NICE clean original vinyl 1972 first pressing on the olive green Warner Brothers label housed in the gimmix school desk cover (doesn't look like it was assembled with the pull out desk legs on bottom) and includes the famous pair of off white panties ...
= > there are NO song titles on desk bottom
The title track ("Schools Out") sounds like it is anti-school and anti-establishment, the song is a parody of teen angst. It's easy to overlook the key line in this hard rock song, which is "Well we got no class and we got no principals and we got no innocence and we can't even think of a word that rhymes." The opening lyrics and the closing lyrics sound rebellious, but the middle line has more double entendres than a James Bond movie and pokes fun at people who do not go to school. This wonderfully subtle song is considered to be Alice Cooper's signature song.
"Luney Tune" is a bizarre song that evokes surreal images of horror that still contain pieces of parody regarding teenagers understanding their world and how they react to it. The last line is interesting because many teenagers have a difficult time understanding their mortality, and the images in the song are so surreal that dissociation is possible and what you do to yourself may not be happening, but then again, how would you know? The style of this song contains elements that were a part of new wave music in the following decade. The following song "Gutter Cat Vs The Jets" continues the parody, this time of the fight in "West Side Story." The satire in this song is subtle in some ways, and blatant in others. Alice Cooper does a good job of conveying bloody images, but the lines that surround them are too humorous for the song to be taken seriously. This song is another hard rocker with a musically interesting ending that is a combination of elements that appeared more strongly in "Welcome To My Nightmare" with a flavor of music from "West Side Story." This song is followed by a brief instrumental, "Street Fight." The instrumental is primarily fighting sound effects with bass and a cymbal providing the musical accompaniment. "Blue Turk" is a complex song where the lyrics could mean several things, with a sexual undercurrent. This song is very strongly jazz flavored from beginning to end, and though the lyrics are typical Alice Cooper, unless you knew the song was by Alice Cooper, otherwise you couldn't recognize it from the style. The tune is catchy and you may find yourself singing portions of the song if you listen to it too long. "My Stars" is science fiction from beginning to end. At first it might be hard to tell, but the last line is a giveaway. "Klaatu barada nikto" is from the classic science fiction movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still." If you need any further proof that this song is science fiction oriented the sound effects in the last minute of the song should be convincing. Alice Cooper does another changeup on the following song, "Public Animal #9." This time the group plays this rock song with a strong blues flavor. The lyrics describe a prisoner who seems to be unrepentant. Certainly he states that he's proud to be "Public Animal #9." "Alma Mater" follows. This song is the mellowest on the album, and there is still a bit of satire in the tone. The style reminds of The Beatles, and Paul McCartney in particular. The refrain has a faster beat, but the next verse returns the song to its mellow beginning. The guitar work is quite good on this song, and shows a strong Beatles influence. "The Grand Finale" is a rock instrumental with jazz overtones, an interesting way of closing this album. Thoughout the album, the music is good and the lyrics are interesting and challenging. This music is from Alice Cooper at one of their musical peaks, and should be in any serious rock fan's music collection.1. School's Out 2. Luney Tune 3. Gutter Cat vs. The Jets 4. Street Fight 5.
