New Kids On The Block, Rick Astley, Salt N Pepa, En Vogue Combine To... Not Sure

Sometimes you just have to watch it twice.

More Salt N Pepa Salt N Pepa

In a collaboration that nobody expected and many will point out nobody asked for, New Kids On The Block have joined forces with Rick Astley, Salt N Pepa and En Vogue to create this delicious slice of 1989 nostalgia Bring Back The Time. On first watch your brain simply processes what you're seeing. On second watch.... well we're still processing.

Taking the piss out of themselves and everyone else that existed at the time, this is one of those times when it's hard not to get into the jam they are laying down. Recreating iconic videos from Devo, Duran Duran, A Flock Of Seagulls, Toni Basil, Twisted Sister and more, this is a joyous slice of '80s throwback that has to be seen to be believed. 

No doubt now that international borders are open, one, two or all of the above will visit Australia in some kind of '90s nostalgia tour over the coming years. Now that's a prediction we're happy to bet on.
