I suspect a lot of the hate came from over-exposure. People at the time heard this song in the supermarket, on the radio; basically constantly. I am an old guy and, at the time, it wasn't that the song was bad but that I heard it everywhere all the time that led to my avoiding it.
63 years old. Rock or bust. Once an a while a band comes by and blows your mind. Three dudes, good, bad, humans, whatever. Be who you want to be. These 3 dudes, put a memory in my mind. Forever.
Forget the original version being bubblegum pop rock, even then their harmonies were amazing. This more grownup adult version is absolutely lights out.
Have you ever Googled the lyrics to the song? For years I just knew MMMBop. "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" -- That's some deep shit, man.
Plenty of hit songs are hits simply because of the artists look, or a gimmick sound, but this was a catchy, well written song from KIDS. And they had real chops . They should be super proud of it and that they stayed healthy and sane through the fame
lol "a hit" is insanely understated. This shit took the WORLD by storm.. it was freakin' nutty how big these kids were. To me, the most impressive thing is they did it WITHOUT the internet!!!
I been listen to hanson since 1994 till now. I'm 41 years old same age like taylor and I remember how great this song was when hit the radio station I still listened to them
I love how they still play this because most artists who started as young as they did tend to treat songs that more or less put them on the map (in a way) act as if these songs are some dirty secret of sorts. Like, some tend to look really embarrassed and seemed to just want to forget their older songs.
I remember these guys use to come into my Pawnshop with their dad looking for musical gear they were playing Malls and schools and private party's before their first album came out
Eu amo essa banda!!! Fez muita parte da minha infância, assim como space girl, backstreet boys... Tive a oportunidade de ver um show de Hanson de Dallas, quando fui de férias pra lá em 2005. Foi lindo demais.
I’ve always said as Hanson became the band we all recognize now I could care less if they play Mmmbop at their shows (I’ve only been to one where they didn’t) but I really loved Taylor’s explanation. They had a number one song right out the gate and that is how I got to be a fan. I’ve stuck with them through all of it and am so glad that I have. They’re amazing musicians.
What you did was created one of the most brilliantly written song in history. You just don't realize it till you hit 50 years old! INCREDIBLE!! 11,9,&6 years old!!
I just fell in love with Zac.lol..in a platonic way😏.Great sense of humor.😆.This song is probably the most nostalgic song in my life.I was Taylor's age in 1996 when this came out.I was raised on The Doors and YES so I had to act like this wasn't a very catchy song back then.lol.I had to make fun a couple times as well.Looks like they got the last laugh!!!! Great job boys.Great music.😊
OMG THIS SONG BRINGS ME PURE JOY!!!!! My, my, you brothers are all grown up, and all of you, just Gorgeous!!!!! I new you were talented the very first time I heard this AMAZING, MAGNIFICENT MAGICAL SONG!! I rushed out and bought the c.d.! My husband and children and I adored you from the very first 🎶 magical beat.....
When I did my Grade 7 back in Bulolo Town Morobe Province Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬the boys came up with MMBop and I became one of their followers (fan). Still love listening to them ❤️
Well, they're better musicians now. Plus, the original album version was insipid and overproduced--the lyrics were so muddy it was difficult to clearly make out a lot of the words.
This is probably repetitive in posts before, but this was a part of my "growing up" and weirdly the place I go to in music after much trauma...to uplift me. Thank you for your your beautiful representation of family.
Too many hated on these guys back in the day maybe cause it was the Boy Band era? But I liked them right away they are real musicians who can sing and play instruments & write their own songs . Something most so called singers could never do today..
I loved mmmbop when it first came out , I was 21... I think, I'm 47 and love this song even more!! you guys are talented and that was an awesome rendition of that song! keep on keeping on ! respect to you!
This song's construct is one of the greatest pop rock earworms ever written btw...right up there w Toni Basel's Micky. I defy you to listen to the original recording and for 3 days after not have you hum it a few times a day.
A lot of people hated on these guys but this song was fire and still is today.
They brought back harmony in a time it was missing.
People hate them becuz they got all the girls? lol

No.
No it nots hahahhahaha

i NEVER REALISED just HOW AMAZING THESE GUYS WHERE, WHAT VOCALS, SPOT ON.
I totally agree
Forget the original version being bubblegum pop rock, even then their harmonies were amazing. This more grownup adult version is absolutely lights out.
Don’t ever feel you have to justify playing this song. It’s pure joy! 🤩 Day has been made 💜
I see Zac hasn't lost his silliness, lol. If his kids are there they're probably thinking "Dad, stop".
This kids are super talented and thank you for the upbeat music. We need it more than ever.
Props to these guys, never wavered, never faltered, just did what they love
I still get chills everytime I hear this song live. 25+ years later.

You can not say these guys don’t have talent. Makes me feel old, I remember this song when it first came out like it was yesterday👍👍👍👍
They're simply just nice guys. You don't see that often in the music world.
What great harmonies, they sound great. Impressive to have a hit at such.a young age!
Yes, those harmonies are awesome. All three blend very well. 👍
lol "a hit" is insanely understated. This shit took the WORLD by storm.. it was freakin' nutty how big these kids were. To me, the most impressive thing is they did it WITHOUT the internet!!!
@@mikecalkins6467 Right! I am 34 and loved them, still do! Its amazing that they always got along as well! 🥰
I been listen to hanson since 1994 till now. I'm 41 years old same age like taylor and I remember how great this song was when hit the radio station I still listened to them
Great song. Such a talented group. You don’t see this type of talent today and they’re so humble and they love their fans.
Way back when, I was aware that a lot of people put these guys down, then I actually listened to the song, and I was like, "These guys rock!"
Hanson was always ahead of their time. Known these lyrics since I was 12, these lyrics hit different in your 30s
Ahead of their time in what way?
@@tera_2024 Meaning they were so young for the quality of lyrics they were writing.
I love how they still play this because most artists who started as young as they did tend to treat songs that more or less put them on the map (in a way) act as if these songs are some dirty secret of sorts. Like, some tend to look really embarrassed and seemed to just want to forget their older songs.
It's because no other songs from them that's as popular as Mmbob
Like who? Give us an example...
Glad they are still rocking.A truly great song and superb lyrics.Rock on boys.
Chills all over. This is my youth. ❤
What id do to go back to this time
Tesoro si ❤
I remember these guys use to come into my Pawnshop with their dad looking for musical gear they were playing Malls and schools and private party's before their first album came out
Im 65 never gets old my girls played the cd non stop.
MMM bopping all the way to Australia 😃 I still love the song I'll still keep on bopping 🤩🥰
Eu amo essa banda!!! Fez muita parte da minha infância, assim como space girl, backstreet boys... Tive a oportunidade de ver um show de Hanson de Dallas, quando fui de férias pra lá em 2005. Foi lindo demais.
Really impressed by this. I haven’t heard this song in years, never thought they’d still sound good. Absolutely Fantastic is more like it.
When my son was in college he couldn't get why all of the girls loved this song. I did, and still do.
Bro, I was about 6 when they were at their height and I must say they are still great in my eyes! That harmony never dies.

This song never gets old. Thanks Hanson's for making, this song, MMMBop. Love it.
Loved these guys since the 90s. Bring on Auckland, NZ! ❤️❤️❤️
Are they coming here?
Many years later and there still amazing at what they do ...still sound great ❤❤❤
What you did was created one of the most brilliantly written song in history. You just don't realize it till you hit 50 years old! INCREDIBLE!! 11,9,&6 years old!!
This song still slaps hard and these guys voices sound fantastic. The harmonies. Pros all day.
Tay’s voice is still good and I’m surprised at Zac’s voice is also fantastic.
Love from Japan
Sweet lyrics…. Great tune 😊
I love these dudes, they're passionate about their craft. You gotta respect them for it. And they really are so bloody talented.
My kids and I really liked this song when it was first recorded. They "outgrew" it. I still think it's pretty awesome.
I am in my mid 30's and I am still in love with Issac
I just fell in love with Zac.lol..in a platonic way😏.Great sense of humor.😆.This song is probably the most nostalgic song in my life.I was Taylor's age in 1996 when this came out.I was raised on The Doors and YES so I had to act like this wasn't a very catchy song back then.lol.I had to make fun a couple times as well.Looks like they got the last laugh!!!!

I new you were talented the very first time I heard this AMAZING, MAGNIFICENT MAGICAL SONG!! I rushed out and bought the c.d.!

These guys embrace the one hit wonder thing. Most of us never get the one hit so why not embrace it.
This song kicks ass seriously ..a huge hit and fantastic lyrics ..how can you not love these guys ,I wish to be like these guys
Wow... I remember this song from when I was younger, they sound amazing still
Song begins at 3:15
3:11 😉
they have real talent. Still great vocal range as they matured...
I love acoustic sets their the best to hear because it's real music and real singing 👍
*Long live the 80s and 90s generation of music!*
Seeing this video has definitely made me a fan
I’ve always loved these guys and this song. I actually bought their first album and still have it!!
Their harmonies are amazing
Legitimately brilliant. Great pop song, amazing harmonies, sung live 👏
Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it! Awe
When I did my Grade 7 back in Bulolo Town Morobe Province Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬the boys came up with MMBop and I became one of their followers (fan). Still love listening to them ❤️
MMMBOP 🥰 fez parte da minha infância e da adolescência ❤️
There are some artists that perform songs from years and years ago and just don’t sound as good. But Lordy this sounded incredible!!!
Your comment is as cringey as this performance. My god I can’t believe there are so many idiots out there.
Well, they're better musicians now. Plus, the original album version was insipid and overproduced--the lyrics were so muddy it was difficult to clearly make out a lot of the words.
Personally, I think this is WAY better than the original, which is almost a novelty song by comparison.
Thanks for the beautiful Song. I love this Song very much, till to the moon and back. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pamiętam ich z lat 90 , moje lata.Pierwsze prywatki, miłości, ach to były czasy
I’m a 50 year old straight male and this song hits me to my core b/c of the harmony. Love this performance. Go ahead, take your shots, I’ll oblige
What's a straight male got to do with anything?
I'm right there with you! I'm 51. It's catchy and you can't help but to fall into the groove of this song!
They have gotten finer with time in so many ways! 💥😍 #Hanson
My kids were 7 and 9 when this came out. I don't know how much they really liked this but they knew I freaking loved it and still do.
They sound amazing live.
omg all the 90s musician are back love this
These guys are the real deal.
Watching these guys make me feel so much younger...they were such cute kids and could sing!
Its weird to have grown along these guys and that this song has remained as relevant as ever.
Amazing vocals. Damn they sound great
God bless those three part harmonies.
I LOVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! SINCE 1995... AND I´LL ALWAYS LOVE U.
They're still amazing musicians. I LOVE LOVE there singing ❤❤❤
Beautiful song, beautiful men and they bring the craic!🙌😍This song will never get old❤
Ah it take me back. They are still as brilliant as ever💕🎵
They are National Treasure... Protect them at all cost
The way three brothers should be
What he is saying is so true! More than he knows!!
I really love this song! I loved it the first time I heard it. But since they slowed it down to more of a balled I love and cherish it even more❤
Ohh my god love ❤️ them!❤️🙌🏾
This is probably repetitive in posts before, but this was a part of my "growing up" and weirdly the place I go to in music after much trauma...to uplift me. Thank you for your your beautiful representation of family.
I had no idea they were this funny charismatic and talented!
Too many hated on these guys back in the day maybe cause it was the Boy Band era? But I liked them right away they are real musicians who can sing and play instruments & write their own songs . Something most so called singers could never do today..
I still love them the same way... That song is their lottery ticket. 🥰
Latest generations lost the ability to recognize real talent in music, otherwise these kids were superstars.
I’d do anything to go back to the 90’s and early 2000’s 😭😭😭
I’ve seen them twice and the second time their little brother Mac was touring with them with his band and I fell in love with this brothers band also.
as a kid i loved this, as a teenager i thought it was lame and now as an adult this song slaps sooo hard.
*"With your Chris Farley voice"*
*And that impression is great*
I loved mmmbop when it first came out , I was 21... I think, I'm 47 and love this song even more!!
you guys are talented and that was an awesome rendition of that song!
keep on keeping on ! respect to you!
Wow ❤
This song's construct is one of the greatest pop rock earworms ever written btw...right up there w Toni Basel's Micky. I defy you to listen to the original recording and for 3 days after not have you hum it a few times a day.
Timeless classic
Omg yesssss I love u guys
Never liked the song but can’t deny these guy’s talents.
Fantastic....always!!
This really put a smile on my face. I still love these guys👍
Sooooo adorable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25 anos depois MMMbop… 💚💛💚💛💚💛
It's a strangely adult looking back with wisdom kind of song written by children. They should win a grammy just for their thoughtfulness.
The song is all grown up now too. Brilliant move to play it acoustically.
As a kid in the 90s we all wanted to be like Zac on the drums 😁
I love these guys I use to listen to them when I was a kid and sill listen to them now alsome people
Always a great song :) xxxxxxx
