The Running Gags are doing one song a week until we get sick of it, or until somebody forces us to stop. This is partly just so we can actually get some stuff done, but it’s also a way to pimp our Fiverr project – in which we will write, perform, and record a 30-second punk rock song on the topic of your choosing for $5 (we’re such sellouts).
Our first song is about a scene from “The Breakfast Club.” At first we were hesitant to do a song about a Brat Pack movie, being that 80′s nostalgia has to be treated carefully. Look at how many bands do “ironic” 80′s pop-song covers as a cheap way to earn fans, or constantly spew out 80′s references to the same end.
After spending a while mulling it over, we came to the conclusion that this wasn’t about 80′s nostalgia. It was about one of the great unfinished works of the postmodern age. What was the punchline to Bender’s joke? The world may never know.
For the foreseeable future, our songs will exist over at our Soundclick page.
Go give The Bender Joke a listen.
