1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Hanson were arguably ''the'' TeenPop group of TheNineties, and they're no slouches in making pop music today. |
2 | ** ''Middle Of Nowhere'' is chock full of great pop music: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHozn0YXAeE [=MmmBop=]]]" and to a lesser extent, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtIgqqyUBcM Where's The Love]]" were big singles for a good reason; they're basically a white Jackson 5 with an AlternativeRock kick to them. And if you think those are catchy, check out the album's hidden track, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A85ZUs2Wfw Man From Milwaukee]]"! |
3 | ** "Penny & Me," widely considered to be the single where Hanson [[GrowingTheBeard both literally and figuratively grew up]] and proved that they could hold their own as a rock band plenty well despite their OneHitWonder label. |
4 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_dJhtspu4 This Time Around.]]" The piano build into a soulful chorus has incredible impact, and it's a shame this song isn't better remembered. |
5 | ** Of course, there's ''the'' de facto proof that Hanson's StillGotIt as grownups: the absolutely boss dance track "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmG0DqhfDbY Thinking 'Bout Something.]]" |
6 | ** 'I was Born' is a really good sing-along. |
7 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBWRCihnWFU "Save Me"]] played in a popular Brazilian soap opera, and is thus their biggest hit in the country after "[=MmmBop=]" (in that link alone, 90% or more of the comments are in Portuguese!). |
8 | * NeverLiveItDown: |
9 | ** Part of why their more recent, more mature work is limited to niche appeal is... well, they started out with "[=MmmBop=]." |
10 | ** From 2020 onwards, the band attracted a more notorious reputation when [[https://www.vulture.com/2020/11/hanson-fans-hansongate-explained.html "Hansongate"]] happened, where many fans criticized one of the band members for posting anti-BLM and anti-COVID memes on their Pinterest page and another for making anti-COVID posts on their Instagram page, with even mods on the bands official sub-reddit calling them out for their poor behavior and with many former-fans swearing off the band forever as a result of their disturbing viewpoints. |
11 | * SignatureSong: "[=MmmBop=]". |
12 | * SweetnessAversion: Most of their work consists of upbeat SillyLoveSongs. |
13 | * ViewerGenderConfusion: Not a few straight males mistook them for girls in the "[=MmmBop=]" video, leading to some embarrassing moments later on. |
