Collector's Corner #6

It was Easter of 1996. Jason woke up and discovered a basket the Easter bunny had left for him. One of the first things to catch his eye was a large, pink, rectangular crinkly package with a transparent window displaying its content of popcorn. And the label read "Bumpy and Jumpy: Popcorn Bunnies"!!!

It wasn't long after Easter that a new song was recorded for Mune Mud's Equation of Time album that came out later that same year. The name of the song was "Bumpy and Jumpy" and it was the story of two young bunnies made of popcorn whose mother warned them not to venture too close to humans or they would be caught and used as Easter treats. As the sad story goes, Bumpy and Jumpy were caught and put into a human's Easter basket. But in the end their mother had more bunnies so everything turned out ok.

Jason just couldn't bring himself to eat the popcorn bunnies that inspired one of the silliest songs the Studio has ever recorded, so it remains on display in the Metal XOR Studio Museum.
