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!

WATCH IT HERE!

Thanks!

Coolio video.

& to quote PoopPoopFart: "What the hell? At what point did Hanson become awesome?"

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!

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"

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!

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!
