Lyrics:
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
But both girl and boy were glad
Cause one kid had it worse than that
Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there - Hudba
When the music is worth it, no matter how much time passes, people always come back here to hear it
It's that special, it really speaks on the human condition. The musicianship is very tasteful, I cry every time I listen to this song.
@@Matthew-qk1xi Wow 👏😃
Wow… trip down memory lane. What an era for music.
Long live the 90’s
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal CZcams performances of "Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS in tribute to 2 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out & stay safe in the '020s.
The last great decade of music
Right? The 90's were there for, in case you missed the 70's. Terrific, terrible century.
@@glennbasilii552 Early to mid-00s were still pretty great.
@@willritter4076I'll give it a listen
More proof of just how great music was back in the '90s.
Last decade of organic art, now it's all scripted. And you only get in if you play by the rules. Piss.
Couldn't agree with you more. Though they stopped making music for me long ago, I still listen to "Top Forty" stations, and it's all songs by young women about how awful their ex-boyfriends are, or guys wailing about how they will die if a certain girl breaks up with them. @@larryfishbone4163
I miss it. Was an amazing time for music. Probably, in my opinion, the best
It might not have all been great, but it was real.
Everything about this video is just simply beautiful. The way it was shot, colors, mood, acting. Bless the 90s
i had the vinyl,and still listen it through my soinber REGA RP1 PP
Fact: The only song with no vowels in the song title to reach #1 on the charts.
There was the Weird Al version called Headline News.
May you be blessed by a thousand black suns
It peaked at #4.
Not true at all
No way this hit # 1
On a Crash Test Dummies rabbit hole, man the 90's gave us real variety in music eh?
Welcome back. 😢
Yeah it really did. Music just isn’t the same and We didn’t realize how good we had it. It’s nice to go down memory lane and feel nostalgic though.

I'm a dude born in the late 90s who grew up in the 2000s and 2010s. Much of the music I first fell in love with were made in the 90s, but obviously I didn't experience the culture of the decade and its sound; I'm just a music snob.
But I've never heard this song until I stumbled on this video by complete accident. I keep coming back to it, and it induces such a nostalgia and a sweet melancholy. There's something special about it; the relatability a lot of us share in the comments I think is a strong symptom of that.
I hear you.I was 14 in 1993 growing up in Ireland.Lying awake listening to this on the radio at 3am on warm summer nights is a very special memory to me.
That gum you like is coming back in style 😀 that quote of you don’t know it is more genius
I was 15 from Ireland too great times then and we didn't even know how good we had it
The feel typifies the 90s
Your going to well in life my bro x
Your inquisitive passionate n smart x
One of the coolest things in life is to discover yourself through art and experience.
Then refine your character xx 333
The drums and bass in this is superb.
Yep. Lot going on in this. ❤
Agree, underrated rhythm section.
"well excuse me Mr. Perfect!!! I forgot you never made a mistake" iconic line from an iconic song.
Home! I'm WALKING home!
*iconic movie.
It took a solid minute of scrolling to reach a dumb and dumber reference.
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber...you go and do something like this.....AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!
You know Lloyd, just when I think you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you do somethin’ like this………AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!! 😂😂
Musically this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music. His odd voice kind of steals the show but really listen to the music, it’s sublime.
Musically it's a technical masterclass. 👍🏻
You should listen to magnetic fields
It’s not Sublime, it’s test crash dummies
@@UnderTheBridge96 lol
Duke: Why is it odd? I loved singing when this was released and liked his rich voice.
Life peaked in the 90s
Sadly yes
Most underrated decade
We've gone too far, We cant go back... W e can never look back. our lives are half way over. it was a good time to be alive.
My husband sang the hell out of this at karaoke one night and all the people there just stared at him like he was insane. Bunch of boomers and zoomers not recognizing sheer 90’s perfection
Whats a boomer and a zoomer ? Thought s boomer was someone born from About 1970 to 1990 ? But a zoomer ???
@@livelongandprosper70 a boomer was born after WWII in the “baby boom” between 1946-1964 and zoomers born after around 1995
I just call them pukes.
You mean Millenniums ????
@@jjharmon8075 millennials? No, I’m a millennial and was in JR high when this song came out. Everyone knew this song
You have no idea how hard it is to ask Alexa to play this song
Fuck Alexa! 😆
That is such a great comment!
Throw that CIA bullshit away. No one needs Jeff Bezos listening to every word they say.
Who is this Alexa anyway?
xD
The outro of this song is so beautiful!! I wish there was an extended version of it!
totally agree, i always look forward to the end part... I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of "Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS in tribute to 2 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out & stay safe in the '020s.
This song just came on the radio while I was driving and I always have to sit and listen to the outro everytime. Pure 90’s nostalgia bliss!
There is mate , I'm sure I listened to an extended version in the 90s .
Go see them live....
should put the link czcams.com/video/SiuHPBcoaZ8/video.html (Mmm Mmm Mmm acoustic cover)
I need a pirate captain to sing this at my funeral on his accordion.
Wish granted.
Just need a silly dorky blue robot to accompany that pirate
@@Samstar369 Let's just hope my brother's arch nemesis doesn't burn down his super science compound by then. THAT would be pretty awkward. ✌
I've been humming that outro in my head for 12 years. Now it's 2024, and I FINALLY found it. Rejoice.
I'm remembering Weird Als version. LOL. I remember that Tonya Harding scene.
I don't get it. Seriously: Did you just find the internet?
There are a lot of people who could have helped you find this song sooner.
These lyrics are timeless. His iconic voice aside, there's a reason this is so memorable.
“We’ll excuse me MR. PERFECT!! I guess you’ve never made a mistake.”
Just when I think you couldn’t be any dumber…
Duuuude! I was looking for this comment. Hahah I was gonna wrote something like this but was scrolling and saw yours. I'm glad someome else is reminded of thet like I am when this song plays. Fucking hilarious bro
"HOME, I'M WALKING HOME!!"
And totally redeemed yourself 😂
You still wanna go to aspen?
Saw them at Club Regent Event Center December 21, 2023, in Winnipeg their home city. Outstanding show!!!!!!
I remember they had been called, Canada's ugliest band. People have been dissing this group forever. Now the jokes are just whatever ugly represents. I wish I'd seen them.
@@davidjoseph3403 Brad Roberts has an amazing voice (better in person/live)!
This band was my savior when this song came out in 94. I was a sophomore and bullied for being different. I heard it and thought "You know, I'll wear my weirdness on my sleeve." and played it everyday as school was letting out. Still a fan of the band to this day.
Haha nerd
@@BobPapadopoulos And damn proud of it, what's your point?
He's just messin @ladycplum, loved your comment, and good for you. I was a defender of the bullied , taught my boys to be the same, even told them the consequences of not stepping in and helping would be severe beyond there imagination, they got the point. I was a big guy, went to a small , up in the mountains school, wasn't having none of that, had my own brand of weirdness, never hid it, still don't lol 😬, but thats about everybody
Every body got a kink
Werido
I'm 67 and I still love this song. listening in UK 2020
And I am also, as of a week ago! Haven't heard this in years. Still love it too.
I'll be 59 in December and remember when this came out just rediscovered it a few days ago
I'm 63 and STILL Love this too. And The Band from 30 yrs ago plays "Out in The Country" Awesome song. 🤘💯☮️
Greetings from Argentina :)
I'm 38 great
Este es un super clásico de los 90, tremenda canción.
One more proof that non-standard, non-classic music and vocals can be fantastically captivating. The subtext in the video is also superb
Reading how much this song means to so many people make me feel less alone
Age 16: This song is weird and kind of silly
Age 44: *sobs*
Isn't it just. Can't put my finger on precisely why but *weeps*
@@MerlynMusicman It just resonates so well to people, especially kids and teenagers, that they think don't fit in. Everyone has gone through something similar at one point.
MTV played it way too much. Now I can see that it was influenced by Pearl Jam: baritone vocals singing about mistreated kids.
No, it was because of those shitty parents that infuriate me
For me, it beckons memories of better days, reminding of whats been lost.
God this music era is something beyond
You're correct in your observation. By the early 90's the music industry was desperate for new sounds, so they were willing to give a broader range of acts a chance at success. It was a wonderful time to be a teenager; so many various musical acts. I'm not sure it will ever happen again... industry has changed.
@@phukuhu7310 Después del invierno nuclear las industrias van a desaparecer, pero los clásicos de la música seguramente serán protegidos como oro.Esta canción merece ser valorada
What a lot of people's fears/insecurities are, as children, and inevitably as adults. A great song.
It's pretty crazy how every person feels this song in absolutely different way in its life. Wish your memories will be only the best during listening this song, just as me.
My only regret while watching this video is I could of meet the drummer, but was having an extremely lazy day. Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.
No one knows our hearts better than certain songs.
Well said! ❤️
C'est mignon !
Well said .👍
Wow, what a thing to say!!! I want to remember that, thank you!!!! X
UU la
HELLO to all the ppl who FINALLY REMEMBERED this greatness from when you were YOUNG!!!
I remember it from a time of great joy and youth. Take care !
We were built different then today's society
@@hoots02you’re darn tootin’ chief.
Greatness?! Gtfoh.
30 years later and still my top 3 favorite and and it's still just as emotional a song to me as it was then.
The performance by the bass player on this song is lovely. Doesn't over-play or under play and knows exactly when to be melodic and when to just let the music breathe.
The whole band is great, but that bass line is **chefs kiss**
He's very good. I like good things. He is good things.
Absolutely spot on.
So true I can hear it now that you've pointed it out.
Which is why I am going to learn it.
This is one of those “you just had to have been there” songs. The 90’s was such an amazing time for music.
Sorry to break it to you, but the 90's wasn't such an amazing time for music. We're there some great songs? Ofc. Overall, not a great decade.
@@danwilliams1920 Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgraden, Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Portishead, Garbage, Depeche Mode, U2, Nirvana, Green Day, Bestie Boys, Metallica, Tool. Yeah none of them released anything good in the 90’s 🤷🏽♂️

@@WHR17 🤘😗💿 that's a grungey CD collection!!
🤔 ..I miss my Airwalks..
The only chorus that you can sing in any language!
Top song.
I'd argue that the chorus to Lithium also falls into that category or maybe "Yeah!" is technically English🤔
I'm 64yo and have been lucky with growing up with the 70s and 80s music. In the 90s life priorities didn't allow me to fully appreciate that era new talents and I may have heard this song on the radio, but didn't listen at it as it deserves. Nowdays, with youtube I'm catching up and discovering it and what a masterpiece it is. I can't stop to replay it again and again. Beside the kids stories, it is the music, the voices and harmonies and the rithmn that captivate me. Surely one of the best song I regret missing in the 90s. Who knows maybe I may had the opportunity to see them live back then. Too bad.
Hey Giorgio they're playing in Milan in October. I just saw an ad for their tour here in Ireland and came to watch the video.
@@ByrneMJames That is the city I come from. Thanks mate, very good news!! I will tell my brother to not missing their performance, but I will miss it as I'm currently living in Australia. Very appreciated it.
@@giorgioclavelli1757 ah well. I had a look there and there are no Australian dates yet. Ive my fingers crossed for you here.
@@ByrneMJames Thank you buddy!
This songs gives me the biggest kick of all 90s songs on the nostalgia scale. I love it but feel sad at the same time.
That’s because the boomers screwed it all up.
We have grown kids now. I miss them them when they were small.
The comments for this song have moved me to tears. It seems to have had such a deep meaning for so many. Thanks for the stories. ❤🇬🇧 I've never read a comments section like it in reaction to a song.
A tad, Lloyd?! A tad?! You drove 1/6 of the way across the country in the WRONG...DIRECTION!!!
Thanks bro I needed the laugh. You have a great day !!!
@@bodhisattva_1 Haha sure thing man. You have a good day as well!
Well it's not gonna do us any good to sit here whining about it, we're in a hole, we're just gonna have to dig ourselves out!
That John Denver guy was full of shit....
My heart song. this song has been my morning alarm for twenty years.
Who remembers coming home from school and watching music videos on MTV?
I do!..
Ahh the 90’s
depends what was on. if it was some lame pop group my older sisters liked I just turned on the sega. if it was metallica or soundgarden, game time was on hold for a while.
Music videos, Beavis and Butthead, Liquid Television....awesome times
I do.
This song is better than most realize
Not really homie horror song
the recording engineer on this song knew wtf they were doing. so crisp and spatial
Hmmm. I dunno. Well, at least I have another reason to listen fifty more times.
Yeah, this song came out before the "loudness war" was in full swing. Music had dynamic range before that happened, lol
Got me thru a divorce in the late 90's.
Love you guys. Thnx for that.
They say humming can stop you from feeling nauseous. This is my go to song.
Why the 90s remains one of the best decades for all kinds of sounds for music n lyrics .
80s as well
It’s not healthy to lie to yourself
@@dbzgeek123 lol. I was there , so that's my opinion 👍.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal CZcams performances of "Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS in tribute to 2 great standards of the era.

Mf is just humming what do you mean lyrics
The chord changes alone make this a masterpiece
Finally some one who recognises great music
Tell me about it. What a chord progression
It's one of those songs that seems easy to play, but it's not. I'll keep trying on the keyboard she got me
So true. The greatest era of music.
@@angelawilliams4239 the greatest era was the 80s. This is what was left of it.
Happy New year 2024, 30 years on, still one of the most unique and incredible songs!!! Thank you Dumb & Dumber for introducing me!
Cierto
I had forgotten about this song.
never played on any stations I listen to dozens weekly.
Feliz 2024!!!
Alguem já dançou essa música???? Eu já e foi incrível. Me apaixonei loucamente duas vezes...
This bring me back to when MTV played videos and how exciting it was to catch one that you wanted to see. Remember when you would watch late at night/early morning and you would catch super strange videos that weren't that popular? Ahhh the good old days...
Totally! Id leave the VHS recording late night to catch those weird, awesome indie bands that werent "cool" to play during main tv time
Sad mtv doesnt play music anymore.
Fuck yes!!!!
Equivalent in Australia was Rage on ABC TV
That's how Beavis and Butthead got famous!
Growing older, some songs just make you understand how peaceful life can be❤️
Así es ya vemos la vida diferente
Yes!!!👍
or how sad
Nope
Yeah I agree. Music 🎵🎶 kind of transport everyone of us to different places . And it definitely lowers the blood pressure and heart rate . We can all relate to music and it brings people together 🎼🎵🎶👍🍺🙏🏴🤞😉
I LOVE CRASH TEST IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE OTHER CRASH TEST FANSS
I can't remember most of the 90's. I do like a lot of the music from that time period. I've always liked this song's lyrics, vocals, bass line, drums, piano. Riding in the car, windows down, hair blowing in the wind, warmth of the sunshine hitting your skin, head bobbing in sync and ♫♪ mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm♫♪
Oh wow...Thanks for the memory 💙
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal CZcams performances of "Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS in tribute to 2 great standards of the era.

To me this is a masterpiece. My reading: young people feeling insecure (1) something unexpectedly hurt their image and self worth (2) something they were born with hurt their image and self worth, so they deflect by hurting the image and self worth of (3) a person who believes differently than the herd. This is a poignant and good song.
To me it plays out like little kids telling each other stories and spreading rumors. At least that's what I got out of it from how it's worded. When we were little, there were always these weird and often times overly exaggerated stories that would circulate on the playground.
Some good points there!
The kid in the church awkwardly dancing while looking at his parents reminds me so much of me at that age 😂

No idea why, but this song just came back to me and now I've been listening to it over & over. It gives me this powerful feeling of acceptance, especially being a father, because you never know quite what someone is going through. We're all battling through life one day at a time.
Right on
I don't know any other song that quite catches this mood. Not neccessarily pity for bullying, but having a secret shame that children dont know how to deal with even if their peers are accepting.
H;mmm;...hmmmm...hmmmm
Dumb and dumber. Thank me later
I just introduced this song to my daughter. She looked baffled while listening to it.
I really don’t know why but I love this song
One of the most underrated bands from this period in time. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Kids, when others say " to cherish your youth" Make sure you do just that. It soon goes.
like my parents will let me
Amen to that brother. 🙏
@@annleigh_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@annleigh_ The more boundaries now, the better outcome for you later. If they hurt you though - tell someone.
Not really, they just had this one good song.
I love how deep this guys voice is ,its so beautiful but weirdly sexy , This song is a masterpiece undeniably especially when they harmonize in unison at the end
You definitely will like Type O Negative if you are seduced by the deep voice and vocal/keyboard melodies. If don't know them, check Christian Woman and Love you To Death
In around 1993 when I was 12 my best friend and I went into soundwaves and got the crash test dummies tape and we would listen to this over and over. Unfortunately my buddy would commit suicide in 2004. This song brings me back to those great memories. He was the brother I never had.
Где мои 14 ть лет
Great song. Simple. Harmony. Great message.
Can we talk about how insanely underrated this group is
AMEN! 😎👍❤️🙏
mmmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm....mmm mmmmm mmmm mmmmm
How so? I don't hear any instrumental virtuosity, and the singer guy sounds like a jerk, and sings lyrics about nothingness.
@@hugejohnson5011Thanks for posting. Nice objection. Responsible trolling. But, this song is the the shit! Don't make me prove it. I'll be succinct, and own you!!!!!! Cheers. :)
@@davidjoseph3403 "Own me"? Dude, it's not a competitive event. I simply don't care for the song, and can't stand this guy's vocal style, that's all. Nothing deeper to it. It showed up one day in my feed, and until that moment, I had not known any of the CTDs' music. I gave a listen and don't like it. I was aware that they had been popular at one time, but I don't seek out that type of music.
I’m 44 now and this song came out on my late teens, nostalgic...
Almost 40 and this song does me right too
44 here myself and I love this song as much as I did way back when. 😁
47 here... And I feel the same... So big nostalgia about those great times...
I'm 46. I hear ya.
Same here
One of those odd songs that got stuck in your head for life! Weirdly lonely-sounding but oddly comforting.
The 90s had such great music. God I miss the 90s. Seems like a life time ago. But these songs still take me back.

i can't believe I forgot this song , i used to fall asleep to this as a kid every night
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Harry! Harry !! Waiiiit! 😂 pure music gold ❤
This isn’t just a hit pop song. It’s an orchestral movement. Listen to the ethereal background vocals how they flow into eternity against the curtain of changing chords.
The 90s were not just a decade, they were an emotion and state of mind for me. Thank you for the music and memories ❤️
Preach on
Couldn’t agree more. I find that if someone was not there to experience it, it’s impossible to really describe so they can understand. Makes me sad for kids today. But those of us who were there know exactly what you mean.
Omg yes an emotion!! This brings back so many memories.. Makes me sad missing the time
Every Generation thinks that about their childhood. Also GenZ and Alpha will say something like that about today.
@@katztoffelbrei6780 that's scary to think about 😬
My dad used to listen to this all the time. I just lost him last week and its been the hardest pain ive ever felt in my life. He was my best friend and he always had amazing taste in music.
My condolences, stranger
My condolences
Thank you so much guys. He was an amazing man, a Marine.
I am so sorry my friend. I wish their was something I could say or do to ease your pain. Keep your head up and know that you are loved.
My condolences kind friend, take solace in your father's excellent taste in music ❤
Maybe the strangest song to ever hit the top of radio. Musically it’s so great that the words literally don’t have to be about anything.
I agree with you my friend
I like this song.
I was an undergrad in Greece attending summer school at Harvard in the summer of 1994. I bought the CD and had the song playing on repeat. One day I heard a knock on my door. It was the RA (a graduate student). He said, look man, it's a good song but can we take a break from listening to it over and over every freaking day?
Haha, too funny.
I loved the whole album too !
I to played this song over and over again when I was a child and at the time my dad was a truck driver and I was always at home with my mom i played it over and over and at times my mom would yell at me to stop it
The 90’s were amazingly strange and awesome all at once..I was pretty young when this jam came out and thought it was goofy and didn’t take it serious,now I’m older I really dig it..
Bunda
Those songs were often lighter then what they likes the first time we heard them. I think it's the magic of this decade (maybe also the 80'). Deep lyrics with light melody.
I think watching the video when you're a kid or teenager kind of helps to make you think it's just a goofy song. You just have to check out the singer's silly expression at 2:51 to see that they had a little bit of fun with it.
@@jameshollan1160 No wonder they didn't get a career after this song. It's got to be silliest lyrics ever.
It's still goofy that can't be his real voice he looks like he's trying to be over the top with the way he is pronunciating the words.
“HOME , IM WALKING HOME”
This song always sounded so surreal even without the video. Good stuff.
I was a kid when my grandma died and i heard this song for the first time, and the last. The pain was unbearable, and this song to me tasted like pain, grief, tears, broken heart. Never had the courage to listen to it anymore, till today. After 22 years. Cause I'm afraid my husband is sick and that I'm gonna lose him too. In the meantime, 4 years ago, I've lost my mum. No, I'm not ready, I'm scared, maybe it's something that can be cured, but what if? I don't know what brought me here after so many years, but here i am, facing the most traumatic loss i had as a kid, the pain of being bullied my entire life, my mom's death...
Maybe this song is trying to tell me that this pain will not be in vain...i must believe that I'm struggling now to be happy in the end.
🙏🙏🙏
I'me experiencing the same right now, in 2024 with my cat who got hit by a car last week. This song, especially the end will now forever be directly connected to him. 💔
Oh man, those harmonies at 3:12. Goosebumps every time.
oh yeah
Same at 2:45 with the lower octave harmonies
Oh yeah. I love it.
Indeed Yeah awesome
Same, I could listen to this chorus alone
Some Songs just makes me teary eyed without even trying.
This takes me way back to the early 90's
I remember when I first heard this song and it's timeless production
Despite the lyrics not being complex, it's still a very beautiful song.
it just takes me back to the good old days when I was young and happy.
when Playing 16 bit games on an NTSC Tv set felt like the best thing in the world.
Love from Nigeria.
90’s was the last decade of great music
Well the early 2000's wasn't terrible but after that, it just went to total crap
_“Well pardon Me, Mr. PERFECT!!! I guess I forgot You couldn't make a mistake!”_
This song may seem odd or not make sense to anyone who hasn’t experienced childhood trauma or seen that exact look of shame on their parents’ faces, but I’m one of the ones who relates with all my heart. God bless everyone else who feels the same. ♥️
Same!

My v
well said u lovely lady ^^
I completely understand...
This is one of the prettiest, harmonically interesting songs ever. Unique, for all kinds of reasons. A classic.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal CZcams performances of "Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES czcams.com/video/SiuHPBcoaZ8/video.html and "1979" by the SMASHING PUMPKINS in tribute to 2 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Peace out & stay safe in the '020s.
They are Truly real Musicians
Something You don't see nowadays
It’s not often you have two major chords a semi tone apart
(Bmaj Bbmaj)
And the video featuirng the band in the school play was Very original...
the harmony is very unique
Nobody knows this song unless you were a fashionised kid of the early 90s grunge maybe lol wow brings back memories to say the least!
30 anos se passaram e este som continua maravilhoso com um simples Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm no refrão.
30 years of this song! That's the G.O.A.T!
Viu no G1 né? kk
@@MauTrevisano que ?
I love this tune. There’s a tinge of sadness to it. I know how that shy kid who’s parents look on disapprovingly, feels. That’s still me to this day.

Dead on about that last verse and the boy looking back at his parents; the woman is great, how much she conveys with a sneer. When you realize in real life she's probably a punker whose favorite band is the Distillers it's even more impressive. Much pathos in those moments: shades of Neil and Dead Poets Society--to this day one of the most shatteringly tragic things I've ever seen in a film. I had a tyrant of a father, but I stood up to him, and if I hadn't I'd probably be dead too.
I agree with what you say. This song seems to be a shout for for more tolerance and understanding and that's always in short supply for some reason. Judgmental people are not however. Love the class 20 picture!
Generation X music of the early 90s was very unique and creative ❤
So true, so true
@@dantissink7104yep
True. The "formulas" they used in the 1980's had dried up, and so the record industry became more willing to spread a wide net for different acts as a means to find "the new sound." The music in the first half of the 90's was far more varied than the decade before or after the 90's. In fact, the music became more narrowed and formulaic even by the late 90's.
You guys had good taste, seeing as how a Gen Z can even enjoy it.
@@phukuhu7310 that's a lie. Were you even alive in the 80s?
His voice is soooo beautiful.
Шедевр на грани гениальности!
I feel like crying every time I listen to this song. Beautiful memories and sad memories at the same time. I miss so many things but they will never return to me.
I know that feeling. Nostalgia is such sweet sorrow💔
Miss something it's learning so i hope you can now go forward and enjoy life every day 🥳🥳🥳🥳👍💪✊✌
Music is like a Dolorean 😎
Keep the faith. They will return . Also they never left
Wonderfully said
Totally agree. Thankfully we have this time machine known as CZcams.
This is the coolest song....chalk one up for creativity and uniqueness.
Canadian. Nuff said
Simple words that speak to you and that melody that is reaching you at the right place and time…love everything about it ❤
Now in my late 60s I listened to this on MTV at my exes house and just loved it I still love this song its so timeless love his voice and the music superb
Such a gorgeous song, a certain melancholy that never ages, timeless.2019 take note.
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by the CRASH TEST DUMMIES, Arms of Angel by SARAH MCLACHLAN, and Long December by the COUNTING CROWS on my YT channel in tribute to a couple of great 90s standards. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
What a beautiful song, still
Que melodia!!!! Que letra!!!
Que show!!!
This song came out when I was in high school and I loved it.
Last night, Jan 25, 2023, I lost my sister to a violent murder. I was looking for some peace to try to sleep and this song came across my feed.
It was what I needed and somehow it was quite comforting to me .
You have to love the power of music ❤️. Thanks Crash Test Dummies for bring me some peace in the midst of my pain.
I’m sorry for your loss, grieve well Rebecca and in time the sun will shine again. Hugs ❤
Sorry for your loss.
The Pain will fade, but LOVE will last forever. God Bless
🤗💔
How did she die in the murder sorry to ask just curious and also rip to your sister and I'm sorry for your loss you will see her in heaven someday
@@megangoad7679 WTF MEGAN, WHAT THE FK.
1993 : Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

The right song for a pandemic where singing loudly without a mouth cover is already causing infections.

@Fast Internet shithead
I heard somewhere that the singer thought people wouldn't like his voice because it was too deep. He's absolutely awesome!
I love the deep"mmm mmm mmm mmm"
@@ghostemane6317 This song made it cool to sing in the bass register, if only for a short while.
My husband is 7 1/2 years younger than me and had never heard this song until just the other day when I played it for him and the first thing he said was "wow that guy has an amazing voice!" Thank you, Crash Test Dummies!! Beautifully done!! Damn I miss the 90s!!!!
Absolutely Love his voice!
Well he was wrong people love it and that’s why this song became a hit.
My dad always said, this was a song so peaceful and serene that it could end a war
