The Glowworm Gang rounds out their trilogy with “The Bunker Bunch,” a track that feels like a roll-call of the new world’s most resilient rascals. If “Galaxy Hop” was about looking up, this track is about looking around—finding the magic in the concrete and the “laser fans” in the tea kettle. It’s a tribute to the chaos, creativity, and “big boy shoes” that keep the bunker spirit alive.
A Registry of Rascals
The song introduces us to the specific quirks of the bunker kids, each carving out a personality in the “concrete floor” world. From Arlo’s tea-powered tech-wizardry to Meadow’s “Accio snacks” spells, the lyrics capture the intersection of old-world media (Spider-Man stickers and Miss Rachel) and new-world survival. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the “Bunker Bunch” hierarchy, where a puddle becomes a “battleground” and a sock is an exotic animal.
The No-Peanuts News
Even in the midst of the “wiggles” and “stomps,” the song keeps a foot in reality. The mention of Lupin’s “no peanuts” rule is a subtle nod to the high stakes of bunker health and the importance of “big news” in a small community. Despite the “signal fading,” the message is clear: the kids aren’t just surviving the day; they are saving it through play. It’s a reminder to the adults on the frequency to “wipe that giggle all over your face”—joy is the ultimate survival tool.
THE BUNKER BUNCH
by: The Glowworm Gang
Down in the bunker, not a cloud in the sky,
Six little rascals are zoomin’ on by!
They play and they wiggle, they jump and they run,
And each one’s got a way to have fun!
Arlo’s got a gadget with buttons and light,
He’s hackin’ the toaster just right!
“System online!” he shouts with glee,
“This laser fan’s now powered by tea!”
Hugo stomps with a dinosaur roar,
Pretendin’ he’s a Rex on the concrete floor.
He growls and he chomps and he flaps his claws—
“Jurassic snack time!” (With extra sauce).
Luca’s got animals made out of socks,
They ride little carts and dance on rocks.
He builds a world in Roblox Town,
Then hugs a plush goat upside down.
Barret’s in boots and a helmet too,
Chasin’ chickens like the tractors do!
He digs with a spoon, makes engine sounds—
“This puddle’s a pit stop battleground!”
Meadow spins webs with invisible thread,
Spider-Man stickers stuck to his head.
He casts a spell with a wizard hat—
“Accio snacks!” (Well, imagine that!)
Little Lupin just coos and claps,
Laughs at the jingles and takes tiny naps.
He loves Miss Rachel and big boy shoes,
But no peanuts! (That’s big news.)
So dance in your boots, or wiggle in place,
Wipe that giggle all over your face!
From bunker to bunker, they laugh and play—
The Bunker Bunch saves the day!
Signal fading… playtime complete. This has been a K–N–F–7 Kids Broadcast.
