''DaDa'' is the fifteenth studio album by Alice Cooper, released in 1983. ''DaDa'' would be Cooper’s last album until his sober re-emergence in 1986 with the album ''Constrictor''. The album’s theme is ambiguous, however, ongoing themes in the songs’ lyrics suggest that the main character in question, Sonny, suffers from mental illness, resulting in the creation of many different personalities. The album alludes strongly to the dadaist movement: its cover was based on a painting by Salvador Dalí titled “Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire”. Produced by long-time collaborator Bob Ezrin, at the time his first production with Cooper in six years, ''DaDa'' was recorded at ESP Studios in Buttonville, Ontario, Canada. ''DaDa'' reached #93 in the UK and failed to dent the US ''Billboard'' Top 200. “I Love America” was released as a single solely in the UK over a month after the album’s release. Guitarist and co-songwriter Dick Wagner recently revealed that Cooper had relapsed to drinking heavily during the recording of ''DaDa'', and had suggested that the album was a contract fulfillment requirement for which Warner Bros. Records was not pleased and consequently made no effort to promote,〔(Interview with Dick Wagner )〕 though Warner Bros. has never confirmed or denied this. This and other details, like the real-life cocktail waitresses that inspired “Scarlet and Sheba” are in his autobiography ''Not Only Women Bleed''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.org/details/DickWagnerOnOutsightRadioHours )〕 Cooper reportedly has no recollection of recording ''DaDa'', or the preceding albums ''Special Forces'' and ''Zipper Catches Skin'', due to substance abuse. Cooper stated “I wrote them, recorded them and toured them and I don’t remember much of any of that”,〔(Love And Poison, An Alice Cooper Interview )〕 though he toured only ''Special Forces''.〔(Alice Cooper Tour Archive )〕 In 1996 Cooper said that ''DaDa'' was the scariest album he ever made,〔Dominic, Serene; “Hanging with Mr. Cooper”; in ''Phoenix New Times''; June 20, 1996〕 and that he never had any idea what it was about. There was no tour to promote ''DaDa'', and none of its songs have ever been played live. ''DaDa'' was Cooper’s final album for his long-time label Warner Bros., and after its release he took a three-year hiatus from the music industry. ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DaDa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
