The cast of Bob’s Burgers have surprised fans by teaming up for a very unexpected, and very fabulous, musical performance. The beloved voice actors from the hit animated sitcom have released a cover of Chappell Roan’s viral pop anthem ‘Pink Pony Club’, and it’s every bit as quirky as you’d hope.
The cover sees the gang, including H. Jon Benjamin (Bob), John Roberts (Linda), Kristen Schaal (Louise), Dan Mintz (Tina), and Eugene Mirman (Gene), trading lines, harmonising, and bringing their iconic characters’ voices to the flamboyant track. The result? A performance that feels like it could slot perfectly into one of the show’s musical episodes.

If you’re wondering why this happened, well… the cast aren’t really offering a clear explanation. It’s the kind of wonderfully random thing you’d expect from Bob’s Burgers, equal parts bizarre, charming, and oddly moving. Some fans have speculated that the cover could be part of a charity campaign or a promotional tie-in for an upcoming episode, while others think the cast simply wanted to join in the online love for Chappell Roan’s breakout hit.
‘Pink Pony Club’, released in 2020, has been described by Roan as her “lesbian cowboy disco” song, a euphoric ode to embracing who you are and finding your place on the dancefloor. It’s since become a cult favourite, especially within the LGBTQ+ community, and has gained new life thanks to Roan’s recent rise to fame.
Hearing the Bob’s Burgers cast put their spin on it is unexpectedly joyful. Roberts’ Linda gives her usual theatrical gusto, Schaal’s Louise adds playful chaos, and Mintz’s deadpan Tina delivers lines with that trademark awkward cool. Even Benjamin’s gruff Bob gets into the groove, though in the most Bob-like way possible.
Fans have taken to social media to share their delight, with comments like:
“Didn’t have ‘Bob’s Burgers sings Pink Pony Club’ on my 2025 bingo card, but I’m so glad it’s here.”
“This is somehow both completely ridiculous and deeply moving.”
“I need this on Spotify immediately.”
The sitcom has always had a strong musical streak, over its 14 seasons, Bob’s Burgers has featured hundreds of original songs, musical parodies, and elaborate show tunes. From “Electric Love” to “Bad Stuff Happens in the Bathroom”, the show’s soundtrack has built its own cult following. This latest performance feels like a natural (if unexpected) continuation of that tradition.
Whether this is a one-off or a hint of more surprise covers to come remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: Bob’s Burgers has once again proved that it knows exactly how to serve up the perfect mix of humour, heart, and melody.
