Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.
Wow, courtesy of Yahoo, something special for y’all. A bit of a throwback, really. You ready?
I hope so.
New Kids on the Block are making a comeback.
Or so it seems. Per the article:
The band’s official Website, www.nkotb.com, is, after a long period of dormancy, once again up and running and imploring fans to keep hanging tough for a forthcoming announcement. That announcement, per People, is that Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood will be making like the Spice Girls and relaunching their once chart-dominating act.
Yes! When I was in fifth grade I used to wish that at recess I had the super power to physically morph into any one of the New Kids on the Block and that I would become irresistible to the girls and while this may never happen, it now it looks like at the very least I’ll get to see them gyrate and move like it’s 1989 all over again.
Granted, this is a bit of a backslide for the likes of Wahlberg who has actually gone on to be a fairly reputable actor in his own right. The others, sure, I can understand, I mean…what the hell have they done since? A few gigs here and there, maybe a solo album no one listened to ever (I’m talking to you, McIntyre), but that’s it. Well, the almight singsong of the dollar beckons, I suppose.
Anyway, stay tuned for the announcement, which should very soon. As for me, I’ll be waiting with my checkbook ready and I don’t believe there’s a number too high for this kind of nostalgia.
Sing it with me: Hangin tough, hangin tough, hangin tough.
Ciao.
