Boyz in the Sink facts for kids

Boyz in the Sink is a fun, pretend music group from the popular show VeggieTales. They first showed up in 2003 during a "Silly Songs with Larry" part of the episode called The Ballad of Little Joe. You could also see them in Moe and the Big Exit (2007) and later in 2012 in If I Sang A Silly Song and Robin Good and The Not-So-Merry Men.

Just like other groups in VeggieTales, such as The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, Boyz in the Sink is made up of characters you already know. The band members are Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt, Junior Asparagus, and Jimmy Gourd. Their name and style are a funny take on real-life "boy bands" like NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.

Songs by Boyz in the Sink

Boyz in the Sink are known for their silly and memorable songs. These songs often appear as special segments in VeggieTales episodes.

"Belly Button" Song

This song was first part of The Ballad of Little Joe. It was also released on its own and won an award at the 2004 Chicago International Children's Film Festival. Many people, including VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki, have said this is their favorite silly song.
