DaDa

For other meanings, see Dada (disambiguation)

DaDa is a concept 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 is quite ambiguous, and for that reason alone, many have their own unique interpretations as to what it is about. Ongoing themes in the songs' lyrics, however, strongly suggest that the main character in question suffers from a mental illness resulting in the creation of many different personalities.

Dada, and the preceding album Zipper Catches Skin, are two albums which Alice reportedly has no recollection of recording, due to excessive alcohol abuse. There was no tour to promote either album and none of the songs have yet been played live.
