Smokey Robinson and the Temptations were R&B. Boyz to Men were pure over produced pop.

The Speaker of the House has nothing better to do than praise “Boys to Thugs?” Scotty, beam me up!

Mine is “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” by Warren Zevon. First stanza sums it up:

I went home with a waitress,
The way I always do.
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too?

All I remember is Boyz II Men’s “Motown Philly.” They hailed from Philly, so they were popular there, and they sang acapella, sort of a throwback to the Motown era. IIRC their lyrics were clean.

Oh... here's why they visited Capitol Hill and met with Johnson:

Boyz II Men Rally for the American Music Fairness Act on Capitol Hill

And Johnson must've gotten the line "soundtrack of our lives" from what LeAnn Rimes said in support of the bill:

“Performers spend hours, days, weeks, months, and even years working on the songs that make up the soundtracks of our lives. They should be rewarded for that work by the radio corporations that play their songs on the air,” said singer LeAnn Rimes.
