Gutter Cat vs. The Jets  performed by  Alice Cooper Band  (1972)
Composed by Buxton, Dunaway, Bernstein, Sondheim
From: USA
Mood: Broadway Nostalgia, Rock and Roll Style
Recommended by Tangento [profile] on Wednesday 9th October 2002

Here is a prime example of the endless amount of creativity this band had.
They take a song/ concept from a broadway musical, and transform it into an unparalelled, irresistable rock classic.
(That you will NEVER F*#%ing HEAR on a "Classic Rock Station" - They choose stale ClearChannel Playlists over quality & taste)

Alice & the band (his best lineup ever, 1969-74) have created a masterpiece of imaginative rock music here.

The sequence beginning with:
"...Midnight/ Catfight/ Neckbite/ ...Die!"
...and the following interlude leading up to the
'Street Fight' and including the 'Jets Chant'
is one of my favorite pieces of music EVER, by ANYONE.
I get chills to this day.
I wonder if Leonard Bernstein ever heard this, and what he thought.

from School's Out, available on CD (Warner Bros.)

Other Versions: (This is a variation from:) West Side Story
