For anyone curious Joey Lawrence did have a video and an album out. I think they did actually premiere it after an episode. The hit single was called "Nothing my love can't fix!" It's a fun colorful video. He does rap in it too with my favorite classic lyric, "Something something me and you , 'cause baby you been acting like I smell like a zoo!" LMFAO that is classic! This is the best Blossom skit.

[@mrmusickhimself]

They did, and it happened MULTIPLE times. I don't remember the album, but I certainly remember how much starpower Joey had at the time.

[@Tre404]

Mayim Bialik was furious about it, too, because she wanted to record some music herself, and have it featured on the show. I remember the episode; at the end, Joey falls asleep on the sofa and "dreams" the music video. The song was produced by Steve Barri and Tony Peluso, two of music's all-time greatest producers. And the missing lyric from your comment: "Cause we were meant girl, me and you"...

[@rashb3994]
