alice cooper mentioned in song(s)
hi all,
just a tiny little thing, but funny :
Happened to hear “Go Robot” from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on the
radio this morning.
Checked out the lyrics and there it was:
Sometimes I feel like I'm a sentimental trooper
She cried so hard, you know she looked like Alice Cooper
perhaps other examples?

You like Alice Cooper
You like Ringo Starr
You like David Bowie

Pretty much all of 'Why Must I Be So Sad' by They Might Be Giants from the 'John Henry' album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3BCVtYkbIs
"No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I've been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
Ask me now
I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me
I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad? (sad, sad, sad)
(sad, sad, sad)
No one knows these things but me and him
So I'm writing everything down in a spiral notebook
In the hopes that one day
Other people will feel as low as this
Ask me now
I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me
I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad? (sad, sad, sad)
No More Mister Nice Guy
I Love the Dead
I've been thinking about it
Now I understand what he said
Ask me now
I understand the words that Alice said
I kick the rocks beneath me
I squint at the sun
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Why must I be sad?
The rows of dandelions growing all around me
Why must I be sad? (Welcome to My Nightmare / Dead)
Why must I be sad? (Babies / Raped and Freezin' / You)
Why must I be sad? (Drive Me Nervous / Elected)
Why must I be sad? (Generation Landslide / Un)
Why must I be sad? (der My Wheels / Muscle of Love)
Why must I be sad? (School's Out / Only Women Bleed)
Why must I be sad? (Billion Dollar Babies)
Why must I be sad? (sad, sad, sad)
(sad, sad, sad)
(sad, sad, sad)
(sad, sad)"

What Kind Of Girl Do You Think We Are? (Zappa/Mothers - Fillmore East)
Howard:
What's a girl like you
Doin' in a place like this?
Mark:
I left my place after midnight
And I came to this hall
Me and my girlfriend, we came here
Lookin' to ball
Howard:
You came to the right place
This is it
This is the swingin'-est place
In New York City
Chorus:
NO SHIT!
Mark:
How true that is!
Howard:
Oh, how true indeed
Mark:
Yeah, me and my,
Me and my girlfriend, we come here
Every Friday 'n Saturday night looking for that
Hot romance we need
We like to get it on—
Do you like to get it on, too?
Howard:
Well now, what did you have in mind?
Mark:
Well, I'll tell ya
Well I get off bein' juked
With a baby octopus
And spewed upon with creamed corn . . .
An' my girlfriend, she digs it
With a hot Yoo-hoo bottle
While somebody's screamin':
CORKS 'N SAFETIES
PIGS 'N DONKEYS
ALICE COOPER, baby . . .
WAAAAH!
Bob:
Well, it gets me so hot
I could scream
Chorus:
ALICE COOPER, ALICE COOPER! WAAAAH!
ALICE COOPER, ALICE COOPER! WAAAAH!
Howard:
You two chicks sound real far out and groovy
Ever been to a Holiday Inn?
Mna-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa . . .
Magic Fingers in the bed (Picture it!)
Wall-mounted TV screens
Coffee-Host plugged into the bathroom wall
Formica's really keen!
Chorus:
(What kind of girl?)
What kind of girl do you think we are?
(What kind of girl?)
What kind of girl do you think we are?
(I ain't no groupie)
Don't call us groupies
That is going too far
(What kind of girl?)
We wouldn't ball you
Just because you're a star
FZ:
These girls wouldn't let just anybody
Spew on their vital parts
They want a guy from a group
With a big hit single in the charts!
Howard:
Funny you should mention it
Our new single made the charts this week
With a bullet!
With a bullet!
Just let me put a little more
Rancid Budweiser on my beard right now, baby
And you can show me how
A young girl such as you
Might be thrilled and
Overwhelmed by me, ho-ho . . .
Mark:
What hotel did you say you were staying at?
Howard:
Wanna split right away?
Mark:
Not so fast, you silly boy . . .
There's one thing I gotta say
Chorus:
We want a guy from a group who's got a thing in the charts
We want a guy from a group who's got a thing in the charts
We want a guy from a group who's got a thing in the charts
We want a guy from a group who's got a thing in the charts

"Well I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy chick
To wipe off his snake, and keep him rich"

Re: alice cooper mentioned in song(s)
Austrian singer Udo Jürgens had a song called 'Er oder sie' in 1973 (it's in German):
'Jeder Mensch ist er oder sie
Doch bei manchen weiß man das nie
Draus wird oft ein Star
Alice Cooper, David Bowie
Sind die zwei nun er oder sie
Das ist keinem klar.'
which roughly translates to 'Every human being is a he or a she, but with some you never know, those often become stars. Alice Cooper, David Bowie, are these two a he or a she? No one knows.'
The musically pleasant but lyrically very dumb song also mentions Suzi Quatro, Marc Bolan and The Sweet.

Wednesday 13 - Something This Way Comes
"Alice Cooper and G.I Joe, taught me everything I need to know
And when I hear 'HEY-HO', I scream 'LET'S GO', Baby.
There's something wicked, there's something wicked"
Rob Zombie - Get Your Boots On! That's The End Of Rock And Roll
"Well, Frank said to Alice
"Don't tell anybody that you didn't kill the chicken"
Let the illusion in Toronto survive
And live beyond what is always written"

Re: alice cooper mentioned in song(s)
From patrick:
"perhaps other examples?"
"Put The Money Down" by The Who and "Scared" by Dangerous Toys should be included.

Re: alice cooper mentioned in song(s)
Was listening to Neal Smith's KILLSMITH TWO (2011) and quite a few references to Alice:
"2000 Miles From Detroit"- I miss Ted, Iggy, Alice and The MC5/I'm gonna leave LA before I'm buried alive.
"Suicide Highway"- Raped by her Priest, Raped by her Father, beaten by her boyfriend, 'cause he thinks that she is Cold Ethyl and he is Alice Cooper.
"Kiss My Rock"-More of a commentary of the band prior to the RARHOF induction -Mentions "Snakes Makeup Blood and Guillotines", how they were disliked, BDB going to #1 and "Our Madness was our Genius". Very similar in context to Dennis's "The Real Thing" from BOUCHARD DUNAWAY AND SMITH (2001)
Also, the track "Evil Voodoo Moon" was used as part of "I'll Bite Your Face Off"
