You may remember the band that took the town of Horse Fly in Sweet Swine County by storm in the mid-1980s broke up when lead lip-syncher, Buster Jones (The Big Porker), insisted that fellow band-mates accept his girlfriend Betty Thompson (Cooking it Up with Betty host) into the band. After a much-publicized fight ensued over the influence Thompson had in the songs selected were lip-synching to, The Big Porker left the band in a lippy huff to pursue a solo career in Europe. Differences were ironed out when the entire band reunited for a benefit concert to raise money for Earl Silo's (Cautious Chicken Party) presidential campaign! Silo lost his bid for president but joined the band and now the original Lip-Synchers perform in the town were it all started " Horse Fly" every October with solo lip-syncing performances by Betty Thompson and Earl Silo!
