Alice Cooper - King Herod's song

In 1996, Alice recorded a version of 'King Herods Song' for Andrew Lloyd Webber's new version of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'

Lyrics:

Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
You've been getting quite a name all around the place.
Healing cripples, raising from the dead.
And now I understand you're God, at least that's what you've said.
(Here it goes from ballad to vaudvillian bop- MC)
So you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're divine- change my water into wine.
That's all you need to do and I'll know it's all true.

C'mon King of the Jews.
Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made around here.
You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year.
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie.
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try.
So you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're no fool- walk across my swimming pool.
If you do that for me then I'll let you go free.

C'mon King of the Jews. I only ask things I'd ask any superstar.
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan.
I am dying to be shown that you are not just any man.
So if you are the Christ yes the great Jesus Christ
feed my household with this bread-
you can do it on your head.
Or has something gone wrong?
Why do you take so long?

C'mon King of the Jews.
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ?
Mr. Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke.
You're not the Lord- you are nothing but a fraud.
Take him away- he's got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the Jews!
Get out of my life!

alice is way too cool to have been a wanker like herod

@jerzeefranky3475 Definitely more suitable for Pilate, but he still does a pretty nice job.

Further proof that Jesus was the only begotten son of Alice Cooper.

I was really hoping it was a heavy metal version but we can't have everything! Still pretty cool though.

As soon as I saw the title of this video I said to myself, "If anyone can make me like this song, it's Alice Cooper." I was not disappointed.

@cheesecakemaker123

with all respect, religion has nothing to do with my family getting together for christmas.

and if you truly have 2 years to live then thats a real shame, but i'm not gonna start praying for something I don't believe. best I can do is wish you well and hope you enjoy yourself for the remainder of your time.
