Chuck E. Cheese's - Physical Fitness (February 1992)

Showtape Title: Physical Fitness
Release Date: February 14, 1992

This was Chuck E. Cheese's March 1992 show, and it is themed around getting in shape, and staying fit. It features six songs fitting that theme, originals such as "Country Dancin'' and the heart-warming "Don't Ever Get Up", covers like "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Dem Bones "(Which even though it is generic, it's still a cover), and "Tighten Up", which is preformed as a way to introduce the band, and even includes Charlie Rockit, and a parody of the Village People's "Macho Man", "Muncho Man". The two originals from this tape, as well as "Dem Bones" would be used in the intermissions of future tapes. On the topic of songs, this was also the debut of a brand new CEC original song to be used as the Hidden Bday show, replacing Birthday Extravaganza, that being the CEC signature Birthday song, Birthday Star. Birthday Star was written by a CEC cast member, and was originally a hidden birthday song like it's predecessor. It would remain hidden until the January 1994 show, although it would be released on a separate tape in September 1992. The original version of Birthday Star would continue to be used as the main birthday song until the March of 1995, although the tape would remain valid until December 2000. With the April 1995 show, a new version of Birthday Star would be released featuring the cast that Disney had hired to voice the characters at the time. This version would be used from April 1995 until December 2000, although different variations were released with different intros. With the release of the January 2001 show, another remake of Birthday star was released. It was very similar to the 1995 version, but with the Avenger-Era voice cast. This version was used from January 2001 until December 2007. Following that, CEC would introduce a new format for birthday shows, that were longer, and featured more audience participation. Since then, every birthday show released has been in that format. Despite that, Birthday Star is still featured in these Birthday shows in some way, shape or form, and even if it has been rewritten, it is still the same song from 30 years ago. Back to Physical Fitness, it was also the final show where Bob West did Jasper's singing voice until January 1996, and Karisa's final time ever doing Helen's singing voice. Both characters would get new singing voices in the following show, Environment.
