Purposely crafted this instrumental track to sound like classic rock in the vein of AC/DC for a pitch. It also has seemed to acquire a Free/Bad Company vibe. I had fun getting the guitar tones and drums to "sound like". I heard in a panel once about putting a little bit of distortion on the drums so that's what I done did!
Bonus: There is cowbell in this!

One summer day at a New Jersey park for load-in and soundcheck, I spied, across a wide open green expanse of park, a....girl and her....dog...interacting under a tree. Purely on thinking it was a good title, I went from there with any kind of story line this song might take.

***** LYRICS *****
A GIRL AND HER DOG
Looking out across the green
Not a soul to be seen
Just a girl and her dog
Just like any other day
Till my thoughts began to stray
Toward the girl and her dog
We spend our lives tugging on the leash
Whatever's out of reach looks so inviting
We wag our tails until the bitter end
Every now and then we think get our way
I turned away to watch the clouds
Dancing shadows all around
The girl and her dog
CHORUS
Like a bulldog with a bone
I can't leave well enough alone
And so this song
About a girl and her dog
A friend mentioned something to me his mom used to say, "Mama gonna whoop you" So, used the title and went from there. I knew this Blues/Rock song had to be fun with a title like that.

***** LYRICS *****
MAMA GONNA WHOOP YOU
Sneakin' out back
Kickin' at the cat
Boy you better watch she don't run off
Jumpin' that fence
Ain't makin' no sense
You know what gonna happen when you get caught?
Mama gonna whoop you
You better watch out
For cryin' out loud
Mama gonna whoop you
Mama gonna whoop you
Better you quit
Here's a little tip, now
Fear the boom boom
Mama gonna whoop you
Comin' in late
Makin' that face
Hoping those puppy eyes save your neck
She ain't no fool
It's the dog house for you
You're gonna get a lickin' that you won't forget
BRIDGE
You act so tough
But it's scary stuff
When she's winding up
