Theme & Lyrics

pumped “Well, I must have come to that crazy age / Where ev’rything is hot.” Uh-oh! It’s adolescence when EVERYTHING changes! Alice Cooper delivers an outlandish rock record, “Muscle of Love”, that plays as a soundtrack the tumultuous time. Of course, Cooper focuses on the biggest aspect of adolescence – hormones! “Muscle of Love” serves as the sixth track on Cooper’s 1973 album also titled Muscle of Love.

“I read Dad’s books like I did before

Now things are crystal clear

Lock the door in the bathroom now

I just can’t get caught in here.”

So, Joey understands the happenings in his Daddy’s dirty magazines. Of course, in the old days, porn was consumed via magazines (these days, the internet suffices). And of course, he goes and enjoys his “Gift from above.”
