Blue Turk Lyrics

Cover art for Blue Turk lyrics by Alice Cooper

I think the title and jazzy feel are a direct reference to Dave Brubeck's jazz piece "Blue Rondo A La Turk". Brubeck's song starts out in a lively 9/8 time and is quite different sounding but by it's middle section it has slowed to 4/4 and features a walking bass line, sax, and piano. At that point you can hear similarities between the two songs. For me it's just an example of Alice Cooper eclecticism. They borrowed from all sorts of musical genres.
