With what event was the Members Only Event born?
Remember the 90s band Hanson, made up of three brothers with really long hair and typically baggy 90s clothes? Who sang the song MMMBop?
Sure you do (hot take: MMMBop is the perfect song):
Now, however, the brothers have all grown up. Their once-blonde, once-flowing locks are shades darker and shorter. Their clothes actually fit them. And you know what they’re doing? Singing the national anthem at minor league baseball games.
The Hansons are from Tulsa, so I guess it makes sense that they’d sing for the Tulsa Drillers, a Double-A affiliate of the L.A. Dodgers.
And you know what? They sound good. The harmonies are wild. They put arguably more heart into this one version of the national anthem than most people put into their entire lives. The crowd loves it — look at those people with their hands over their hearts, soaking in the melodious tones.
The only thing that would’ve made this better is if they’d psyched out the crowd by starting with the National Anthem and then switching gears:
“Ooooh say can you—MMMBop, bee ee doo dow doo opp, dooby dow dow dooo oop…”
Anyway, moral of the story is: long live Hanson. Hanson forever.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Hansons have a craft beer companycalled the Hanson Brothers Beer Co. and their IPA is called Mmmhops.
The ’90s was a strange and beautiful decade. AOL screen names were the norm (once you finally got a modem, that is) and, if you wanted to buy music, you had to physically get it at an actual store. Crazy, right? Some of that music you bought, though, may have been some of the weirdest ’90s songs ever, because hey, you didn’t know better back then. The decade gave us infectious pop beats that accompanied songs about thongs and peaches, lyrics about not liking Chinese food, and just being too sexy for your shirt.
The ’90s also provided so many unforgettable pop stars: Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, and N Sync, just to name a few. But then there are some of the, ahem, weirder ones. Some artists were one hit wonders, with bizarre hits like OMC’s “How Bizarre” or “Summer Girls” By LFO. A few of the songs didn’t only sound weird, but had equally strange music videos to accompany the single, like Aqua’s “Barbie Girl.” And then there are songs that live in infamy, but I still have no idea what the lyrics mean, like Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” and Hanson’s “MMMBop.”
So let’s go back in time and relive the weird, yet wonderful music of the ’90s, one strange song at a time.
5. “MMMBop” By Hanson
The infamous unintelligible hit by the Hanson brothers, who were so young and long-haired in the ’90s.
Hanson takes the field to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Tulsa Drillersminor league baseball game against theArkansas Travelers at ONEOK Field on Saturday (May 14) in Tulsa, OK.
The brothers – Taylor, Zac, and Isaac – are Tulsa natives and performed a beautiful three-part harmony rendition of the National Anthem.
“Singing the National Anthem tonight at the @TulsaDrillers game! Hope to see you all here! -ITZ,” they tweeted earlier in the day.
Watch the video of Hanson singing below!

If you’re reading this and you were alive in 1997, you probably remember the pop band Hanson. You know, the three brothers with long hair. “MMMBop”!
Well, Isaac, Taylor and Zac are all grown up now and still making music. The guys, who are from Tulsa, Oklahoma, recently performed the national anthem before a Tulsa Drillers minor league baseball game, and it was the equivalent of getting to watch Mike Trout play at Triple-A on a rehab assignment.
And in case you weren’t alive in 1997, or you were but you’re still unclear on who Hanson is … “MMMBop”.

Tulsa-based band RVRB is set to open The Hop Jam Music and Beer Festival’s main stage, with five bands selected to fill Guthrie Green with music on May 22.
RVRB will kick off the day’s music on the Main Stage with music at 3 p.m. May 22. New this year, the runner-ups in the Tulsa World Opening Band Contest will play all day on Guthrie Green. Those bands are Groucho, Nightingale, Nicnos, The Young Vines and Sam Westhoff.
The acts are all the top vote getters in the contest, which ended voting Friday. There were 70 bands from across the state that entered the contest. That number was narrowed to 12 by Hanson, and the final six were selected by fans. More than 5,000 votes were cast in the contest.
All music during The Hop Jam is free. After RVRB kicks off music on the main stage, the festival will feature music from Chase Kerby & the Villains, John Moreland, X Ambassadors, Albert Hammond Jr. and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
RVRB formed recently with their first live show this year. Led by Cameron Mitchell, the band is made up of Nick Livingston, Josh Kluge, Ben Blount and Daniel Jones. An EP, “Faded,” was released last year.
The Hop Jam is free to attend for the music festival, with special packages for early access to the beer festival side. Packages start at $35 with $150 for the Craft Beer VIP ticket. More information about tickets and the festival is at thehopjam.com. A music VIP ticket is also available for access to air conditioning and concert seating.
The Hop Jam was established by Hanson in 2014 and expanded to include more beer and music each year. More than 20 brewers are expected to attend this year.
Hanson will also be selling raffle tickets to win a custom-made guitar shaped like a hop, created in Tulsa’s Fab Lab with proceeds benefiting the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.
The 2000 tour cover that was a challenge to perform was Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me”
What food confuses Zac because it doesn’t taste like cheese, but is cheese?
