Alice can do no wrong by me, but he's really beating this 'Rah! Rah! Detroit!' thing into the ground.

Not sure if I like it or not. I agree with the lyrical sentiment not sure if I consider it a good song or not though. Leaning towards no...

WTF was that??
Sounds like a generic 60's pop jingle, with no 'Alice' identity what so ever.
Easily and instantly one of the worst songs in his catalogue. Right up there with (No More) Love At Your Convenience.

Apperently Alice and Sheryl were both infected with Covid: dve.iheart.com/content/2021-02-12-alice-cooper-wife-sheryl-cooper-get-painless-covid-19-vaccine/?Keyid=socialflow&Pname=local_social&Sc=editorial&fbclid=IwAR22oUXNVlWJ-mNEY391sSu0RPOz7VPDa5NIBtFGg-WUkREDlqy_njP50OYAlice Cooper, Wife Sheryl Cooper Get 'Painless' COVID-19 VaccineRock News By Andrew Magnotta @andrewmagnotta Feb 12, 2021 Alice Cooper and his wife Sheryl Cooper have each received an initial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, following a prior bout with the novel coronavirus.The Coopers' home state of Arizona is currently in Phase 1B of vaccine distribution, now allowing adults age 65 and over to make appointments for the shot. Speaking with AZ Central, the couple thanked the local volunteers and the nonprofit Team Rubicon who helped out at the vaccination site, making the whole experience "painless," according to Sheryl. "Everybody out here's been really nice," Alice added. "You don't feel like you are in danger of anything." Alice was on tour in Europe last winter as the virus was spreading across the continent. He recalled spending "all day doing Purell, washing my hands. Every time you would touch something, you'd realize, 'Well, how do you know that wasn't infected?' Although he felt safer back home in The Grand Canyon State, that's where he and Sheryl ultimately got infected. Alice says getting sick actually allayed his fears for his own safety against COVID-19, but he emphasized that he's concerned about more than just himself. "...[Y]ou've got to consider everybody," he said. "You never know what the guy next door's health problems are."Another famous Arizona-based rocker was less fortunate than Alice in his own experience with COVID-19. Tool singer Maynard James Keenan contracted COVID-19 twice, last year, he revealed — once while on tour in February and again this past November. Keenan, 56, was still dealing with lung damage and after-effects from the first infection when he got sick again nine months later. He was briefly hospitalized in early-December after developing pneumonia.

What do you do when you feel like you've been ran over by a truck on a Saturday evening? You watch the Alice Cooper band meeting. It was actually fun.
Learned Alice and Sheryl got damn covid, but fortunately made it through okay.

That was pretty good. The intro reminds me of the intro to Serious.
Typical Cooper humor in this one. Probably not a perfect quote, but this part made me chuckle:"I hate you and your spider eyes...a guillotine? Oh, big surprise!"

HOW ALICE COOPER GOT IT RIGHT AND HIT IT BIG WITH ‘LOVE IT TO DEATH’
MICHAEL GALLUCCIPublished: March 8, 2016 It took Alice Cooper two uninspired albums and a move to Detroit for the band to finally get it right. Nobody bought the first or second albums made by the quintet, which was still called Alice Cooper at the time (before its singer claimed the name for himself as a solo artist). Pretties for You and Easy Action -- released in 1969 and 1970, respectively -- were sludgy, messy and mired in period psychedelia. But on their third album, Love It to Death (which was released in March 1971), the group – inspired by the noisy rock bands they were encountering in their new home in Detroit, where the members had moved the previous year – turned up the volume, fine-tuned the songs and relaunched Alice Cooper as a tough rock 'n' roll band. Love It to Death sounded little like the Alice Cooper heard on the two earlier albums, and the LP transformed them into one of Detroit's premier bands. In almost no time, they went from mostly obscure Los Angeles (via Phoenix) rockers with an occasional headline-grabbing stage show to one of the architects of Detroit's hard-rock renaissance spearheaded by radical groups like the MC5 and the Stooges. And they had support in the form of a young producer from Canada named Bob Ezrin, who was given Love It to Death as his first-ever project. Along with some assistance from Guess Who producer Jack Richardson, he helped shape the sound of the record, working closely with the band as they sharpened their songwriting and locked into a proto-metal groove. In December 1970, Ezrin took Alice Cooper into a Chicago recording studio and helped change their, and his, future. Unlike their first two records, Alice Cooper's third LP locked into a mix of teenage sex, post-teen angst and here-come-the-'70s swagger, all backed by a sonic template that pushed the guitars up front. And Alice himself, Vincent Furnier, sang with a bratty confidence that was mostly absent from Pretties for You and Easy Action. And the songs were killer, particularly "Caught in a Dream" and "I'm Eighteen," which became Alice Cooper's first hit single, making it to No. 21. Ezrin -- who was 21 at the time and would go on to work with Kiss, Pink Floyd and Lou Reed, as well as continue a relationship with Cooper that carried over to his solo records -- polished the band's sound enough to raise commercial awareness. With Love It to Death, they hit the Top 40 for the first time. It was just the beginning. That relative success brought more people to the band's shows, which went even more over-the-top, with a couple of key album cuts serving as set pieces to two of Cooper's most famous stage productions, ones involving a straitjacket (during "Ballad of Dwight Fry") and electric chair ("Black Juju"). In a few years, the concerts would become a more significant part of Alice Cooper than the music. But on Love It to Death, the focus was on the songs and performances. Glenn Buxton and Michael Bruce's guitar interplay influenced generations of players, and within a couple of years, Alice Cooper would be one of the biggest bands on the planet. The album itself inspired everything from rock and pop to punk and metal over the decades. And while Alice Cooper, both the band and solo artist, made bigger records, they never made a better one.
