Gloria! Gloria! I think you DO have my number.



Thanks bro for bringing this back into my little corner of the world. How could I have failed to give Kids Inc. the props it's due? The music, the dancing, the Martika, and the fashion, oh the fashion!

I think I experienced the temporary block due to my bitterness about not ever trying out for the show. Ladies and gents, I would have OWNED that show. Spastic dancing? Check. Off tune covering of the current 80s hits? Check. Hair just begging to be ratted and bangs to be placed and sprayed into a wave like formation? Check. Oh man, I would have dated Mario Lopez and been able to ride his tank topping, parachute panting, jheri curling, zippered jacketing coat tails for the rest of my life.

I indeed am the new sensation all around the nation.

P.S. I can't f'in believe that that's Fergie, oh wait, yes I can she's still as awful as ever

That was the most disturbing thing I think I have ever seen. There are definite benefits to not have cable as a kid and that, my friend, is #1. Now excuse me while I go to YouTube and find more Kids Inc. clips to watch.

1. What does that song have to do with the scene?
2. Why is that one child's head so large?
3. If Fergie is "only 8" why is she in a dark alley singing Gloria!
4. You would have fit right in with all the other awfulness including J Love.
5. Why were they always in that back room hanging out?

Martika (Like Tooooy Soldierrrrss) and Fergie all in one fell swoop. God damn I used to love that show. I should have been a child superstar. I could have been Recken, B list celeb, and the paparazzi wouldn't hound my arse as much as they do...

Any chance we can find the clip of them singing "Circle in the Sand"?

WTF??
I haven't laughed so hard since, well, since your last post.

I was skeptical it was Fergie, until this little girl lifted her skirt to reveal the urine stains on the crotch of her blue tights. I guess some habits you never grow out of.

Kadonk- You missed out on the Kids and on Mickey Mouse Club! I am a MMC purist. No JT or Brit for me, I was a fan of that red-headed Chase Hampton and that group The Party. They covered Dokken for goodness sakes!

Julie- 1)Nothing, nothing at all.
2) Birth defect
3) Kiddie porn ring & there's better lighting
4) Thank you
5) See #3
6) Creepy, just like you.

Recken- We should have started a girl band, similiar to Danity Kane except talented.

No "Circle in the Sand", but close http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCfYkWD2fPU

Cherry- Your attention to detail astounds me. Then again, you always look at the crotches on little girls' tights.

OHMYGOD CLASSY! I am an MMC old skool fan as well and up until I moved to London, I owned The Party on cassette tape.

I so wanted them to be really famous so they could tour all the way to AK. Sadly, it never happened.

Where are they now?

Oh. My. God.

I didn't think I could be any more disturbed after watching that video. Then I read Cherry's comment.

Now I need hard liquor.

Kids Icc. was my shit. Mario Lopez, a.k.a. A.C. Slater, on drums too. That was before he got all crazy with the curl activator.

Recken- I have no idea what the Party is doing now. They don't even have a clip on Youtube (gasp). I think they are prime for a reunion.

Loaf- Like you needed that as an excuse.

Dr. Ken- Too bad he's like 2 feet tall. A gnome I tell ya, a gnome!

Julie- Another thing we have in common. Pardon me while I go gouge my eyes out.

Don't kid yourself... you love that we have things in common!
