‘School’s Out’ in Dazed and Confused
Named after the Led Zeppelin song, Dazed and Confused features an incredibly rich soundtrack, with ZZ Top, Kiss, Black Sabbath and others on it. If there’s one song that defines the movie, though, it’s the Alice Cooper song ‘School’s Out’. Released in 1993, the film centers around the last day of school for 1970s high school students in the American south. It kicks in as the students empty their school lockers, throwing armloads of paper into the air, and the song perfectly captures that dizzy, euphoric, end-of-term feeling. “School’s out for summer…school’s out forever!”
