• Alice Cooper lived up to his shock-rocker rep with this a darkly humorous track about necrophilia. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Cooper expresses his fascination and sexual attraction for fresh corpses - a pretty risky and taboo subject to take on in song, even by today's standards. And as disturbing as the subject matter is, the track boasts some great playing by the Alice Cooper band. All of the members acquit themselves here, displaying their considerable chops as musicians.
• During his Billion Dollar Babies tour, Cooper would simulate sex with a mannequin while performing this song. He would also stage a mock beheading of himself during the song.
• Cooper wrote this song with his wunderkind producer/songwriter/arranger Bob Ezrin. The song wasn't released as a single due to its macabre subject matter, but it became a favorite among Alice Cooper fans.
  
  Ezrin was a longtime collaborator with Cooper. He produced a slew Alice Cooper's albums in the '70s, including the top-sellers School's Out, Welcome to My Nightmare and Alice Cooper Goes to Hell. Ezrin also has credits on Pink Floyd's landmark album The Wall and Kiss' multiplatinum-seller Destroyer.
  
  In our interview with Neal Smith, who was the drummer with the original Alice Cooper Group, he discussed how integral Ezrin was to the band's success: "I can't underestimate the impact of what Bob did. Once Bob got involved, that was the missing part of the puzzle that we were looking for, and it took three albums to find him."
• This song is from Alice Cooper's sixth studio album Billion Dollar Babies, which was the band's most commercially successful album ("Alice Cooper" was still considered a band at this point, not a solo artist). It climbed all the way to the top spot in both the US and the UK album charts, and also broke into the Top Ten in Australia, Austria and Canada. Other popular tracks on the set include "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Elected," "Hello Hooray" and the title track.
