Today's Song of the Day

MMMBop, Hanson, 1997

Well, this is humbling. Seriously, universe? Is it really necessary to reveal my Achilles earworm? I'm nothing if not authentic -- so, yes friends, MMMBop has claimed me this morning.

Actually, I truly love everything about this song and it's super special to me. It reminds me that it's OK to like what I like and judgement be damned. There's a reason MMMBop was a pop culture phenomenon, ya know. It's a crazy good song.

This song reminds me how important it is to love and accept people just as they are. I unironically love this song and for me, it is the musical counterpart to dancing like no one is watching. After all, life is too short to play games or put on airs, y'all. Listen to the children singing about getting old -- in an MMMBop, it's gone, friends. That's just the truth out of the mouths of babes.

Don't act so surprised. Trust me, this song is way deeper and way more powerful than you ever even realized. This song is the secret language of youth. If you're listening, this song is a parenting lesson, too. Encourage your children to let their lights shine, y'all. Please.

Happy Saturday!
