Popdose: The Twelfth Day of Mellowmas: A Very New Kids Arseniomas | Popdose

    Last night I was watching Donnie being the grizzled sergeant on Band of Brothers and now this. Not only war is hell.

    I got up this morning and right as I was clicking over to this page, I was like "Jeff & Jason haven't skewered the New Kids yet. That's gotta happen at some point". Lo and behold, Popdose opens up to a funky New Kids Mellowmas. Miss Cleo has nothing on me.

    ..and for what it's worth, I know every single God-forsaken word to this song. Not only that, but I still own this album. Actually, when it was re-released this year, I bought it on CD finally. And...I actually kind of like it. Jeff, you sure you still want me on your staff?

    And Danny actually says:

    "It's Danny D./I'm here/with Christmas cheer/No fear/lend your ear/the party of the year".

    This is kind of embarrassing...

    Feed beer / To a deer / Send him out with gear / Kickin' ballistic to hunters this year...

    I'm sorry, but the Public Enemy impression at the end made me laugh my ass off. And the lack of a bass line? Genius, "When Doves Cry"-type genius. All hail the New Kids.

    Did one of them say something about "We're gonna sell some body hair"?
  • arensb · 11 months ago
    I didn't think they had any to sell.
  • DwDunphy · 11 months ago
    What the frig does that even mean?
  • Eric S. · 11 months ago
    Sorry, but I've got to go with Jeff on this. This sucks hard, and they knew it.

    I feel a jarreaumas rumbling deep in my gut about now...
  • DwDunphy · 11 months ago
    If anything comes from this year, so far as legacies go, it will be the induction of the term "Jarreaumas" into the lexicon.
  • Sharon · 11 months ago
    Al must be proud of such a legacy.
  • Curt · 11 months ago
    As if we didn't have enough SCATological references already...

    I've been waiting to use that one. :-)

    Is this why there was the "Funky Bunch"? Or was this inspired by brother Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch? Either way, I really couldn't give a rats ass, I just like saying Funky Bunch.

    It's like the Brady clan without hot water and deodorant.
  • Old_Davy · 11 months ago
    Oh man, that was... that was just BRUTAL.

    I don't feel so good. Does anyone else smell toast burning?

    Two things:

    #1. No one called out Donnie's awesome percussion solo? That's presumably Donnie on Woodblock and Vibra-Slap too. Tito Puente ain't got nothing on Donnie.

    #2. At the 4 minute mark, I don't know who that is rapping, but they are trying desperately to be Chuck D from Public Enemy, down to having someone behind him going"Yeahhhh Boyyyyyyy!" I'd like to think Chuck D had everyone responsible killed shortly after hearing this.
