If you are a little bored right now...

I've posted before about my other favorite band, Hanson, a few times on here. And to be honest, I feel a little silly asking this buuut, what can it hurt right?

Basically, Hanson is hoping to have 1 million views on their YouTube video of their single "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" in the next few weeks and if they do, they're going to livestream a Christmas special.

A lot of us reaaallly want a Christmas special and also really just want to get the word out about our fave band, who have the tendency to be misconceived because of the height of their popularity in the late '90s. Really, they're a fantastic group of musicians and some of the best live performers I've ever seen and this video is SO creative and fun. It's an homage to the Blues Brothers and completely recreates the scene from Ray's Music Exchange, down to the exact choreography at times!

Sooo, if you are bored tonight, or even if you're not, please go to this link and watch this video? I do hope at least someone who might watch also enjoys it!

Thanks! :)

I've thought they were awesome for a pretty long time. They're my age, so I pretty much "grew up" with their music and they've always been way more than people make them out to be.

It definitely helped when this concert video came out in 2000 and I saw the shirt Taylor was wearing! ;)

Haha, that's ok. Unfortunately, for YouTube to count it as a view it has to be watched (they have very specific methods, apparently), but thanks!

I think I used to have a cassette of theirs. My Mom bought be Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls & a Hanson tape once. I think it was this one:

Probably! That's the one most people had first, myself included, and the one people remember them for. Crazy to think that was almost fourteen years ago, ayyyy. Fun fact: I got that CD around the same time I got The Dance! They came out only a few months apart in 1997. :)

Hahaha, same here! Or, rather, my Mom would have got the Dance. I remember it so well: She would play The Dance allllll the time. In the car, in the house on the stereo. Just all the time. That's the music I grew up with. I loved the song sweet girl and was thrilled when mom called me a "sweet girl" :D

I've never listened to their music, but that was an awesome video and an awesome song. This stuff should be played on the radio instead of all that other crap that's ruling the charts.

[HomerMcvie]

I did sound for them, 2-3 years ago. I don't remember much about the date, other than their fans were INSANE for them. Might have well been the Beatles on stage!


Memory FLASH! - in that I tend to save certain things, from moments in history, I still have this big heart shaped- "we LOVE Hanson" posterthingamabob, from that show.

Anything to do with an artist, of iconic status, I always try to save something....

The piano player (Taylor Hanson?) has turned out to have a lot more talent than I originally thought. My sister used to listen to them in the 90s. Their song 'Where's the Love' was pretty decent. This is a lot better, though.

I agree! This song has made it onto the radio a little, but independent bands have a hard time with mainstream radio.

Part of what's been fun about growing up with their music is watching THEM grow as musicians. Even when they were young, it was awesome to me that they played their own instruments, but now they're just better at it and play more of them (they switch among their instruments pretty often).

Yep, Taylor is the middle (and the one playing keys in the video). They all turned out pretty good, I think! ;)

Thanks for watching it, it makes me :)

I think it's kind of reminiscent of George Michael actually. Cool song...I hope you get your Christmas special, bucklind17 :)

[SuiteShangriLa]

That is Weird Al tearing it up! I can't not laugh every time I look at him. They actually released a "Weird Al cut" that features extra Weird Al, it's pretty hilarious: HERE (http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoId=106472834&searchid=d41961f1-4fb3-4a16-8e7b-62184494b769)

Ohhhh I LOVE me some George Michael!

[RickRobert]

Ahhh been listening to this song a lot over the past few weeks, I love Hanson! This Time Around is an amazing album :nod:

[LukeA]

If you like Hanson, you'll LOVE the Moffatts.

[bucklind17]

If you like Hanson, you'll LOVE the Moffatts.

I liked some of the Moffatts stuff back when they were popular but it's been quite a few years since they've done anything as a group. If I remember correctly, they were more of a vocal group, though I think they did play their own instruments after awhile. A few of them branched out into various music projects, I think, but I haven't really followed them (plus, I think it was mostly country music, which just isn't my thing).

This Time Around was my favorite album up until The Walk. There are a lot of great songs on that album, lots of different styles. "Hand in Hand" is one of my favorite live songs!

[bucklind17]

We are getting the Christmas special on Saturday! Even though we didn't reach the initial goal, they are being awesome and having it anyway, haha. Thanks to anyone who watched it! :)
