As part of their Look in Dunkin’s latest campaign, *NSYNC‘S Joey Fatone And Back Street Boys‘ AJ McLean recorded a song entitled “Ice cold like my coffee”, deliberately designed to sound like a classic boy band hit. And AJ says he can’t get over how clever it is.

AJ tells ABC Audio, “I think the very first lyric that really caught my attention was ‘muthadunkin’ town.'” As in the line, “The Iced Boys are in yo muthadunkin’ town.”

“I thought, ‘OK, this is brilliant,'” says AJ. “It’s so nostalgic, but so cleverly written at the same time.”

Joey and AJ love the song so much that they made it one of the songs that fans can vote for at every show on their current tour together.

“Joey and I thought, ‘Why don’t we just play the song and see what happens?'” says AJ. “And the crowd loved it and sang along. It was just hilarious.”

AJ was already a big fan of Dunkin’ before the campaign: “When I became a father, coffee became my.” Now he’s hoping he and Joey can star in a Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial – although he jokes that free Dunkin’ for life would be cool, too.

“Back when (Backstreet) did the Burger King thing, they actually gave us cards for free Whoppers for life. I lost mine within 48 hours,” he laughs. “I don’t even know where it went. So if they give us free Dunkin’ for life, I’m not going to lose. The.“

Regarding his and Joey’s tour together, AJ says: “I’ll tell you what… it’s far from over.”
