The Rock-Afire Explosion covering “Talking in your sleep” by The Romantics at Billy Bobs Wonderland

I do not own the rights to the original song by “The Romantics” nor do I own the cover by The Rock-afire explosion. All rights go to the creators and owners of the songs.

[@theemilianob]

[@namco003]

I was a technician at Showbiz/Chuck E Cheese back in the mid 90s to early 2000. So i've had the pleasure of re-skinning them when we swapped from Chuck E Cheese Mr Munch's Band to Showbiz character aka Rockafire Explosion. When I started working, we had Chuck E Cheese characters and the place was called Showbiz Pizza, which was the mix of the two places. Then one of the corporate guys, Raja Joshi I believe, bought three locations and turned them into Billy Bob's Pizza, which is when we overnight swapped the skins on the characters over a weekend, plus we had to clean the pneumatics. So, when my kids started playing FNAF, I was really happy to see that the insides were pretty accurate. Billy Bob's lasted about a year and a half. But it started my arcade tech journey/career and I still fix and collect arcade machines to this day. Quick back story, when I was kid late 79 to 81 I lived in California, and we had Showbiz, and the Rockafire Explosion was my first Pizza Animatronic experience, and not Chuck E Cheese. I actually didn't see that until I moved to Virginia in 82, and it's the same CEC I worked at, and the new employee tape gave the backstory of CEC and Showbiz. It also turns out, my absolute hate of pizza crust comes from when I was at that same spot in California as a kid and got a crust stuck in my throat, which hurt for like two days, so I had a sort of fear of pizza crust, and still to this day, I rarely eat them only if they're stuffed crust. So after watching that employee video I told the manager that i'm working for the company that gave me a phobia LOL!! Thank you for coming to my ADHD filled Ted Talk.
