ALICE COOPER (ELECTED)

[DutchHeartMonger1]

And the circus for the 2012 elections is rolling again...Always loved this song!

[nholt]

Alice for president in 2012!

[DrGull1888]

@nholt Fuck yeah! And Rob Zombie will be his running mate!

[EsCurve]

everyone get Giabo lol

[MrErictz28]

This song is actually a remake from Alice Cooper's first album but it was called 'Reflected'

[MegaDogwater]

He has a good hat and a good suit..like Abraham Lincoln

[MegaDogwater]

He shook the hands of people that normally wouldn't be noticed

[MegaDogwater]

the monkey lit the bands cigarettes..doesn't that say anything? lol

[watkmi]

that band was great.alice screwed up going solo

[johnaeff]

i was 13 back then -listening to the radio, sitting in our kitchen and totally freaked out -

[throatgorge2]

go back to "Pretties for you" and listen to "reflected." same song!

[larryisfine]

Greatest rock clip

[MusicFromPeru]

is this the first video rock song ever?

[angienic1]

Nine years before MTV. This was broadcast in November 1972 on ABC's In Concert at 11:30pm. It was included as a bonus to a taped School's Out show. That's where I first saw this.

[Keeeeeeeeth]

AH two three

[PirateEyepatch]

@campbellscampfriend I don't think that's the White House. It looks like the steps to the ny public library on 5th avenue and 42 street.

[CobasGeorge]

As other people have noticed before me, the first riff of the song is almost a rip of from a Hendrix song called 'Dolly Dagger' and the Ramones have ripped of this song's chorus on 'I wanna be sedated'... Now, is this a bad thing? No, we got three great songs one inspired by the other :)

[PirateEyepatch]

@CobasGeorge yes but you're always going to have schmucks coming around saying this guy ripped off of that instead of one great artist being inspired by another.

[klepzo]

Love tis song and vid!

Pretty much sums up "democracy" in the US and Europe nowadays.

[feelingslinky]

this was john lennon's favourite song don't ya know! :)

[TheJessyGrossburn]

j'aurais bien aimé l'avoir comme père, comme oncle, ou comme parain ... ou comme curé !!!!

[TheJessyGrossburn]

en plus il n'use pas de son image pour gagner encore beaucoup à l'inverse d'un keith richards moins respectable

[TheJessyGrossburn]

j'ai failli me lancer dans la politique à cause de lui

[TheJessyGrossburn]

ce mec est un génie !!!!!! les autres membres du groupe aussi !!! plus fort que frank zappa et joghny halliday réunis !!!

[TheJessyGrossburn]

ce clip devrait être montré en cours d'éducation civique et dans les grandes écoles de commerce, ainsi que dans les associations et après la messe

[stigmaweb]

Budweiser the best beer in the world

[stratman123]

The guitar intro is right off of Hendrix's Dolly Dagger.

[2626ejlr]

This guy was excluded from the debate last night.

[larryisfine]

You had to be there to truly understand the full spectrum of this song

[larryisfine]

Politics were and are the reason this song existed. You had to be there to truly understand its full spectrum

[larryisfine]

Great music video

[larryisfine]

Great music.

[jonnie45678]

2 people can suck my dick ):<

[uponhiskinthemorning]

i ve been there It is a gaschamber Other priceless advice!?

[4IAMATITOK]

Office for sale,get your office! Something is wrong with this.

[vanessamcqueen11]

Great song, part of the classic Cooper period but I agree with @larryisfine, Killer is the best..well, part of my favourite Alice period. Anyway, superb Alice & I can't wait until I see him play (again!) in Sydney next month.

[larryisfine]

Well done Alice

[larryisfine]

Killer was there best

[michmich1962]

2:32  Ricky Bruch ?

[michmich1962]

This is one of ther best rock songs ever made

[larryisfine]

Excellent old school material. Brought me back to when this band had things going.

[TheGalaxyROCKSTAR]

I seen this video as a kid and it changed my life. It is what inspired me from that day intill I die and beyond to be who I am, ME. A True Rock and Roll Rebel in every sence of the meaning. To stand against the man swinging. I will not sit down and shut up. I will do everything in my power to Legalize Freedom in the U.S.A.. I will vote Ron Paul 2012.

[STJOBCOSMOS]

Alice for president!!!

[basvanleeuwen]

true legend

[StefanGUITAR96]

2 ppl don't know anything about music.

[WytZox1]

I'd like to see a ticket with Vincent Furnier (Alice Cooper) and Daniel Lawrence Whitney in either order for prez and VP in 2012 ... GIT R DONE!!!☺

[Trebuchet221]

Iron Maiden have covered this song

[SpikeMichaels]

@Trebuchet221 Was it Maiden or solo Bruce Dickinson?

[Trebuchet221]

@SpikeMichaels It is Bruce Dickinson Solo, i'm sorry

[kejo703]

Alice in Stockholm 4/7 with Swedish flag and "Three crowns" icehockey shirt in "Elected".

[littledebbie187]

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!

[gabrielrocks69]

Vote for ALICE!!!

[patrickcrogan]

damnyancy your comments are getting sponged; but to reply to you, to make out calling obama a monkey is not racist is either disingenuous (my guess) or makes you seriously ignorant of the connotations that particular name-calling has when referring to a black person; either way your'e still a dipswitch :-)

[elrenato82]

the monkey is cool.

[godoyatroya24]

nada que ver lo que es ahi con lo que es ahora

[Clore]

In the 1990s, someone ran an "Alice Cooper for President" campaign on the Internet. Newspaper stories on write-ins mentioned that he got a lot that year.

[MrTgonzo67]

is that prez obama in the video...

[damnyancey]

@MrTgonzo67 Better watch it! I got called a racest for that 44th president remark on this verry video.

[patrickcrogan]

@damnyancey what for calling a black man a monkey? outrageous! (you dipswitch)

[MadTheDJ]

John Lennon once told Alice that Paul McCartney's vocals on this song would be perfect. Alice agreed.

[fsmetal]

Why hasn't Alice been elected yet?! He would make a better president than our current one!

[Rubenw1997]

A great song of Alice Cooper!!!

[Ironheade712]

When Alice was first recording this he had a mirror in front of him so he could sell it to himself that he wanted to be elected

[mrianmark]

I photographed Alice in 1975 and 1977 in Canada. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[SilverHamer]

COOP in 2012!! Yea, Baybee!

[crazymanwhois]

Wow, the first few bars steal the melody from "Dolly Dagger."

[Exilemainstreet]

Strong vocals on this track.

[Fallafelcopter]

ayreon's version is 1000 x better.

[elsass68xs]

nicht einer seinen besten songs, der beste überhaupt.

[CatapultYourMom]

BOYCOTT LETTUCE!!!

[Shade13Films]

One dude missed the like button.

[bluenosemilly]

my god this cant be nearly 40 years old!

[WarGodIII]

THANKS FOR THIS!!! THIS ROCKS!!!!

[EdMichigan]

Rocks and always will.

[InstantTom]

did anyone recognize that jimi hendrix riff at the beginning of the song?

[JDouse01]

@InstantTom

Yeah, sounds pretty darn close to 'Dolly Dagger'!

[BillHanke]

@InstantTom good ear - it's Jimi's Dolly Dagger. interesting.

[firsa62]

Here it's a bit too low.....

[terryorr]

I doubt if Alice even remembers making this video, he could have destroyed a breathalyzer machine if they had been invented back then.

[satinsguard]

@terryorr If he doesn't remember recording Zipper Catches Skin and Dada, I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember this.

[CoxandTanfield]

I used to listen for this on the radio when I was ten. I LOVED IT. The guitar sounds very Sex Pistols. I read John Lydon was a big fan

[shmuli9]

I wonder if this was an inspiration to the Ramones. "I Wanna Be Sedated" has a very similar sounding chorus.

[jscully1970]

How awesome! Where ever did you find this video?

[jscully1970]

How awesome! Where ever did you find this video?

[MrSainttyler]

Kool as anything before or after. Excellent!

[aocidicoa]

I really like the production of this album.

[Enceladus59]

all times that ever were...

[m2mcassady]

What happened?

[jursee33]

I love the end....."everybody has problems, and personally.....I don't care"  hahahahahaha

[SuperBoweevil]

Good bye Nancy Pelosi hello prop 19.

[killingmachine]

@SuperBoweevil  goodbye prop 19

[steedascott]

First vinyl I ever bought! Oddly the 45 single had "School's Out" for the B-side, but if you consider to the line "and I told ya 'bout school" it makes sense. Vince IS the hard rock Godfather!

[stucat06]

Was that Capt Spaulding in the beginning?

[drichardhalifax]

I find the smoking monkey very prophetic.

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@drichardhalifax I think the women who kissed Alice was Sarah Palin!

[damnyancey]

did i see barack obama pushing a wheelbarrow full of money in that video?

[doomracing210]

@damnyancey yes u did LOL

[damnyancey]

@doomracing210 ironic huh? alice wanted to be elected, but the monkey went on to become the 44th president of the United States.

[BillHanke]

@damnyancey fuck you racist moron. 

[damnyancey]

@BillHanke how does obamas lack of expierance and ability to run a country that equal a monkey, and the fact that like the monkey in the video, he wants to controll all the money make make a sacist? if you made any other comparisons, then prehaps your the racist.

[craigalan100]

@damnyancey ...i think the monkey would do a lot better job...he wouldnt have given interpol diplomatic immunity , bailed out the bankers, given the patriot act new teeth, or run a war in Afghanistan with marines protecting poppy fields ...or continued every failed Bush policy there is and then some..Barry should go back to sucking dick for cigarettes.

[damnyancey]

@craigalan100  AGREED!! 100%

[mrcoder]

@craigalan100 One more outburst like that and you will BE ELECTED

[craigalan100]

@mrcoder no....id be shot to death within days....i have more power doing what i do know

[samsmacdaddy]

@craigalan100 Sorry, but it's not a monkey, it's a chimpanzee.

[vosatkatomas]

@BillHanke what moron, its true. U R may negger

[vosatkatomas]

@BillHanke  what moron, its true coment. U R may some halfbreed!

[vosatkatomas]

@BillHanke what moron, its true coment. U R may some halfbreed!



[LesThanEver]

@damnyancey And of course you didn't have a problem when Bush shit on America, did you? Fucking moron, stop being a stupid bitch.

[damnyancey]

@LesThanEver As a mater of fact, i did have a problem when Bush shit on America. And Clinton, and Bush S.R. befor him. YOU ASSume that since im anti obama I must be pro Bush & make a bone headed remark like that & call me a moron? How about you stop being a stupid bitch you fucking morron? 

[DominicMattern]

@damnyancey you mean 43rd

[damnyancey]

@DominicMattern No,  I mean 44th. the current presiden. black guy, goes by barack obama.

[lungsounds1]

@damnyancey liberal hack, that you are

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@damnyancey I sya yes.Or it was sarah palins daughter

[damnyancey]

@AliceCooperROCKS1 Bistol Palin wasnt even born in 1972 dumb ass.

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@damnyancey Hey I am 11 and a girl it WAS A JOKE.Look who's talk'in now dumb ass you need a brain and a pair of these to get the joke <3-

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@damnyancey Hey I am 11 and a girl it WAS A JOKE.Look who's talk'in now dumb ass you need a brain and a pair of these to get the joke <3- By the way I said Sarah Palin so look who is the dumb ass.

[damnyancey]

@AliceCooperROCKS1 go back and read youre remark . you said "I sya yes.Or it was sarah palins daughter " by the way, you misspelled the word "say".

now who cant take a joke?

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@damnyancey What one are you?Wait!You the black monkey in da video!!!

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@damnyancey Wait I may not be able to take a joke but look at your screen name damnyancey.It sounds like you Osama Vinladen the guy who blew up half of NY which is in between dam and ancey.You dodn't deserve to be an american!You deserve to be Achmed the dead terrorist!!!

[kirbygene]

Great moment at 1:23 when the whole band comes through the doorI always loved the band Alice Cooper. Still remember all their names and what they played. Hated when I bought "Welcome To My Nightmare" and it was suddenly solo Alice.

[rattycharge1]

We're all gonna rock, to the rules that I make!!!!

[duffmasterofpuppets]

I'd vote for Alice.

[AliceCooperROCKS1]

@duffmasterofpuppets I would but I am friggin 11! :( Any way go Alice!

[ManilaSyndicate]

Such a great song. This version sounds better than the one on c.d., has more soul.

Heh, Alice always looks like a nice guy but back then he had the look of a drunk.

The video's a nice glimpse at Nixon America.

[troubadordan]

Congrats, Alice, you've been elected - to the R & R hall of fame - not that you give a f**k! Keep golfing!

[thejimmyzshow]

Alice should remake the video, high budget, and really skewer DC.

[TabeKat12]

The Monkey is Geert Wilders

[cru1972]

@TabeKat12 Wrong, that's osam...I MEAN Obama.

[MrBuzwuzcuz]

With a Fuckin' Monkey!!!!

[MrBuzwuzcuz]

Young , strong, opinionated, viral, stoned, and half drunk...Must be the 70's!!!

[hippiedboy]

hard to believe he turned into a hardcore republican.oh wait , we made him filthy rich! still good tunes though

[Exilemainstreet]

I recognize that look. Alice is drunk at 1:25.

[Coldgin94]

Alice Cooper For President !

[gurneyer]

@Coldgin94 - and Prime Minister!

[dreekayd80]

the 70s has to be culturally, the weirdest time in U.S. history. I was only 5 when they ended, so I only vaguely remember the very end of them.

[ysbaddaden2003]

Did that chimp just shoot Alice the finger?

[inferiusnl]

saw him yesterday in Lokeren in Belgium, 62 years old still rocked my socks off

[amazingdude12]

@inferiusnl he sure did man,he was the best of the evening

[teden20]

@inferiusnl wow.... now it is my idea. i was thinking, that would be pretty fucking cool to see alice cooper. i would like to see alice cooper. it is just an idea.... detroit.

[MrDoncos]

Alice Cooper doing the breakfast show on Planet Rock its brilliant.Check it out

[creamofobia]

hands down coop would have been a better choice than barrack tell them what they want to hear thev are sheep obama

[edsroraphael]

o cara e bom

[cookmoore]

Hey, I though Alice never smoked.

[Wintersteel747]

WOW!!! Alice Cooper was way ahead of his time. This is 1973 and he is making a music video long before there was even a thought of an M-Tv. A true visionary man that Alice. Rock On!

[ysbaddaden2003]

Was that sarah palin kissing Alice?

[raunchboy]

That monkey's probably a lobbyist for BP lol

[oldwarhorse1865]

We had a mock election in 72. Alice got 127 votes and almost beat McGovern!

[Hounadu]

Alice for President? No. Alice for ruler of the world? Oh yeah!

[MrHugohub]

Grande Alice!!! Papá de tantos buenos vocalistas....

[davidcl40]

The Ramones's I wanna be sedated sound exactly like this song. More then likely made as a joke to this song.

[ILoveAliceCooper97]

I luv this music video, its so funny! One of the best I've seen. Alice is sooooo hot! : )

[bluejayboy]

Saw Alice last month w/ Rob Zombie. Killed himself four times on stage in one night. Way to go Alice!

[Timey2Wimey]

I find this video rather apt for the predicament my country is in right now ;)

[adric137]

Alice rocks!!!!

[caretta1960]

Guess what, it's a hung parliament this morning 7/5/10 and this music is still so appropriate, even after nearly 30 years. In fact I would like to dedicate it to Jackboots Smith :). Thanks Alice, a true visionary!!!!

[deno914]

Bit of nostalgia here - that was the first record I bought. Bit of nostalgia also - when Britaiin was ruled by the British.

[TheEye22]

Monkey reminds me of Reagan...

[hansboofer]

@TheEye22 Yeah, Reagan fucks female chimp and the result is yer worthless ass, shit-fer-brains.

[23266334]

we cant let outside sa well their musicians , this lineup , alice and this line up were the best ever time

[Shadoworemus]

It's clear to me that the chimp shows how Bush got into the office.

[haj1909]

Boycott lettuce! By ALL means!

[Linz748916]

One of the great openings of any song!

[thechayman]

Ill agree, a third party president may be what our country needs,no disrespect to your opinion, but i do believe that Obama has great potential but its a process to make reform even if it hurts in the beginning , we don't need a friend, we need a savior

[3Rubee]

If you take ALICE for what he is , there's no problem. Vincent is a scratch golfer with a WHOLE different life.

This song, as an old hippie, is way too cool. Like right now, how about president of the THIRD party??!!? Fuck, I can dig it. Obama is proving to be the loser we knew he would be.

[gonzo6910]

happy late b-day..your one of a fuckn kind ..thanks for coming back to the midwest this summer

[MeanrBeanr]

Happy Birthday, Mr. Cooper (Feb. 4, 1948)

BDB LP by AC, one of my earliest hard rock influences, an album that rocks throughout.

[MikeTenninch]

2:55 ... Obama

[rayzor1959]

the firstever proper music video TRUE

[DoogManStar]

...with the band drinking on screen and a smoking chimpanzee. How things have gone downhill since then...

[paddyfrogfart]

Could you elaborate at all? Usually Bo. Rhap. is credited with that and was released around the same time

[stevel738]

No offense but bull crap. They made "proper music videos" all the way back in the 1960's. Although it is great that this song has one, as they were hardly made for every single like they are now.
