@flexghost I'm not sure I've ever even heard any song by a canonical boy band, and the closest I can come is what I'd consider a proto boy band.
They were created for a TV show and did comedy skits instead of choreography, but became the real deal as musicians. So many songs are great, but this song is notable for being a favorite in punk rock circles.

My boy band confession is that the boy bands I identify with have almost no presence on YouTube because they were so long ago. Here are The Temptations, "My Girl", in a TV appearance. https://youtu.be/eepLY8J4E6c?si=PcT7I6hsah03AW0G
They are on my Beach Music Playlist, along with the Drifters, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs, Four Tops, Clovers, Chairmen of the Board, Archie Bell & the Drells, Jr Walker & the Allstars, Coasters, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, etc. There's a pattern.

This is a great song, with its awesome summery feel of taking things easy.

@stefan @flexghost Staying in the genre of advanced-vehicles-and-pals is Airwolf from CBS in 1984. Great 80s techno-montage opening that probably led to quite a few video game themes and later vaporwave nostalgia. #MastodonMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULfmowbNlK0

Rawhide, with Clint Eastwood. Whip cracking performance by Frankie Laine. https://youtu.be/3_rHrLHIeyI?si=vuBxlNLp6Xunyk1E
It ran for 7 1/2 years.
@flexghost This is a theme song so good it's been covered by quite a few bands/musicians. So instead of the original, here's my favorite version of it.
Original theme was composed and conducted by Henry Mancini for the Peter Gunn show which ran from 1958-1961.

What if your insecurity was never yours?
Osas Osi’s new AI-generated music video is a reflection of the soul — a reminder that your worth has always been intact.
“I Am Masterpiece” is more than a song.
It’s a return to truth. To memory. To self.

@flexghost This is a great song, but a rather NSFW (mostly violence & gore) but very funny video.

And here's Metric again, because Emily Haines is a badass!
