As related in our last post about this group, their keyboardist is out of commission for a while, but Big Marv has offered to fill in. Now their lead saxophonist has taken a leave of absence because of family issues. But Big Marv to the rescue again! He found a young lady playing a mean sax in a group a while back, and they offered her a a spot until their regular gets back. Melinda Volare is here name, and her prowess on the sax is put to good effect on this recording! She not only punctuated things nicely in the body of the song, but Big Marv keeps the ending going long enough to give her another opportunity for a few more licks!

Melvin Peckerwood and The Mama's Boys - Open Up A Can Of Whup Ass
Another tale from Melvin Peckerwood and The Mama's Boys. You keep annoying this guys girl and he's gonna Open Up A Can Of Whup Ass! This group fits in with most of the others here at Big And Tall Records in that they usually tell a story, this group's stories many times centers around the early 60's in story line and music.
Was laying on my couch, catching a nap
Dreaming sweet of so many things.
About hugging and smooching my sweetie,
And then my damn cell phone rings!
It startled me much, the phone’s on my lap
I grab it and answer, “Yessiree.”
It’s the voice of my sweetie crying
“It’s this guy that keeps bothering me!”
She’s sniffling and crying so bad,
I have trouble making her out
Then she calms down, tells me the tale
Then I’m told what it’s all about!
I told her she can relax,
I’ll take care of it.
He won’t bother you no more,
I can assure it….
Go to the cupboard, open the door,
Way up on top is what I’m looking for.
Just the thing to help out my lass,
A big old can of WHUP ASS!
The can of whup ass is dusty,
Haven't had to use it for a while
It's kind of old, bottom's all rusty,
Still got some in it,makes me smile!
Know the guy, a pain in the ass,
He goes by the name of Ralph.
If he doesn't leave her alone,
I'm gonna break him in half!
The can of whup ass is trusty,
Never has failed me before
Although the bottom's crusty,
Still got surprises in store!
Look up creepy Ralph's number,
But I can't seem to get him.
All I get is a message,
Chance of him answering is slim.
So I leave him a message -
You know who this is, you jerk!
If you don't leave her alone real fast!
You'll find out how hard I can work,
TO OPEN UP MY CAN OF WHUP ASS!
I'll mess you up, break you in half
If you don't quit being a pest!
She's not interested in you, Ralph!
Try your luck with the rest!
Evidently that's all it took to stop the creep
Now my girl is all smiles and is glad.
Nobody messes with my lady,
Unless they wanna end up real sad!
Put my can of WHUP ASS away,
Worked real good, Ralph believed it
Got it all sealed up and ready,
Still got some left if I need it.
WHUP ASS!
OPEN UP A CAN OF WHUP ASS!
CALL ME! MY NUMBER'S 1- 5-5-5- WHUP ASS!
