real 80's rock vibe going on.

[@i.alicaro4005]

Maravillosos!!!!

Hi ! I like this song! Best wishes from Germany 🌹
