B.B.D. Anyone?
No, I don't mean biscuits, brownies and donuts(Mmmm. . .my mama's biscuits with butter and jelly).
Seriously, though - I'm talking about Bell, Biv Devoe, the harder edge of the first boy band, New Edition. Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens and Ronnie Devoe left the group famous for songs like "Candy Girl," "Mr. Telephone Man," and "Popcorn Love," in the early 90s to form B.B.D.
The group is famous for their spray-painted overalls, Bivens licking his full lips and songs like "Do Me," "I thought it was me," and "When will I see you smile again?"
My favorite song, though, is "Poison," as performed live here on the Arsenio Hall show:

Do ya'll remember Arsenio? Admit it - how many stayed up to watch him and see who his musical guests would be? (Note to readers: I'm southern. Down south, we use ya'll A LOT.)
In this next video, Turk from the show, "Scrubs," pays homage to B.B.D., using moves from the "Poison" music video:

Don't you just love YouTube?
Anyway, I've seen B.B.D. in concert at least twice and had their pictures plastered all over the walls of my high school and college bedrooms. I thought they were dreamy.
Don't mind me. It's the last day of my work week, and I'm having a flashback of my Jeri Curl days. Thanks for sharing that with me.
