The reason I chose this song was for it's overuse of sounds such as MMMBop, Ba do Bop, etc. Writers used this term, I find, to fill in space. However sometimes these words may give the song, novel or poem the extra effect needed. In this sorry excuse for a song Hanson seems to use them due to their lack of having nothing else to say.
Oh so hold on the ones who really care In the end they'll be the only ones there When you get old and start losing your hair Can you tell me who will still care Can you tell me who will still care, oh care
Mmmbop, ba du ba dop Ba du bop, ba du ba dop Ba du bop, ba du ba dop Ba du Mmmbop, ba du ba dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose You can plant any one of those Keep planting to find out which one grows It's a secret no one knows It's a secret no one knows (repeat chorus)
