Chloe and I are due to be moving next week. The idea (not mine, I hasten to add) is that we will be travelling around the country in a converted Royal Mail van for a few months, and I don't know if I will be able to access the forum or not, so rather than continue with the next album (which I will do eventually), here is an extra treat for you

When the 'Billion Dollar Babies' album was reissued as a special edition in 2001, it contained a second album. Most of this consisted of live versions of the songs on the first album. However, it also contained an outtake version of 'Son Of Billion Dollar Babies' (AKA 'Generation Landslide') and a song that wasn't included on the album - 'Slick Black Limousine', where Alice does his best Rockabilly/Elvis/The Cramps impersonation!

Alice Cooper - Vocals
Neal Smith - Drums and Vocals
Dennis Dunaway - Bass and Vocals
Glen Buxton - Lead Guitar
Michael Bruce - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Piano and Organ

Slick Black Limousine (Cooper, Dunaway)



"Well I hope I die in a slick black limousine
Oh come along momma gonna take a look at me
Gonna fly though the city
Gonna fly to the sea
Gonna fly my my my my my

I hit sixth gear ...?..how it is
Well I get first prize I remember it quite clear
Gonna fly though the city
Gonna fly to the sea
Gonna fly yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yow

I hope I die in a slick black limousine

We're gonna fly to the ocean
Gonna fly to the sea
We're gonna fly yay yay yeah

Ninety miles an hour
Swervin' all over the road
Hundred miles an hour
My hand's on the radio
Baby's in the back seat
Bompin' all over the road

The law the law they took-a m' limousine
Yeah the law the law they took-a m' limousine
Yeah the law the law they took-a m' limousine

And they gave-a, gave-a me a Model T
Yeah The law the law they took-a m' limousine
Now stuck up-a livin' with a Model T
Model T
Model"
