Song / Politics Sweet Apple Cover Alice Cooper's "Elected" on Election Day—Savvy!
Posted by Dave Segal on Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 12:12 PM
Just in time for today's election (ya heard?), Sweet Apple release their righteous cover of Alice Cooper's 1972 classic, "Elected." Sweet Apple's Cleveland-based vocalist/guitarist John Petkovic says that the song is "a tribute to cheapjack political ads. It might not be cinema, but neither is the election—or the ads (especially for us being bombarded by them in Ohio)..." By the way, fuck Jon Husted.
[Alice Cooper plays Emerald Queen Casino Nov. 18.]
