New Kids On The Block
New Kids on the Block is an animated television series featuring the adventures of the New Kids on the Block. The series lasted a season from 1990-1991 on ABC. The following year, The Disney Channel had the series in reruns.
Though the group appeared in live action clips, the voices of the New Kids were done by other voice actors, due to licensing reasons. “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” was the opening theme, while an instrumental version of “Step by Step” was the closing theme.
The series focuses on the group’s misadventures along with their managers, who are based on their real-life manager Maurice Starr. Click here to watch a clip from the show ยป

Zoot Suit Riot
Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin’ Hits of the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies (often shortened to Zoot Suit Riot) is a compilation album by American ska-swing band the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, released on March 18, 1997 on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records.
Self-produced by the Daddies to satisfy demand for their swing material while the group was between studio releases, Zoot Suit Riot consists of only the straight swing tracks compiled from the band’s first three albums – which were predominantly punk and ska-oriented – plus four bonus tracks recorded exclusively for this compilation.
Released independently in March 1997, Zoot Suit Riot was eventually re-issued and nationally distributed by major label subsidiary Mojo Records following the Daddies’ signing to the label. By early 1998, steady airplay of its titular single propelled the album to the top of Billboard’s Top Heatseekers, helping serve as a catalyst for the short-lived swing revival of the late 1990s. At its peak, Zoot Suit Riot reached number seventeen on the Billboard 200, selling over two million copies in the United States.
