The Moonrockers Showtape is an official CEI showtape to the retrofit show of the main Rock-afire Explosion, called the Moonrockers.

The tape consists of 2 skits and 3 songs, used to demo at IAAPA for potential buyers. Nobody purchased the show, leaving the characters to instead be used in promotional videos for CEI moving forward.

The show would be swapped out multiple times a day with a standard Rock-afire Explosion, which would be acknowledged by the characters during the first two skits of the tape. These segments would play during the setup process, the first being when Mitzi's cosmetics were swapped, and the second once the setup had finished and the curtains were closed.

Trivia

• The song has not been heard in its entirety, with only clips from promo videos being available. An extended clip of the song became an exclusive video to the CEI Premium Video service, which was teased on the CEI YouTube channel to bring in new subscribers to the service. The extended clip in full has not publicly been posted, however leaked uploads surface every once and a while.
• Only one reel of the showtape was ever made, and it is unclear if a master audio tape still exists.
• Snapper, a previous employee of CEI in the early 2000's, known for infamously stealing lots of rare items from the CEI warehouse to be uploaded online, almost stole the Moonrockers show reel. It is rumored he picked up the reel, before setting it back down, claiming it was too boring to be worth stealing.
