[Note: This post used to be titled "Jonas Brothers of the late 1990s'" but due to its misleading and consequently disappointing nature, especially to the real fans of the JB, I decided to change it.]

I used to be crazy over boy bands when I was in primary school till about form 3 I think. There were the Backstreet Boys, Hanson, LFO, A1, Five, so on and so forth I can’t even remember them! Few minutes ago while surfing Youtube I suddenly was lead to this Canadian band I used to love so much in primary school called the Moffatts.

And suddenly I’m 10 again, lol! “I miss you like crazy” still sounds as how I remembered it but “The girl of my dreams” did not! It’s kinda surprising, to find the song sounding different from how I remembered it. There were so many links to their other songs and I can barely remember any of them. I guess over the years I have pretty much forgotten about them.

So now I’m just looking through some of the videos. Man, videos then looked really crappy and the songs were so kiddish! The teen boys of the late 1990s had long hair half dyed, while early 2000s it was all about the spikes; and now you gotta feel emo and have your hair cover half your face to look sad. Either that or be a pretty boy.

Kinda fun, going back to the good ol’ days. There were some funny comments about how people thought they were the Jonas Brothers when I’m sure back then they would have been only about 8 years old? Now I finally understand why people dislike boy bands, cos I am not particularly swayed by the Jonas Brothers’ songs. And although “When you look me in the eye” is still ok, it’s definitely not something I would like to listen to everyday over and over again.

Here’s the Moffatts at 14-15 (I was 10)

And at 16-17 or so. (I think I was 12)

So here’s the “Jonas Brothers’” of my time – The Moffatts with “I miss you like crazy” ( Damn I feel old!)
