Hey girl, I know that as a kid
You never got to see that boy band concert on Pay-Per-View,
But it’s okay
Because I’m here now,
And I’m all the boy band you’ll ever need.
Girl, I know things haven’t always been so easy for you,
Kids were mean,
And your daddy walked right out the door, too.
Maybe we should have a session,
Address your anxiety and depression
‘Cause I got a funny feeling if we do…
Baby, you can kiss
All your childhood traumas goodbye.
You‛re never gonna miss
All that stress, you’ve been keeping inside.
All your psychological problems
Girl, we’re gonna solve them
‘Cause we’re not just a boy band made up of four Joshes,
We’re also a team of licensed mental health professionals.
We’ll help you understand the reasons
That your mom made you sad
And why every man you date is just a
Stand-in for your dad.
You’ll stop revisiting your fears,
Once we wipe away your tears,
Trust us, girl,
Your prognosis isn’t bad.
Baby, you can kiss
All your unexplained symptoms goodbye!
You’re never gonna miss
All those nightmares in which you tend to die!
We’ll get you through those developmental stages
That you’ve been stuck in for ages
‘Cause we’re not just a boy band made up of four Joshes,
We’re also a team of nationally recognized
Mental health professionals
Trained in cognitive
Behavioral therapy with specialties in
Personality and sleep disorders
And love!
Notes[]
Parody[]
The song is a clear parody of various popular boy band acts of the 1990's. Several dance moves depicted onscreen during the four Joshes preformances mimics choreography and hand gestures used by NSYNC from thier music video for the song "Bye Bye Bye".
Behind the scenes[]
Vincent Rodriguez III was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about the song and music video for "A Boy Band Made Up of For Joshes". He mentions he was a big fan of boy bands as a teenager, particularly *NSYNC. Filming for all the four Josh's parts took about six hours and each Josh was given his own personality reflected by thier dance moves. You can read the full interview HERE.
