New Kids On The Block "You Got It The Right Stuff"

[areyoureadytojump]

Went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1989.

Certified Gold.



NKOTB's 2nd Top 10 hit.

I still like this.

Not a big fan of theirs but this was hot!

^Not as hot as you, JessieLou!

I like it. It's my second favorite by them behind "Step By Step". I never really cared for their other hits.

The production on this always reminded me of Janet's "You Can Be Mine" from Control.

You can't deny that this was a good song.

[Stefan85]

My favorite from them and one of the few songs I like from them in general.

[golden eagle]

Cheesy but good.

[Live Your Life]

JAM.

[DJDaveMick69]

HATED the remix on some top 40 stations (in Ohio in particular).

I preferred "Tonight" and "Step By Step."

[Live Your Life]

JAM.

[B-Boy]

One of my favorite jams by them.

This was definitely their best song ever! It's extremely catchy!!! I love it!

[Ling-Ling]

Easily their best song IMO. Like this isn't even a guilty pleasure, just a great song.

Glad you said it, I've always thought this as well. It totally rips off the melody and instrumental in places.

[Private Dancer]

I love this song! So catchy and fun. My favorite behind "Step By Step".

This song has one of the strongest movements on BDS Radio that I have ever seen. It rose to a peak of #3, and went missing from the top 40 a week later, never to resurface. Strange, because other songs at that time had more longevity.

[disman00911]

Hated it just like most NTOBK songs though their uptempo/midtempo tracks were better than their ballads.

#499 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: This song simply Has It (The Right Stuff) – and that stuff is a bass-heavy beat, puppy-love lyrics, and the voices of five Boston boys blending just right to make teen fans (and beyond) swoon.

This Magic Moment: It’s all about the sing-along “oh-oh-OH-oh-oh” chorus, which birthed the boy band’s trademark penguin dance move, made famous in the classic black-and-white music video.

Coming Around Again: “Weird Al” Yankovic reached into his cookie jar of tricks for this one, flipping “The Right Stuff” to “The White Stuff” as an ode to the crème filling of an Oreo.
