Maxwell Drummey and D.A. Wallach -- AKA Chester French of "She Loves Everybody"/"Jimmy Choos," Pharrell, Kanye and Harvard fame -- shared their prom memories, and they're simultaneously the funniest and most depressingly unromantic prom tales probably in the entire history of prom-going.

With Chester French's prom tales, you get and unambiguous mix of:

+ Total and inexplicable nudity

+ A discussion of the economics of prom

+  An As Hard As They Come reference

+ Pinch-hitting for psycho boyfriends

+ Bow ties

+ Various Rachels

... Plus confusion on absolute grandiose levels, Abba, and ODB. In sum, Taking Back Sunday's Matt Rubano, who referred to the magical night as a "crapfest," and Chester French -- Maxwell Drummey especially, agreed.

With Chester French, our MTV Featured Artist spots have taken a turn for the deeply weird. Aside from gracing us with the usual exclusive performance video -- the Hall & Oates-y Harvard hitmakers do "C'mon," "She Loves Everybody" and "The Jimmy Choos" live from a bumpin' garden party -- Chester French lend their preppy perfection to a series of creepy public service announcements.

As part of MTV's GYT ("Get Yourself Tested") campaign, D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey split up to lend a hand to women in need. In Wallach's PSA, he coaches a hirsute honey through the challenges of being... a little different. Drummey, meanwhile, shows an older woman how to let go of her pain by simply opening her mouth. I'd tell you more, but I don't wanna spoil the bizarre surprises waiting for you in these twisted clips.

What I will spoil for you, happily, is that Chester French's live performances give new life to their already pulsating singles. It's one thing to hear the smooth jams bump from a set of speakers, and another thing entirely to see the boys kicking them out live to the delight of undulating backyard ladies. So do go to the garden party, darlings.

Watch Chester French's MTV Featured Artist videos. But do stick around for the wacked GYT interludes. They'll mess you up. Here. I'll post one below...

Watch this super-exclusive Chester French interview, right now, and pay very close attention starting at the 1:05 mark. This is very important. If you're more of a visual learner, feel free to read along, using the loose but helpful transcript below:

"We didn't know what direction to go in until The Jonas Brothers came out. The JBs. They showed us the way, the truth and the light. We're also huge Bolton fans."

Hmmm... Methinks mesmells a hint of the sarcasm! The last time we heard such a declaration was in Office Space, a very sarcastic movie.  ARE YOU SAYING WHAT WE THINK YOU'RE SAYING, CHESTER FRENCH?!?! Is this the beginning of the 21st century's first bubblegum pop beef? Whoa. What a disgusting combination of words. Let's hope not.

Besides, Chester French aren't exactly pop. They're kinda more along the lines of ... well, Michael Bolton, actually. Their soulful take on hip-hop-based-pop runs on some of the same smooth white boy fuel (aka creamy Jif) that made Bolton so... unforgettable. Only where he sounded cheesy, Chester French sound sleazy. In a good way. In a REALLY good way. Here they are, telling their story and, very possibly, bashing The Jonas Brothers. Can you forgive them? If not, take another listen to "She Loves Everybody." Unngggh!

+ John Mayer sure has a lot to say about Britney Spears for not having done anything with himself in the last five years.  Irrelevant?  What?  (Pop Crunch)

+ Aussie pop rockers (and personal faves -- sooiiiiiii cuyote) The Veronicas prove they're not as 'Untouched' as people think.  (Undercover)

+ Since the not-at-all overexposed rap industry will be down a man when T.I. goes a boot-scootin' to Sing Sing, LL Cool J is holdin' auditions, ya'll!  (The Hip Hop Chronicle UK)

+ Bitty Bite (to scale):  Bored?  Help Chester French name their new mixtape?  (Chester French)

+ In caaaaase you missed this from a couple of days ago, what the EFF is wrong with Kellie Pickler???????  '07 feels so breezy!  '09 is like the French Maid from Clue!!  (Cele|bitchy)

+ It's a JoBro NO SHOW for Taylor Swift (to the 3-D Movie Premiere, that is) -- who needs them anyway when there's plenty of other sweaty men to cheer for?  (OceanUP)

+ Speaking of sweaty men, I'm sure Ne-Yo was turning it OUT while recently on the road with Jazmine Sullivan, my little soul sister.  Hey girl hey.  (Neon Limelight)

+ Yummy-on-a-stick (not skewered, but like, wraaaaapped arrrrounnd it) Gavin DeGraw will soon release some new material collectively titled Free.  Could he just take that hat off for one second?  Or FOREVER?  Seriously! We don't CARE if you have no hair a perm.  (E Spot)

Chester French, who follow enthusiastically in the sweet, loafered footsteps of such blue-eyed soul stunners as Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake and Ocotillo, announce their arrival with a sonic Lambo ride of a single. Although the minimal video goes sexy and sadistic with a black and white striptease/ fistfight, the song itself is full-on neon Miami, 1989.

Made up of Harvard classmates D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey, smooth groovers Chester French take their name from the sculptor responsible for the giant, seated Abe who guards the Lincoln Memorial. Funny that they're such intellectuals, because "She Loves Everybody" is all swerving hips and curled lips. Does that sound like something you can get behind? Wait until you hear it! You can't even find the video on MTV yet, so watch it right here on Buzzworthy and get your first taste of Chester French!

When you talk to Chester French, the young pop duo won't mention how they signed with Pharrell Williams' label over Kanye West's. And they might not say that their song "She Loves Everybody" was featured in HBO's "Entourage," or that they collaborated on a track with Common on his new album.

Instead, the two Harvard alums will tell you how much they're inspired by White Zombie's masculinity and Kevin Costner's films, and that they're aspiring chefs and Pilates instructors.

But don't take our word for it: Watch the tongue-in-cheek 23-year-olds give Buzzworthy the runaround in this exclusive (and exceedingly sardonic) interview, and check out their acoustic mtvU performance too:

+ Plus, for those of you on the West Coast, you can catch the saucy pair tonight at 7:30pm at L.A.'s UNDFTD Silverlake for an acoustic session, and then later at 9:15pm performing at the Viper Room in West Hollywood.
