Before there was American Idol to create stars…
…there was the Mickey Mouse Club. Thanks to YouTube, I would like to bring back some classic clips from an old favorite. Without the New Mickey Mouse Club, PopCultureYay.Com wouldn’t be what it is today.
Note: How eery is it that Christina had the same voice then that she does now? I was half expecting her to start belting “…sweatin’ til my clothes come off.” If I’d known then what I know now, I think I would’ve been too traumatized to watch MMC like I did every day after school.*

* for the record, when you are learning to read and spell, don’t ever tell anyone that you know how to spell the name MICKEY and it goes like this…M-I-C-SEE YOU REAL SOON-K-E-Y-WHY BECAUSE WE LIKE YOU. It’s just the letters.
Note: in this one, Ryan Gosling says “dweebmeister.” Now that is good televisionÂ

I am a huge fan of MMC, but Television Without Pity tells a different tale. In order to be true to both sides, I must admit that they make an EXCELLENT observation:
“…you had to reincarnate yourself for a new generation of viewers, thereby inflicting such entertainment nonluminaries as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and J.C. Chasez on an unsuspecting world….We’ll give you Keri Russell and Ryan Gosling as mitigating circumstances, but you still have a lot to answer for. Federline is your fault.”Â
valid point.

You know I have secretly been considering having “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” played at my wedding reception. I never thought much of Chase, until he sang that song and suddenly my heart melted for him in a way that I never imagined possible. A way that still involved him wearing a ski mask over his face, but with my mind opened to the possibility of us spending much more time together.
My real lust was JC. I was so excited when I realized JC from N’Sync was the same JC. You know I sat 20 rows from the front at a concert in Greenville and he and JT flew right over my head and descended upon me. Seriously. I have pictures.
