Like other recurring themes such as The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, the group is made up of familiar VeggieTales characters performing specific roles. The members of the band are Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt, Junior Asparagus, and Jimmy Gourd. The foursome and their name are parodies of "boy-bands" including Boyz n the Hood and the Backstreet Boys.

Bellybutton
"Belly Button", their first song, is Lunt's musical lament that he lacks a navel depicted through his visit to a medical clinic. Tim Hodge voices Khalil the Caterpillar, who appears dressed as a physician who informs Lunt that his stem serves the purpose as a belly button. While originally included as the Silly Song for The Ballad of Little Joe, the video was released separately and won the Children's Jury Award for Animated Short Film or Video at the 2004 Chicago International Children's Film Festival. The song has been cited as the favorite silly song of VeggieTales co-creator and voice of Larry Mike Nawrocki and Milwaukee Bucks center Jake Voskuhl.
A Mess Down in Egypt
For the silly song in the VeggieTales episode Moe and the Big Exit, the group interrupts the silly song announcer in order to tell the Moses story their own way, with a rap entitled "A Mess Down in Egypt". As you know, Mr. Lunt in the dark blue shirt leads this song too. This is the 2nd one in a row Mr. Lunt sang. The movie website, Rotten Tomatoes, called the silly song a "charmingly goofy musical number".
Bubble Rap
The song appears on the Silly Song compilation video, If I Sang A Silly Song as the band, again joined by Khalil, sings of the wonders of the packing material
