The animatronic band is "mostly restored" and prepared to play three shows at your will. But the bidding starts at a hefty, ball-pit-dropping $14,000. I mean, I'm trying to capture those false memories from my youth as hard as the next guy, but unless that synthesizer-playing gorilla can carry me to work, we're gonna have to go OBO on this puppy.

Cheese in the Bergen Mall for Gizmodo fodder. God I hate that place. When I was growing up, the cooler place to be with way better pizza and far better games was ShowBiz Pizza. ShowBiz also had another advantage: this terrifying but captivating animitronic musical band called Rocka-fire Explosion, which is the subject of this documentary. I am watching it, and lighting a candle in remembrance. And Fuck Chuck E. Cheese. [Youtube via BoingBoing's David P.]
