I am am emergency room nurse and I play this song at the beginning of every shift and sometimes in the middle and end!! It puts a smile on my face and lifts my spirits everytime I listen. I really can't get enough! Please produce more of these with the same group! You guys are spectacular together! So upbeat!! Thank you for your gift of music!
I'm not the biggest Taylor swift fan, but I did enjoy his rendition of look what you made me do with the mission impossible theme music. Post modern jukebox has some good renditions of songs.
I still remember the first time I was introduced to their work. It's fabulous and it doesn't loose a bit of its appeal in the long run. Scott Bradlee is a genius and he is surrounded by nothing but talent. Enjoy it.
Welcome to the club... some of the best of the best postmodern jukebox it brought a lot of people here was Creep after Brian Justin Crum and Crazy by Gnarls Barkley is so camp you won't believe it.. even Wayne Brady sings a thriller by Michael Jackson cover. Just a hoot. And You're gonna have a ball
Okay, how come every single person in this video is a musical genius??? Everything about the arrangement is bloody perfect. The harmonies, the different leads, the doo-doos in the background, the funky piano player, the steady beat, the AMAZING high notes of the leftmost guy. Not to mention that everyone looks like they are having the time of their lives. This is what music is supposed to look and sound like! Congrats guys, you killed it!!
Yes, the left-most guy has an amazing range. But can we all take a moment to appreciate the sheer joy emanating from the right-most singing fella! His smile and his dancing just are so lovely! To have the most fun in the room at a PMJ session with this many (shiny) happy people is truly an achievement! :D
OH MY GOODNESS! Hello Kenton, I can't even begin to tell you how stunned I am to have one of you fabulous guys reply! I'll go check that out right away! Are you boys planning on doing any more epic quartet work in the future may I ask?
Just a shout out to Scott Bradlee for not only great piano playing but for arranging all the PMJ music to all the different styles and making them work brilliantly! That takes talent! Plus bringing in all the singers and dancers and yes, the tambourine guy! These videos are as much fun to watch as they are to just listen to. Thank you.
It's great and all but seriously, it could have used a little tambourine. You know, like a guy playing the tambourine. A sort of a "Tambourine guy", if you will. On second thoughts, maybe not. The world is not ready for THAT much energy.
I love how you took them up on their challenge! This is a fantastic cover :) metro.co.uk/2016/03/22/hanson-say-youve-been-singing-mmmbop-all-wrong-and-were-not-surprised-5769278/
The left-most guy, holy guacamole! How can such a range come from such a small body? I also may have fallen in love with the one next to him, that voice ♡.♡
Kenton will always be my favourite thing about this cover, but I also love 3:19 when they all react and are surprised and just show how much fun they're all having.
My advice to you and Luke is....get content on your channel. Follow Sara Neimitz lead and make videos, one after another. get content on Itunes. What's the hold up?
That's basically what the Hanson song is. Music doesn't come out of a vacuum. Kudos to PMJ for making those structural connections with so many of these songs.
I love how Kenton sings the lowest AND highest notes although the guy on the furthest right is absolutely amazing like he looks so happy and cheerful 😊 xxx
Aron Mattes honestly I can’t remember, but if it wasn’t live then no. It looks like the bass might have, but his fingering didn’t change, so he would have only doubled one note. I think we talked about doubling and decided not to
Postmodern Jukebox FLOORS me with these covers. ALL OF THEIR SINGERS ARE WORLD CLASS and the Scott's old skool arrangement of these modern songs is literally genius level musicianship. BRILLIANT doesn't even begin to describe their work.
There's something great about good musicians that feeds the soul of those who would like to but cannot produce that sound. Grateful for those who can and do.
Not only is this cover awesome in and of itself, but this take on the song is especially perfect because the inspiration for the mmmbop chorus did in fact come from '50s doowop :D So many people think that mmmbop is just some silly, nonsensical song, and I'm always like "no, it's really not- the lyrics have meaning, and the chorus is just the way it is because the Hansons grew up on a lot of '50s music and had a lot of doowop influence!" So yeah, I love this cover and feel like it would be very much Hanson-approved ^__^
I Stan anything with Mario Jose!!! His voice is everything! Check out him and Scott Hoying (of Pentatonix) sing a cover of 'Lost on You.' It's just... WOW.
For what it's worth, if you've only ever heard the studio version from 1997, I highly recommend checking out what the Hanson version sounds like these days :) : th-cam.com/video/-GPffhQtfGI/w-d-xo.html They're an amazing band, and it's a dang impressive song, especially considering they wrote it when Taylor was only 11 or 12 years old! I think a lot of people just never gave it (and them as a band) a real chance since they couldn't get beyond the made up word - which, fun fact: the chorus was in fact inspired by their having grown up on a lot of late '50s doowop! - and the pre-pubescent voices with shiny pop production haha.
All four of these guys are fantastic. I watch this video all the time and to see them perform just lifts me up. Kenton, Luke, Matt and Mario, you are having so much fun with this, you should sing together more often!
These guys are great...would like to see more of them together! The range of Kenton Chen is unbelievable...not sure there is any note (high or low) he can’t hit. 👍🎶😎
I honestly wanna see these guys do a cover of "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by the Four Seasons. I don't why, but I also want to see them do a Doo Wop or Barbershop Quartet version of Sussudio by Phil Collins. Like for real I have no idea why that comes to mind but it could be cool. lol.
Oh yes I wish I could do a Christmas special but you could never not even 2 hours cover their music and all their eggs that's why I wish that was on PBS just have a whole day of them wow
One of THE best, and definitely my favourite PMJ cover. This is truly beautiful and I am so happy you took the time and did this. *Applauds and hugs every PMJ member and all the fans*
One of the many I love about PMJ is their obvious love/reverence for the original songs they work with and I'll bet it's now a matter of kudos for an artist/band to be chosen for the PMJ treatment. I love Hanson, particularly mature Hanson and I bet they love this!
That moment when you want to comment as a joke about how the tiny guy is the bass in the group...and then you realize he actually is. This humble pie isn't as bitter as I'd thought it'd be.
i turn 23 tomorrow. and ive just found you. i am so in love with all the work done here. i wish every song ever made was like this. its my favorite kind of music. watching this makes me so happy. cant wait for ur show in perth wa. i shall definitely attend.
His range though. First I wasn't expecting the smallest guy to be doing the lowest lines. Yes I know some of the smaller guys can get down to the basement, but still. He makes it seem so effortless. Maybe for him it is. I would say baritone (not sure) to that high tenor? Amazing. And then at 2:45 going from that high right back to the bottom. Wow!
Dear PMJ,
Please bring this quartet back in the future.
Sincerely,
Everyone
I was thinking the same thing. I really do love how well they work together, and they seemed to have a lot of fun doing it.
AGREED
Hear, hear!
Pretty please!!! I need more of this, like the male Andrew’s Sister’s. 😍
Yeah Baby pizza yeah
The short guy has quite an amazing range - pretty damn impressive!
yes he does indeed! where did it come frommm
He is Kenton Chen, check him out on Season 2 of the Sing-Off! :D
I had the exact same thought - incredible range!
...seriously dude?
I got it from my mama ;-)
I am am emergency room nurse and I play this song at the beginning of every shift and sometimes in the middle and end!! It puts a smile on my face and lifts my spirits everytime I listen. I really can't get enough! Please produce more of these with the same group! You guys are spectacular together! So upbeat!! Thank you for your gift of music!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your service. May your days be filled with joy, happiness and more amazing music like this one! Cheers 💖✨
I feel the same. Still a legendary version, eh?!!!
I'm literally a Nurse listening to this at the end of my shift 😅
How inappropriate. Thank you
❤❤❤
Waaaittttt....the guy on the far left is doing the bass AND hitting the highest notes?! What range he has! Very talented.
Kenton is crazy talented. I would sell my soul to be half so good.
I'm not the biggest Taylor swift fan, but I did enjoy his rendition of look what you made me do with the mission impossible theme music. Post modern jukebox has some good renditions of songs.
I want to know where he puts all those bass notes. Not much room down there.
Watch the guy on the left. The control he exerts over his voice and the range of notes he covers pretty much flawlessly is spellbinding.
2:38
hes crazy. he sings the base line and suddenly switches super high over everyone else XD
@Paul Legge yes.
You aren't lyin'!
It’s Kenton Chen, he does a great job
did Kenton Chen really hold down the low AND high parts?! LEGEND
Thank you!!
Wow, Kenton...I remember you from the Sing Off but I didn't know you had that kind of range! Great job!
Kenton Chen is by far my favourite of the male singers in PMJ! He's just got so much damn talent!!
Asian guys are soo hot
He has the range, darling
These four could do an amazing cover of Billy Joel's "For the longest time"
Oh I would cry at that!! In a good way!
Yes indeed.
YESSSSSSS
Yes! I would highly recommend that!
But... that's already a doo-wop song!
just discovered all this PostmodernJukebox stuff.... I think i found my new favorite thing
welcome to the rabbit hole
since christmas is getting near, they should do more of popular christmas songs like All I Want for Christmas vintage
I still remember the first time I was introduced to their work. It's fabulous and it doesn't loose a bit of its appeal in the long run. Scott Bradlee is a genius and he is surrounded by nothing but talent. Enjoy it.

They really “lived it,” let’s try that for great instead of “killed it “ and yes they did.
@@ButterflyTwinkle1968 Naw they totally killed it. Idk what you're talking about
THIS makes me SO happy!!!
Kenton Chen is back and still fabulous
thank you!
You scored some points with this performance bud....it's a Kenton Love Chenfest.
WE LOVE YOU YOU'RE SO COOL
@@KentonChen have you ever tried shattering a glass with your high end?
Yes, the left-most guy has an amazing range. But can we all take a moment to appreciate the sheer joy emanating from the right-most singing fella! His smile and his dancing just are so lovely! To have the most fun in the room at a PMJ session with this many (shiny) happy people is truly an achievement! :D
Mario Jose is amazing! He has a Kickstarter right now for his new album Heart Of Gold!
OH MY GOODNESS! Hello Kenton, I can't even begin to tell you how stunned I am to have one of you fabulous guys reply! I'll go check that out right away! Are you boys planning on doing any more epic quartet work in the future may I ask?
+OverEnglishMan I sure hope so!
Brilliance, sheer brilliance! Also, enormous props you to for taking the time out to reply to comments, means the world to all of us /salute
I find it a bit amusing that the smallest guy out there is the bass...... ;o)
Tiny man with glasses, you are the best. Please sit on my shoulder and sing to me when I'm bummed. I will pay you in snacks.
i am strongly considering this because i'm always hungry
omg yes. I totally feel the same.
+Kenton Chen dude i bet you could do an amazing cover of sherry by frankie valley
I AGREE WITH THIS--
+ace d yesssss! he would kill it. now i reaaaally want to hear him do it.
Rediscovering this as I go through old playlists. I can't really describe how much Kenton Chen's vocals make me shiver! What a freaking treasure!
yup
Chen is absolutely
The Man.
The range he has on his voice is phenomenal!
Just a shout out to Scott Bradlee for not only great piano playing but for arranging all the PMJ music to all the different styles and making them work brilliantly! That takes talent! Plus bringing in all the singers and dancers and yes, the tambourine guy! These videos are as much fun to watch as they are to just listen to. Thank you.
Thx to Hanson for sharing this!! You can DL it on iTunes here: smarturl.it/pmjbop
Guys! This song/cover is amazing!!!! One of the best you've done! Loving the happy bouncy energy from these guys :D
It's great and all but seriously, it could have used a little tambourine. You know, like a guy playing the tambourine. A sort of a "Tambourine guy", if you will.
On second thoughts, maybe not. The world is not ready for THAT much energy.
I love how you took them up on their challenge! This is a fantastic cover :) metro.co.uk/2016/03/22/hanson-say-youve-been-singing-mmmbop-all-wrong-and-were-not-surprised-5769278/
more cowbell
+nunya biznis correction: more tambourine
The left-most guy, holy guacamole! How can such a range come from such a small body? I also may have fallen in love with the one next to him, that voice ♡.♡
Luke Edgemon is very dreamy!
Where's the tongue emoji when you need it?
+Luke Edgemon 😝
+Luke Edgemon 😛😜😝😋
Kenton Chen
The short guy with glasses is the best ensemble singer ive ever seen in terms of keeping the energy flowing. Hes awesome. more of him please!
Kenton will always be my favourite thing about this cover, but I also love 3:19 when they all react and are surprised and just show how much fun they're all having.
Dear Scott Bradley and the PMJ team, thank you for continuing to help me find joy in songs I have otherwise always hated :)
Kenton is legit!!
thank you so much!!
+Kenton Chen Kenton, you da bomb!
My advice to you and Luke is....get content on your channel. Follow Sara Neimitz lead and make videos, one after another. get content on Itunes. What's the hold up?
+Dave Stone I gotta work! Yes yes I will get cracking
That's basically what the Hanson song is. Music doesn't come out of a vacuum. Kudos to PMJ for making those structural connections with so many of these songs.
You'll have to come over sometime so I can play my vacuum for you...
Makes me wonder who is younger than the Hanson version.
This 💯
Kenton makes me feel like everything is going to be ok
Yes same!!
Well said!
If you only know the weight of your words back then
Dude`s got a great voice for sure
Love, love, love Kenton! 💘
2:44 I love Kenton's "Ba dum dum dum"
The sound is only 70% or so of enjoying a PMJ piece. The obvious FUN the performers are having together can't be missed.
1:47 is absolutely incredible. Have listened to that part at least 100 times. Impeccable :0
Wow, awesome! Every single one of the voices was a pleasant surprise when their solo part was up!
thx! it's on iTunes here: smarturl.it/pmjbop
Cover of earth wind and fire - September pls.
i suggested the same about almost a year ago, still waiting lol
Yeah
Yessssssssss
Yes, please!
YASSS
I suffer from clinical depression and this has me absolutely in hysterics 🤣 thanks you delightful beings, God bless yas 🥲
As a life long Hanson fan, I just wanna say this is fn amazing!! And yes I’m just hearing it for the first time lol. Great job💜
This brings me back..........I can't stop smiling THANK YOU!
We're happy to make you happy :) Here's another one for you! th-cam.com/video/pXYWDtXbBB0/w-d-xo.html
I love how Kenton sings the lowest AND highest notes although the guy on the furthest right is absolutely amazing like he looks so happy and cheerful 😊 xxx
Louise Mills thanks! ♥️♥️
@@KentonChen you're welcome xxx
@@KentonChen At 2:44 after the cool falsetto "rose" when you walk the line back down is there something doubling you an octave down?

There's something great about good musicians that feeds the soul of those who would like to but cannot produce that sound. Grateful for those who can and do.
Kenton Chen has such an fantastic and diverse voice.
Thank you so much!
The left-most guy's voice is incredible, reminds me of Michael Buble.
Same type of sound!
Kenton is awesome!
Have you ever heard Tuukka Haapaniemi? He've got god-like bass!
+PostmodernJukebox will you come in France ?
thank you so much!!!
haha you deserve the compliment!
Is this heaven? My ears and brain are so happy oh my gosh
+
Kenton's voice is just amazing.
Add me as one who has a limited tolerance for doo wop. Yet these guys will keep me listening for along time. Very nice listening.
Can we please get these four to do doo-wop covers more often!! This is just incredible!
Kenton Chen is a force of nature! Falsetto to deep down bass in one smooth move!
Not only is this cover awesome in and of itself, but this take on the song is especially perfect because the inspiration for the mmmbop chorus did in fact come from '50s doowop :D So many people think that mmmbop is just some silly, nonsensical song, and I'm always like "no, it's really not- the lyrics have meaning, and the chorus is just the way it is because the Hansons grew up on a lot of '50s music and had a lot of doowop influence!"

Great post.
Stephanie L exactly ❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How often are you talking to people about Hanson? I'm thinking its too much...
i really loved that album "middle of nowhere". all songs are great.
Extremely true. I've always liked the song, but only looked up its lyrics last year and was amazed by how much they meant to me.
Wow! I have never heard such an amazing cover as this
I Stan anything with Mario Jose!!! His voice is everything!
Check out him and Scott Hoying (of Pentatonix) sing a cover of 'Lost on You.' It's just... WOW.
Fantastic.The chime vocals at 1:48 are just glorious!
Estos son unos bestias!
The shorter Asian man was AMAZING! *magically gives 137 thumbs up*
haha thank you!!
+Kenton Chen it was incredible, such an enormous register!
Yep, you were the highlight of the video for me! Awesome range and vocal skills, Kenton! I hope to see you in more PMJ vids soon!
Absolutely amazing job!
+Bandersnatch Rider yep, great falsetto!
I'm glad these boys did something together and it lives forever on the Internet.
Far Out Man! These guys are Too Much! Dig It Daddy! Seriously, one Fantastic performance! If I could dance, I'd have done it with this song!
Get these guys to cover Four Seasons!
Now that would be something!
a Jersey Boys medley would make my life
a Jersey Boys medley would make my life
Or Four Freshmen
Please make it happen!
I love how Kenton bursted out laughing at 3:21 :)) so sweet
This looks like the most fun anyone has had on here
unless you count tambourine guy
For 20+ years, anyone could have told me that I could listen to MMMbop and like it, and I would have thought they were crazy. That all changed today.
For what it's worth, if you've only ever heard the studio version from 1997, I highly recommend checking out what the Hanson version sounds like these days :) : th-cam.com/video/-GPffhQtfGI/w-d-xo.html

If I could give this 1000 thumbs up I would. All have amazing voices, but Kenton's range is phenomenal!
Kenton Chen slayed his solo! I love this video. i Love y'all!
The part I love most about this song is all four guys get a chance to shine!
So that's how Hanson's Mmmbop would sound like in the vintage 50's. Such a pearl🤩
Affection and admiration from Great Britain, you really are our cup of tea chaps.
Kenton Chen and Mario Jose give me life
is it just me, or is Kenton hitting an A1 in the chorus, and then later the tenor part?! what a beast!
That harmony... And those chime vocals! Bring these guys back, PLEASE!!!
Very very very good, fantastic. !!!
The little guy sure is versatile. Love them 👍🏻👏🏻🌟🎤‼️
This is 💯!!AWES🤩ME!!💯
Songs got me and the wife swing dancing throuout the house!! I told her i feel 10 yrs old again lol, great cover!!
So Epic. you guys are effing great!!!
Kenton Chen, take a bow. Amazing vocal performance!
Kenton Chen's voice is AMAZING!!!! 🤩
It's time to let Mr. Kenton Chen have a solo, please??? He is very talented and full of contagious energy and charisma.
I honestly wanna see these guys do a cover of "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by the Four Seasons.
I don't why, but I also want to see them do a Doo Wop or Barbershop Quartet version of Sussudio by Phil Collins. Like for real I have no idea why that comes to mind but it could be cool. lol.
Yes. Please. Yes to this.
under-rated comment!
Oh yes I wish I could do a Christmas special but you could never not even 2 hours cover their music and all their eggs that's why I wish that was on PBS just have a whole day of them wow
Yeah, all those songs are influenced by doowop.
Last "whoaa-whoaa" was awesome❤🔥, so funny😂
Absolutely fantastic! I never get tired of listening to this. You guys have such great energy and brilliant voices! 🙂👍🙏
You breathed new life into this song, man.
There is never, ever a moment when this does not bring me joy. Love this quartet!!
did anyone else cry?this is just beautiful
Brings so much memories in just a different way.. Mixed feelings.. Feel like dancing
Whenever I'm down I watch this and I just instantly feel better
-Yeahhh they fkn kill it! Great! Sounds like an actual shot outta the late 50's, dig it! I can rock to this all day!
My boys! How many thumbs up can I give this? :)
Also, what is Kenton Chen's range? Damn!
Three. Two in real life, one on TH-cam.
+kevin wyatt hahaha. Thanks guys!
In this video it's 3 1/2 octaves

This humble pie isn't as bitter as I'd thought it'd be.
John Waggoner hahaha I'll take it!
John Waggoner o
Technically he’s a baritone but yeah.
Not only is he doing the low notes, he's also doing a lot of the high notes. The control that tiny guy has over his voice is absolutely phenomenal.
Yasss Kenton Chen and Mario Jose both slay my life
sllllaaayyy haha thank you!
DLC is a treasure! Acting, movement, voice, she’s got it all!
One of my favorite PMJ videos/songs of all time, to this day. If I need a pick me up I'll listen to this and it never fails to make me smile.
i turn 23 tomorrow. and ive just found you. i am so in love with all the work done here. i wish every song ever made was like this. its my favorite kind of music. watching this makes me so happy.
cant wait for ur show in perth wa. i shall definitely attend.
Happy birthday....4 years later!!! So happy 27th sometime this year or should I say ALL YEAR!!
I am 100% here for this. 4 part harmonies are my weakness.
i want more of the guy on the right :) love his voice, and he has such a nice smile :)
Right?! I think I fell in love with him a little bit when he did his solo
the guy to the left is soooo amazing OMG such a wonderful voice!!! unbelievable!
now that is a snappy version of mmmbop!
Amazing. And they do the original vocals and harmonies justice. Just beautiful. Incredible job! Long live Hanson! Long live post modern jukebox
