IRVING, TX — A band famous for playing at Chuck E. Cheese locations across the country was caught up in a scandal this week after fans accused them of lip-syncing their songs.

Munch's Make Believe Band debuted in June of 1990 to rave reviews from seven-year-old children — children who have since grown up to be perceptive adults who claimed to see through their lies.

"Hey, they're not even singing! This is a recording!" witnesses heard an irate father cry out during an incident in Northridge, CA, one of only a handful of locations where the band still appears. "I came here for live music!"

Representatives for Munch's Make Believe Band denied all allegations related to lip-syncing. "Charles Entertainment Cheese and his fellow band members would never compromise their art like that," said a spokesperson. "They are nothing like Milli Vanilli."

In spite of their apparent denial, the allegations of lip-syncing appear to have created a rift among band members; a rift that may never heal.

Jasper T. Jowls, the lone banjo player, was reportedly arrested for narcotics possession later on Wednesday after an apparent argument amongst bandmates. "Mr. Munch thinks he controls everything. He controls nothing!" he said, according to police bodycam footage. "I can sing just fine! Look at me! Woooooo! Awooooooo!"

Cheese said of the incident, "This is what thoughtless conspiracies do to a band, they pull them apart."

The band has since canceled all further events for the year while Jowls undergoes rehab for his heroin addiction.

At publishing time, a rumor started by Crusty the Cat, who played with the band in the 70s and 80s when they were known as the Pizza Time Players, had admitted to spreading lip-sync rumors as an act of petty revenge.

Rumors swirl about the current condition of Senator Mitch McConnell, but his staff have come out to say that even if he were dead he will still be able to finish his term.
