But once Mark&amp;#8217;s acting career took off it became obvious it wasn&amp;#8217;t going to happen.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guys say they reached out to Marky Mark in 2008, but he respectfully declined -- \"He expressed that he would love to be on tour doing music again, but he felt he was too far removed from it.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the Bunch -- who still performs together without Mark -- tells TMZ they remain hopeful ... but realistic ... explaining it would be a thrill to perform classic hits like \"Good Vibrations\" with Mark, but they're not exactly holding their breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/-eSN8Cwit_s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
