Good day and welcome to another Friday broadcast from Kanttila FM.
Sadly, we are nearing the end of Melvin And The Bots discography. Things were never the same after the incident where Melvin took a shot of beer and fell off the stage. He was rebuilt, but no one really understood what happened.
His voice changed, his appearance looked more robotic. Was he changing his image to coincide with the 1999 release of The Phantom Menace? That's what some news outlets said at the time. You can still find old rumors about Melvin by diving deep into the Geocities archives where all his fansites were run.
"Ass Blaster" was the second single from Melvin And The Bots. It had modest success in Canada but it was a bit of an underground hit in some circles. Ultimately it would prove to be the final release from the band.
A fight ensued between Melvin and producer Beveragoo during the recording, captured on audio. Both sang vocals on the track, the inspiration behind the song is unknown. The Cylon animatronics were pushed to their limit for this song and some broke down and played in different keys at the end.
So we hope you enjoy the final single released by Melvin And The Bots, coming at you from Kanttila FM.
Ass blaster

Yes you have, you're number one
I wish you were my son
So I could be allowed to love you

@klaus Feb 2022
Hah, this is great. It's totally weird and crazy but oh so catchy and just a lot of fun.
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
how mutha flipping cool is this song?!
from start to finish... loved it.

I heard a rumour that Melvin was payed big money for promoting Snickers, but than when the execs at Mars heard this song, they pulled the contract. Beveragoo went after them, taking them to court, but in the end he lost. There was a Geocities site called "The Real Melvin & The Bots Story" that claimed to have proof of all of this happening, but it was taken down around the same time that the band's records (both vinyl & financial) were burned by the record company.
This was an ass blast from the past. Loved it!
See You In The Shadows…

Melvin is blasting ass in a better place now... the masses never deserved all the glorious ass blasting anyway :D
This was delightfully quirky, and well put together it sounds like a great time! I particularly loved that last chaotic 30ish seconds.
@sherrylynnlee Feb 2022
LMAO
This was thoroughly entertaining as always!
@silvermachine Feb 2022
Another unmissable nugget from the wild mind of Kanttila.
Delightfully silly and bizarre maybe, yet totally original and total entertainment.
@sph Feb 2022
Battlestar Galactica, the second film I saw on a really big screen, the first being the first Star wars.
Let's say I was young enough to be impressed.
Talking about being impressed: this is wonderfully silly
@nadine Feb 2022
WTF what did I just listen to? Cylones weren't these the clone creatures from Dr Who?! I'm sure that the last guitar riff is from another dimension. Where is my sonic screwdriver?!
@br0th3rh00d Feb 2022
This reminds me of Doctorin' the Tardis by The Timelords, Star-Trekkin' by The Firm and I'll Be Back by Arnie and the Terminators. And I get that it's a wider-angle mash-up. But there is an allowably very autistic part of me going: but that picture is a cylon not from Tremors 2! Ass-blasters being from Tremors 2! I might not even be right! Too busy mentally testing if it accidentally or otherwise endorses 'Dr Phil's message' hoho. Sorry. Kinda cool though! The back story and everything. Deliberately so (sometimes can be obnoxious, mood dependant really). But yeah. :-)
@johncrossman Feb 2022
Far out. I think this is my introduction and what better way to introduce than with this blast. I shall have to go back since I'm coming at it ass-backwards. Loads of fun, this one!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
What a way for Melvin to go! Very good! No fading away for Melvin. Ass blaster!!!!
@cloudhopper Feb 2022

@billwhite51 Feb 2022

@fuzzy Feb 2022
I have really liked your Melvin tunes very much.
This is truly bizarre.
And yet so glorious.
Hahaha great ending for sure.
