But since we're the internet's top leading Rock-afire tabloid, we've included all the juicy secrets that they'd rather not have you know.

AARON FECHTER - Billy Bob, Looney Bird, Rolfe & Earl

EMBARASSING SECRET - After years of playing different characters, he eventually formed multiple personalities of his own.

BURT WILSON - Fatz

EMBARASSING SECRET - After working at Creative he was fired from a job at Universal Studios by his manager who was none other than Shalisa!

SHALISA SLOAN - Mitzi

EMBARASSING SECRET - Began her career in a cover-band doing songs aimed at kids. Is still in a cover-band doing songs for kids.

DUKE CHAUPETTA - Dook

Duke's amazing voice and talent was discovered by Creative early on, and they were always proud of the fact that they were able to find him first. He played the voice of Dook Larue for the entire history of ShowBiz Pizza and later went on to doing private performances in small gigs around central Florida.

EMBARASSING SECRET - Had a "thing" for a young Shalisa.

RICK BAILEY - Beach Bear

Rick Bailey began his carrer with Creative doing audio editing and backup vocals, and remained an untapped talent until 1982 when he began doing the voice for the moon. It didn't last long, as he soon became Beach Bear and transformed the character forever. Rick later started his own band, Heart Attack Diner.

EMBARASSING SECRET - Ended up being the guitarist for teenie bopper artists LFO.

JEFF HOWELL - Uncle Klunk

Jeff sang backup vocals and played instrumentation for years before getting to become the character voice of Uncle Klunk in 1983.
