I can't concentrate. I think I picked up ADD when my hangover subsided on Monday.

So I went on youtube.com and searched for New Kids on the Block videos. I am currently dieing of laughter. These might be some of the best videos in the history of videos.

Sadly, I can go home and watch these as my roommate Sarah owns all the NKOTB videos that were put out in the early 1990s.

I mean try and watch these with a straight face.

First we have Step by Step:



New Kids On The Block - Step by step


I don't know where to start with this....

Ok, the coloring. I love how they added in all the wacky pastels and neon colors. Or Jordan's voice when he hits Step Three "IT'S JUST YOU AND MEEEEEEEEE!"

NO its the dancing, that's what got me. The dancing. At one point and time they are doing their version of the running man.

Watch the video it will bring backawesomee memories!!!

Ok, I was going to try and add more videos to this post, but I suck at this and donÂ’t know how to. You Tube keeps giving them their own pages. So this might turn into a many post obsession.

I was in LOVE with them when I was younger. They came out in the late eighties and hit it big when I was about 7-9ish. My very first tape was a NKOTB tape. I rocked it out.

I was also in love with Joey, Jordan and Jonathan, varying in whom I would marry once I became of age. I never much cared for Danny or Donny. (Donny as you all know is Marky MarkÂ’s brother.)

The marketing gurus behind NKOTB were geniuses. Between the two of us, my sister and I owned the following NKOTB memorabilia:
~ Joey, Jordan and Jonathan Dolls
~ sheets
~ play tent
~ sleeping bangs
~ buttons (remember the button craze of the 80Â’s!!!)
~school supplies
~tapes
~videos
~posters

Honestly, it was sick but we loved it. I remember that Barbie used to date the NKOTB boys because she was sick of Ken. Later in our developmental process (after we learned how babies were made) Barbie and the boys did other things.

I knew all the words to every song and we tried to learn all the dances. We were obsessed.

A year or two ago VH1 tried to reunited the New Kids. that didn't fly, and I was sorely disappointed.

However, Jordan Knight went on to the Surreal Life, and is a sleazy guy as we now know.

Enjoy the video, there should be more to come.
