Step By Step - New Kids On The Block

"Hey girl in your eyes
I see a picture of me all the time
And girl when you smile

You got to know that you drive me wild"

I'm not sure what inspired me to write this post on NKOTB, but darn it, I still love them, and following @DonnieWahlberg on Twitter just makes me ridiculously happy every day :)

I remember this song as being one of my favorites when I was about 6 or 7 - I was on the tail end of the New Kids On The Block bandwagon, but we listened to my friend's older sister's cassette tapes of the band, and it was spectacular.

Looking at their songs and lyrics, you'll be surprised by how often they refer to females as "Girl" but hey, I guess that is just how it was done in the early 1990's :)

"Step By Step" was released in 1990 on the album of the same name, and quickly shot up to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. It became their biggest selling single, and a song they still perform in concert to this day (as I saw them in concert last year on their reunion tour - be jealous)

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for NKOTB and especially this song, as I can still sing all the lyrics by heart.....

You Got It (The Right Stuff) - New Kids On The Block

Yes, the New Kids On The Block came back recently as, well, older men on the block - however they were still awesome in concert!

The Boys from Boston's song "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" was released in 1988 as the second single off their debut album Hangin' Tough. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts and was included in VH1s list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 80s.

When I was 6 years old, I first learned on New Kids On The Block, and they have stuck with me ever since. This song is one of my favorites, and one that I still know all the words to.
