Music sample
Hanson - "MMMBop"

"MMMBop" is a song written and performed by the American pop rock band Hanson from their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere. The song was nominated for two Grammys at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards in February 1998, and is the band's most successful single to date. "MMMBop" was phenomenally successful, especially for a debut single, reaching number one in 27 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Mexico.[1] In the United Kingdom, the song sold 710,000 copies and stayed at number one for 3 weeks. It was voted the best single of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll, while also topping critics' polls from such media as Rolling Stone, Spin, and VH1, and was ranked as #20 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s", as well as #98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years".

However, "MMMBop" has also been the target of considerable criticism and parody, largely due to its "sugary-sweet" pop music sound.[2]

Background

The song originally appeared on the 1996 independent album MMMBop as a ballad, but was reworked as an upbeat pop track by hit producers The Dust Brothers.
