Welcome back to Hitmaker Chronicles' countdown of the Top 20 Songs of the Summer, as voted by the staff of Caloroga Shark Media! I'm your host, Garrett Fisher. Coming in at number 3, we're cranking up Alice Cooper's rebellious 1972 anthem "School's Out" — a song that captured lightning in a bottle by distilling the pure ecstasy of freedom into three minutes of controlled chaos. We'll trace how a former high school cross-country runner turned shock rocker created the ultimate teenage liberation anthem while America grappled with Vietnam and Watergate was just beginning to unfold. Class is in session — but not for long.
