The fifth song, 'Dangerous Tonight', sees Alice returning to a favourite subject - horror. The song is about vampires. It is a good rock song and, although the keyboards play a major part, the guitars are very much at the forefront of the song, adding bite Alice Cooper - Vocals Stef Burns - Guitars Hugh McDonald - Bass Mickey Curry - Drums John Webster - B3 Organ Robert Bailey - Keyboards 05/12 - Dangerous Tonight (Cooper, Child) "Take another bite It'll be alright What's wrong will soon feel right Dangerous tonight Take another sip Let it kiss your lips And let a little drip on your thighs If you let me I'll untie your sensuality I'll open up your heart and satisfy my greed I'm dangerous, I'm a dying breed Poisonous like a centipede I'm capable of the foulest deed Dangerous at night I'm dangerous like a razorback Deadly like a heart attack Well, I don't bend and I don't crack Dangerous tonight Take another turn The rules have all been burned And you've got tricks to learn Dangerous tonight Play another role Try and lose control And stain your soul to red from white In my mind, oh, a million voices tell me no It's prime crime time and I gotta let it go I'm dangerous like a broken glass I'm a flesh fanatic psychopath I can cause you pain and make it last Dangerous tonight I'm dangerous when the sun goes down So cross yourself, don't fool around I'll drag your heart into the ground Dangerous tonight If you let me I'll untie your sensuality I'll open up your heart and satisfy my greed I'm dangerous, I'm a dying breed Poisonous like a centipede I'm capable of the foulest deed Dangerous at night I'm dangerous like a razorback Deadly like a heart attack Well, I don't bend and I don't crack Dangerous tonight I'm dangerous like a broken glass I'm a blood bubonic psychopath I can cause you pain and make it last Dangerous tonight" The first side of the record closes with 'Might As Well Be On Mars', which at over 7 minutes is possibly the longest song Alice has ever recorded. It's a good power-ballad. Not the kind of music that I normally listen to, but this one I like. The production is a little bit too slick, but that is a minor complaint. It's interesting to hear the phrase 'man on the moon' being sang is a way that is eerily similarly to how Michael Stipe would do it in the R.E.M. song, released the following year! Alice Cooper - Vocals Stef Burns - Guitars Hugh McDonald - Bass Mickey Curry - Drums Robert Bailey - Keyboards Jai Winding - Keyboards Chris Boardman - String Arrangements 06/12 - Might As Well Be On Mars (Cooper, Wagner, Child) "The city streets are wet with rain tonight The taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall Midnight blues comin' through the walls I tried to call you on the telephone I left it off the hook just to hear it ring You told me you were better off alone I never knew that tears could stain I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars Lookin' down at all the cars I can see you In the window of your favorite corner bar But to reach you is just too far And I might as well be on Mars The city seems so old and grey and beat It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate And you just live across the street But that's a billion miles away You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place Like a planet lost in space, my light's fadin' I'd cross the universe to be right where you are But I'm right in your backyard And I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars You can't see me I might as well be the Man on the Moon You can't hear me Oh, can you feel me so close and yet so far Baby, I might as well be on Mars Baby, I can't fly If I could I'd come down to ya Maybe I should try I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars Lookin' down at all the cars I can see you In the window of your favorite corner bar But to reach is just too far And I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars You can't see me I might as well be the Man on the Moon You can't hear me Oh, can you feel me so close And yet so far Baby, I might as well be on Mars Yeah I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars" Demdike@Cult Labs likes this.

| Dangerous Tonight along with Wind Up Toy, (which might actually be my in my Alice top ten) is easily the best thing on the album. In my opinion.

Susan.  Sorry but i have to disagree with your suggestion that Alice influenced REM. Stipe sings the words man on the moon totally different to Alice. He elongates moon for a start. Besides how do you sing the words to make them sound different? It's a well known phrase - man on the moon. |

Black Juju is around 9 minutes long is it not? Surely that's the longest Alice song, plus Halo of Flies is pretty long. These last few posts are making want to listen to Hey Stoopid again which has never been one of my favourites. Susan Foreman likes this.

I listened to it on the way home, it all came flooding back to me, I loved this album at school, I just hated the album cover

I know, I got confused, I like the music but hate the cover, the next album though Last Temptation, I know I don't like that at all, however I do like the cover
