Friday's Song: NKOTB - Remix

New Kids On The Block were the first boyband with a huge success all over the world. I myself didn't event catch them, as I was only 3 years old when they became pop stars, but my cousin, who was 10 years older than I was their biggest fan and he bought German magazines from people who left the country right after the fall of communism in 1990.
Anyways, when I was 10-11 years old, Backstreet Boys were the sh.... for young girls and I was the only one in my class who knew about NKOTB because my cousin gave me all his old audio tapes (I bet most of you don't even know how they look like). He was in his twenties and he was a bit ashamed of gushing over a boyband.
Now that NKOTB have reunited, I've heard two new songs and my favourite one has got to be Remix. Because that's what it is. The boys all have great singing voice, not like today's boybands, using computer programs or having just one boy who sings and the other just have to "stand there and look pretty". And the sound is ok, it's something from 2013. The video looks great. I mean, they're in their forties (or even fifties, I didn't bother to check), they haven't been in the spotlight for 20 years and they look cute as hell. I liked the idea of the suits and the slick image, showing they're not kids anymore, but real men. I for one, applaud them, I like them, and I hope they stick around some more.



 Ooh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh
 
She was that girl in the corner
Thick-rimmed glasses
Everybody laughed
Every time she passed us
Ever the outcast
Had no flava
But who got the last laugh
Hey
Always came last
No one ever kissed her
Missing for days
But nobody missed her
She went from wallpaper
To heartbreaker
You shoulda seen her
Ooooo

Baby I like the new you
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix baby
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix Remix
Do what you doin’ I like the way you do it
Do what you doin’ I like the way you do it, do it
Now her body’s so crazy
Got mad attention
Everybody wants her
I forgot to mention
My baby’s so intelligent
Down with it
Independent
Got it all
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
See no one ever knew
She was a transformer
Went straight from a 2
To an I just wanna own ya
I can’t help myself
Can’t help myself
I need it
Need it [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/new-kids-on-the-block-remix-lyrics.html ]
