| “ | DaDa is the 15th 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 suffers from mental illness, resulting in the creation of many different personalities. the album alludes strongly to the dadaist movement.
This album was the end of Alice Cooper's 12 year relationship with Warner Bros. Records. It would be 3 years before another release from Alice. The next album would be on MCA Records.
"I Love America" was released as a single solely in the UK over a month after the album's release.
Cooper reportedly has no recollection of recording DaDa, or the preceding album Zipper Catches Skin, due to excessive alcohol abuse. There was no tour to promote DaDa, and none of its songs have ever been played live.
