Mel’s Rockpile [R40 Live]

[instrumental]

(Eugene Levy as "Rockin' Mel Slirrup" from "SCTV")

Wow. Fantastic, that was a little bit of too much, huh? Good evening, I'm Rockin' Mel Slirrup and, ah, we're going to have a lot of fun tonight.   'Cause before we get to the headliners that you guys have paid the big bucks to see, we have an opening act that, ah, I think is gonna keep you bopping and grooving. Ah, these guys have been playing together for a couple of years, they've opened twice for KISS. How about that, unbelievable, these guys have actually opened for KISS. They've been playing together now for a couple of years and I think that if they stick together, they hopefully might pick up a couple more members, because, everybody knows, three guys does not a rock band make. (Crowd laughs) Though I wish them luck in trying to pick up maybe a couple of horns or something that might give their sound a little more pop. But in the meantime, let's put our hands together and give these young Canadian kids a Rockin' Mel welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, the trio who call themselves Rush.
