I've just finished capping all 14 (well.. 15 if you count the cartoon video for Misery, which I didn't, and 13 if you don't count the director's cut of Underneath, which I did) Hanson music videos from the past decade.
3 Preview caps (in a few cases there are 4) from each video are under the cut. Some of them are DVD quality caps, some of them are caps from videos I downloaded from itunes and one (Great Divide) is from youtube, so it's lower quality, but it's still included. If you know where I can download a better quality version, please let me know (as fas as I know, it's not available on any official DVDs or CDs yet... right?).


So... on with the show...


MMMBop (1997)


I cannot get over how adorable Zac was in 97. Hee. For some reason it makes me wanna refer to him as my squishy. And I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my squishy! *dies from the cute*


They try to pretend they only do silly dancing, but most of us have seen those boy band dance moves from their pre-instrument days. *giggles uncontrolably* SO glad they ditched the dancing in favor of instruments.


This song and video were my first impression of Hanson. I remember it was about a week before MMMBop was released in the UK and I was getting ready for school with the TV on in the background and I heard this song and I looked up... and there was Tay's face on the tv screen. And I couldn't stop watching until the morning show ended the video clip. And that was it. I was a fanson from that moment on. lol


Where's The Love (1997)



*grin* Ike was always cuter than people gave him credit for.


I always loved this part of the video (and the song).


More Squishy! I mean Zac!


I Will Come To You (1997)



Anyone else wanna hug him? I know it's not just me.


He always looks great holding a guitar. Definitely a match made in heaven. hehe


There was definitely something so huggable looking about them in this video. lol. Especially little Zac. It probably had something to do with the clothes, the lighting and the soft, blurry filter thing they used. Or maybe Hanson is just naturally huggable looking?


Weird (1998)



Haha. Tay looks like he's hanging upside down in a black straight jacket. Well... I think he does. :p


I read that they had to wear weights during this part so that they wouldn't float out of shot. That would have freaked me the hell out. Who wants to be weighed down under water, even in the most controlled conditions?! Eeek!


Love the pouty, glarey thing, Zac. You're the most bad ass 12 year old on the planet!


River (1998)



And the first extra, non-Hanson centric cap goes to Weird Al, because his facial expressions cracked me up.


*squeals* BABY HANSON! lol I know they weren't that much younger here than they were when MMMBop came out, but they're still adorable.


Zac takes a swipe at his own hair with his drumstick. I wonder if he's ever like... hit himself in the forehead during a concert. That's gotta suck.


Aside from that unfortunate mullet haircut in 2005 (and even then) has this boy ever not been ridiculously pretty?


If Only (2000)



They went away. It was sad. Then they came back, with new hair and a harmonica. And it was happy. Very happy. :D


Ike: Damn. I wish my hair could still do that.


The look that still causes a frenzy amongst fangirls (and boys).


The second extra, non-Hanson centric screencap is simply because I need to know if this girl looks as familiar to the rest of you as she does to me. I feel like I've seen her in something else, but I can't pin point what.


This Time Around (2000)



Ike: Hey, fangirls, where are you going? I'm right here!
Me: Dude, they don't recognize you without the hair!


Am I honestly supposed to believe anyone didn't want to do him when they saw this? I wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers, that's for sure.


Oh, hell yes. Wouldn't it be the most awesome thing ever if you actually did wander into an abandoned hotel and found Hanson rockin' out in the grand ballroom? Um... yeah it would!


Save Me (2000)



Who wouldn't save Zac? (Anyone who just raised their hand sucks, BTW).


I'm pretty sure I covered this already, but just in case it hasn't registered yet: Tay = Pretty.


I love it when they vandalize things. lol We'll see more of that in a minute...


Penny and Me (2004)



From being my squishy to being damn sexy! 4 years was way too long of a break between music videos, but Zac did a fine job of growing up during that time. *fans self*


They just get better and better with age.


Another extra, non-Hanson centric cap because I love Samaire and I think she was stunning in this video.


I just... *stares* How does any one guy have the right to be that pretty, damnit!


Lost Without Each Other (2004)



This video was really simple but for some reason I've always loved it. I think it has great energy.


Ike said the theme for the video was "sweat". Sweaty Hanson just happens to be the only thing I love more than non-sweaty Hanson, so that definitely adds to my love for this video. lol As does Tay's long hair. I just... I'm always gonna have a thing for long hair on him. He looks hot with short hair too, but... the long hair he was sporting in 2004 was... *fans self*


Here's more of that hot (get it?) vandalism, as promised. Still can't believe they set fire to that poor piano.


Underneath (2005)



I liked how there was stuff going on in the background for this entire video, but I still couldn't tear my eyes away from Hanson. lol


You can throw in as many explosions as you want, I'm still watching Hanson.


*sigh* Poor, frustrated, SETB!Ike. *sniffle* If I ever meet Jeff Fenster, I'm gonna kick him in square in the nuts.


Underneath (Director's Cut) (2005)



I'm so glad they released a version of this video with just Hanson.


If you were ever in a Hanson video or at a concert they filmed or whatever, answer me this: Do you ever sit there at home and play "spot the me!"?


There was not enough Zac in this video for my liking. lol Sometimes I think it must really suck to be stuck at the back behind a drum kit while your brothers are out in front. I was just watching "At The Fillmore" and Tay and Ike were having a great time during "In The City" and if I was Zac, I'd be like "Aw, man! I wanna be out there sharing the mic and jumping around like a headcase! Lemme out!" But... maybe that's just me. :$


Great Divide (2006)



I liked how this was basically just footage from their documentary edited to make a music video. They didn't do anything fancy, no big video shoot. They just used what they already had. And... that's actually exactly what they've been telling us to do. lol Was that intentional?


Heee! I know it's a stupid thing to say about a picture of him tying a little girl's shoelaces, but I just think he's gonna be an awesome dad.


I like Ike. What? I couldn't think of anything else to say! He's awesome.


Go (2007)



Zac's first time at lead vocals on a single means Zac's first time at being the main focus in a video and I personally thought he handled it like the hot pro he is. :p


I'm sure there's some bigger meaning behind these shots, I mean Ike and Tay are in these warm, sunny orange places while Zac's kinda in a colder, blue city, but even if they had a lot of meaning, they still felt kinda random to me. But they were also very pretty, so I got over it quickly because I'm that deep.


See?! Pretty but mucho random! More random than Ike and his guitar because at least you can easily transport a guitar to the middle of nowhere, but a piano?! Not that I've ever tried, but I'm pretty sure they're not the easiest things to carry.


And this video gets an extra Hanson centric cap because ZOMG! SO PRETTY!


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done (finally).
