Subject: Hanson

Written By: woops on 10/26/06 at 2:57 pm

Can't believe it's been bearly 10 years since the Children of the Corn known as Hanson came onto the scene with one of the worst pop songs of the decade: "Mmm Bop".  :P

Though resembled Aly & AJ, current hate pop act, they're still around, but thankfully not famous anymore.

One of them got married and have a kid of his own and their music is now generic pop/rock (ie Yellowcard, Lifehouse), though still mediocre...


Atleast they weren't full of hatred like Aly & AJ  ::)  ::)

What's sad is that even though they are not really a big success in the States anymore, they still have a BIG following in the UK with 8 Top 40 hits between 1997-2005

I remember their breakthrough hit from '97, "MMM Bop." The chorus still doesn't make any sense to me. ::) And for the record, the oldest member (Isaac) is four months younger than me.

I thought they were okay. I wasn't big on them, but I didn't see them as all that bad. It's kinda nice to have young kids who can actually create some decent pop tunes and compose them at such a young age. I actually saw them in concert when I was 16 (1998). My best friend wanted to see them really bad. We were probably some of the oldest girls there, lol.

I wasn't too crazy about them when they first came out...but their music has matured along with them. Actually they are all 3 married now (Issac, the oldest, being the newest to tie the knot)...and Taylor (the middle brother) and his wife just had their 3rd child, if I am correct!!! :o

I remember when they were huge, Mad TV did a sketch about "Hanson 2030" - portraying them as, like 40-45 year old overweight men still acting 9. Like when their interviewer in the sketch said she liked "Mmm Bop" they went "Well if ya like it so much, why don't ya marry it!" ;D


Really, I'm cool with 'em, and I could understand why little girls (at the time) were into them, but it was never my thing. Even if I'd been a girl and/or 10 in 1997, I don't think I'd have been a fan.

I remember when they came out with MMMBop, everyone was making jokes about how the one that sings lead / plays piano looked like a girl.  Actor Jay Mohr came on Late Night with Conan O'Brien once and was talking about that little girl in Hanson ;D

No worries, the secret is safe with me.

If it helps any, I like alot of music I'd be embarrased to admit to. I even actually liked a couple Backstreet Boys songs in 1998 (more the ballads, like "As Long As You Love Me"). A 16/17-year old guy could've gotten a serious *ss kicking if my friends found that out. ;D

Like they say on Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" Hell, in the mid '90s, I still enjoyed listening to music I liked from 1987.

If Hanson falls in a forest, do they make a sound if no one is around to hear it?

There's one exception... Deborah Gibson (1997 - 10 = 1987)

Though like Hanson, her later material is overlooked... except that her voice is better and still look great in her mid 30's

She's now dating Lorenzo Lamas...which oddly  might have a daughter that resemble Ashley Tisdale if they were to have a kid...

...BTW, I was into Tisdale long before Deb told Entertainment Tonight and I had no idea who Lamas was  :D
