Wherein I apologize To Jim Henson
My neice: I looooove the Jonas Brothers.
Me: Ack. Isn't that just Hanson v2.0?
My neice: You mean the guy who created the muppets?
Me: Nevermind.
And if you have no idea who The Jonas or Hanson Brothers are, count your lucky Mmmbops.

Sadly, I know both Jonas Bros and Hansons. We have a Jonas Bros CD. *hangs head in embarrassment* It's my daughters, though. And I don't know ANY of the songs. *fingers crossed behind my back* These boys are "hot" with the tween set.
What a mix-up. Hopefully you set your niece straight on the greatness that is/was Jim Henson and isn't Hanson.
Oh my! I don't know if it's fair for someone to grow up not knowing the musical genius that was Mmmbop. Shouldn't everyone have to get that song stuck in their head from time to time?
Very cute....They were on the radio morning show I listen to last week or so. I was actually impressed. They can hold a conversation!
Huh. I'm kind of impressed that she knows who created the Muppets!
haha. They really ARE the Hansens v.2 I had never thought about it before. MMbop.
My fully grown adult co-worker LOVED Hanson. She's still in my book club and we still like to tease her about it.
Heh heh, I used to love the Hansons. I swear that is in PAST tense. I can't believe those 3 are all maried. ACK is right!
Thanks MG...now I have that song stuck in my head!
the Hansons are still going strong in Canada - or they were a summer ago. We drove through Canada to niagra falls and I swear we do-bopped all the way. :(
v2.0. hahahahahahahaha. ha.
i know WHO the jonas bros. are but, i have no clue WHAT they sing...
on the otherhand...the hansons..do wop!!
that is hilarious, btw!! the guy who created the muppets!! you're a funny chick!
xoxo
I know who they all are, but I am still laughing at this.
You are so adorable and witty.
HARSH! Sounds like a conversation I've had with my younger sister... Ack!
OmG! I just realized it, but you are so right. Their sound is just a bit "edgier" I guess. Not quite "MMMBop-ish" (OmG, Sadly? I still kind of like that song, LOL.)
:)
So funny!! I always say this around my house - nevermind! It happens more often than I would like - (*sigh*). Have a good Thursday - see ya. Kellan
I guess I'm mighty thankful right now! Speaking of The Muppets, I have a blog post to write about them. Check back tomorrow!
I knew Jim Henson. My kids still listen to what I put in without having much of an opinion yet. I will count my lucky stars for now. I lost control of the TV a long time ago. I don't want to lose control of the radio, too.
KEEP BELIEVING
Nope- not a clue who Jonas Bros or Hansons are.
I'm slightly ashamed to admit that there is one Jonas Bros song on my iPod.
But no Hanson :)
ok those jonas brothers people? Why can they never look as though they have showered?
Why is that?
I don't know Jonas Bros. but I've heard of them mentioned around. I know Hanson and don't laugh at me -I've MMMmmbopped at a certain time in my life. We have their records, posters. Blame my little sisters (look at me I'm blaming others!).
Anyway, I love Jim Henson, too - God bless his soul!
Never heard of the Jonas Brothers, but love how they turned into Jim Hanson :)

I am sad to say I know both of them too.
It was so cute, I pulled up your blog and my 2 year old said," I want to pick that flower for you mommy." (the post below). You have another fan of your photography.
Oh Lord. I feel so old when kids today don't know who the Hansen brothers are! ACK!
Sadly, I used to know every word (the intelligible ones, at least) to Mmmbop.
I was a teenager.
So sue me.
like rima said above - impressive that she knows the muppet creator.
;)
Hahahahahaha, too funny! I can see why you'd feel an apology might be in order!
Hee hee! I remember the Hansons. Love me some MMMMbop!
Wow, I don't even know who the Jonas Bros. are. Does that make me old?
ha ha ha
in my show we ask the audience what the deceased's favorite song was. one night we got "MMmmm bop" hysterical.
I'm with NW? I don't know them. And, that story? Made me laugh out loud. You are priceless, toots.
Okay, I'm wiping coffee off my already cranky keyboard! That is hilarious!
(and as a retired youth group leader, I have had similar moments!)
JOnas brothers...oh gees...Yea i have heard of them...but better than Zac Effron. He seems nice, but he looks too much like a porslen doll for me!
STOP!!! Now you're just making me feel old...knowing both of those one as a kid myself and now as a mom...all I hear is The Jonas Bros. and Hanah Montana are soooo coool! Making me OLD!! Great converstaion with your niece though just goes to show how the tables turn so quickly it wasn't but yesterday that my aunts were old, now I'M OLD!!!
Once MMMbop gets in your head...it is stuck there for days..
Thanks.A.Lot.

Heh heh - BRILLIANT (you, not her). I still like that song. No I don't. Yes I do.
*scratching my head* no clue dudette.
So, are you getting your niece a Hanson CD (or download or whatever way the kids listen to music these days)?
I know who all three are. It's odd that your niece would know Jim Henson but not Hanson...MmmBop!
roflmao.
That's hillarious!
I do not know Jonas Bros but I was in love with the Hanson brothers when I was in grades 7 and 8. Wow. lol.
Ah..Hanson! The memories... :)
I've heard the name Jonas Bros, but have no idea what they sound like. Apparantly i'm not missing much.. ??
ps: like it or not (I read your comment on marie's last post), you have been high-fived!! bwa-ha-ha-ha!!! (with my head thrown back in evil laughter):)
Oh no . . . I know both. I was an Mmmbopper. I can't lie. As for JB, they are now on the "kidz only" station, so I'm not allowed . . . I'm old.
Oh, btw, you so called it . . . this is the era of recycling . . . everything.
unfortunately i know both the jonas bros and hanson. why oh why!
I know them all. ALL. I can sing songs from them all. C is for Cookie, MMMMMBop and Year 3000 have all been stuck in my head more than once.
Now they are all stuck together.
GREAT.
I got tweens. I know. Sad that.
i feel old!!!
my guys love the jonas brothers.
weren't the muppets the best, though? my boys would have no clue about them.
have a great day!
I know of them, but *sadly* have not got the privledge of hearing them. But that's too funny. Poor Jim Henson.
Just when me done tink me got Mmmmbop outta me head foreva, you done made me catch it again!
(that's island talk...lol)
Can you believe Lil Man loves Jonas Brothers? He's only 6! Sheesh.
I do not know the Jonas Bros. But, how I know about the Hanson's is a mystery... Now the Henson's work is more known in our household...
People like the Jonas bros. make me glad I don't have girls... but I do have nieces so I certainly know of them!
Oy! The great generational divide. I feel so old! LOL!
H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S!!!
Ha! I know the Hansons but not the look-a-likes.
To her credit, she knew more about the Muppets' creator than most kids her age. She was pretty darned close! Funny story though!
