This is a Beat... You Can't Touch

Hanson is currently overseas promoting their latest studio album Shout It Out (GO GET IT if you haven't already-- so good), but before they headed across the pond, they took their American fans on a Musical Ride-- literally.  It was called The Musical Ride Tour and it was a blast!  Partly because the band let their fans decide most of the setlist, partly because they held five intimate fan club events discussing the "story" of each of their albums, and partly (mostly?) because Isaac Hanson finally put the rumors to rest:  He raps.  And it will make your life complete.

We Hanson fans know our boys like to pay homage to some of their musical heroes in the form of a cover while on tour.  We've heard everything from Sly & the Family Stone, Steppenwolf, AC *lightning bolt* DC, and U2 to, yes, you guessed it, Rick James AND M.C. Hammer.  (The rapping begins around 4:00, but you should just watch the whole thing.  Taylor shakes it a little.)

And on that note, happy birthday, Isaac Hanson!  Keep those beats comin'!
