"School's been blown to pieces" is definitely a hyperbole since it was most kids fantasy that school was blown up so we didn't have to go to school and we could just play all day long.

There was actually a rash of bomb threats to elementary and high schools in 1970-1972, so the reference might have been topical. My elementary school had many days off until the school district just started ignoring the bomb threats, then the next weird fad that started up was streaking. Weird times.

@@Roikat The bowling alley/restaurant I worked at in the mid 70's got several bomb threats. Went into a "Sambo's" coffee shop one night with my girlfriend her mom being a waitress there that had worked at the restaurant I worked at, one of my life mentors in fact, stoned out our gourds, and wound up right in the middle of a bomb threat. ROFL, one of my HS classmates decided to streak through the coffee shop(the establishment was a coffee shop, bowling alley, bar and dinner house-shared kitchen) to then go along the bowling lanes and exit the other end. It was right at closing time and I had already pulled the gate across the entrance to the lanes. It was hilarious, especially since we knew each other.

IMO, this is Alice's best. So good! :) It really captures the feeling of being young and wanting OUT. As for the school being blown to pieces ... it was taken as figurative back then. Nowadays, people are so sensitized to school violence, and immediately think this is calling for schools to be bombed. That's NOT how it was taken way back when. We weren't blowing up schools. It is about getting school entirely out of your mind and daily routine, and being free.

Back in the day you could say “the school’s been blown to pieces” and it would be understood as a figure of speech and an exaggeration and not like a threat or warning. Society has degenerated and gotten so out of control that it hits much differently than it did back in the day. I had a couple of cool teachers that would play it in class the last day before Christmas or Spring Break or on the last day of school. Of course a bunch of us would blast it in our cars out in the parking lot.

Watch the movie "Dazed and Confused" and you'll see this song used in perfect context in a movie that takes place in 1976 when this song was a staple among teens especially on the last day of the school year which is also what the movie is also all about, the last day of school in 1976. The entire film is a perfect lens to view life among 15-20 y/o's living in the 70's. The soundtrack to the movie is top notch, as well as the cars people drive in it. There are some things in the movie that I found strange, like high school seniors hazing incoming freshman, that wasn't a big thing in the Northeast where I grew up,. I think it was a more regional thing and this movie takes place in a Texas town.

Fast forward to a few years ago when browsing through KZbin videos brought me to an interview with Alice detailing his great friendship with Glen Campbell, and his admiration for Glen's ability. Well that stunned me at the time, and made me more aware of the dangers of pigeon-holing people. Well worth watching the story told by Alice of their friendship if you haven't already seen it.

They did No More Mr. NiceGuy a month ago. I'd like to see them do more of Alice's 80's and 90's stuff.

So this song came out in the 70's when I was a teenager but when my kids were in elementary and it was the last day of school before summer, l would drive up to pick them up blasting this song. Needless to say, they were so embarrassed 🤣🤣✌good memories!

Every time it was summer I would sing this song. Just so iconic and such an anthem for anybody who’s ready for summer or graduation. :)

Everyone hated school back then, even in the 90s. For some reason all the students were so complaining when they got all those extra days off due to corona the past two years :D I would have loved that!

Me too and I was a smart kid. The only thing I would have missed was gym, I lived for gym class. Back in the day I was happy to stay home and watch kid school classes on TV (it was the only thing on in the morning back then, 70s)

This was the song that we played every single summer, right before school let out for vacation. I'm a 70's-80's kid.

Me too, class of '73. Came out during my junior year. This song has become a cultural end of school year touchstone in the US. Wonder if Cooper ever envisioned this would happen, that 52 years later kids in numerous locations across the US would hear this song leaving High School their sophomore and junior years.

My dad was born in '76. I was born in '01 Since I was in kindergarten he played this song to me and my brother on our last day of class. Even today (Senior year of college) And this summer he took us to an alice cooper concert. It's crazy how music can change your life!

I've seen Alice in concert over 60 times. I have tix for 3 shows this year and planning on one or two more. His current band is AMAZINGLY talented - Ryan Roxie, Nita Strauss, Tommy Henriksen, Glen Sobel, and Chuck Garric. At 74 years old, Alice can still run circles around acts half of his age. Alice Cooper shows are part rock concert and part theater. Catch him live!

True Alice Cooper Story # 2 The first time I saw the band under the Alice Cooper name was on 2/16/1972 (with Redbone as the opener) at the Tucson Community Center Arena. I had seats at center floor about 8 rows back from the stage, and during the days before the show I was constantly giving my good friend shit because his were another 20 rows back. I visited him before the show began and chuckled to myself because he was seated next to a couple that were older than his parents. Well, those old fogies were Alice's mom and dad, and they filled my friend with Alice facts that were unknown to the general public at that time, including his real name. They even spelled out Furnier for him. Fortunately for me, my friend was gracious and told me everything he remembered.

I first heard this song when I was 12 in 1972. Listening to this song with my child's mind, I felt the song was just a way to celebrate the beginning of Summer with full expectation of going back in the Fall. The song is just an exaggeration of feelings many kids have toward the lovely freedom Summer has to offer.

As a kid growing up in the 1970s, this absolutely was blasted at full volume the last week of school. I think it stopped being a thing by the 80s when I was in high school and college cuz I don't remember hearing it anymore.

You guys got it right that was just a dramatic way of looking forward to the last day of school. Nobody was blowing up or shooting up schools back then, not to be taken literally! One of the greatest riff rockers of all time!

You are spot on Brad. This song was screaming through the speakers on the last day of school. And the school I attended was wild on the last day. It was a wild school during the year. Last day seemed everyone totally lost it.
