Sep 04, 2011 Reform School Vs. New Kids On The Block - "You Got It (The Right Stuff)"

It's another rewind for the girls this week as they take a look at a early video from New Kids On The Block for their song "You Got It (The Right Stuff)."e


The New Kids on the Block were formed in the early 1980s when songwriter Maurice Star went looking to form a "white version of New Edition." He first found Donnie Wahlberg, who recommended his younger brother Mark and his friend Danny Wood. The trio convinced Jordan and Jonathan Knight to join us as well, and the quintet was born.


The NKOTB's second album "Hangin' Tough" was released in 1988, and by the early part of 1989, thanks to heavy video play on MTV, "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" was a sudden hit. It reached #1 on both the British and Australian charts, and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Before the year was over, the album would climb to #1 on Billboard, and go platinum 8 times.


"Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh" was a refrain that you couldn't avoid in 1989. It was everywhere.


So how do Martina and Jackie like this one?


"They're so little! What year was this? I'm so used to seeing them now..."


"This is soooo 80s. Look at the ripped pants in the back."


"Here's what's missing in so many music videos today - choreography. That's what music videos were all about back then."


"Now it's all storylines and plots - which is good, but I feel like if you're watching a video for the fun of it, you want it to just be dancing and singing."


"They're so hot - with their little leather jackets!"


They gave the video a "C" overall. As Martina put it, "Kinda blah. Sorry."
