😍wow! Looking for years and years this song once I heard back in Mexico in the radio when I was a teenager, didn't understand the lyrics but I was so impressed and after years of looking for it finally in 2022 there it is!!!!!!!!
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.
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
WraithOfAngels with all of the bullying out their it seems to get me the line of girl not wanting to change. Great song and he represents us well as a fellow winnipeger

Crash Test Dummies Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics: Once there was this kid who Got into an accident and couldn't come to school But when he finally came back His hair had turned from black into bright white He said that it was from when The cars had smashed him so hard Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Once there was this girl who Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room But when they finally made her They saw birthmarks all over her body She couldn't quite explain it They'd always just been there Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm But both the girl and boy were glad 'Cause one kid had it worse than that 'Cause then there was this boy whose Parents made him come directly home right after school And when they went to their church They shook and lurched all over the church floor He couldn't quite explain it They'd always just gone there Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Oh oh Oh oh
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 :)
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".
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!
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.
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.

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.

I'd be honored if some classic 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Arms of an Angel by SARAH McLACHLAN, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
cool, I cant explain it either, shaking and lurching all over the church floor when the Holy Spirit comes upon me like tongues of fire and I see the heavens open and am raptured up in the presence of the Maker, no explanation needed I guess haha
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.

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.

Alway great to see artists that can perform live and not just in a studio with some nice gadgets :D Great song, really special voice. Amazing! By the way, I couldn't really find much about it but are the lyrics based on something or are they completely made up? They sound really heavy loaded with background, even when he sings it here it looks somehow intense and emotional.
ive read he's been in a few car crashes as a child and it always sticked with him. There were some other motivations considered he writing this song. you can read about it when u google for it. peace
Even my table is vibrating, when he sings "mmmmmmm"

Absolutely Incredible live performance.
Love, love, love his voice!
What a great song and great performance. I could listen to this song all day long. Gotta love anybody that says they have hair on their back too...

To takes you back in time, like you can touch it, but you can't quite
Simple and amazing.
Been loving this one for 30 years. Speaking to me today as it did in '93
Thanks, what a legacy y'all are leaving ❤
Man… you get a whole new outlook on this song as you get older. And this version is just outstanding. What a great find- this made my day!
So much better acoustic in my opinion
You ain’t lying ain’t picked up the guitar in months this song was stuck in my head and hanppesned to be the tuning it is in
Best version I’d ever heard

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

When I found this song on RUclips....I put my hand on my chest....a blast from the past!!!
Brad's voice is MONUMENTAL!!!
man he really lets the guitar talk, this song is a blueprint. i have chills
Oh! They sound Fantastic! But, Geez you guys! Take it easy on the nostalgia! Who put these onions here?
Gorgeous version, love it.
Saw them in North Carolina ~2012. Acoustic guitar player was flawless 🎯
Best live guitar performance of these song!
beautiful voice, great Crash test dummies!
This is brilliant! Real Music. Outstanding! Nuff said
Crash Test Dummies Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics:
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed him so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both the girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Oh oh
Oh oh
I love you voice. Congratulation from Brazil.

Love it and always have. Exceptional "mature" rendition. Congrats on the amazing voice, Brad.

How many times can you play this song live before it becomes absolute torture lol

Que voz impresionante se me eriza la piel ... majestuoso
This Man's Voice is Awesome! I would love to hear Him cover some Johnny Cash songs.
I agree!
Shed Washington very very!!
Shed Washington yes!!
He did a cover of Johnny's "Understand Your Man." Google Brad Roberts "Understand Your Man" and I'm sure you'll find it
Holy crap, that's the most amazing microphone I've ever heard! Sound Quality is EXCELLENT! (About what I should expect at a RADIO station, eh?)
This is a phenomenal performance. Incredible guitar work, heart-wrenching vocals, and gorgeous harmonies. One of my favourite songs.

How he can keep the same voice since the song went to public at 90's! Awesome dude
+ajierandi there's a video in which his voice sounds far more tired and weak...
He couldnt sing then .. and he cant sing now ! thats how .. but it just worked ...
+sledger2003 what are you on.
Epica canzone una delle mie preferite di sempre, di quando i video musicali erano video musicali e non le schifezze di oggi!
He could get old but the song will never.
you don´t want me to take it off, I got hair on my back XD
legend
One in a million voice, luv ya :)
Ein toller Song von einer tollen Band.
Masterpiece ! A really great song and performance: gets never old for sure

PERFECTION

I never knew Donnie Walhberg played guitar
This song is a masterpiece.
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.
This song, along with Superman's Song and At My Funeral, occupy a very special place in my heart.
This band did it their own way; no one ounds quite like them. It's entirely obvious that one of his biggest influences was XTC.
xtc1957 yeah defo, if they covered some xtc I'd like thaaaat
that voice is so unique and money
The sad reality that you'll forever be that guy with the 'hmmm, hmmm' song..That no-one knows or will try to.
This is just great, this song gets in your head, so pretty! This is a great video, thanks!

🤯 the best 👑
Just Terrific !
what if when he dies this song is playing on a eternal loop in his head omg
The 90's personified. So beautiful. Gives me chills everytime.
Excelente tema, un enormes clásico, con una lírica hermosa y existencial. Qué gran voz tiene su vocalista y líder, Brad Roberts.
A guitar and a good singer (include background) What more could you want?

Love this!!! Perfect!
Javier Bardem is awesome!
LOOOOOOOOOOOL!
LOL!!!! Dead on, Deadpills!!!!
Josh Deadpills Nice catch, imo he does look more as family of Chazz Palminteri, at least
Are you stupid? His name is Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
+Maximilian Dummnichtswürdigkerl its OBVIOUSLY a joke, relax mate.
i love when he whispers 'pentachost' 😆😆😆😆😆
Brad Roberts and Darius Rucker sound so similar. So much that I used to think this was a Hootie and the Blowfish song back in the day.
damn I just love this man's voice and the fact that he is just flat out 'sexy' as hell :)
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.
