-'""We also used to have this little featurette in the show which was like a news flash of what happened the night before on the road and some of those are real sick. On one of them (vocalist) [[Napoleon Murphy Brock]] started making up the words, based on a true story, about a guy who tried to force his way into (percussionist) Ruth Underwood's hotel room in Pittsburgh, Penn. She had ordered room service and she was wearing some kind of nightgown and she opened the door to push the tray out and this Xerox salesman-type guy tried to jump in the room and she kicked him in the nuts. Napoleon sang it all on stage the next night."''

 Well, we have another song for you that goes far beyond "Louie-Louie", "Ruthie-Ruthie", or even "Brian-Brian". This song is so advanced, it takes us all the way from 1955 directly to approximately 1957, which is when it should have been written; but actually it was written about 1970. This is a song we like to dedicate this song to Marty, our road manager, who has a fondness for the canine species, and the orifice attendant thereto.<br>
