3/13/ Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



"Forget, remember nothing please
The force came from the flame
I pass along the path inside
My light shining always

We'll get there first a name cried out
And looked back all the way
Recalling falling down
A lot of time was spent that way

But this story starin' me
Had already begun
'Cause I had some vision in my sight
On the journey to be one

Help me, help please, help me please
The screaming starts again
The trick I find, something hid
You look, you find, I win

While working while the play was on
The play was alright then
Think thoughts, big thoughts
Take off and go home, back next week again

Right then my story ended
And a new one had begun
'Cause I had some vision in my sight
On the journey to be one"

Track #4 is entitled 'Today Mueller', and once again it's amazing how different the band were in the 60's, to what the Alice Cooper Group (and later the solo artist) became.

The song was written about a friend of the band, who had the name Michelle Mueller. She was working as a secretary in Phoenix, Arizona. Her nickname was 'TOOTIE', although no one seems to remember why the band changed it from 'Tootie' to 'Today'.

In 2007, Dennis Dunaway remembers: "Tootie, who is always smiling, drove the Earwigs around in her baby-blue Mustang. [She was] among the first to support the band and we are still good friends."

[The Earwigs was the name of the band in 1964 - a pastiche of The Beatles]

4/13/ Today Mueller (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



"Today Mueller
Let it happen
Happy slappin', tappin' paddy-oh
She'd like to give her life away
Like to stay another day old
Try it out another way

Ah, today, today, today, today mueller
Give your notice of your leaving
Ah, today, today, today, today mueller
Don't tell them you will go with me
This will always be

Red rover, red rover
Pass under, pass over, pass through
And over, and over the White Cliffs of Dover with you
Today mueller
Make it happen "
