In 1997 , Hanson 's "MMMbop" spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

The brothers were 16 , 14 and 11 years old when they wrote the song.

The upbeat, do-woppy chorus is what most people remember.

But when you look up the lyrics, whoa. People are shook and sharing their feelings.

The original version of "MMMbop" was "slower and more brooding" Isaac Hanson explained that the original version wasn't landing with record companies until one saw potential in it as a hit pop song and sped it up.

Hanson is still making music and still performing their breakout hit more than 25 years later .
