Creepy Nostalgia: The Showbiz Pizza Band
Growing up in the Midwest, Showbiz pizza was the best place in the world to go for a birthday party. Games, pizza, tokens, tickets, crappy prizes, and that creepy animal band that performed every half hour. Someone got hold of the robotic Muppets (the band’s name is The Rock-fire Explosion) and has been programming them to sing modern songs. They record the “performance” and post the video on YouTube. Here is one where they “cover” a song from one of my current favorite bands, MGMT. Enjoy!

I have to tell you, it probably isn’t right to be promoting this band, as some of it’s key members have been recently indited in a scandal of sorts. Namely, the two “bears” in this band have been singled out as two of the worst bears of all time in a very reputable publication:

Shameful.
