Tueful Tuesday - MMMBop by Hanson

I've just discovered Spotify and am a little bit addicted to reviving all my songs of yesteryear without having to turn out my CD collection.  One of my favourite playlists is called "Songs to Sing in the shower" and among some of my tween favourites featured was Hanson's MMMBop .... it was one of the first singles I bought in 1997 (when i was a little tween of 15, wow that was a lonnggggggg time ago).

It's one of those proper earworm songs so if you don't want to be singing it for the rest of the day look away now!!




Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah
Oh
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care?
Oh care

Keep planting to find out which one grows
