Another example of high-quality Scots folk-singing.

Todd Rundgren - Tiny Demons (1981)
I first heard this song when watching the TV-show Miami Vice and the episode from season 01 called Little Prince back in 2004. A very haunting and dreamlike song which I thought fitted very well with the theme of the episode, which introduces the viewers to the lesser glamorous side of the rich and wealthy people of Florida. Here, Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs must rely on help from a drug addicted teenager in order to shut down his dad's nasty business. That is what I have always enjoyed with Miami Vice and especially during most of season one, very few "fillers" and an incredible variaty of different music genres that worked to almost perfection.

One of the greatest songs for a woman to strip/dance sexy to. Seriously. It's almost 30 years old and has lost none of its potency.

Via spotify, I am listening to the album "Kpm 1000 series: Fashion" by Graham Preskett, released 1986. This isn't really an album in the usual sense, rather it is a collection of tracks intended to be used by film/TV production companies for use in their productions. No doubt, many of these tracks appeared in TV series, movies, commercials, corporate videos and who knows what else. I am actually curious as to which 1980s shows/films/etc used these tracks.

It did sound like it should have been a hit but I think one of the reasons it wasn't was 'cause it came out before 'Poison.' While Alice Cooper had some hits out around the same time like 'Freedom' and 'Teenage Frankenstein' which were on the 'Constrictor' and 'Raise Your Fist and Yell' albums they weren't that successful and 'Poison' and the 'Trash' album are generally considered to be his big comeback and 'Poison' took Alice back up to the top of the charts for the first time since the 70s. If 'He's Back' had been released after 'Poison' it probably would have been a bigger hit 'cause his following singles benefited from it.
That sounds about right. Kinda "sad" that it took so long before the man finally got his "credit where credit is due" comeback. A year or two back, I decided to go through some of his earlier 80s releases and they just did not have that one big sounding and catchy number on them, which Poison surely was to be, and maybe Alice or his record company should have tried to re-release He's Back when he was on the brink of success again. Would probably have charted much higher a second time around. Did you know Alice Cooper appeared in 'A Nightmare On Elm Street 6' and played Freddy's Father? I have collected a lot of songs from Horror movies over the years and 80s Horror movies had some great songs and I liked Dokken's 'Dream Warriors', The Divinyl's 'Backs to the Wall', Dramarama's 'Anything, Anything', Go West's 'Don't Be Afraid of Your Dreams', Tuesday Knight's 'Nightmare' and The Goo Goo Dolls 'I'm Awake Now' which were all in the 'Nightmare On Elm Street' movies and I loved Tuesday Knight's solo album and am surprised she didn't make it bigger as a singer. Here is the Goo Goo Dolls 'I'm Awake Now' which has Freddy Kreuger in the video. 
No, that was new to me, as I think actually I have not seen (or it is so long I cannot remember anylonger) that he had a part in part 6 of the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. Have been planning on going through the entire series again, but I will probably wait until around summertime, watching summer slashers during cold winter time, it is just not the same. Thanks for the heads up, I sure will be on the look out (this time) for Alice and his part. Also, I agree that the horror films of the 80s/early 90s had some terrific songs either written for them or which would be picked for that special film or movie scene, and that is something which I do miss with most modern horror titles, the music/soundtrack are too often "forgettable/random" in a way where I rarely remembers any music that featured in them. Speaking of great mix of horror films/music, I think it is a real shame that Alice Cooper and his fantastic song Wind-Up Toy were never used in any of the Child's Play films, and along with the beautiful ballad (also from the Hey Stoopid album) Might As Well Be On Mars should have been released as singles, as I think they are among his best songs from the late 80s and early 90s. Yeah. I actually own all of those albums too and even own some of the songs he recorded in the Spiders and I think his best albums were in the 70s and 90s but there are some very underrated songs on his 80s albums. There was a big change in styles between the 'DaDa' and 'Constrictor' album and the 'Constrictor' album lead to the sound he had on 'Trash', 'Hey Stoopid' and 'The Last Temptation.' It is funny you mentioned 'Might As Well Be On Mars' 'cause that is one of my all time favourite Alice Cooper songs and Alice Cooper had a lot of good ballads out but most of them are sadly overlooked now much like Paul Stanley's ballads in Kiss which I think were even better than a lot of their fast songs. 'Might As Well Be On Mars' would have been great as a single with a music video but I think the record label might have thought it was too long (the song goes for over 7 minutes) and cutting it down would have ruined the song which is why it wasn't. I liked 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare' and there is a song on that called 'I Am Made Of You' which I think is another one of his best ballads and it used part of the music from 'Steven' from the original 'Welcome to My Nightmare' album but is a completely different song.
