The more I look back on pop culture from the ’90s, the more I want to set fire to my memories of adolescence. For a couple years, before Shannen Doherty left and all the characters graduated and went to the same college (because that’s what high school friends do), “Beverly Hills 90210″ was THE television show for young people to watch. And it was crap. Utter crap.
Watch this video if you don’t believe me. I’m 100% positive that Color Me Badd was the result of a music executive betting someone that he could take the four ugliest guys with decent pitch and make them into a pop sensation. Their entire existence was a practical joke on pop culture. And “90210″ fell for it.

I always thought Color Me Badd was a creation of a shitty mall’s Supercuts.
I’m pretty sure B.A.G. was crushed when they wouldn’t hire him as the 5th member.
Of course, he’s banging Megan Fox, so jokes on us?
How dare you besmirch Joe E. Tata!!!
Those are the kinds of mustaches I imagine are constantly soaked in cum (strokes facial hair).
i think color me badd was the inspiration for Dick in a Box
From Wiki: “Mark Calderon currently resides in Cincinnati, Ohio and works for a local insurance company.”
Oh fistfull, we could do it ’till we both wake up
“You know what will really put this group over the top? If we get that local Kenny G look-alike to join!”
Anyone ever notice how that curly headed fuck from “Color Me Bad” looks exactly like Larry from “The 3 Stooges”?
And that dude with the pencil thin mustache looks like Salvador Dali? Get it? Slavador Dali was a painter and his doppleganger is in a band called “Color Me Bad”?
Here comes Mr. Sausage.
Color me Badd:
We need to combine the powers of!:
George Michael
Vanilla Ice
Kenny G
and
Token Black Guy with Dreds!
What’s the worst that could happen??
The token black guy lives in arlington texas with his wife, 4 kids and white in-laws. He loves jesus now.
I know…I’ve been there
I remember sticking with 90210 for the whole first series just waiting for the hot chick, that Brandon shared a tub with in the pilot, to show up again. She never did. That, and no follow up to the Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos are my biggest TV disappointments.
A little imdb research later: The hot chick was Leslie Bega and she went on to play Tony Soprano’s girlfriend for 7 episodes. Simple lines intertwining.
Can you blame these guys for appearing on 90210? They did it all for love..
In 1993 a crack commando team consisting of George Micheals, Kenny G, Snow, and Terrance Trent d’arby was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… Color Me Badd..
This band was actually popular in the 90s, I shit you not. Dear god, there was quite an era of shit in popular music in between the time GnR stopped being good and the time Nirvana came along.
You know what….if you paid me a few million $ to strut around with a horrible mustache or weave and sing really ridiculous songs for pre-pubescent girls in a way that could only end up with me looking like a joke within a few years, there’s no way I would do it. Oh wait, maybe I would.
