"Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" is a song by Canadian rock band Crash Test Dummies, and written by its singer Brad Roberts. It was released in October 1993, by Arista and BMG, as the band's lead single from their second album, God Shuffled His Feet (1993). The accompanying music video was directed by Dale Heslip.
The song received positive critical reviews upon its release, though retrospective reviews have been more negative. "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the national charts of Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden—yet in the band's native Canada, it stalled at number 14 on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart.
In 1994, "Weird" Al Yankovic released a parody of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" called "Headline News", with lyrics that humorously reference topical news items from the period. Brad Roberts enjoyed the parody version, and Crash Test Dummies performed the song with Yankovic on multiple occasions.
