Lyric discussion by LordThingy 

Cover art for MMMBop lyrics by Hanson

This is what I believe about Mmmbop:

  1. The pansy in the background of the music video bothers me. A lot.
  2. Does everyone notice that non-fans who joke on this song misquote the chorus ALL THE TIME?
  3. While some people consider these lyrics "dumb," I think they are incredibly advances for kids. The song is about relationships and how you'll have so many of them in your lifetime, but so few left at the end. It's about holding on to the ones who really matter. How many kids think about that kind of thing? About how many friends you'll have when you're old and gray? Most of us didn't think about that as 8 year olds.
