  • I love this video! :D I remember going to Chuck E Cheese in Calgary, Alberta back in the 80's and seeing the Rock-afire Explosion. Thank you for the fond memories and making me smile with your newer videos on YouTube!

  • the fuck.

  • THis is so awesome EXCEPT WHY THE HELL ARE THE RANDOM DOG VIDEOS THERE!?!? I mean this really is one of the coolest things i've ever seen, but there is no point to the dog being there. It really interrupts the coolness of it.

  • THis is so awesome EXCEPT WHY THE HELL ARE THE RANDOM DOG VIDEOS THERE!?!?

  • This is one of the best. I feel that with as much work you put into making these videos which are AMAZING that the personal videos detracted from the overall effort.

  • This is the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time. It's just as entertaining now as it was when I was a kid. This is a total lost art form. Classic! Thanks for taking the time to put all these songs together and I hope you continue doing it so my kids can get a chance to enjoy them. I used to go to Showbiz pizza all the time just to see the Rock-afire Explosion. I even have the record with "You May Be Right" on it. A-1!

  • this is racist

  • lol, little earl. and hes a wolf.

  • true pedo bear 0_e

  • Why does this feel like watching a bad trip in action?? lol.

  • Sort of.

  • Don't mean to be racist but is it ironic that the GORILLA is singin Lil Wayne's part?

  • @darklion53 that's a gorilla? I thought that actually WAS lil wayne

  • Less dog and personal family videos, MORE Rockafire and you would have nailed it.

  • still dont get the dog....

  • I still don't get the dog.

  • beach bear FTW!

  • I'm gonna have nightmares >.<

  • so i knew i wasn't racist lil wayne is a gorilla X)

  • LOL at 2:53. My favorite part! Thanks for this!

  • @LivingbetterTv I feel that, I feel he has the right touch to shine in the music industry

    Look up "Better I'm Ill"

  • I am an artist who attended the New York School of Visual Arts. Which is one of if not the world's foremost greatest art college for Animation, Illustration and Fine arts. Among us and my associates who hailed from SVA's Animation department. Aaron Fechter is very much a Legend. And Highly respected by for all that he has done in the areas of Character design, conception and animation. His name is up there with the greats. The Rockafire Explosion is iconic.

  • thhis is so scary

  • I am speechless.......Araon........­and I am not sure if its in a good way or not........like wth hahahahahahahaha I am not a hater just a little weirded out right now. Um.....yeah lol

  • Those robots are terrifying...

  • Thanks for making the video, fanprograms. Despite the negative comments, the majority of us enjoyed your efforts. Don't be discouraged! :D

  • lmao . i love thisss XD <3

  • is this really what they sang

  • Who votes they should do something crazy like Cannibal Corpse :P

  • lol that gorilla actually looks like lil wayne. how ironic

  • thumbs up for you and ur dog, fuck all these haters.. thanks for taking the time and money just to entertain US watching.....

  • @SgtMjrJared - Thank you so much. Sometimes I can just delete and block a hater, and sometimes, I write them and tell them not to visit with me if they feel their time has been wasted. But, I would rather spend my time to write to tell people like you that you have made my life worthwhile. Thank you.

    Aaron

  • i like the intro. im glad that new showsc and skits are still being made. Ovosly not as much as in the 1980's.

  • this sounds like "ecstasy" by jj...

  • How r u doing this??? im so confused!

  • @MaskedWallaby

    Sorry. I have to remove the comment. I love this dog. This is my party, at my house. you came in as a guest and hurt my feelings. I understand and forgive you, but, this is not where freedom of speech allows you to say whatever you want. I worked hard to create this. I love that dog. If you don't enjoy it, I'll give you back your money and send you to enjoy something somewhere else. But, I won;t let you leave a comment permanently for all to see that makes me feel badly

  • lolwtf?

  • oops, I mean Kathy's choreography...not programming, Duh ;)

  • I love this one! Kathy's programming is incredible, as I would expect from someone who worked with CEI back then...the little things, like Beach Bear's little crazy-eye move, signature Rock-afire :)

  • Does this show exsist anywhere in the U.S? Theres a RAE Here At Funzone In Farmingdale Long Island But It Doesnt Work Anymore The Lights Go On Only Thts About It

  • @Magicking788 There is one at Billy Bob's Wonderland in WV. That's about 9 hours away from Long Island though. The one in WV is in UNBELIEVABLE condition!

  • Aaron, I think the best part of this video, aside from the dog which is awesome, has go to be the interaction between Rolfe and Earl... CLASSIC AS ALWAYS!!! -Ben

  • Aaron, I think the best part of this video, aside from the dog which is awesome, has go to be the interaction between Rolfe and Earl... CLASSIC AS ALWAYS!!! -Ben

  • I was gettin some heads, I was gettin some heads.

  • wow the gorilla looks like lil wayne haha jk nice video

  • Oh god these things are creepy. But I can't stop watching! O_O

    BTW, ignore the douchebags fanprograms. They will always be there. It's the internet, after all.

  • I get making it more kid-friendly with the dog, but imo nothing's going to scare the hell out of kids like that clip of you juggling around the characters' heads.

  • Tandy has a growl! (haha hilarious at the end) great videos btw!

  • I left a comment a minute ago...doesn't look like it showed up...?

  • Did you use to manufacture these robots for ShowBizz Pizza Place and Chuckie Cheese?

  • @fanprograms

    I see what you're doing with the dog, which is cool for a site like youtube, but i'd be interested to see it as just the video without the dog splices. Also, I think you could get the point across without quite so many splices - maybe just one or two in the beginning, and then let the song play out without further clipping (which really detracts from all the hard work you did on the animatronics, and almost makes the animatronics work look like it is video editing instead)

  • hahaha I see how you cleaned it up, ingenious..pay me and Ill do it better.

  • You should release like a Rock Afire Explosion greatest hits cd from when they played at Showbiz or the the newer songs they did. (I mean for the show selector) I would totally buy it!

  • lol thats funny

  • this is super creepy hahahha but i love it

  • Lil Wayne looks like a gorilla.

  • Fatz the ape & Lil Wayne look like twins.

  • The dog really threw off the whole video other then that it was good

  • WTF?!

  • Ok im an idiot,this was made for online use its not actually playing at a 5 year olds party

  • i'm not a fan of hip hop! But it's soo greatt *-* i love it ♥ plx keep posting these videos!

  • Comment removed

  • This is by far the best one yet and I am DEFINITELY NOT A Lil Wayne fan!!!

  • bahahah yes!!!

  • you

  • :)) funny as hell

  • scary

  • Huh...I like the innocent twist on it...although the not so innocent meaning keeps popping up...

  • wtf what the heck

  • it does look like lilwayne dats the onlything thats rite rap killa

  • LOL! I love Beach Bear's expressions at 2:53!

  • lol this is sooo funny!!!!!!!

  • Usually I'm not a big fan of modern day music but the Rockafire Explosion makes it look great! Also i love that you use real clips of you in this video and i also love the opening with Rolfe and Earl.

    Once again Great Job!

  • My favorite part of this video is the Dobie with floppy ears!

  • You guys should do a Micheal Jackson special!

  • @xanniehx If you look around, you can find the video of the Michael Jackson tribute that Rock-afire did back in the 80's. Beach Bear does a mean MJ :)

  • Wow, I can tell that represents WAY too much work, but it's just so cool!

  • from the viewpoint of the average crowd, i doubt i'd be able to understand that this song is now about a dog

  • But, from your elevated intelligence level, I'm sure the meaning of this video and its subtle twist to a family oriented concept makes perfect sense to you, right? I'm playing to smart people like you, not those that would miss this concept entirely.

    Aaron

  • well, if that's the case, i'm ok with that. i really love what you and chris have done with these renditions. the "getting head" part in this vid is very clever.

  • Great, especially the better-looking cinematography, but it looks like Little Earl has seen better days. I'm worried that his body is almost ready to fall off!

  • What?? I just happen to feel a little retro and I came across this? I never thought I would find anything like this, I used to see Rock-A-Fire when I was a very small kid and was fascinated, and little did I know I'd run across these videos being made of them, the technology is still awesome. You helped program the animitronics?? Where can you find other videos...

  • hahah one of my favorite videos of all time.

    how long does it take for you guys to reprogram these robs?

  • Thanks. It takes about a week of work. Just the electricity costs about $200.

  • @fanprograms $200 in electricity? How is that so? Just all the lighting and motors?

  • and this is a kid show ...

  • why is the "hey there delilah" video gone ? one of the best ones is set to private now...

  • you haters are all stupid. everyone of these videos is great! keep putting out the gems, fanprogram!

  • I love this! I think the dog makes it even more incredible!!

  • Why thank you! It's nice to hear from someone who gets it. I'll stick to my artistic decision that using Tandy was the right choice and the only way I was even willing to do this song of dubious content, unfit for family consumption without her part.

  • the dog makes it way more fun!

  • rap sucks

  • i hate this song with a passion. and catheterchris...yeah...whateve­r.

  • fyi the

  • chuck e cheese in drag

  • this is so good! (tumbs up)

  • I don't like the dog either, but you have to understand that the majority of people working on this aren't Lil Wayne fans and don't necessarily want to spread the true meaning of the song.

  • whats the true meaning? licking lollipops right, it says wrapper and everything

  • Uhhhhhhhhh. Really?

  • the true message is that if u need somethin to get juicy for ya, call lil wayne.

  • did he say this music is filled with aids ?

  • yeah, i thought the dog was a bit of a stretch, otherwise good choreography.

  • Get rid of the dog clips and you have something.

  • Great Job Aaron Great Job

  • Why is there a dog in the video?

  • Cuz lil wayne is a dog xD

  • because it can

  • XD XD

  • holy crap.

  • Great stuff....

  • HAHAHHAHHAAHAH Im lauhging my assssssss offf!!!!

  • thAT IS FUNNY

  • phat beat

  • Check out "Our Policy on "Dirty" Songs" on the main site, and you'd understand ^^

  • should do the framing hanley version

  • true true

  • i love that little erl hes just like me i live like that only im not tiny like him but were simular lol

  • lmfao.

    amazing.

  • awesome job loved it!!!

  • I'd really like to see this without the dog clips. It almost ruins it.

  • watch?v=hLFURPCEJpk

  • Why the black man have to be a gorilla? Hmm?

    lol

    Good job minus the shots of the dog.

  • he is not played by a black guy he and everyone else is played by the creator which is caucasian

  • The gorilla is supposed to be a parody of Fats Domino, from what I read.

  • has this video been removed by youtube? i love rockafire but youtube is pissing me off

  • I love animals, but I do think the dog scenes/other cuts break the fluidity of the on-stage performance...but just IMO, and understandable b/c of the dirty lyrics... Either way I do LOVE the MGMT, Arcade Fire, and Usher performances. That must take hours to program, keep up the good work!

  • omg, this is so cool!

    hahahhha

    good job!!

  • LOL at 2:30 when the robot crosses her eyes xD AHA

  • lol brilliant, was gonna post the same comment.

  • lol soooo funny!!!

  • LOL - TOO FUNNY AARON! Brilliantly done!!! Tandy looks so viscous!!! LOL

    Mike - Indianapolis

  • I liked it, and could understand why you put the dogs in. Everyone else is just...rude

  • Thanks so much for this. Most of the people criticizing my work don't have a clue what the meaning of all of it is, and some even start off as dog haters. They haven't put any effort into producing a video of their own that others who don't have a clue will tear them apart for and none of them paid a cent to see this video. I appreciate that they are fans of the Rock-afire, but if they hate dogs they aren't fans of mine. This dog helped turn this filthy song into a family oriented piece.

    Air

  • lol

  • Funny, but the cut away of the dog makes it less funny. Extremely less funny.

  • this is a very funny video........and it truly is not up to the mark!!!! the original is great!!!!

  • hilarious... but not a fan of the pup cuts.

  • Also they had Movie Cover Pictures on the walls with Both Chucky E Cheese, & Show Biz Pizza Characters on them ! my 2 Favorites was Chuck to the Future, & Pizza Wars !

  • These guys really do bring back memories ! They were before I knew Chucky E Cheese, ofcourse around 1987 they were owned by C.E.C. in Torrance, Califorina !

  • good shit. I wish u wuldda did the whole thing . . . and I culdda dun without the cuts to the dog . . . Good shit tho

  • So who's dog is it really? Your's your Kerry's? Also... ever think of making a Doberman animatronic... maybe to mess with your dog's little mind a bit. "Why is another Dobie singing and dancing around? I don't understand. I'm soooo confused! Daaaady!"

  • wow at 2:15 you did a great job of camera angle you def should do that in more of your vids

  • Thanks! I'll do that..

  • I have a question. Do you have a function that makes the eyelids move independently, or do you have to mess with the normal blinking movement?

  • Yes..I can control eyelids independently or together

  • I thought the dog parts were great! That's one psycho dog ya got there Aaron. Was he frenching that lion statue? Great job with the programming, boy if kids saw this at a pizza joint they'd flip. Especially since the music is 'current'. Course then you'd probably have to give one of the characters baggy pants with their boxers showing LOL. Keep up the great work! You ROCK! -\ii/

  • Thanks! Yes..The point of the video was to help dispell the theory that Doberman's are vicious dogs. Ours is full of fun, has a great sense of humor and would never bite anyone or anything. She just likes to steal socks and slippers to make us happy.

    Also, i wanted to show that this song does not have to be only for the dirty minded creeps who can't enjoy music unless it contains vulgarity.

  • My personal favorite part was the Rolfe and Earl intro. I'd like to see more of the band just messing around.

  • I'll do more of that..

  • Ok, this video is hilarious with JUST the rock-a-fire band. Why did you add the retarded dog licking-man part 50 times?

  • My dog would love you. She is too innocent to know how you feel about her.

  • Amazing!

  • Very nice! Beach Bear is the definition of awesome. x3! Those dogs in the 'cutscenes' were very amusing.

  • lmao, funny

  • Freaking awesome. I can't wait for the next video!

  • really creepy

  • this is amazing thank you sir!!!

  • what is this??

    haha

  • awesome big fan!...love the head part!....just like to say your creations are amazing and i loved them on the mgmt video...i was like woah how'd they do that?...it interesting to see how you do of this...you blow chuck e cheese out of the water!
