As if a vocal session involving Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Brian Wilson isn't weird enough - when a children's song is involved, things got too weird, even for Cooper and Iggy.
"It was about 1978 or something like that," Cooper told Contactmusic.com. "Iggy and I were sitting there waiting -- you know it was Brian Wilson one of the great writers of all time -- and he sat down at the piano and starts playing 'Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin,' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread.'"
"He goes, 'No this is the greatest song ever written', dead seriously," Cooper said. We were two little kids, we go, 'Umm OK. Why is that the best song?' 'I don't know it's just the best song ever written.'"
It got to the point where Cooper and Pop eventually left.
"In truth, it was a combination of both," Wilson later recalled in his autobiography Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. "Either way, they left. 'This is too much for us,' Iggy said. 'Too damn weird.'"
