Backstory:
Gummy Expenditure is a band that emerged from the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas, in 2011. The band includes five members who originally met in a local record store, bonding over their shared love for music, sarcasm, and gummy bears. The name “Gummy Expenditure” was actually a spontaneous idea while they were joking about their excessive spending on gummies. Deciding to turn the joke into a reality, they formed a band to create an eclectic mix of music that went on to break boundaries and captivate audiences.
After years of playing local gigs and refining their sound, the band caught the attention of renowned music producer, Dave Cobb, who helped them to release their debut album in 2014. Despite the initial struggle, Gummy Expenditure soon gained traction and built a strong fan base with their quirky band name, distinctive sound, and utterly unique lyrics.

Full Song Lyrics:
[Intro: A – G – D]
(Verse 1)
[A] I woke up this morning, [G] found my soul longing,
[D] For the taste of a gummy bear, [A] sweet and daunting.
[G] I headed to the store, [D] pockets full of dreams,
[A] Empty when I left, a gummy [G] expenditure it seems.
(Chorus)
[D] Oh, I’ve got the Bouncy Castle Blues,
[G] My pockets are empty, but I’ve got no clues.
[A] I spent it all on gummies, [G] beautiful and bright,
[D] Now I’m dancing alone, beneath the [A] moonlight.
(Verse 2)
[A] My heart’s like a jukebox, [G] playing the blues,
[D] Echoing the rhythm of my gummy [A] expenditure dues.
[G] I see the world through a rainbow, [D] gummy delight,
[A] Even though my pockets, are [G] out of sight.
(Chorus)
[D] Yeah, I’ve got the Bouncy Castle Blues,
[G] My pockets are empty, but I’ve got no clues.
[A] I spent it all on gummies, [G] beautiful and bright,
[D] Now I’m dancing alone, beneath the [A] moonlight.
(Outro: A – G – D)

Maggie’s Testimonial:
“I’ve been a fan of Gummy Expenditure since their first gig at the local bar. Their music is a refreshing splash of colour in a world that can sometimes be dull and monotonous. Their song ‘Bouncy Castle Blues’ resonates with me on a personal level. It’s not just about gummy bears; it’s about the little things that bring joy and the sacrifices we all make for those moments. To me, Gummy Expenditure is not just a band; they’re storytellers painting the world with their witty lyrics and enchanting melodies.”
