The first few seconds of "Poison" crawled from my speakers and straight into my head.

The cover of Cooper, head hanging, a leather studded jacket on with a t-shirt that had an image of Alice Cooper on with half of his flesh removed from his face, immediately grabbed me and I remember sticking the disc straight in my Hi-Fi when I got home. It was a few years after seeing Wayne’s World when I was in HMV.

The first Alice Cooper album I brought was Trash. I believe it was The Last Temptation as Lost In America is almost ingrained into my eardrums. Being older than me, my brother got hold of an Alice Cooper album before I did. I can’t speak for my brother, but when Cooper burst through that skeleton and started working his way through Feed My Frankenstein, I was blown away! Not only had I never seen someone who looked like Cooper, but I’d not seen someone with the attitude he had, nor had I heard music like Feed My Frankenstein. We had no idea who Alice Cooper was though. We gleefully noticed Meat Loaf as a club doorman- we’d known of him since getting our Dad a Meat Loaf greatest hits CD for Father’s Day a few years before. I’m pretty sure it was something my brother had come across. Spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Don't matter where we sleep Don't matter where we park All we need is a spark, spark Spark in the dark Spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark No matter what we say, no matter what we do As long as it is me and you We've got a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Oh, Well, you got your reputation baby, I got mine And there's every indication you're the dangerous kind You wear the black leather dress and it's toasin' tight Sparks are gonna fly when I turn out the light I need a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark A little tiny spark in the dark Ah, come on honey Light me up Just rub these two things.I don’t know how it came about but my brother and I were watching Wayne’s World. We don't need nobody, baby We don't need cocaine I'll take you to the deepest, darkest, hottest lovers' lane Now we don't need instructions, baby Don't you be afraid It takes a little friction, ah ha That's how our love is madeįrom a little spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Don't matter what you say No matter what you do As long as it is me and you We got a spark in the dark Just a little spark in the dark Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
