(68,320 posts)I know, I know. Its the bubbliest of bubble gum songs. But I love the sheer joyous exuberance of the song. Never get tired of it.

(5,685 posts)Hanson gets a bad rap because they were just kids.
But they stayed together and were actually a pretty good mature adult band.
That song in particular is ear candy but actually has a pretty mature theme about prioritizing a few deep relationships over the shallow fleeting ones. It is actually pretty freaking astute for a group of minors.
I love this version of it that keeps the joyfulness while really bringing out the underappreciated musicality and theme. It made me see the band in a whole new light
Aristus
(68,320 posts)I saw their tour schedule at the end of the video. They were at The Croc in Seattle in 2019. If I had only known...

I love that lead singer. Great voice with an infectious charm.
It is hard not to smile.
Glad you liked it. I would love to take credit for it but I only "discovered" it because someone posted it here years ago.
