It's the last day of school
Kate came home at noon today. I pulled her aside and had her watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeZxRYXZ
As we got to the chorus, she said, "Hey, that's like today!" We bopped around to the song and she sang along to the chorus herself by the end.
Listening to this song was an annual ritual once I discovered it in middle school on Dr. Demento. I used to bring my cassette tape with me in my '86 Jetta so I could listen to it on the way home.
I have never seen Alice Cooper before seeing this video today. The fact that Cooper, all goth'd up and sneering, is standing around with all these smiling colorful 70s teens---no stagecraft, no scary lighting, nothin'. It's just him, rockin' out with his oddball saber, with hip movement that could be found on a late 90s girl popstar. At the end? Cue the bubble machine. Nothing says angry goth like a bubble machine.
