fter a brief stint in Fire
and Ice, an English language Menudo cover
band, the three founding members of The
Radio Queens (Dr. Strangelove,
Mr. Blonde and The Chairman) found themselves
replaced by management for “younger,
faster” versions of themselves.
Having grown accustomed to the limelight
and longing once again for the stardom
that comes from performing in malls,
the three self-proclaimed “Modern
Day Merry-Andrews” decided it
was time to start working on a comeback.
acking
the time or talent required to write new
songs, the three decided it would be easier
and quicker to find an obscure band and
steal their material. After spending what
felt like months (about an hour and a half)
finding the right band to pilfer material
from, they finally settled on a barbershop
quartet from Poland known as The Foiled
Cucumbers. Calling
in favors from the highest echelons of
the U.S. government, The Radio Queens finally
succeeded in having the Cucumbers deported
and pirating their wealth of musical material.
The Queens began playing the Cucumber’s
material in front of stunned hotel restaurant
audiences while the Cucumbers went back
to playing dives on the Polish kielbasa
circuit.
fter a lengthy Senate investigation, The
Radio Queens were finally acquitted
of any wrongdoing and have since embarked
on worldwide musical domination. They
live by only three rules: “Practice
is for the weak”, “We are
not a trio” (despite having only
three members), and finally, no matter
what happens… ”Never perform
in Poland.”
