There are even more versions than that!

Liked the Stray Cats version some of that pure rock n roll has really got something.

When the Stray Cats burst onto the scene with Stray Cat Strut it had a touch of Gutter Cat about it I thought all those meooows!

Alice on Blue Turk I thought was a bit rock n roll with a jazz influence which some rock n rollers like the Stray Cats have.

Now you mention that (about the 'Stray Cat Strut' 'meeaaoow'), I may well have thought the self same thing at the time..........................

From Look At You Over There, Ripping The Sawdust From My Teddybear...

"On Monday morning putting back yakity yak"

Here's a lyric I initially found strange, but I've come around to it over time. Lately whenever I listen to this song, I sing along to this little bit in my best Ethel Merman voice. Seriously. Is something wrong with me? I mean aside from the usual stuff.

The AC song that I've always disliked by far the most is "I Never wrote those Songs". That album came out when Alice was changing his image and saying in interviews that he was tired of being Alice. So that song sounded like Alice Cooper was apologizing for being.... Alice Cooper! Not fun at all. Just depressing. Definitely Alice's worst song ever, in my opinion. And I even loved the song "No More Love at your Convenience" as I actually think it's catchy and fun.

Catchy is right! Every time I listen to it (and Ubangi Stomp) I get them stuck in my head!!!

Still giving Deeper it's fair time on the CD player. I find the beginning is the initial problem for me, not really sure of the opening lyrics.

'Deeper' is a great track!!!

DT is the best AC album since TLT IMHO. Only tracks I'm not fussed about is 'Fantasy Man' (Trash reject?) and 'Much To Late' (sung by Elmer Fudd!) which seem to be many people's favorites.

There, shows how much I know.

>'Much To Late' (sung by Elmer Fudd!)

I think I remember thinking that may have been a deliberate attempt to sing in the sort of voice a 'nerd' might have.

Yeah....that would fit with a lot of lyrics.

And Si, I'd be one of the people that loves "Much Too Late."

I just find Deeper very slow, kinda lumbering along on low batteries. Maybe that's what its purpose is, but coming off Triggerman (which as a side note would make a good addition to the ACAS theme on stage in my opinion) it leaves the strong opening unsupported. It recovers with Dragontown and Sex, Death And Money right after though. Deeper could have sounded better to me if it was placed elsewhere on the album. But I ain't a mixologist, so I'll work with what I have.

'Simple Disobedience' and 'You and Me' - cringe city!!
