Asswhuppin' In A Trunk (a.k.a. Asswoop or Edward) is a track by Madhouse, included on NPG Ahdio Show # 6, but the track was not available as a separate download. Six years previously, however, the track was available as a short clip on the NPG Records Sampler Experience cassette given to some concertgoers on The Ultimate Live Experience tour, featuring various clips of "upcoming releases" - Asswhuppin' In A Trunk was featured from the announced third Madhouse album, 24 (as well as Ethereal Segue and Parlor Games from the same album). The album remains unreleased, however.
At the time of recording, Asswhuppin' In A Trunk was titled Edward, but was later renamed Asswoop or Asswhuppin' In A Trunk - both titles have been used, but Asswhuppin' In A Trunk appears to be the title settled on prior to the aborted release (used on both the NPG Records Sampler Experience and on NPG Ahdio Show # 6). Initial tracking (using the track's original name Edward) took place on 7 July 1993 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (during a five-hour session that also produced Carnac (later renamed 17), (Got 2) Give It Up, Parlor Games, Rootie Kazootie and a mostly-instrumental version of Space). In mid-1994, it was included (as Asswoop) as the fifth track (fourth song) on 24 (which included all the tracks recorded on 7 July 1993).
