Carl Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 We had to find out if "MMMBop" was inspired by The Grateful Dead - the rumor was they would scat out "MMM - Bop" when playing a cover of "Not Fade Away" at concerts. So we talked to Zac Hanson, who is the drummer and youngest of the 3 Hanson brothers. It turns out there is no truth to the story, but he did give us the history of the song, which despite being one of the most ferocious earworms ever recorded, is a great pop song. These guys write their own songs and even critics seem to love their 3 albums. They have loads of talent and should be around a long time.

Foxy Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 I loved Mmm Bop when it first came out - I very quickly went off it as it just seemed to sickly sweet. Not taken any notice of them for years, and then this evening I was flicking through the music channels and saw the video for their new song 'Penny And Me' and I really enjoyed it!! Surprised myself - although I'm not going to hold my breath for many more of their songs I like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 You know, I saw these guys on one of those 'good morning' shows , probably this past summer or fall, and I don't know the name of the song, but I remember commenting to my wife that it wasn't bad. Pretty good in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
