Let’s be up front here. I know exactly one song by Hanson and it’s not this one. Well, OK, so now I know two songs by Hanson. And this one is still by Hanson, or at least features them. Does that make it less of a cover song? Can you feature on a cover of your own material and have it still count as a cover?
To explain how this awesome cover came about, we hand you over to Mr Jaret Reddick:
Taylor Hanson and I have been friends for a long while. So when when Chris threw the idea of “Where’s The Love” into our “cover songs to record” mix, I thought, “Never hurts to ask!” Those guys stay busy! The idea was for Taylor to sing the bridge. You can imagine our surprise when he sent it back with himself, Isaac and Zac all singing on the song! And way above and beyond what we had asked.
Our voices sound so cool together, and hearing them sing over the huge guitars is freakin’ amazing! I have high hopes for this one!
The music video for the BFS / Hanson version of “Where’s The Love” pays homage to cartoon favourites Scooby Doo. Bowling For Soup in their own Mystery Machine? You got it! Check out the video below. It works so damn well, especially for people of a certain age, such as old farts like me.
