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.

It's like the Brady clan without hot water and deodorant.

As if we didn't have enough SCATological references already...

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

Oh man, that was... that was just BRUTAL.

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

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.

Al must be proud of such a legacy.

If anything comes from this year, so far as legacies go, it will be the induction of the term "Jarreaumas" into the lexicon.

I feel a jarreaumas rumbling deep in my gut about now...

Sorry, but I've got to go with Jeff on this. This sucks hard, and they knew it.

I didn't think they had any to sell.

Did one of them say something about "We're gonna sell some body hair"?

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...

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.

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?

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