Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" is a single by the Canadian folk-rock group Crash Test Dummies, featured on their 1993 album God Shuffled His Feet.
Each verse described the isolation and suffering of a child who was inexplicably abnormal -- a boy whose hair prematurely whitened from shock, a girl covered in birthmarks, and a boy whose family belonged to a peculiar religious sect. An alternate version sometimes performed at live concerts replaced the third verse with one concerning a boy whose mother disposed of his tonsils after a tonsilectomy, thus depriving him of the possibility of bringing them to Show and Tell. Vocalist Brad Roberts sings in a deep and resonant baritone that makes the song instantly recognizable.
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 car had smashed so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm 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 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
