The hair in this video is gonna blow your mind. Apparently mullets and Pomeranian shags were totally normal in 1988. Anyway, on to the point...
Long before she was making jaws drop with her "strange behavior" on American Idol, Forever Your Girl-era Paula Abdul dropped this bomb on a mull-icious MTV interviewer back in 1988: Michael "Balboa" Bolton used to be her babysitter!
Bolton doesn't appear in the interview, because had his mane been added to the mix, your face would melt from the sheer hairpower.
Among the interview's (Jerry Seinfeld?) revelations is the fact that Bolton, one of the whitest dudes of all time, can apparently really "shake a leg." Can you believe that? It's almost as shocking as the fact that Michael Bolton was a card-carrying member of the Babysitters' Club! Get the whole story from Paula herself, in the incredible MTV vintage video below!
