S.O.D. "School's Out" by Alice Cooper

6/10/2023 In an interview, Cooper explains that his inspiration for this song came when he was asked, “What’s the greatest three minutes of your life?” Christmas morning was one, and Cooper goes on to state, “The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you’re sitting there and it’s like a slow fuse burning. If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it’s going to be so big.” The lyrics also tell you that school is out forever, and, as a bonus, the school blows up. This is the dream of many children in the midst of their education, whether they’re at home or school.
