1. A pop rock group from Oklahoma, United States
2. A funk rock group from the United Kingdom active in the 1970's.
1. Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Isaac Hanson (born November 17, 1980) pianist and vocalist Taylor Hanson (born March 14, 1983), and drummer and vocalist Zac Hanson (born October 22, 1985). Their work has spanned many different genres, including rock, blues, folk, and pop. They are most noted for their Grammy-nominated 1997 hit single, “MMMBop.” Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the band’s third recorded album and first major studio album, also nominated for a Grammy) was met with critical acclaim and went on to achieve multi-platinum status. The group’s subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothers’ considerable talent and artistic growth, receiving wide critical acclaim for its bluesy/classic-rock and soulful pop harmonies. The album failed to repeat the commercial success of Middle of Nowhere however, only achieving gold status. The album has since been considered a trend-setter and precursor for such acts as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton and Eisley.
After many promotional and artistic conflicts with Island/Def Jam, Hanson split from the label in 2003 and started their own label, 3CG Records. In 2004, they released their third major studio album, Underneath, independently. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time. The single “Penny & Me” reached #2 on Billboard’s Top 200. Like This Time Around, Underneath was well-received and well-reviewed for its more mature classic rock/pop sound.
The band continues to have a dedicated fan base and Internet presence, and recently completed a tour of college campuses, showing a documentary, Strong Enough to Break, made about their struggle to form their own label and release Underneath. The documentary http://www.last.fm/music/Hanson was also shown at the Hollywood Film Festival in October 2006.
A live album (The Best of Hanson; Live & Electric), recorded in Melbourne on the Australian leg of the “Underneath: Live & Electric” tour was released in October 2005.
The band released of their fourth major studio album, The Walk in North America on July 24th, 2007. They have released a second documentary, titled Taking The Walk as a continuation of their struggles and successes of writing, recording and producing their own album. After spending some time in Africa, Hanson released a single “Great Divide” for World AIDS Day, with 100% of the download proceeds going to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.
During the making of The Walk, Hanson made a trip to Africa to record some tracks with the African Children's Choir. They were so inspired by their experiences there that they have since teamed up with TOMS Shoes--a california-based company who donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold to a child in poverty who does not have shoes.
In order to raise awareness for this charity and the daily things we take for granted, as well as small and impactful ways to help those in need, Hanson organizes one mile barefoot walks before each of their shows. As of 10/30/08 they have walked a total of 100 miles together with their fans. They are donating $1 for each person who walks with them to one of 5 causes to help children and monthers in Africa battling AIDS and poverty. The fans are invited to organize their own walks and Hanson will also donate a dollar to whatever cause they are walking for. The goal is to Walk around the World and as of 2/4/2009 have walked 19,236 miles and have 5,666 to go.

Hanson released their 5th studio album entitled "Shout It Out" on June 8, 2010. Leading up to this release they performed all of their albums at 5 sold out shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
2. Hanson is a funk rock band formed in 1973 by reggae musician Junior Marvin. The group released two albums - "Now Hear This" (1973) and "Magic Dragon" (1974) before disbanding in 1974.
Give a Little
Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she walked in with her painted lips
Did she tease you for your flirty quips
Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen
You gotta show her why she can't resist
Make her blush now, you put your hands on her hips
She's gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing
So wrap your arms around her body, tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little
You gotta show her when she can't decide
You gotta hold her, with that look in your eyes
When you move in close take your time
Leave an empty shoulder, let her move in closer
And wrap your arms around her body, tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little
(Wrap your arms around her body)
(Know you wanna hold her body yeah)
(Wrap your arms around her body)
When she loves to keep you in suspense
Know she loves to keep you in suspense
But she knows she just wants to dance
Give a little heart and soul
Let her body loose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little
(Wrap your arms around)
(You know you wanna hold her)
(Wrap your arms around)
Give a little
The lyrics of Hanson's song Give a Little depict a narrative of a man observing a woman entering a room. The man describes the woman's physical appearance, focusing on her painted lips, and wonders if she teased him for his flirty comments. The man urges himself to take action to pursue the woman, to make her blush and show her why she should not resist him. The lyrics emphasize the physicality of their interaction, as the man is encouraged to wrap his arms around the woman's body and hold her close.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of giving in to the moment and letting go of control. Give a little heart and soul, let your body lose control, and wrap your arms around her body to tell her everything she needs to know. These lyrics suggest that the man should let go of his inhibitions and allow himself to be vulnerable in pursuit of the woman.
The final verse of the song suggests that the woman enjoys keeping the man in suspense, but ultimately, she wants to dance with him. The song ends with the refrain of the chorus, encouraging the man to "give a little" and let go of his reservations to pursue a physical connection with the woman.

I'll give you what I hear
I'll tell you what I think happened
When she walked in with her painted lips
When she came in with her lipstick on
Did she tease you for your flirty quips
Did she mock you for your flirtatious comments
Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen
Did she make you speechless with her response
You gotta show her why she can't resist
You need to prove to her why she can't say no
Make her blush now, you put your hands on her hips
Make her feel shy by touching her hips
She's gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing
She will continue to play with you until you stop pursuing her
So wrap your arms around her body, tell her all she needs to know
Embrace her and convey everything that she should know
Give a little heart and soul
Offer some love and emotion
Let your body lose control
Allow your body to express your feelings
Wrap your arms around
Hug her tightly
You gotta show her when she can't decide
You have to prove to her when she can't make up her mind
You gotta hold her, with that look in your eyes
You have to hold her with your meaningful gaze
When you move in close take your time
When you come closer, be patient
Leave an empty shoulder, let her move in closer
Leave some space for her to come closer
When she loves to keep you in suspense
When she enjoys keeping you in suspense
But she knows she just wants to dance
But she only wants to dance
