What is the name of the song that Menudo sang?


I have always wandered on the episonde where Ricky likes this girl who is a fan of the group Menudo, and Ricky gets them to sing at a party, what was the name of the song that Menudo sang?

reply

That song was called, "Gotta Get On Movin'". It was off of there Reaching Out album. (You can hear a clip of the song, on Amazon.) I remember, at the time, the members were Ricky (not Martin), Charlie, Ray, Johnny and either Roy or Miguel (I don't remember if it was before Miguel left or after).
The only reason I remember their names is because back in '84 or so, ABC (i think) used to play Menudo videos before the Rubik the Amazing Cube cartoon (which they also sang the theme to.)

I know...Get A LIFE, eh?

"Menudo on A-B-C, dun-DUH!, Menudo on A-B-C dun-DUH!" Thats what I remember about that! (In those freaky 80s florescent cloths & bandanas.

DUH! (slapping myself in the forehead)
I remember that song "Menudo on A-B-C" I can't believe that I typed "(I think)"
I do remember the song "Oh what a city, that's where we live...San Juan in Puerto Rico" or something to that effect.

Good God, I HAD one of those bandannas.

Just like Vegas, what happens in the 80's stays in the 80's! LOL

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

YA that's it, "Gotta Get on Movin"...I remember the one guy from Menudo saying to Ricky in the episode "you gotta mashed potatoes all over youra pants" :)

reply

It was Miguel that was on that episode - not Roy. :)

OMG...I had SUCH a crush on Menudo back then. I remember hyperventilating when they guest-starred on Silver Spoons. LOL!

I know, it's really pathetic that almost 25 years later I still remember the lyrics!

I said "Come on Milli Vanilli did a better job"

Basil: Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
