New Kids On The Black, Let's Rock!

[imaguitargod]

Well, I have a slight confession to make....it's a dirty little secret I've carried with me ever since my childhood....I umm....I...

: looks at the ground, stirs some dirt with the front of foot :

: says in low ashaimed voice :

I was a New Kids on the Block fan in the 80's... I was young and din't know better. Apperantly, I'm older and still quite nystagic over the 80's because the news I heard this morning has gotten me completely geeked!

THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK ARE COMING OUT WITH A REUNION ALBUM AND DOING A TOUR!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I have had "Hangin' Tough" looping in my brain all this morning.

[ring sting]

have a look for the aussie movie "Boytown"

It recounts the story of an aging boyband, who upon realising that their fan base is now also in the 35+ age group. They write and have hits with:

Special time of the month
Picking the kids up from school
Love handles
Tough love

My favourite is Pussywhipped

It's a hoot!

[DevilDuck]

IGG... (sigh)

I'm going to pretend I never saw this thread.

Where's my Miles Davis? I need to be cleansed.

[Chiliac]

Why, his taste in jackets isn't that different after all...

[DevilDuck]

Yes... But Miles is the King of Cool.

[ring sting]

Is this how they will brand themselves this time round?

Casual pants, nice hair...

It was a tie between Joey and Jonathan, I thought they were cool dudes. No, I didn't like the fashion that they had. I was always a torn jeans and t-shirt kinda guy back then. I actually still rock the torn jeans now and again.

Bwahahaha! I just looked at the title, I misspleed it! Bwahahaha! That's classic!

[chiliman]

Again, the day you post and we don't have to work to figure out what you're trying to say, we're calling the cops.

[cheezydemon]

YOUR F()CKING TITLE SAYS "NEW KIDS IN THE BLACK"!!!!!!!JESUS IGG!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by now.

Will Ferrell is supposedly coming out with a movie called "backside boys". If it is any good, it will be the only good thing to come from a boy band.....EVER!!!

I too must go shove hot coals in my eyes.

Nooooo Jordan was the BEST

Now, c'mon, we all have a few musical choices in our past that are less than cool. We should respect imaguitargod for his courage in sharing his with us. Afterwards we can giggle and mock him thoroughly.


*looks around* What? Oh no, I'm not confessing mine, just mentioning that we all have one stuffed in that closet with the other skeletons.

[klyth]

I grew up in the 80's too, and I'm proud to say I didn't like them at all. The music was bad, and their hair scared the hell out of me.

I'll also mention that I found an Ace of Base tape in my friends collection and smashed it - I considered it a favor.

[rainbowberry]

Yeah I know the music was crap but Jordan did things for 10 year old girls. Actually I can't think of one of their songs now.

[LUCKYDOG]

Thanks Kylth -- People sometimes look at me in dismay when I say that the music, hair and fashion in the 80's were horrible... and my wife loved it.. and I think she enjoys cranking up the stereo when any of those songs are on just to see my reaction....

[Chiliac]

Who is who in this band anyway? Cool to get to know your faves, but as long as I hear the names only it's all greel to me...

[LUCKYDOG]

Your better off not knowing Chiliac -- Im sure you can find something on the net heres some samples http://music.yahoo.com/ar-255931-downloads--Backstreet-Boys

[Chiliac]

Backstreet Boys? Pardon my ignorance, but wasn't this about Nwe Kids on the Block?!?!

[cheezydemon]

Is that why he was put in jail?;)

My SWMBO too!! She loves Prince, Seal, etc. Drives me nuts.

I think I mentioned the upcoming "bacside boys" movie and might have derailed this sick little train just a little.

Actually Jon has trouble spelling Jon.

[Omri]

Who the heck are 'New Kids on the Block'? maybe they're classic to you, but I don't even know them.
Wanna see classic? hijacking time!

Kaveret - Yo Ya (1973)

Some funky Israeli rock n roll.

[chilehunter]

omri - you DO NOT want to know anything about "new kids on the block"!!!! nor hear any of their music, trust me!
& their music is NOT any kind of classic music, it was nothing but a fad, a BAD fad the music scene went through.

just seeing that picture of them creeps me out :lol:

[Omri]

boy band? pop music? never liked those, but it's classic to someone.

[rainbowberry]

The only song I can remember them singing is 'I'll be loving you forever'.

[GrumpyBear]

i remember all of a sudden all the girls at school were talking about them, and they had trading cards or something. i didn't really understand the concept of a boy band at the time and thankfully remained blissfully ignorant.
btw, does anyone watch entourage? it's loosely based on mark and donny wahlberg...

[DevilDuck]

Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch.

[DevilDuck]

Wow... I killed this thread quick.

[Pam]

Well, what's left to say after such a shocking picture, really?

[cheezydemon]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit......:(

Boy Bands were strictly for 8-12 year old girls......right???

My whole world is crumbling....likes...hot....peppers....and........ .BOYBANDS! Ahhhhh.....feel...time...and ......space.... tearing loose........must...hang on!!!!

[imaguitargod]

Nah, that's the shrooms I slipped ya. You were looking stressed out.

[LUCKYDOG]

Im such a moron sometimes --- I went to another site and pulled the wrong name.... still just as bad

[rainbowberry]

When I put "Jordan" New kids on the block in my search engine I had a message saying I had to agree that I was over 18 to view the content, I was straight off that page.
