They "MMMBop"-ped their way into America's heart amid the Boy Band Offensive of the '90s. Power-popping their way thru its follow-up, Bowling For Soup adds some punch'n'crunch two dozen years later!
As always Brad, a deep dive into yet another pool I didn't know about. Paradoxically, I immediately recognized "Where's the love", though I had no idea who did it. I guess I had the radio on. I did search out MMMBop because, after the shade you threw on it, I just had to. I did not recognize it but see your point!
I will say that as adults, it's Taylor that stands above his brothers, in terms of his musical diversity and open-mindedness. His work as lead singer with the supergroup Tinted Windows rose above any claims of novelty.
Tinted Windows, sadly, was a one-and-done, but what a band!
James Iha - guitarist of Smashing Pumpkins
Bun E. Carlos - drummer of Cheap Trick (well, ex-drummer - as Rick Neilsen's son Daxx has been the drummer since 2010)
Taylor Hanson - vocals
and
Adam Schelssinger (R.I.P.) - Fountains of Wayne, Ivy, countless songs for other artists, on bass and backing vocals
I am so glad that the Hanson brothers grew up much better looking than the Hudsons. Oof the mustache and poofy hair and wide lapel look hasn't aged well. But I'm being Shallow Steve.
The level of your puns is reaching stratospheric levels. I can no longer play in this sport from my amateur ranking!:) Before the body of the piece you've already used the wonderful "boy band offensive" and "humble big innings." And I've already stolen (I mean borrowed) your previous Santaclaustrophobia.
And then you save the best for (almost) last: "CentralTrack.com was beside themselves in June 2021, covering the new cover song Bowling For Soup covered: The coverers dutifully covering, and with the coverees themselves!"
I was wondering if you were going to mention the band Bowling For Soup in this expose and you did!
And then you taught me a whole bunch about not just their band name being from a Hanson song but then inviting Hanson to perform on the cover of a Hanson song! Meta-meta-morphosis!

I still play their self-titled album regularly.
