Believe it or not, but Ernie is Hanson's nephew! Before Hanson became famous, Ernie was one of the members (He even introduced the long hair as you can see on the picture). The boys kicked him out right after they saw Ernie hurting Rubber Ducky. While Ernie was doing this, he kept screaming mmmmmmmmmmdob (I�ve got no clue what so ever what that might mean, but I think it�s a prehistorically scream from the Neanderthals). The boys got inspired by this weird word and wrote their �success-song� Mmmmbob right afterwards!
