ROLLING STONE | “75 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time” | (8/75)
New Kids on the Block, “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” (1988)
“This lighter-than-air bubblegum track was the second single from New Kids’ Hangin’ Tough, and it ably showed off Jordan Knight’s ability to embody an R&B crooner. It’s a bit of an improbable hit, if only because it has so much space — thumping bass and drums, synth hits only when absolutely necessary, Knight’s voice carrying the whole thing on a wave of infatuation and moxie. (Not to mention the Bauhaus shirt he wore in the song’s careening-around-Boston video.) But that mix, especially when added to the “oh, oh, oh-oh-oh” chant that became a siren call in school hallways, was — and is — a potent one.”
