MMMBOP!

Song: MMMBop

Artist: Hanson 

 

 

 

 

 

What better way to honor these three talented brothers than to give a shout out to the song that started it all? This is a fun, catchy, dancy-type song that has so much 90's nostalgia in it I can't help but smile whenever I watch the music video. But it's much more than just the catchy chorus (MMMbop, ba ba du bop, du ba da ba doo, bop ba ba doo). I was surprised at how meaningful the lyrics are when I first looked them up so many months ago. I was even more impressed when I found out a 16, 14 and 11 year old wrote them. This song will always have a very special place in my heart. I will be MMMBopping till the day I die!

 

 

Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah

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 yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah
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?
Oh, oh care

Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Yeah
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du
Yeah

Oh yeah
In an Mmmbop they're gone
Yeah yeah

*Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows*
It's a secret no one knows
Oh, no one knows

 

(*Keep trying, you never know which attempt will be the successful one. I never thought of this part of the song that way before but it makes so much sense and makes this verse have more meaning)

Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, yeah
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop

In an mmm bop they're not there
In an mmmbop they're gone
In an mmm bop they're not there
In an mmmbop they're gone
In an mmmbop they're not there
In an mmmbop they're gone
In an mmmbop they're not there
Until you lose your hair
Oh
But you don't care
