My Favorite Blog, Ooooh, It's My Favorite Blog

Missed this six minute video from the boys back when I ran a New Kids on the Block November. I probably missed it because it was the least successful single on the "Hangin' Tough" album. Here are those Boston kids with "My Favorite Girl"...

Have A Funky Funky Christmas

You just thought I was through torturing you with New Kids on the Blocks songs didn't you? Well, I found this little gem from the Arsenio Hall Show where four of the Kids break it down for all the 10 year olds in the audience. This is the first time I think I ever saw Danny (the rat-tailed one) do any solo of anykind. And, even Arsenio joins in at the end of this classic...
