IN MEMORIAM: Benny Grunch and the Bunch

In a cruel twist of fate, Benny Grunch and the Bunch ain’t there no more.

In a posting on its official website, the local novelty band announced that it will disband, effectively ending its recording career.

The group first achieved notoriety with the song “The 12 Yats of Christmas.” They then went on to record “Santa and His Reindeer (Used to Live Right Here)” and their now-prophetic runaway hit “Ain’t There No More.”

Most recently, the group had entered a new experimental phase, breaking new ground with the song “Ain’t No Place to Pee (On Mardi Gras Day).”

The news came as a shock to The Bunch’s modest fan base.

One posting on the band’s sole fan website read: “I was waiting for their next song. I was hoping it might be something like ‘General Honore is one John Wayne Dude’ or ‘Ain’t No Comin’ Home (When You Get Domed).’ Who knows, maybe they’ll get together for one of those reunion tours.”

Fans may hope, but the posting on the band’s official website leaves little doubt. It reads in full:

“All ‘12 Yats of Christmas’ T-Shirts are now available at 50% off.”
