Sister AnneAlice Cooper

Released: September 13, 2019

Songwriter: Fred Smith

Producer: Bob Ezrin

Sister Anne don't give a damn about evolution
She’s  a liberated woman, she's got her solution
Got  a heart of gold, save a bitch's soul
From goin’ down on Satan's way
She can, I know she can
I  know she can
She's  my Sister Anne

Such truth, such beauty, such purity
She  wears a halo around her head
She got all the Ten Commandments tattooed on her arm
If she died she'd rise up from the dead
She's every man's savior and Mama too
If  you do it she said she'll save hell from you
She can, I know she can
I know she can
She's my Sister Anne

Sister, won’t you tell me where I went so wrong?
I used to say my prayers, baby, all night long
I’d listen to the Gospel ringing in my ears
Come on, Sister Anne, save me from my fears if you can
I know you can
I know you can
'Cause you’re my Sister Anne

Sister, won't you tell me where I went so wrong?
I used to say my prayers, baby, all night long
I'd listen to the Gospel ringing in my ears
Come on, Sister Anne, save me from my fears if you can
I know she can
I know she can
'Cause she’s my Sister Anne
I know she can
She's my Sister Anne
I know she can
'Cause she's my Sister Anne
Yeah, she is

She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne

She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne
She's my Sister Anne

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
