I used to really dislike this song when I was a teenager, but now as an adult, I love the way they harmonize, and this version of the song is so enjoyable
I’m 42, this was my generation. I pretended like I hated it to be cool. Now as a grown man I can admit this song is dope!! Better than 100% of anything released now. Great tune from some talented guys!!
We had to hate it. I was 12 and was a Nirvana/Green Day/Pumpkins fan. But at 38 I can look back on it fondly and legitimately say it was a classic and that it’s better and more heartfelt than 99% of the songs today 🙌🏻
What a great attitude to have about their signature song. It served them well, and people still enjoy it. It's a win for everyone. And they sound amazing!
Melissa Coad Guys let 's watch their vids everyday before March 14 -- Taylor's bday --All their vids and live Performances -- I love them soo much and it hurts to not see them live here bec, i was in Spain... Thumbs up ..... Help me out guys --- Thumbs up let's mmboppin this together - flood , share
PrincessKLS So true. I think the song has more meaning now that they ( and their original fans) are grown with families and kids. Hold on to the people and moments that matter because in an mmmbop, they are gone:(
Actually, this is the original tempo (slower tempo). Hanson composed 'MmmBop' when they were just at the age of 11, 9, and 6. The producers suggested to make it to a more upbeat tempo, which was released worldwide in 1997.
Me to ill be 37 soon i remember singing this in the mirror on the weekends when my parents were at work. Brings back memories and also makes me really see how fast time goes by.
I like how they're still more than happy to perform this song. Instead of trying to move away from the song that made them famous when they were kids, they're still very proud to embrace it.
Love it enough that they named their beer, their grown up jobs, MMMHops ! LOL How great is that? They are still laughing all the way to the bank, with the same song that made a lot of people hate them ! Epic !
@hhhk20 4 top 20 Billboard albums 8 top 40 albums Had 8 top 40 singles in multiple countries around the world. Making a ton of money realsing these albums on their own label now. Fans all over the world. Don't sound like a "one hit wonder" to me.
It's also possible the song means more to them as they get older.... e.g. "You have so many relationships in this life" "Only one or two will last" That sounds true when you're young, but it resonants more as you get older. You actually live it.
Welllll I feel old lol at least they embrace there song unlike most bands that hate there songs that made them the big bucks like flock of seagulls he hates that song & I ran or nirvana who hated to play smells like teen Spirit when Kurt was alive 🤷🏻♂️ mehhh
@@SpiralSlopes it’s not rare for people to stop working on their voices. The voice is a muscle, and just like if you stop exercising your body, you can lose that muscle. A lot of singers don’t exercise the voice and end up not sounding that same, that’s why I said this
“You have so many relationships in this life; Only one or two will last. You go through all the pain and strife, Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast. Oh, so hold on the ones who really care, In the end they'll be the only ones there. And when you get old and start losing your hair; Can you tell me who will still care.. Can you tell me who will still care?” Still amazes me every time I hear Mmmbop that the Hanson brothers wrote such deep lyrics at 16, 13 & 11
People can laugh or take the piss all they like but this song took them all around the world!!! And the harmonies are fuckin crazy, only brothers can sound like this...brilliant version of the song
Very much disliked Hanson, and wasn't a fan of the original version, but this version sounds great. And I respect that you unashamedly speak the truth, Truth.
Having fame and money at a young age, these kids miraculously grew up to be normal, intelligent and talented individuals minus drugs and scandals. Kudos to the parents!
Hanson was the very first band I ever got into as a child in 1997. The drummer is only 2 years older than me and he inspired to me to believe that I could be like him. I'm a 33 year old man now and I don't care if the whole world knows how much I loved Hanson.
They’re INCREDIBLE! This gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I saw them play in 2018 and they were insanely good. Ten year old me was peeing her pants lol
I'm a 51 year old rock guitar player who has always had a soft side for pop songs. Ear worms of songs make them classics. These guys always had immense talent despite the bubble gum packaging. Their harmonies are impeccable.
People made fun of these guys but honestly, could those people who made fun sing and harmonize like that? What was their talent? Not a damn thing. These guys are very talented and glad to se they still entertain. They are very good at that.
no kidding. these three were always incredibly talented. and they’re not full of themselves at all. as a professional musician myself, i have the utmost respect for them. maybe i’ll be that good someday. :)
They lacked credibility because were very young, siblings and all had identical long hair. If a middle aged man with a crap voice had written those verses they would be called a poet.
I am so proud that they didn't turn into washed out teen stars!! Looks like they stayed healthy and level headed through all the money and fame. Good to see :)
They were the 90s equivalent to Bieber, girls loved em and guys hated them. But now I've grown into a man I can see there is a huge musical difference in comparison. They are actually talented...
Hear hear! I'm 35, and I have to tell you, once I hit my 30s, my music taste just kinda exploded. I am going back to old favorites (like Hanson!!!), but finding new things, and it is wonderful! No more feeling like I have to fit in and like what everyone else likes.
Unlike so many of the pop "artists" manufactured and marketed primarily for consumption by teenage girls, Hanson have always been a real rock 'n' roll band who play their own instruments and write their own original songs. Despite having continued to tour and release fantastic albums over the years since their "Mmmbop" days, the band does not receive as much exposure and publicity as they once did and still rightfully deserve because in order to maintain their artistic integrity they decided to part ways with the major record labels in the early 2000's. I am an adult male rock music fanatic (classic/indie/modern/progressive), and I am not embarrassed to admit that I have gone to see them perform live in concert multiple times since 2003. Every tour, they have consistently put on a great live show.
This song hits different hearing it at 31 with no wife no kids & just working a job to pay bills. Sometimes I feel like I’m just wasting time but hey all I can do is push forward right. Still a dope song 🙃
Say what you want but these brothers are pure talent. You won’t find a better harmony than with siblings. Not one note out of tune and you can’t argue this kind of Talent. Sounds perfect from start to finish..
@@ljuben5738I think the point of saying "say what you want" is due to the fact that most people who genuinely enjoyed them when they were popular were often made fun of. Now that we are all adults, people are finally talking about how talented they are and how of course they are why would anyone say otherwise?? You just weren't there. Same thing with James Blunt, who is scarily talented yet I remember countless times and people who bullied others or the singer himself. 2020 vision is easy to say "no one is disagreeing". But yeah actually, humans suck lol.
From many of the ignorant comments here, apparently the real "secret no one knows" is that Hanson has continued making consistently good music and giving great live performances during the past 20 years. To find out what most of you have been missing, check out the Hanson studio albums "This Time Around," "Underneath," "The Walk" and "Shout It Out."
Daniel Ponce And many more -- I hope i was in Jamaica this year with them on their Back to the Island 2017 tour -- im gonna wait and really save for my VIP ticket to see them live in 2018 - Like their page guys Hanson on Facebook / Twitter
I heard the title song of This Time Around when it was first out, and I thought, “OMG, they sound like Three Dog Night!” I wish Hanson would cover a 3DN song like Pieces of April or Out In The Country.
No wonder everyone who listened to this when it first came out, immediately had better mental health! The words slap, the tume slaps, and their harmonies slap! I'm an almost 38 year old woman and I remember throughout the years having bad mental health times and I'd think of this sing and blast it on repeat while driving and things didnt seem so bad when I got back home.
@@GinEric84 By your logic, every member in a band that didn't write a song is just and entertainer. Same with pianists that play off of sheet music then.
Maybe not the same artist, but most of the popular versions of songs are covers, and most songs have lots of recordings before we get “the one” everyone knows and loves. Including this song, the demo is very nice too.
I'm so glad I came across a short clip of this today on my Instagram. Incredible they wrote this song as young teenagers. They were way ahead of their time.
I'm glad that "The Masked Singer" might get these very talented men the re-exposure they deserve. Of course MMMBop was sticky sweet bubblegum, but if anyone took a second back in '96 to look a little deeper, you would realize that they have a lot more in common with the Jackson 5 and the Beatles than Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees. I've always been on the lookout for hooks and harmonies, and even though I'm more of a metal guy, I would stand tall in front of my fellow rivet heads and tell them that talent is talent, and they need to open their eyes. Proud fan in my mid 40's. Go Russian Dolls... get out there, slay the rest of the posers and win this thing.
I'm teary eyed watching/listening to this, takes me back to summer of 97 - I was 12, hanging around my estate with all my friends in the sunshine with not a care in the world, I posted this to my Facebook and tagged them - I wish I could go back for just one day 😥
Outstanding. I am 63 and I still groove to Hanson. MMMBop still gets me going. Love these boys, and have watched them grown from kids into men who really love each other.
SAME! I'm 37 and i still rock everything 90's as 99% of music today is cookie cutter trash. I bopped to this, hell i bopped to Back Street Boys and Britney Spears... i also rocked Korn, Manson, Limp Bizket, Metallica. I find the the 90's is a genre in itself, just a mix of everything good 😁
@@billbaker7358 Yea i love me some Greenday, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Sound Garden and Smashing Pumpkins and who doesn't like Nirvana... i feel like making a playlist now and going down the rabbit hole 😎
I never gave these guys the credit they deserved when they first came out. Nowadays I realize how actually good the songs were, and how talented of musicians they always were. Hindsight is 20/20, and now I’m 38 and can admit my mistake.
naquela época era tudo tão mais legal, tão mais fácil... tão mais bonito!!! o mundo era um pouquinho melhor que hoje.... e tenho orgulho de falar que vivi minha infância nessa época...
+Pedro Batista Verdade!!! Eu tbm!!! hj às crianças e adolescentes não tem referências músicais boas! Como antigamente!!! infelizmente! por isso hj em dia só fazem merda na vida! 😒😔
Com certeza... disse tudo.. eles não têm referencia nenhuma... E outra coisa... Hanson tem talento ... e até hoje estão mostrando ao mundo seu talento... aki no Brasil.. Tantos começaram naquela época e não deram em nada.. Sandy e Junior... KLB... Vanessa... kkkkk... Mas amooo voltar no tempo!!! AHHH tamo ficando velhos kkkkkk
Fuck this song is even more of a banger with their voices matured
Right
I love their voices ... Taylor has this mature soft raw voice
Glad there's two versions myself
I wanna hear their current vocals on the old instrumentals. I feel like they always do an acoustic version now, and it doesn't have the same energy.
So much better, like wine
That first verse.. hits hard when you’re 38 years old in 2024 ..
I felt this comment.

Never underestimate Hanson. These guys had kept evolving their harmony and structure of their songs as they had different voices when they were kids.

It will never be that deep

@@RichCMoney No where in my comment did I determine how art impacts another person. I hope that clears everything up for you.

Thats the best harmony my friend.. family harmony.. Louvin Brothers, Beach Boys, Hanson..

I am so proud that they didn't turn into washed out teen stars!! Looks like they stayed healthy and level headed through all the money and fame. Good to see :)
Listen to their later albums and you’ll realize how truly talented and amazing they are. So underrated as they came into their adult voices.
100% agree, fantastic songs later on. I like that they still clearly love playing this song still after 25 years
Agreed. They just came in at a rough time, having to compete with so much. But still an amazing group.

Actually sounds MUCH better than the original. Sounds better w/ more mature voices sung a few keys lower.
my exact thought!
My thoughts too. I love the original but this is even better!
From many of the ignorant comments here, apparently the real "secret no one knows" is that Hanson has continued making consistently good music and giving great live performances during the past 20 years. To find out what most of you have been missing, check out the Hanson studio albums "This Time Around," "Underneath," "The Walk" and "Shout It Out."
And "Anthem"! :)
Daniel Ponce And many more -- I hope i was in Jamaica this year with them on their Back to the Island 2017 tour -- im gonna wait and really save for my VIP ticket to see them live in 2018 - Like their page guys Hanson on Facebook / Twitter
Daniel Ponce yes yes yes!!! Own every album and see them every year they come to Chicago!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💕💕💕
Daniel Ponce noone likes a know it all
I heard the title song of This Time Around when it was first out, and I thought, “OMG, they sound like Three Dog Night!” I wish Hanson would cover a 3DN song like Pieces of April or Out In The Country.
Talented brothers - love the tight harmonies that sharing a gene pool can create!
Peter McD yes this!!
Makes me wish me and my 3 sisters had practiced a little harder in high school choir 😝
No wonder everyone who listened to this when it first came out, immediately had better mental health! The words slap, the tume slaps, and their harmonies slap! I'm an almost 38 year old woman and I remember throughout the years having bad mental health times and I'd think of this sing and blast it on repeat while driving and things didnt seem so bad when I got back home.
how did they write such brilliant song during their young age? it is unbelievable.
Chun Hong Cheng they are extremely talented
They were so young when this song came out that twenty years later they are still young.
I love this version of mmm bop
Hanson are so freakin talented.
I never saw them as a boy band
Stephen Baldwin, Nico Rosberg and George of the jungle... the trio you never knew you needed!
Warning: this song will make you very happy
Puberty,
you have done it again.
These guys prove that their talent was more then a famous pop song, pure talent pure musicians. Pleasure to listen to.
I'm an 82 year black transgender and I LOVE this song!
You just had to get the transgender announcement out there, didn't you? Nobody cares about your delusion. Keep it to yourself.
🙃
Nobody cares
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! This is what you call “exceeding expectations”! These guys are real musicians. I would love to write a song for them
Generally "real musicians" write their own songs
@@GinEric84 you don't have to write your own songs to be a musician
@@XD-it3ig yeah you do. If you can't make music you're not a musician, you're a performer.
@@GinEric84 making music isn't the same as writing music. If you can play an instrument well and sing, then you are a musician.
@@GinEric84 By your logic, every member in a band that didn't write a song is just and entertainer. Same with pianists that play off of sheet music then.
Awesome!!! I love them since I was 13! 20 years ago
same! I'll be 33 in September- gotta say, I STILL have a soft spot for Taylor 😊
I'm not going to agree with you because it gives away my age but.... /whispers i agree with you
then u are at 33year of age :)
I think we who heard them from the start are in the 30's :)
29 for me :D
Now this is a delightful anomaly! Usually when an artist revisits a song years later it never quite lives up to the original, but this is fantastic!
not true, Madonna revisited her old song many times and it was just as good as the original versions most of the time
@@AlexeBriand2002 congrats, you made a massive list there to prove him wrong 🧢
Maybe not the same artist, but most of the popular versions of songs are covers, and most songs have lots of recordings before we get “the one” everyone knows and loves. Including this song, the demo is very nice too.
If you haven't heard the version of this song from their Strong Theory album you definitely should
@@AlexeBriand2002Madonna is, and has always been, absolute overrated garbage.
I'm so glad I came across a short clip of this today on my Instagram. Incredible they wrote this song as young teenagers. They were way ahead of their time.
Me too. I had to listen to the full version.
For some reason, I really love and appreciate this song now.
That’s how I found myself here as well! Great song!
Me three!!! I just saw the video on IG!!!❤❤❤
They sound incredible. A song that was #1 in 25+ countries all at the same time? Wrote their own music, lyrics, and played their own instruments? WOW.
Taylor Hanson has a fantastic voice. certainly grew into it
Those harmonies were killer.
They do those harmonies in PERFECT PITCH... Amazing.
Actual talent. Way before the Jonas Brothers... Ugh, so good! This version is amazing!
I'm not a teenage girl, but lord have mercy, I love these harmonies. Those boys have the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
They're in their 30s, now, so.... :) I agree, they are awesome!
Fifi Aames I'm jjj

I'm glad that "The Masked Singer" might get these very talented men the re-exposure they deserve. Of course MMMBop was sticky sweet bubblegum, but if anyone took a second back in '96 to look a little deeper, you would realize that they have a lot more in common with the Jackson 5 and the Beatles than Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees. I've always been on the lookout for hooks and harmonies, and even though I'm more of a metal guy, I would stand tall in front of my fellow rivet heads and tell them that talent is talent, and they need to open their eyes. Proud fan in my mid 40's. Go Russian Dolls... get out there, slay the rest of the posers and win this thing.
Imagine UB-40 covering this. Or any reggae group.
Hard to believe that three kids from Oklahoma came up with this in their living room.
I'm teary eyed watching/listening to this, takes me back to summer of 97 - I was 12, hanging around my estate with all my friends in the sunshine with not a care in the world, I posted this to my Facebook and tagged them - I wish I could go back for just one day 😥
you sound like a Bryan Adams song...
Oh man tell me about it what a year
I know what you mean dude ✌🏽
Hanging around ur estate 🤣🤣😭😭
Ashley Gray ☹️
Was 10 when I first heard this back in 1997. 20 years later I'm still loving it. This song will never grow old and is still fresh to my heart.
same mate and same years 🖤
Hanson is Lyfe!!! Hanson need a comeback right now!!!
Apparently they've never went away...
Hanson never went away. They just went a bit more independent. They just put out a new album a few years back.
THEY NEVER WENT AWAY!! I just saw them in concert last October. They will be releasing a new album pretty soon!
Comeback????? They are all multi millionaires that tour the world and haven't ever stopped
More 90’s legends…Still bringing it. Sounding the same as the day we first heard them.
They've grown up into some fine gentlemen and aren't too ashamed of their bubblegum past by singing this nearly 20 years later.
They always sing this at every concert/shows. 😂
Outstanding. I am 63 and I still groove to Hanson. MMMBop still gets me going. Love these boys, and have watched them grown from kids into men who really love each other.
Kathy Welcome I'm 51 and a fan too!!
Well, my heart just exploded!
The harmonies are just pure magic 😭😭😭
Brings back the times, sitting in my friends basement watching much music tv. How I long for those years. I’m in my late 30s now
SAME! I'm 37 and i still rock everything 90's as 99% of music today is cookie cutter trash. I bopped to this, hell i bopped to Back Street Boys and Britney Spears... i also rocked Korn, Manson, Limp Bizket, Metallica. I find the the 90's is a genre in itself, just a mix of everything good 😁
Can’t beat the grunge
@@billbaker7358 Yea i love me some Greenday, Silverchair, Foo Fighters, Sound Garden and Smashing Pumpkins and who doesn't like Nirvana... i feel like making a playlist now and going down the rabbit hole 😎
I’ll be sitting here on the couch tonight with a cold beer listening to nirvana. Thanks a lot
@@billbaker7358 Cheers 🍻
I was in the 6th grade when this came out. Now im 31. Damn how time flies.
Hnub Yaj same!!
like nooo way you were in 6th grade? like shut upP!!!
On the same boat pal
same here
Same here. This song came out in '97 I was in 4th grade.
Siblings often sing the best harmonies. The Roches were another great example. This is realy world class stuff.
Not to forget Carpenters and Bee Gees of yesteryear.
I never gave these guys the credit they deserved when they first came out. Nowadays I realize how actually good the songs were, and how talented of musicians they always were. Hindsight is 20/20, and now I’m 38 and can admit my mistake.
Also 38 here and my same exact same thoughts
That was soooo goood! Nostalgia
bons tempos que não voltam mais né?
+Pedro Batista Pois é ... 😢
naquela época era tudo tão mais legal, tão mais fácil... tão mais bonito!!! o mundo era um pouquinho melhor que hoje.... e tenho orgulho de falar que vivi minha infância nessa época...
+Pedro Batista Verdade!!! Eu tbm!!! hj às crianças e adolescentes não tem referências músicais boas! Como antigamente!!! infelizmente! por isso hj em dia só fazem merda na vida! 😒😔
Com certeza... disse tudo.. eles não têm referencia nenhuma... E outra coisa... Hanson tem talento ... e até hoje estão mostrando ao mundo seu talento... aki no Brasil.. Tantos começaram naquela época e não deram em nada.. Sandy e Junior... KLB... Vanessa... kkkkk... Mas amooo voltar no tempo!!! AHHH tamo ficando velhos kkkkkk
They could rereelease an album all grown up with all the songs like this
Eles já fizeram uma versão acustica e uma versão com orquestra sinfônica.
I’m 142 years old and I still listen to this because it reminds me of being a kid
