MMMBop

Pop Rock
In 1997, three long-haired teen brothers from Oklahoma burst onto the scene with “MMMBop,” a ridiculously catchy pop-rock ditty. Hanson’s upbeat anthem — with its nonsensical “MMMBop” chorus and soulful harmonies — shot to #1 in dozens of countries and became the earworm of the year. While the lyrics reflect on how quickly relationships can fade, most remember its sunny, infectious vibe. “MMMBop” turned Hanson into overnight stars and remains a nostalgic guilty pleasure that instantly brings back the bubblegum pop bliss of the late ’90s.
