For context, I’ve been listening to this song since it was released in 72 and have never thought anything of the line “blown to pieces”. It just was suggesting that school was done, over, history nothing more. Sad that younger listeners go a different way thinking of that line. Innocent times are missed

When you interpret the lyrics to songs try to consider the differences in times. Keep in mind this was before so much violence and social meda. Saying something like that wasn't the big deal it is today. In the 60s and 70s I carried cap guns and plastic knives to school. Man how things have changed. And yes, I'm pretty sure he literally means blown to pieces but that would not have the same results then as it would today.

IMO, this is Alice's best. So good! :) It really captures the feeling of being young and wanting OUT. As for the school being blown to pieces ... it was taken as figurative back then. Nowadays, people are so sensitized to school violence, and immediately think this is calling for schools to be bombed. That's NOT how it was taken way back when. We weren't blowing up schools. It is about getting school entirely out of your mind and daily routine, and being free.

Yup, entirely sarcastic and metaphorical, nothing whatsoever to do with reality. I went to high school up in the desert north of LA.

There was actually a rash of bomb threats to elementary and high schools in 1970-1972, so the reference might have been topical. My elementary school had many days off until the school district just started ignoring the bomb threats, then the next weird fad that started up was streaking. Weird times.

@crucialtaunt5717 2 года назад

@@Roikat The bowling alley/restaurant I worked at in the mid 70's got several bomb threats. Went into a "Sambo's" coffee shop one night with my girlfriend her mom being a waitress there that had worked at the restaurant I worked at, one of my life mentors in fact, stoned out our gourds, and wound up right in the middle of a bomb threat. ROFL, one of my HS classmates decided to streak through the coffee shop(the establishment was a coffee shop, bowling alley, bar and dinner house-shared kitchen) to then go along the bowling lanes and exit the other end. It was right at closing time and I had already pulled the gate across the entrance to the lanes. It was hilarious, especially since we knew each other.

Back in the day you could say “the school’s been blown to pieces” and it would be understood as a figure of speech and an exaggeration and not like a threat or warning. Society has degenerated and gotten so out of control that it hits much differently than it did back in the day. I had a couple of cool teachers that would play it in class the last day before Christmas or Spring Break or on the last day of school. Of course a bunch of us would blast it in our cars out in the parking lot.

Watch the movie "Dazed and Confused" and you'll see this song used in perfect context in a movie that takes place in 1976 when this song was a staple among teens especially on the last day of the school year which is also what the movie is also all about, the last day of school in 1976. The entire film is a perfect lens to view life among 15-20 y/o's living in the 70's. The soundtrack to the movie is top notch, as well as the cars people drive in it. There are some things in the movie that I found strange, like high school seniors hazing incoming freshman, that wasn't a big thing in the Northeast where I grew up,. I think it was a more regional thing and this movie takes place in a Texas town.

@capstan50g 2 года назад

This song lyric does hit a little different now than it did back in the day. I've always imagined any explosion as taking place during summer when the building was deserted, maybe from a gas leak. The lyric tellingly emphasizes the pronoun "we," which I think implies a shared reaction among the entire student body. There's no expression of division or sectarian hatred. It's still probably too dangerous a song for today's world, where people believe that their fantasies not only can, but ought to, become realities. Damn I love your channel, though, guys!

@Incomudro1963 2 года назад

Yall Need To Watch The Movie 'DAZED & CONFUSED' Immediately!! Best double album soundtrack of 70s tunes ever! Movie made in the 90s, based in 1976.. Last day of school. It's the start of several big actors careers too. This song and quite a few others you've done are on the A+ soundtrack.

I'm a retired middle school art teacher. Each year on the last day of school, we teachers would line up alongside the bus ramp doing the can-can and singing this song to the kids as the busses pulled away. We loved the last day of school just as much as the kids, if not more!

Everyone hated school back then, even in the 90s. For some reason all the students were so complaining when they got all those extra days off due to corona the past two years :D I would have loved that!

Me too and I was a smart kid. The only thing I would have missed was gym, I lived for gym class. Back in the day I was happy to stay home and watch kid school classes on TV (it was the only thing on in the morning back then, 70s)

Brad overthinking. It's 1972 dude. Nothing like you're thinking would happen for 40 yrs yet. Those were innocent times.

I remember leaving school after my last Regent's exam... I was done, got in my 1979 Malibu Classic Coupe, rolled the windows down (yeah, no power windows back then) and cranking this as I peeled out of the parking lot.

It sounds like pop now, but he was so out there in the 70's. A guy called Alice shocked our parents, so we loved it

This song was played on the last day of school every year of my school career. I started 1st grade in 1972 & graduated in 1984. It was a staple each year. The local radio stations would play it every few songs that day before summer break. We loved it!!!!! i still do!

@carrizoman1352 2 года назад

Class of '72, my personal "Graduating Class Song", saw him later on, and he's been doing till now, 2022, fifty freaking yrs later, timeless!

The school's been blown to pieces line is just a Bart Simpson type fantasy of the school being destroyed; it was given an extra bit of top spin by the IRA bombing campaign we had back then, and all through the 70s, it seems now. For me, I love the can't even think of a word that rhymes line. Try to find some performances of the song on Top of the Pops - the ones I've found are just clips programmes (which are still ok, same 1972 performance, etc). Yes, and it was great being a hit when you were leaving for the holidays (only 6 weeks though, you jammy gets). You do choose some good stuff, though.

If you haven't already saw it, you'd probably enjoy the movie 'Dazed and confused'. This song and other great classics are on the soundtrack. About kids getting outta school for the summer in the 70s.

I was in High School when this came out , Alice is 7 years older than myself! I saw him 2 times and I have a drum stick from his drummer. Thank you ! Texas here.🎸😎 Great channel y’all .

Alice Cooper was my generation's Marilyn Manson. I think Marilyn Manson was inspired by Alice Cooper

With the line being " schools been blown to pieces" wasn't even considered as a threat because back in the 70's that wasn't an issue as it is today! Rock on Alice, Brad & Lex!!!

Bought that album when it just came out….still have it!

@emilymartinez6961 2 года назад

So this song came out in the 70's when I was a teenager but when my kids were in elementary and it was the last day of school before summer, l would drive up to pick them up blasting this song. Needless to say, they were so embarrassed 🤣🤣✌good memories!

@midnightfury9001 2 года назад

In Jr. High last day of school this was played on the intercom the moment the bell rang. Like many schools Lincoln Jr. High is no more, but the memories are still there. Bring on the summer!🥳✨🌞

@scooter6958 2 года назад

I know where ye coming from with blown to pieces but the songs nearly 50yrs old no one thought of things like that it’s just the fact £uck it schools finished for the summer depending how old ye are anyway great show 🇬🇧

@boballen818 2 года назад

Definitely hyperbole. Kids back then didn't blow up schools and the lyric would never be considered literal.

I couldn't believe how great it felt when Fall came around and I did NOT have to go to school after I graduated from college that Spring.

@bradconrad936 2 года назад

You guys have to watch Dazed and Confused... it's so realistic of the 70's.

@Pulsed101 2 года назад

This song reminds me of the movie "Dazed and Confused", if you haven't seen the movie, you're missing out on one of the coolest stoner movies ever. Lots of young famous actors you will recognize too :)

Please review many more Alice Cooper songs. He is the first real concert I went to on Halloween 1985. What a great show!

@labyfan1313 2 года назад

When I was in high school in the 2000's this song was played over the P.A. system every year on the last day of school. Loved it.

@alkronlage5236 2 года назад

Yes! This was the end of the school year theme song in the 70s. Radio stations would play this song especially during those summers!

@rwbimbie5854 2 года назад

'cant even think of a word that rhymes' well, yeah.. kinda painted yourself into a corner using line ending with "innocence"

@thomastimlin1724 2 года назад

Now days, the teachers blast this song on the school speakers after the kids leave for the summer...I'm not kidding. I was a teacher.

@charleswilliams6236 2 года назад

This song is radical for the ages

@littlejimmy7402 2 года назад

the most "blowing to pieces back then" was maybe a toilet with an M80. We hadn't started killing each other too much yet.

@trevorb6 2 года назад

I was in 4th grade when this tune came out and we all loved it! It never entered our minds that some psycho would actually blow up the school or storm the place with semi-automatic weapons and try to kill all of us. Has society really changed for the better?
