Julie Brown Prepares To Influence An Entire New Generation

The next Disney Channel movie/mega-marketing event, Camp Rock, will star the oh-so-adorable teen troupe the Jonas Brothers and debut on the tween-focused channel next summer. But the important part of this story, aside from the fact that the Brothers may finally see some Miley Cyrus-level record sales, is that the flick's music is going to be written by Julie Brown, a.k.a. Just Say Julie Brown, a.k.a. the woman who was pretty much my No. 1 funny-lady hero of middle school. Julie, if you can get some evil-girl foil type to warble her way through "'Cause I'm A Blonde" as part of this production, I will not only watch the movie the night it premieres, I'll buy the soundtrack album, full price. (OK, OK, you'll probably have to clean up the lines about loving to "jiggle," but come on.)

Gawd, I loved Julie Brown, too. I still have fond memories of the NKOTB episode of Just Say Julie: I have to remind myself to look for it on YouTube.

Damn, I thought this was going to be about "Downtown" Julie Brown.

Any updates to her whereabouts? I'm concerned.

Julie Brown totally ruled my middle school years too! I watched her show religiously. And her HBO special where she parodied Madonna (Medusa: Dare To Be Truthful) as genius.

Yep-- still hot for Julie.
Total kid-krush, even her quickie cameo in Police Academy (poppin' Steve Gutenberg's trouser balloon). Memories of my first girlfriend, who was just like her... aw... fully chase-worthy on the "Stripmall" show...

Please do not forget "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" and "(I Like 'Em) Big and Stupid". The subversive possibilities are great, I just hope she gets a genuine chance to pull them off.

I had an MTV themed bat-mitzvah in 1990 and I made my table the "Just Say Julie" table (of course)!

She may have to also alter the "audition" part of the song, as kids will have no idea who she's referring to when she says, "Duck Magnum, duck!"

@TheMojoPin: Um....TOTALLY different (yet concurrent, more English and ethnic) Julie Brown...I feel for you.
