Pretty much every song is excellent and it’s great he can create such great work so far into his career.
    Similarly, I made the interesting discovery today that listening to Alice Cooper’s Special Forces<\/i> (an old favorite) on the way to work can really improve one’s mood. Sadly, this 1982 release is only available as an import — get with it, WEA!<\/i> — but is worth it just for its witty lyrics and the suite of songs that used to comprise Side Two.
    So let’s continue the Special Forces<\/i> celebration:
    \u2022 This site contains a wealth of information, even including the songs typically performed during the Special Forces<\/i> tour. Shockingly, only one song was performed off the album! http:\/\/www.alicecoopershow.co.uk\/albums\/sf\/alice_cooper_special_forces.htm<\/a>
    The lyric transcriptions do not appear to be all that accurate, which is a shame since so many other sites appear to have copied it. Hence the spelling “pyjamas” showing up on so many other lyrics sites.
    \u2022 This<\/i> guy though seems have done a better job transcribing. I also like the way he formatted the lyrics for one of my favorite songs off the album.

    \u2022 Here’s Rolling Stone<\/i>‘s Special Forces<\/i> page

    At least their reader<\/i> reviewers like it.

    And returning to The Eyes of Alice Cooper<\/i>…
    I had a feeling there might be alternate covers for this album, and this page shows I was right.

    Something else I noticed this morning while driving to work — and while listening to the \u201cYou’re a Movie\u201d song — \u201cmovie\u201d is a really dumb word. \u201cMuu-veee<\/i>\u201d. It’s so silly. It makes as much sense to nickname a motion picture a \u201cblinky\u201d or a \u201cstrippy\u201d. (And \u201cfilm\u201d is not much better.)\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
