Derringer - If You Weren't So Romantic,
I'd Shoot You
"If You Weren't So Romantic, I'd Shoot You" - written by Alice Cooper
& Bernie Taupin
By the band Derringer featuring Rock n' Roll Hoochie Coo's Rick Derringer. Alice Cooper and Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics of "If You Weren't So Romantic, I'd Shoot You" while Rick Derringer wrote the music. Again in 1978 same time as Carole Bayer Sager album came out. This could of came from the brain tank of "From The Inside" album since Taupin and Alice co-wrote that whole album together. "If You Weren't So Romantic, I'd Shoot You" is not only the third track it's also the title of the album as well. This is one of my favorite Alice material written for another artist. It comes across as a ballad sort of like "How You Gonna See Me Now" on Alice's "From The Inside" lp.

Also this album itself is very good to listen too. Unfortunately Alice doesn't make an appearance other than writing the song. This album also has a song "Sleepless" written by Patti Smith. "Power Of Love" written by Dan Hartman and Warren Zevon's "Lawyers Guns And Money". Derringer's band consist of Kenny Aaronson and drummer Myron Grombacher (pre Pat Benetar). Rick Derringer also has a song he wrote titled "EZ Action" I thought funny since Alice's second album was titled "Easy Action".
