Today's delights from 'Pretties For You

Track #9 on the album is 'B. B. On Mars', and it's another psychedelic/punk song! I like it. For some reason, it reminds me of some of the insidental music that was used in 'The Young Ones' television show from the 80's

Renfield, who was the personal assistant to Alice says: "I think it was Dennis who came up with that title [BB on Mars]. I think I once heard it wasn't a person at all but rather an actual BB. If that doesn't translate, a BB is a small ball bearing. So, I guess it means a small metal ball on a big red ball. Those guys were messed up back then."

Alice Cooper - Vocals & Harmonica
Neal Smith - Drums and Vocals
Dennis Dunaway - Bass and Vocals
Glen Buxton - Lead Guitar
Michael Bruce - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Piano and Organ

9/13/ B. B. On Mars (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



"(I stop, we stop)
Go
Now let's see what's going on
See inside
It's quiet inside, see
Now let's hear what's going on
Here inside "

Track #10, 'Reflected;, is the second of my personal favourites on the album. Fans of the band will detect a bit of fore-shadowing here. The song was later reworked, and it became 'Elected' on the "Billion Dollar Babies" album

10/13/ Reflected (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



[I] "Look upstanding with your head held high
You will be reflected
You look outstanding with your eyes in disguise
Just beyond your mask-qes

Holy, Hollywood (he), it's divine
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all the time
And even though I'm, you will always hear

Very rarely worry upmost constantly
Could you be receptive
Our life's outstanding in a shower please
Wet my skids a plenty

Baby, what a day all over town
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all around
And even since I knew, it's all so clear

You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected, reflected

Yeah..."
