  • excellent song one of his best.

    

  • I choose Dead Babies b/c I was there. I lookedall over for when Alice got the cake in the facebutcoudn't find it.

  • i think that song is sick its terible get it off my bro almost die as a child through going to someones house and swallowing 6 ibuprofine

  • @djsmally2010xxheart Piss off then if you don't like this song No one here gives a fuck.

  • i hate bab

  • Who else typed in dead babies

  • I haven't heard this song in more than 30 years I almost forgot that exists.. such a beautiful song falls definitely among the top five from Alice .. I'm 42 & a big Alice fun .... Great song ...

  • cant believe people actually thought he was doin it for real

  • "Dead Babies" is one of my favorite songs from the Alice Cooper group. The lyrics are great, the title is great. It's just perfect.

  • If you don't want ur kid put it in an adoption place or a hospital with a letter

  • Those were the days

  • The song was written and released in 72, but it's still about neglect, but if you look up cases of child neglect, you'll see cases from the 70s that are still just as bad as today

  • @Fallenfairy42 A good casew for why abortion needs to be leagal and safe.

  • Nice to see Neal Smith on drums featured so prominently in this clip!

  • if you or someone you know ever experienced anything about a dead baby then you can feel whats up, if not then SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thumbs ups if you searched for dead babies and watched this

  • Whooooooo!!!!! DEAD BABIES!!!!!!!!

  • shit..... someone should write the Abortion Song......Could be a hit

  • @lungsounds There was an abortion song written in 1972 by seals & croffts title of the lp as well its called unborn child

  • @lungsounds There already is an abortions song , It's called BODIES by the SEX PISTOLS . " she was a girl from Birningham , she just had an abortion " .......... F#cking bloody mess ...... Mummie I'm not an A N I M A L ..

    I'm not a discharge .... Millions of our generation murdered because they were INCONVENIENT .

  • @DAVPK1 Yeah true. But this sure beats being a parent when parenting is inconvenient. Like when likely parent is drug or alcohol addicted or just completely incapable. Sometimes abortion is more humane.

  • This song makes me tear up a bit because of the lyrics

  • The only thing about this song I don't like is the fact I can't sing along with it without sounding as deranged as Alice himself :p

    Such a catchy tune, just not the kind of thing you can sing on a pub karaoke heh

  • alice cooper I think the best rock theater

  • Voted most offensive song by "the punk rock book of lists"

  • Haha.Dead babies are cool!!

  • one hell of a golfer i hear.

  • @Morgethein . The whole pop ballad shite is just the same garbage. Modern music is an affront to real Classical and Opera music. Modern bands have stupid names and theatrical to make it appealing. Christ, just look at Alice Cooper.

  • @reziztanze Alice Cooper is awesome. Yes he's theatrical, but he combines that with his music, which is also awesome. I agree that classical and opera music sounds good in many cases, but so does music like this.

    Black and white films are often enjoyable, too-do you watch them exclusively then come and bitch about Die Hard on youtube?

    Enjoy the music you enjoy, and fuck off so you can leave us to do the same. I don't go on about Alice when I listen to Beethoven.

  • @reziztanze Also, Alice's music is fantastic on it's own-it doesn't need theatrical accompaniment, that's just a bonus. Same goes for a lot of bands/artists.

  • @reziztanze I wouldn't blame the music industry for making "strange" music and using gimiques. Don't forget that the parents of all the people who listened to classical music thought that hymnal music was more appropriate than beethoven, and before the founding of the catholic church, and even roman mythology, people listened to drums, and sung together in a large group for religous rituals.

    I'd blame leniant parents more than anything for "retrogression." Not Alice Cooper.

  • @reziztanze your comments strongly and consistently indicate that your presence on this forum is completely pointless and a waste of your time and everyone elses- why not piss off and stick to things you are interested in?

  • To think a whole generation was brought up on this insanity is very worrying. This garbage poisoned and twisted young people’s minds and not musically educated or matured them. Infact, it’s a musical retrogression.

  • @reziztanze bullshit- Alice is entirely unique, and at 42 years of age I'm happy to re-visit this classic music and mindset!

  • @AdoThePirate Unique doing what??? Singing about dead babies is not music or art but sick insanity.

  • @reziztanze If you bother to listen and analyse the lyrics, Alice is critically documenting a terrible case of parental neglect

  • @AdoThePirate Yes, I know he is. However, just look at the sick theatrical crap involved in all this. Also, who sings songs about dead babies anyway? It’s macabre and twisted. End of.

  • @reziztanze

    Dude, fuck off. we don't want to hear your whining.

  • @reziztanze You have spoken and we must all bow before you lol whats sick is bad parents who dont look after their kids numb nuts.

  • @reziztanze serious question. why do you comment on every alice cooper video bitching. no one wants to hear it and you're way outnumbered when it comes to people who like him and people who don't so just shut your damn mouth, jesus christ, no one cares what you think and you're not gonna sway anyones opinion.

  • @reziztanze This "garbage" did far from twist my mind. It opened it up. Alice is a great man and had a very good reason for writing this song. He's shining a hideous light on the fact that some parents are fucking shocking and need to wake up and watch their kids. Did you even pay attention the lyrics? You need to open the lid up on that fucking sheltered existence you're living and stop taking everything so literally my man!

  • @Spookytooth25I was listening to this meaningless garbage back in 1973 at 11 years old. I got to 18 and realised what lunacy I was listening too. This crap only appeals to those fucked up like Alice Cooper himself.

  • Comment removed

  • @reziztanze Consider me fucked then MOOOOOHAHAHAHAHhahahahaaaaa (as I run off into the distance after letting off a smoke grenade under my feet!)

  • @reziztanze you obviously had more brains at 11 after came the TV in your life...sure pal i understand and feel you...you are not alone...

  • @MrHeavymetalfreak: Babies cry. it's a fact of life (I'm guessing you haven't had one). I'd be more concerned when they don't.

  • That's why the rock n roll hall of fame is a joke, madonna is in? Yes she is a talent, but she aint rock, yet a trailblazer, and innovater like the Coop isnt in there? Thats just wrong. "Remember the Coop huh, I hope they don't forget me or nothing...goodbye."

  • my dads ex-wife knocked out a guy singing this because it was right after my baby sister died, my family loves the song, its just not good to hear after a 2 day old baby dies "R.I.P." to my sister <3

  • @LeoDopeland It's about child neglect and its results...

  • @FatherShandor my sister wasnt neglected, it was heart failure, but its jsut the title in general "dead babies"

  • @LeoDopeland To anyone reading this story - NOTE - she said my Dad's ex-WIFE knocked out a guy. I missed it the first time. What did SHE hit hm with.

    Having a your little baby die is tragic. Any child of yours dying is too.

  • @DAVWAVE she punched him out, and its my dads ex-wife cause she also died when i was younger,

  • dead babies cant take things off the shelf, but we didn't love you anyway me 1st concert was alice and ted nugent my dad bet my mom i was going to see some chick performing he lost! that show had the electric chair in it best show i have ever seen and i have seen alot alice was years ahead of d. bowie and kiss if it was not for alice there would not b a bowie or kiss

  • @rikburkett: Now Bowie had a lot more going for him than just being an Alice Cooper rip off, but you're probably right about kiss.

  • Alice Cooper is the best

  • Didn't he once dress it up in a chicken costume and bite its head off?

  • It's still part of the fun - to see Alice "these days" and get into the show by yelling such things such as "HANG HIM!!!" or "OFF WITH HIS HEAD"" good good fun!!! Long live the Coop!!!

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!!! 2-4-2010

  • did those people actually think he killed a baby i mean did you hear them hollering "baby killer" goddamn

  • Man I fucking love Alice.

  • Comment removed

  • I think that should be : ANAL Xtian

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song, I caught the baby doll head back in 72 when he did it in live concert, it is classic cooper

  • saw the last Killer Tour in 1972 he play this song among his best hits ever was blown away . My hairs stills stands when i hear this song ......but live and less than 40 feet from me, "speech less"

  • Comment removed

  • one of the greatest song of alice..

  • Great song, one of the best ever.

  • Have you ever really though about this song it is really telling you about what is happening today in this world like child obuse and people that have abandoned there babys and not giving a shit about them

  • good, the world is overpopulated anyway

  • I love your description.

  • A friend of mine would call a classic rock station that occasionally took request and saying they could play any request that was given to them by well known artist..This friend of mine asked if they would play some Alice cooper..They said sure we got that .He says dead babies..Oh we don't have that..He go's you call yourself a classic rock station and you cant even play dead babies...

  • @opticalvibes thats awesome

  • @opticalvibes lol well they couldnt play it cause this song sucks

  • @opticalvibes Let me tell you a little secret about most radios stations and their so called "request shows".

    I'm a former DJ myself from a major market. There is a master computerized play list of the songs you can play at most stations. If the song you request isn't on that list, forget it , you won't hear it. And if it's an obscure one on "the list", it has less of a chance of being played than a more familiar song. So much for listeners requests. See you on satellite radio ! ..

  • this clip is from a Canadian documentary about the music business called, "Rock - a - Bye" BTW. It also shows footage of, Still Got a Long Way to Go and Billion Dollar Babies possibly? It was from '74, there is stuff from a bunch of other groups too including "The Stones" I was just watching it too actually!

  • was there any teenage lament involved?

  • I certainly hope so

  • : )

  • Figured song was about the mother's sadness, with no way to shrug it off or wash it off. Ever. While wishing what happened didn't happen.

  • actualy this song was about neglect and he wrote it about abortion etc people didnt want there babies so he got the idea to write a song about killing babies I tht it was a great song

  • Comment removed

  • What's the first line there, buddy? "Little Betty ate a pound of asprin..."

  • It's not a song about babies eating aspirin dumb ass. Listen to the words idiot.

  • listen to the words -_- gosh..

  • I saw Alice do this song in 1971.. blew me away.. I heard he had a good show before I went, but in those days.. I thought they meant "light show"...lol.. what a shock

  • Мужик отжигает \m/

  • 16 Июня , В Ростове - на -Дону будет выступать сей музыкант. Обязательно пойду, посмотрю на его великолепное АДСКОЕ МЕГА ШОУ!!!

  • Comparing Ozzy and Alice is like comparing apples and oranges. Ozzy is very charismatic and deserves all respect in the world for what he did in Black Sabbath. Alice is Alice - great shows, tight musicians, good songs. I love 'em both!

  • yh hes incredable live:)

    Ozzy is cool but alice is MUCH better

  • i seen alice in concert and it rocked

  • how the f*&^ can people call Ozzy God? Alice has released so much more better constant music then the great pretender,

    Alice?

    Who the F&^% is Alice?

    Alice is GOD

  • what is alice coopers deal with babies? wow...

  • Metal is probaly the best style of music

  • Wow I bet tool was very inspired by this song

  • shit this does sound like tool

  • Want to hear a joke? What's the difference between a Pontiac Firebird and a pile of dead babies?

    I don't have a Pontiac Firebird in my garage! ;-)

  • well we all have heard that one before... but hilarious none the less =D

  • I Love Dead Babies !

  • Original! Nice Video!

  • I love dead babies...except when they commit suicide by drowning themselves in the bath tub.

  • "Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin"

    AHHHHHH! WAAAAAA! WHAT!

  • one of my favorite songs

  • such a powerful song, with a powerful message! parents need to be parents!

  • @gothgirl16 that is indeed the message. It's amazing how many posts completely miss it and focus merely on sensationalism!

  • It's a travesty that Alice Cooper is not in the Hall of Fame! How did the Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Queen, Sex Pistols all get in before Alice ???????? He was around before any of them & half of them stole his act!!!

  • there act

  • agreed.

  • @tearwrist who stole his act. I want to know, these things are important.

  • @tearwrist

    Van Halen, Aerosmith, Queen?

    Yeah sorry.All these guys deserved a Hall Of Fame induction before AC did.I hate Queen but still.Anyways the Hall Of Fame is a ok anyways

  • @tearwrist Its fucked... i agree with u

  • @tearwrist dude he did EVERY THING BEFORE MOST OF THE BANDS.

  • @tearwrist not to worry, hes just been nominated for this years ceremony

  • @tearwrist First of all, you can take Queen right out of your comment, because they were TITS. The rest of the bands were shit, granted, but Queen? Fuck no. Queen are GODS of rock, and shame on you for implying otherwise.

    Regarding the RNR HOF, it used to piss me off that Alice wasn't in it, too. But then someone pointed out to me the bands who were and I lost respect for the HOF. Alice should remain apart from those bands. So should Queen, come to think of it, so they should be taken out

  • "Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin" ...

    WAAAA!!!!!

  • I went back n read some of iron pants n girl44.... lots of"christians" googlen dead babies, they prob came across the song by accident.

  • A game show said they took speedy gonzolis off tv becuse it offended " some groups" and we used to listen to this, when we had free speach, try to get this song on the radio today.

  • I was Alice for Halloween and made a dead baby...oh the looks I got walking through the city...IT WAS AWSOME!

    Once I had Dead Babies lyrics as my FB status and someone told me I was sick and need "help"...lmao!

  • I just rememerd this song after not hearing it for about35 years. Im just clearing up from the 70"s

  • Damn!!!!!!!!!

  • alice is a god- (this is the man who people should have voted in

  • classic

    it gets no better than this!

  • Who would have thunk that Obama "the all merciful" and the Democrat Party got their party platform from titles of Alice Cooper songs! Strange world!?...very strange

  • It was shocking as Hell in the 70's even though it is totally fake looking. Very over the top of most people's thinking back then. Parents hated this shit

  • Good! xD

    Alice Cooper is a Master! xD

  • Hmmmmmmmmm!!! Well I never!!!!!!!

  • Ohh! Awesome Alice!

  • Uh, I know the song is against child abuse and everything, and its a great song.

    I was reffering to the stage show-- he chops the baby's head off!!!!

    im pretty sure that's kinda evil...

  • That was so poorly filmd that I realy could'nt tell what was hapening. Hell it shows him from the back most of the time and all the frontal shots were realy far away. Whoever filmd that aught'a be choped up himself, cause he they realy ruind it!

  • I saw him Sunday. This song was incredible live, and disturbing as hell (along with Only Women Bleed).

  • This song has a moral: don't neglect your kids. Good stuff.

  • i saw him too

  • Saw him last Saturday! Dead babies was on of the best songs he played.

  • the creepier THE BETTER

  • lol its so evil...

  • Where's the evil? I want to see some evil. Show it to me, cause I'm not seeing any in these parts. That headless baby? Not a real baby. Not real evil.

  • Alice needs to take you on tour with him to placate his FELLOW Christians who still protest outside of his shows, you'd be an excellent middle man.

  • I'm not sure if that was sarcasm or not, so I think I should point out that I myself am a minister. Also, it would rule to go on tour with Alice.

  • I've always imagined Cooper having the down to earth middle American working Joe, or Minister as your case may be, come out the front of the stadium with tea and jaffa cakes for the protesters and engaging a dialogue. The misplaced hatred of the majority of these groups runs so deep that that verbal exchange could never happen with the man himself, I tried a few times but they could never wrap their head around the fact that a young, unmarried woman working with a rock act could be a Christian.

  • That sounds about like religious protest groups. More about the morals and what the local papers will allow than the forgiving and helping aspect. I'm IN a rock act. You can imagine how well that goes.

  • My husband is as well, but the kids in his youth group think that's COOL. What I don't understand is: Coopers Christianity and charity is not exactly a well kept secret a la the Holy Grail, have these neo con Christians not watched CNN and observed him talking about The Rock? Do they not realize that he comes from a long line of men who have ministered the Word? I say there is no place for hypocrites in heaven but if their washed in the blood I guess I'd better get ready for them.

  • If they're washed in the blood.  Wow, lack of coffee even affects my grammar.

  • I was really glad to hear about The Rock. You'd think they would be too. But "OH NO! BLOOD!"

  • Well goodness gracious, we can't have the likes of Alice and Sheryl Cooper being the community raising the children that no one else gave two shits about. I still have my Dad's "Don't blame me, I voted for Alice," T-shirt from when Nixon was in office, I think that simple phrase says a lot about the state of affairs in our great countries.

  • child abuse is very CREEPY. alice was so misunderstood back then.

  • Comment removed

  • That was creepy as hell.

    AWESOME.

  • why the Hell did you just call me a Coward? Creepy Is not the same as being scared. Moron.

  • this is from 1971

  • This is early 70's

  • what year was this video recorded??

  • How in the fuck are they not in the Rock N Roll hall of fame?

  • So fing right man!

  • cause its not prestigous enough

  • r u serios, ther not

  • The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke. Madonna, a rock and roller? Maybe Joan Jett. It's all about Pop music. Michael Jackson etc.. A bunch of twirp dildos is who is on the selection committee. We should all get up some sort of referendum for true rock fans.

  • true

  • Daddy is an agrophile in Texas

    Mommy's on the bar most every night

    Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard

    The next night the child came once again. He had a little light in his hand and said, "See, my shirt is almost dry, and I will be able to rest in my grave." Then the mother surrendered her grief to God and bore it with patience and peace, and the child did not come again, but slept in his little bed beneath the earth.

  • he is a genious how he came up wid such a gd song an act it out like dat i will neva no

  • Om se vielä hauskaa kun vieressä asuu lapsiperhe. Itse oon lapsigeneratiooniin kuuluva, voiko näitä omille soittaa. He he heh ja hohoho.

  • ...I'm speechles. I've heard about the baby-thing from my dad but when I was watching this I just couldn't believe that he hacked the baby doll's head off... I'm shocked...AWESOME! Alice Cooper, the king of shock rock!

  • its REAL BABY!!!

  • of course it's a doll . Are you stupid!

  • I think he was being ironic, so you're the one who's stupid.

  • Hey, he's from Finland so you never know.Also,it's sarcasm not irony.Now who's stupid dude !

  • 1. I will not let you trick me into making racist jokes about South Korea.

    2. I believe the puppet-baby remark would be a form of understatement, which is a form of irony.

    3. Sarcasm is a subcategory of irony, google it.

    4. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

  • I don't have to Google it,you were wrong.If a weatherman married a girl named Susan Rain,that would be ironic.Anyways,I apologize about the comment on Finland.

  • Well that's pretty easy now, isn't it? "I'm not wrong as long as I don't look at the facts that prove me wrong!"

    Irony, like many other rhetorical devices, has many forms. If you google verbal irony + sarcasm you will see.

  • I would have to admit that you are right if you want to go that far.I still think under the circumstance it was the wrong choice and irony and sarcasm are distinctly different.

  • Well in the end, it's still ALICE COOPER!
