Hanson Lyrics from "This Time Around" Quiz

Answer: In The City

Lyrics: "If I asked you now, I know you wouldn't give it up. If I asked you how, you'd give that look to kill. Know it gives you a chill. But oh it gives me a thrill to say, do you love me, do you love me, do you love me, little pretty? Yeah. Can you tell me, can you tell me, what's going on in the city?"

Answer: If Only

For this music video, the guys can be seen riding four-wheelers in a desert.

The only single to chart in the US was "This Time Around", which peaked at #20.

Answer: Dying To Be Alive

Answer: A Song To Sing

Lyrics: "Blue yonder dreams and second hand shoes. You're so far gone that you live to close. And it's too late to go home all alone. You're the tar in that old cigar and the worn-out cable on a cable car and you're too tired to admit you've got to choose."

The band used their own money instead to tour in the summer/fall of 2000. Who says you need a major label backing you anyway?!
