Donny Osmond - Something to remember me by

Here's a very strange version of this song:

Who gave it to him? :devil:

DONNY OSMOND!!

But on a serious note, your answer is in the comments section:

"I wrote this song and one day discovered Donny Osmond was using it to end his live shows. I later sent it to Alice Cooper for his latest CD, now hopefully a Grammy nominee, in 2012. Thanks Donny and thanks Alice.

Dick Wagner"

Not a bad version at all. Used to be friends with a real Metalhead-loved Black Sabbath and Witchfinder General (looked like a hybrid of Ted Nugent and James Hetfield too) and while hanging out at my place, had him listen to "Crazy Horses" by The Osmonds which he liked and was astonished to see who it was
Let's hope it takes the Grammy and also glad some deserved royalties for Mr. Wagner.

how ironic...the end of "department of youth",and now this! talk about full circle.
And pitta,what's strange about this version? it's probably closer to dick's original than alice's I'd venture to guess.

Quite interesting..forget about the teen idol Donny Osmond and its not bad imo...would be interesting to note how Alice changed Dick's song if thats accurate or Alice's input..can't spot any difference between Donny and Alice's version on first listen

imagine Donny Osmond on the front cover of the next Cooper album, hahaha.

I wonder if Donny throws on the Killer album when his wife and kids are out the door.

I don't think anyone said it had been.

Not really. The lyrics still fit whether it was a new song or not.

In fact, it was stated in most of the press I saw that this was a song Dick Wagner had written years ago. Alice said in more than one interview that he wasn't able to do the song justice back then, but felt he could now.
