OT - Cold Ethyl

Post by **dann** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 5:25 pm

I know there are some Alice Cooper fans on this forum. While in the car today Cold Ethyl came on the gp2x and the wife and I got to talking about what the song meant. Now I was always under the impression that the song was about necrophilia, but she says it is about alcoholism. After contemplating the lyrics over a few repeats we decided that the song works on both levels. Quite interesting. I was wondering what other people thought about this.

Taken in the context of the album, Welcome To My Nightmare, it really sounds like both interpretations work.

Dann, not a big fan but I have heard it before. I agree with you. Dead women

* Cold Ethyl off Welcome To My Nightmare was Alice's infamous song about necrophilia. He says it was taken far too seriously.

I am not sure about the truth of this site, take if for what its worth.

Have a great holiday everyone.

I always believed it was about a dead 'Ethyl'. I once wrote an essay in Junior on another song on that album, 'Only Women Bleed'.
