Zac enjoys string theory because he doesn’t have to play as much.
What song did David Campbell first arrange for Hanson?
The worst songs ever
“It makes my ears bleed!” “It makes me feel sick!” “It makes my hair stand on end!”
These are some of the comments I received after a recent request to identify the Worst Songs Ever.
Although the 1970s is considered to be The Decade of Bad Songs (that era gave us “Run Joey Run,” “Convoy,” and “Kung Fu Fighting”), there were plenty of duds before then, and they’re still cranking them out today.
1990s music lovers had plenty to say, from Hanson’s “MmmBop” (“Mmmm..No!”), the bubblegum-flavored “Barbie Girl” (“Even Ken hates this one”), and Ricky Martin’s “Living La Vida Loca” (“I know all the words, and I’m not proud of that.”)
HANSON: Wintry Mix is exactly that!

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ho, ho, Hanson! The ’90s pop group will be taking their holiday show to Cleveland’s House of Blues on Dec. 18, along with Paul McDonald and Joshua & The Holy Rollers. Tickets go on sale on Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. on LiveNation.
The tour will include performances of holiday classics and a taste of the band’s new music from its upcoming 2020 album. (And, hopefully, the group will also throw in its greatest hit, “MMMBop.”)
Hanson has released 11 studio albums since it formed in the ’90s, including two holiday albums: 1997′s “Snowed In” and 2017′s “Finally It’s Christmas.”
“This is an exciting time for the band, with new music around the corner and more than 25-years of music behind us,” Taylor Hanson said on the band’s website.
“This tour is a collision of worlds with Christmas classics and a taste of brand new music, making for an uncommon but awesome mix,” Zac Hanson said on the band’s website.
