I never considered the deeper applications of this tune. I just thought it was Alice being a demented shock rocker, however, now I see it as a parody of the excessively crazy rock and roll lifestyle of 'sex, drugs and rock n roll'. Thanks for the greater insight. Alice Cooper often went deeper than the surface, when it came to lyrical meanings.
I realize that if we make claims open to challenge and you pick that up, then you sometimes get put in the firing line! Not that I'd want to do that to you, Philip. But here I'm pretty solid this is Donovan sharing the lead with Alice Cooper.
You didn't want to go there calling out Donovan as being in this duet with Alice Cooper? Pretty non-controversial; Donovan gets vocal credits on this song, pretty well established and documented.
Glen Buxton- Lead Guitar, Michael Bruce - Rythm Guitar, dennis Dunaway Bass & backiing vocals, Neil Smith-drums
Nice! Thank you so much for that information! Really appreciate it!
I'd forgotten just how much fun and entertaining are your Alice Cooper reactions! I'm diving right back into this one!
Just found you. Subscribed. Thumbs up. My first Alice Cooper song was "Halo of flies", never stopped listening.
For those who don't know , this is essentially a duet with the Great Donovan......................Hurdy Gurdy Man , lalena and Season of the Witch.
Great one!
Yep, we're going to need to look up the bandmember's names on the original Alice Cooper band to get you the name of the guitarist.
You should do "Elected" by Alice Cooper next, Philip! Wicked guitar riffs in this song!

That bass was crazy! Did you hear how fast he was playing the notes?
This song came out over 50 years ago and you never heard it before? Yeah, right.
