Mm Mm Mm Mm - chords, tab and comments


In 1993, the Canadian folk-rock band "Crash Test Dummies" released their second album "God Shuffled His Feet", their most successful up to date. Most likely, it's going to stay that way: Roberts have decided not to write more albums; they only result in a loss since streaming became common. It's a pity, but a fact.
This ridiculous song, released as a single - with a meaning deeper than the crazy surface - captured the world. The kids caught that I had a voice as dark and dry as Robert's, and went mmmmmming around me all the time to annoy me ... Jeez! I just *had* to adopt it.
Roberts can seemingly write songs about anything or nothing. Now living in New York, he started up a school for aspiring songwriters. Though nowadays, he prefers collaborating with other musicians, and going on stage.
