This band was always under rated by the main stream for their talent, despite their dominance of the music scene and too never win a Grammy at that time proved they were ahead of their time and ignored by the voters.
This song epitomizes Alice Cooper. He was my first crush as a kid. I remember being in the backseat of my parents car, passing theaters featuring his movie “ Welcome to my Nightmare”, but I was too young to go. Fast forward to 1990? something? whilst living in London I met the man at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus. I’m showing my age, but I don’t care. I still love him so. And I feel so strong.
I bought Billion Dollar Babies when I was 13 years old, and it quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time, and this song is a huge reason why. It never gets old, and is as great as the first time I heard it over 30 years ago.
The one and only greatest band ever “The Alice Cooper Group” Michael, Glen, Dennis & Neil! Oh and ALICE! Untouchable and one of kind, never will be beaten! This is in my top 5 Alice songs of all time!
@@johnhareiel5118 all by the Original Alice Cooper Group would be… 1) No More Mr. Nice Guy 2) Elected 3) Hello Hooray 4) Schools Out 5) Shoe Salesman 6) Under My Wheels 7) Be My Lover 8) Public Animal #9 9) Desperado 10) Beautiful Flyaway
I saw him in Leeds a few years ago, with my daughter. He must have been 72 then but what a show! What a mover!! My daughter suddenly realised why I've always loved him and his music.
Got this album when I was 10 for Christmas and I played it a hundred times with headphones at night. Loved that album so much! The billion dollar bill the wallet and snake skin cover. Loved the Alice Cooper band!
Big time Alice fan! But, this song is one of my lifetime favorites not only by him but all of the music I’ve listened to for 59 years. Just soooo damn good👍
Listening to all this early Alice Cooper music just permeated in my mindset and totally altered my thinking on life and things in general. I wouldn't say that it warped my mind but it opened my eyes to another reality of life. And that was only listening to the records and not actually seeing The band in concert. After seeing Alice Cooper and the various incarnations of his band throughout the years performing live I dig the music and the theatrics but I still consider the listening of the music and songs the better experience of this particular band. I really appreciate the depth of Alice Cooper and his music.
I've loved the original Coop's music since being introduced to it as a 13 year old in '73. But by '75 or 76 I had thoroughly outgrown the theatrics and imagery that became plain formulaic (particularly after Shep sabotaged the band who by '74 were already sick of the costume BS) and never grew up along with me. In fact, I felt embarrassed for Cooper. But the music was always great, and it still is. This track is masterfully arranged and adapted from Kemp's original.
What an amazing,very creative,talented and special rock band..excellent musicians,composers and solid performers that survived the many roads,gigs,planes, booze,drugs,etc...some say this band was so good that a few of their songs still get airplay to this day and considered classic rock n roll songs...such as schools out..eighteen.. no more mr nice guy..elected..etc even a slow song that climbed the charts,only women bleed... truly talented group that made a big splash when blasted onto the music scene all those yrs ago...thanks for posting this
Exactly...1973...even the good kids at school had to have this album...and you could buy the top hats 🎩 almost anywhere. Alice gave us a damn good summer that year...
Alice has great following in Britain. There was a football match in '73 between Brighton and Portsmouth, lots of fighting. The Portsmouth fans came dressed as Alice, top hats, mascara, clothes, jewellery, the whole Detroit look. Trashed Brighton then they stormed along the seafront. Featured on the TV news film that evening.......
BACK IN THE DAY, or ONCE UPON A TIME...THE 70s...half the fun of a new album by your favorite rocker was.. The artwork of the album cover, and ALICE was king of the over-the -top album sleeves. LOVE IT TO DEATH was called a gatefold cover, it opened up to twice its length and there was this STARTLING high contrast photo of the Alice eyes with the makeup...SCHOOLS OUT was a masterpiece of comic art.. A school desk that you assembled by perforations on the cardboard, the top lifted up like a desk, and the album had...are ya ready...a pair of lacy panties stretched over the album...BILLION DOLLAR BABIES opened up like a green snakeskin wallet and had a giant billion dollar bill on it (with Alice's face on it....this of course instantly got put on our walls)....MUSCLE OF LOVE was in a flat cardboard shipping box...FROM THE INSIDE opened to reveal the asylum Alice was singing of on the concept thread of the songs., Alice's face an eerie shade of Wicked Witch of the West green (BTW, remember the song MILLIE AND BILLIE from that album....comically dark, or darkly comic?).. NOBODY EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THIS TODAY...A NEW ALICE ALBUM WAS AN EVENT.....AND STILL is!!!!
@@hjs1378 There were some other.great album cover artists from.the 70's.. Bowie (ziggy,Aladdin,Diamond Dogs)...Moody Blues (almost always a double gatefold with amazing pastiche of various styles)..Led Zeppelin...Queen...and of course, YES, (THE Roger Dean masterpieces...Jon Anderson did a solo album...Olias..and created a story based on Dean's other-worldly paintings)..... FTR, Jeff Wayne's WAR OF THE WORLDS the double album set with its amazing illustrated book was unforgettable ....still being performed almost 50 years later, with a couple of new editions that have been released, along with numerous remixes).. .so much fun..
Imagine how Alice must have felt at that moment? Nervous,of course but I mean having your dreams come true! He was on television! People were learning about him!
Alice was funny as hell on THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES. EVERYBODY just seemed to like him. I saw the Welcome to My Nightmare special on midnight tv with Vincent .Price
I met Malcolm.McDowell from A CLOCKWORK.ORANGE in New Mexico. .and he told me Alice was his golf buddy so that led to read Alice's biography GOLF MONSTER...LOTTA FUN AND A GOOD READ!!
Billion Dollar Babies is One of the best Albums of all time, this song exemplifies the vocal and written talent the band was capable of. Alice Cooper found his artistic niche and created works that will last forever.
Alice Cooper is one hell of an artist singer Who always brings out the best in me when I get down on myself I listen to his music 🎶🎶 God Bless him . Rock ON
I remember it also! South Florida had several great venues for all the heads and hippies back then. The Fronton, Sportatorium, Miami Baseball Stadium, Sunrise Musical Theater, etc. Good Times!
The first time I listened to this song was 35 years ago and the God I feel so strong line still gives ms cold shivers...... Such a powerful song and sung with such conviction.
Hello Hooray Lyrics Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin I've been ready Hello! Hooray!

This is the best Alice Cooper song ever
Actually a cover. Judy Collins
@@damndirtyape63 But written by Rolf Kempf
My favorite Cooper tune.
I'm going with "Loony tune" as Cooper's best song, but HELLO HURRAY is more qualified as the Cooper anthem.
Alison Watson yes
This song is so majestic truly amazing....after 50 years I still love it
This song is amazing!
God, this song makes me feel so strong
💪👽🤘
YES!
How could anyone dislike this. Great song.
Dubbed audio maybe.
Right?
Потому что они дебилы!
God...I...Feel....So...STROOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!!
Greatest cooper moment IMO>
This band was always under rated by the main stream for their talent, despite their dominance of the music scene and too never win a Grammy at that time proved they were ahead of their time and ignored by the voters.
This will be the first song played at my funeral .

We saw the live concert of Nightmare and it was the first one they had ever done... amazing show. Flint Michigan 1975

I saw him in Leeds a few years ago, with my daughter. He must have been 72 then but what a show! What a mover!! My daughter suddenly realised why I've always loved him and his music.
Same here. I took my daughter to Leeds and she realised why I loved him. What a show ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤

Frank Sinatra called Alice one of America's best songwriters..SINATRA covered YOU AND ME..from Lace&Whiskey.

It's really great to know I'm not the only one this songs holds with. It was a special time for sure...:)
Summer, ..1973. Vinyl for the house, 8 track for your wheels...
The Charisma of this performance is awesome !!
Thank you!!! This song took me out of my depression ahhh the power of music.
Yes, so exhilarating and powerful! His voice and singing is sometimes under-rated, but this powerhouse of a song showcases how good it is.
What an amazing,very creative,talented and special

Alice Cooper
"Hello Hooray"
Billion Dollar Babies
Warner Bros. Records, 1973
It reminds me of growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in1973! We were 11 at the time. Good time to be a kid!

One of my favorite Cooper songs ever!
What an absolutely incredible, monumental version of this song! The Best! Wahi' Valleys
My soul just melts at hearing that Mellotron in the first verse.
My favorite Alice Cooper song!!
I've been waiting so long to sing my song!
Imagine how Alice must have felt at that moment? Nervous,of course but I mean having your dreams come true! He was on television! People were learning about him!

I Love this Song
The secret to life: to BE strong but to never abuse that power.
Thou i have loved this song for many years, this is the first time i have seen the official video for it
この歌は、70年代という、本当に生き辛く過酷な日常で、何人のティーンエイジャーの命を救ったかしれない。
I met Malcolm.McDowell from A CLOCKWORK.ORANGE in New Mexico.
.and he told me Alice was his golf buddy so that led to read Alice's biography GOLF MONSTER...LOTTA FUN AND A GOOD READ!!

Alice Cooper is one hell of an artist singer
Who always brings out the best in me when
I get down on myself I listen to his music 🎶🎶 God Bless him . Rock ON
Ashamed to say..but only founds this amazing sonĝ last yr
No shame... You got here didn't you? I hope you enjoyed the journey
I like his Greatest Hits album.
My favorite alice cooper song and the year i was born ❤
Hes still the best .
Beyond the shock theatrics, Alice Cooper was a really good rock band
Every song by Alice is the greatest
The guitar tune killed it. ❤
From my favorite album by the band... the mind ran wild. This song is majestic.
And to you, too!❤️ I bought that album with odd job cash - I was 13 - it was a new record. Life was good and the music was superb.
Loved Alice and this song since his first big hit here in Britain in 1972, but is this a Ballard? I wouldn’t say so.
Fantastic♥️♥️♥️underrated cover.
Não canso de ouvir
Musicão
That album was a game changer
Those opening chords..on vinyl...DAMN!!!
Boa. Eu tô aqui impressionado com a música 🎸.Alice cooper me surpreende com o Ton 😮
Was shocked to learn that Judy Collins sang this song first. Would have never expected that at all.
Excellent single version of an excellent rock song.
Love this tune . Peace ✌️ 😎.
One of my all time favorites and one of the most is underated voice's ever...... This song is deceivingly deep.
Alice on TV FINALLY getting to sing his song!
Damn! This song is incredible!
Toujours fan depuis 1970 .
Great song loving it...
Alice the best
it's amusing to me when people compare this to Judy Collins' version. Apples and oranges.
Circus freaks and Hula hoops....awesome
Alice you r so beautifull
Val V He is a SWEETHEART
First song, first concert ever... 1973... Pirate's World, Dania, FL.
Omg,that place really existed..no one today would believe it. Alice,Bowie,Led Zeppelin all played there. Good for you!!
I remember it also! South Florida had several great venues for all the heads and hippies back then. The Fronton, Sportatorium, Miami Baseball Stadium, Sunrise Musical Theater, etc. Good Times!
It’s been done. Thank Oregon!❤️🎱🤓👌🏿
Best Incredible Hulk song ever
The first time I listened to this song was 35 years ago and the God I feel so strong line still gives ms cold shivers...... Such a powerful song and sung with such conviction.

Hello Hooray Lyrics
Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin
I've been ready
Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim
I've been ready
Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every moment, every scream
I've been waiting so long to sing my song
And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Yeah, I've been thinkin' so long, I was the only one
Roll out! Roll out with your American dream and its recruits
I've been ready
Roll out! Roll out with your circus freaks and hula hoops
I've been ready
Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every moment, every scream
I've been waiting so long to sing my song
And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Oh, I've been thinking so long, I was the only one
And I can stand here strong and thin
And I can laugh when this thing begins
God, I feel so strong, I feel so strong
I'm so strong, I feel so strong
I feel so strong, so strong
God, I feel so strong, I am so strong
So strong, I feel so strong, I feel so strong
I feel so strong, I feel so strong, I feel so strong
Yes I'm strong, feel so strong, feel so strong

Revenche tasts like honey. I feel so strongggggggggggggg

Oh, those were days, to be young again, to feel so invincible.

Shame they cut out the guitar solo and DD's incredible climbing bass line underneath.
Billion Dollar Babies my favourite Alice Cooper Band album ,God I Feel So Strong.
