For today’s Song Lyric Sunday, Jim asked us to pick songs with nonsense lyrics. I have picked a song that had a really catchy section that still floats around my brain years after it was in the charts…and it did pretty well as far as I know.
Hanson were this cute trio of brothers. They released a track called “Mmmbop” and you may notice there are a hell of a lot of mmmbops throughout the song.
The song was written by Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson.
