This song was a tribute to their success with the Killer album "Dead babies". This was the beginning of shock-rock.
When Killer come out, the song Dead babies was their really first super-contraversial song. Alice Cooper already had learned (from the name) the negative publicity was best kind of publicity. The negative publicity of "Dead babies" hit the roof.
To me, Killer was Alice's best. Even still. Brutal Planet was pretty good and it's follow up album Dragon Town. But they still pale in comparison.
Dead babies, (incase you do not know) is a song about a child that dies due to parent's neglect.
The song is erie as it talks about such a cold blooded topic, sung almost in a pop music format. But gets heavier and heavier as it sweeps you away with orchastrated rock...
The song does make you want to cry. If your driving down the road you may want to pull over so you can hide your head.
I love how the song at the end winds up in a courtroom with people yelling "murderer murderer, hang him hang him" and then proceeds to the next song about a guy who murdered somebody.
Nope..!
