Happy Anniversary MMMBop
“When you get old and start losing your hair, can you tell me who will still care “
As MMMbop reaches 20 years as an official release for Hanson, the question is answered by the continued interest of the media and the commitment of a world-wide fan base.
As our name sake, we cannot let the anniversary of the song that launched our favourite band pass us by and so we mark it with an acknowledgment.
This sunny sounding summer song, marked a moment of musical madness for many and cast the spotlight on Hanson, taking them from the middle of nowhere to the middle of everywhere.
Its lyrics are profound and its inspiration is the dream treasured by three young people at the beginning of their career.
20 years later, dreams have become reality and the world is still mesmerised by a tongue twister invented by children and intended for everyone.
