Hanson - Mmmbop (Jenny McCarthy - 1997)

[wmlingo26]

It means a meaning of time. U no Like how time Gos by and things change.

[lilpotato20]

aww...look how Jenny Loves Zac!

[fantaseagirl7]

taylor had this raw sound when he was young. am I right when I say he's lost it?

[lagemgem2001]

@fantaseagirl7 WRONG! Tay's talent has grown with him- he's fabulous! What has recently struck me is Zac's talent, what a pair of lungs that guy has! He's also a phenomenal drummer! I just love them so much, def a Fanson for life <3

[fantaseagirl7]

@lagemgem2001 all Im saying is his sound changed, not that he hasnt got any talent anymore xd. but hell yeah im a fanson toooo

[jsteele07189]

On MTv? I thought MTV was for stupid shows about college bros, not music!

[DelWhite]

As far as popular music is concerned, these guys are the best example of sheer talent there is. No auto-pitch, no vocoder, no effects processing period.

[mindsaglowin]

Who's the little girl with the braids?

[lpodruchny]

@mindsaglowin It's a little boy, the younger Hanson brother Zac. He is so adorable!!!!!

[MegaIzabelita]

I love this video! :D

[XxXkattXx]

Main singer. Definite MMMBOP !!!!

[brodyntay]

Omg taylors voice Awwwwwww<3 They are abso amazing!

[mabentle]

<3 

[icandoit007]

@Jullaan89 It freakin' disgusts me when people say that Justin Bieber is so talented. Yeah, right. Stupid lyrics written by people in their 30's and 40's to please stupid teenagers that just take any crap and like any "pretty face" out there who claims to write his own music. Bieber, you can fool them but not me. You can truly see how talented Hanson are. They were so little when wrote these beautiful songs and played different instruments. I will always admire them no matter what!

[gurimihnz]

hmm never accured to me, but Zac (on this video) looks like the singer in 4 none blondies. Wierd.

[lifeafter79]

jonas bros... suck it

not literally. but yeah... suck it

[MMMBopYoFace]

That Zachary Walker Hanson was just the cutest kid ever! 

[JekyllsMusic]

i love zacs hair

[lucasaiosa]

Jenny McCarthy hugging Zac Hanson in '97, and now hugging Charlie Harper, who could imagine that...

[nikemac84]

Jenny McCarthy had her OWN show???

How many days did it last???

[DownOnDreamStreet57]

i used to love Jonas Brothers until i found these guys! this song is older than me, but i love it!

[Buggusmac]

Should have been the new Jacksons, unfortunately they didn't attain that. Lil different groove and lil lighter complexion but same great vocals and music!!

[Jullaan89]

just compare this to stupid justin bieber.

this is one million times better! two million times! xx

[babyrrrtdoll]

a great lyric made for 3 little boys!!!i remberber 90....

[ThoseRealTears]

Last year, I thought Zach was so cute and then I would watch their old videos and feel like a pedophile. lol.

[MrSummer1995]

I LOve Zac H <333333333333

[summerXX0]

Awww Taylor @ 1:20 big smile

[summerXX0]

LOL jenny at the end

[digo5000]

OMG i remember this!!! hanson grew up so fine... i like more their acoustic...live they are awesome....

[tommyloika]

jenny mccarthy had a tv show? lol

[justianowski]

4 people don't know a good song when they hear it!!!! (AKA Jonas Brothers fans!)

[JBZA2003]

Wow I remember this when it aired! I was a Hanson fan indeed. Still am and they've even come a long way musically since this time, the height of their popularity.

[BergmanMusic]

These guys had talent, Jonas Brothers didn't

Hanson for fucking life!

[xxshawnee3xx]

@BergmanMusic Have* not had ;)

[BergmanMusic]

@xxshawnee3xx

Oh, of course ^^ My bad.

[jas4laughs]

Mmmbop is forever

woaaaaaa

[smartcookie76]

There's something about watching these kids play - they just embody everything that's good and right.

[barbidoll0]

Even if it takes until I'm old and gray w/ grandchildren, I will not rest, until Mmmbop is added to the dictionary.  The meaning is too important, not to be added to the english language.

[lotwyo]

Jonas Brothers achieved more by the Hanson's age lol

[Tubeology]

@lotwyo I hate to hate on you like this, but that comment is just ignorant... not only is your comment factually incorrect, if the Jonas Brothers had to go through 1/1000th of what Hanson had to go through to end up making it big, you (read: you or anybody else in the world) would have any idea who the Jo Bros are. Hanson had their own talent to make them big, the Jonas Brothers had Disney's billions and billions of $ to promote them. Please do yourself a favor and think before you post. Thanks.

[AllThisLoveCrap]

@lotwyo: How have the Jonas Brothers achived more than Hanson?

[TheRealMelissaG]

@lotwyo im a jonas fan (check my channel...) and i have to say that this is really not true... no matter how amazing the jonas brothers are, hanson have way more experience and were a ton bigger then them back in the 90s...

3 grammy nominations > 1 grammy nomination

12 million albums sold > 8 millions album sold...

get your fact straight please

both are amazing, but they just can't compare both... because hanson definetly wins

[cdlund1987]

mann, i bought this cd when i was 10, was one of the first cds i ever paid for outta my own money, along with Offspring - Americana..... as you can see i had a diverse taste from a young age lol

[DarrenKN]

One of their best renditions !!!!!!!

[mamashell07]

Man I wanted this vid back in the day what I would have done for You-Tube in 97.. :/

[janissamiano]

but come to think of it... i realized that the lyrics is ok, more than ok... :)

[xxorangepeltxx]

i so love taylor

[DelWhite]

pure talent. chicken skin.

[sjpc33]

kinda remind me of the jackson 5 for some reason

[chiggerzero]

its amazing how these litte kids pwned many grown up bands during the 90's!

[Glibardenius]

The studio version always is going to be the best one of this song...that version is superb and extraordinary...when they do this song live, they sound terribly mediocre

[ohhrichie]

TAYLOR

[oOkatochanOo]

Wow. I remember videotaping this performance when I was like...12. What a blast from the past!

[blueale123]

already 13 years... funny thing about this performance (some die hard fans might remember this) is that it was taped before actually hanson aired or released the single, so the audience had no clue about who they were and had never heard the song before (this makes you understand how powerful Island Records was... it could make Mtv tape an unknown artist due to make a huge breakthough)

[pepperannehanson]

@blueale123 They weren't with Island yet...they were with Mercury who was bought out by Island in like 99 or 00. But yeah, I remember them talking about how it was cool because the audience had never heard them

[HitzElis]

Eu tenho esse clip ainda gravado em VHS... Nossa eu lembro como eu via tds os dias e cantava junto! Aprendi a tocar panderola vendo o Taylor tocar! O Maximo! Os amo muito!!!!!

[RhythmDroid]

spot on harmonies and tons of soul. Perfect recipe. They are amazing.

[endlesslesboz]

i wonder what they look like now , i  wonder if they have short hair or still long like princesses <3

[TaylorSmile]

@endlesslesboz  It's short.. but Taylors is still a little bit shaggy.. =) They still make music too and tour and everything... they sound better than ever. Check em out!

[KindOfChocolate]

Quanto sono cresciuti adesso...ma è sempre un bel ricordo vedere come erano e come si impegnavano! Bravi!

[gabrielkhourifonseca]

Oh and another interesting thing to see is how Jenny hugs Zac, I can swear she said things like "OOOOOOh you're so cute" heehehehhehehehhe

[chocolytesprynkles]

@gabrielkhourifonseca hahaha yeah. that was really cute whe she did that

[gabrielkhourifonseca]

And when I listen to these first guitar chords.... I think...

Wow, and whatta blessed teenage I had.

What I most like about Hanson is that I have never seen a lyric that could talk anything wrong, could induce anyone to use drugs, no, they were really PURE boys! God bless their families now and their babies (that at this time, must be like 5 years old, at least Tay's) lol

[gabrielkhourifonseca]

Man, blessed is the one who made this recording become a youtube video!

Wow, I went back to the age of 10 years old! I watched this video thousands and thousands of itmes, I learned English with Hanson :-) And man, I really went back to the first time I saw a single thing about them on MTV BRASIL

[hawakinata]

i dare someone to find brothers of 11, 14 and 16yrs old who write all their own music, actually sound good, and pull off any type of live performance so naturally with SO much talent

ahh, the world will never know a better band :)

[justianowski]

I remember watching a countdown on MTV JUST to see Hanson because Bill Bellamy was interviewing them!

[Stephanie128]

my fav. Hanson song!!

[mewzakuro16]

...if they're so untalented, why did you look this video up and waste your time commenting on it?

[marcbrytsyd]

yes this is the best version ^_^

because of the more husky vocals...

[kyblondie83]

this was my favorite video and version of mmmbop. I had it recorded on a move tape, and then transferred it onto a music tape with a talkboy..LMAO.. die hard hanson fan!!

[RobertaCeribelli]

I watched this video a lot of times... erm... about 201 times... and I still listening this all time...

Well! Thanks for upload this ^^

[11Janine1]

Taylor is sooo hot (: <33

[Feelissy]

Taylor is gorgeous! Always has been.

[hansoniketayzac]

I LOVE THIS SONG <3 ! I love this video <3 !

[xskatex4evax]

Lol i love how that woman just ran and hugged Zac right at the end! Thats exactly what i wanted to do! :D

[RobertaCeribelli]

I love that woman, too!! ahah! Zac is the more tender for me!!!

[kyblondie83]

lmao that was jenny McCarthy

[xskatex4evax]

oh! i thought it was just an audience member! :P

[BeaHansen]

they all were so cute, i was about 10 when they came out with mmmbop and i was so in love zac

[mmmbopingmommy]

I hate when people knock this song and don't take into consideration the age of the writers of the song. I think that the lyrics are amazing, especially when the oldest brother was 12 or 13 when the song was written.

[maybeme8]

i think so too.. its a pretty accurate song when you think about it.. things in life are fleeting and the few relationships that are strong will always be there.. .. also, their amazing at making the vocals and instruments come together for such young people..

[stoani1992]

@mmmbopingmommy me too they are really awesome and when i understood the lyrics the first time i was really amazed the make so much sense i never thought...

[vagarical]

@mmmbopingmommy Gosh that's exactly what I have always said! If you listen past the chorus the lyrics are incredibly mature considering the ages they were when writing this.

I still love this song. I've grown out of most music I listened to in my teens but this still appeals to me.

[ImaNemiFan]

@mmmbopingmommy

That is honestly the best comment i've ever read on any of the mmmbop videos that i watch. I really feeling like printing that out any shoving it in my mom's face, as well as all my other friends/relatives that make fun of hanson just because of that song. And countless times, they've said stuff like "What the heck does that even mean?" & 'It make no sense, why dont u listen to the jonas brothers' Why cant they understand that the boys were really young when they wrote this?!

[okkcomputer]

@mmmbopingmommy i always thought that their father wrote da lyrics

[barbidoll0]

@okkcomputer Nah it was Ike, Tay, and Zac themselves :D

[joelos1111]

they were so cute back then,they were the real manifestation of the truth american dream :),i love this old hanson not the new ones,i mean they were cutter than a little pupuy don't you all think?

[daph9191]

i COMPLETELY agree

[victoriat84]

OMG I remember this performance I use to have it recorded and watch it on repeat lol

[NATANDDEL]

Love this tune its ledge! x

[franzjiro]

i can still remember.. we have this dance craze in our country (philippines).. its cool!

[jess182]

still awesome ... I LoVe this

[vickienck1]

what a effing tune

[LongWayHome10]

YAY! I think I might have this on VHS somewhere..... I miss those days...

Is this page upsidedown for anyone else? The words and this video are upside down..... wierd?

[KristinaCalabrese]

Was it April first when you viewed this? Youtube pulled a prank and flipped everything upside down lol

[rahulvinal]

omg thank you sooooooo much..my entire childhood just flashed through my head..i dunno for some reason i was in tears after this....wow!!

but does anyone have the music video for this?

[NoSalvation17]

Simply awesome. I've been listening to them since their first CD and I will continue. Hanson is real music. They have awesome voices, they play their own instruments, they don't lyp sync, and their songs are amazing. Hanson is such a great band even to this day.

[MigEffect]

i miss them back in the day like this. but theyre still amazing!

[LesRobeaux]

lol i never thought that i would say that but i have to admit that zac was cute there

[neifaen87]

OMG zac was so cute back them!

[Caffeinex2Jolt]

he still is !!

[rsheck16]

i agree they are a little alike

[LesRobeaux]

omg are you crazy hansons were talented and they gained their fame by their own not like the shit obros

[junkmailboy1000]

you gotta be kiddin me. The Jonas Bros are a completely manufactured group pimped out by a major empire who forced them down the throats of tweens on all Disney and ABC venues they possibly could.

The Hanson guys are purely talented musicians. They never tried to sell some trendy image...I mean lookit them in this vid, they look like they just walked off the street and they wrote this song that most adult songwriters wish they had.

[smartytart2002]

Sweeeet!!!

[MMMBop777]

The cool thing about this clip is that it was recorded when Taylor was still 13 (in Feb. 1997, I believe) before the single MMMBop was released. Then it aired months later. If a show like this was on now, the audience would not consist of mild-mannered adults. So many things have changed since then, and so many authentic musicians do not get their music heard in the mainstream anymore. Days like these are pretty much gone. I just hope someday they come back! Glad that Hanson is still around!

[twintwix10]

really? how did you know? xD

love hanson....

[MMMBop777]

I don't know, I remember it from 11 years ago. I remember taping the show on a VHS tape, and before this performance they had a short, funny interview with Jenny and I think she told Taylor he was cute and he blushed or something. I wish I still had a VCR so I could play the episode. It was so cute! I'm not sure how I remember that the original taping was in February though, but I think they showed it somewhere.

[stewieh27]

yh

sorry i shouldnt of called u an idiot

just werent in the best mood cuz split up with gf

zacs hair is great tho dont ya think?

[sherka101]

phew, thank you, now, i don't have to look over and over again at youtube for this video. it really makes me smile. muah.

[live2offroad0010]

[stewieh27]

[sherka101]

[AureliaVictoria]

[stewieh27]

[AureliaVictoria]

[AureliaVictoria]

[sherka101]

ummm, please don't brag at me, that isn't taylor the girl hugged at the end. it was zac.

[AureliaVictoria]

oops.. youre right:P whys she hugging Zac?:P its sweet though

[rachaelsiriusmarie]

The girl is Jenny McCarthy the woman who's show they were on

[distantkc]

They are all three nice young men and at least two are fathers. They were in Tulsa last week opening the BOK arena. They

[sherka101]

no, three of them are already fathers. zac already had a child, i saw this on the internet dated march 2008 "zac hanson welcomes their first child".

[lauramcclean]

Poor Tay still hada baby voice! this was early 1997 :) love u Taylor forever!! xx

[Dogwolf27]

Sorry, I meant on mainstream tv, not as a band...because of course they have been performing since the very early 90's!

[Dogwolf27]

This was one of their first appearences as a band, in march of 97. Before the retail release of the MMMBOP single even!

So Taylor's voice had actually changed at the beginning of 97, thus why they recorded 'Thinking of You' and 'MMMBOP' earlier than the other tracks on the record. Had to lay some vocals down in a higher key whilst they could.....hehe he sounds great either way:)

[tcornell05]

ha i love his huge crack in the first chorus

[drewoasis]

I respect the fact that they can at least play their own instruments...I'll take that over the crap today..

[Littlekt331]

do you have an interview for this?

[rockyyC]

haha! love how tay's voice is changing in this video. (hello pubertyy!)

[venusaline]

Obrigada! Thank you very much for video!It´s very dificult looking for.

My English not is perfect, sorry!...

[appletons13]

I have a record of this vid but i lost it hehe

[rhapsodeeinblue]

So adorable! I think this was their first TV appearance as a band, ever. :)

[somethinglikemagic]

NO WAY, they're really good!

i loooooove them < 3

[elisabruh]

I was looking for this video like crazy for years. Once I got it I HAD to put here.

Thanx to people from Hanson Brasil Communit.

[NightlyKissez]

I love you forever for posting this. it is one of my favs ever!!
