This song was off the Killer album. It peaked at #59 in the Billboard 100. One of my favorites of Alice Cooper. The song wasn’t a giant success but it has remained in Alice’s set since it was released in 1971.
From Songfacts.
This track was written by the group’s guitarist Michael Bruce and bass player Dennis Dunaway along with producer Bob Ezrin. Bruce and Dunaway also co-wrote “School’s Out” and “I’m Eighteen.”
Dennis Dunaway about writing the song.
This was another song that I wrote. I remember singing the song to Glen Buxton about this guy who’s just bought a brand new car and he’s going over to pick up his girlfriend and take her to the movies. Glen was like, ‘We don’t do girl songs!’ And I was like, ‘No, the guy runs over the girl.’ So he said, ‘Oh, OK.’ Ha ha! Anyway, Under My Wheels is about a guy who accidentally runs over his girlfriend, who he’s trying to impress with his new car. It was a fairly decent hit in America, and we also plugged it in Britain. We did a Killer tour over there when the single had just been released.
“Under My Wheels”
The telephone is ringing you got me on the run I’m driving in my car now anticipating fun
I’m driving right up to you babe I guess that you couldn’t see yeah yeah
But you were under my wheels why don’t you let me be

Got you under my wheels yeah yeah I got you under my wheels
Aah the telephone is ringing you got me on the run I’m driving in my car now anticipating fun

But you were under my wheels why don’t you let me be
Yeah yeah got you under my wheels yeah yeah I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels got you got you got you got you
Under my wheels got you under my wheels wheels wheels wheels

The name “Alice Cooper” came from the TV show Mayberry RFD. after aunt Bee (Frances Bavier) left the show the house keeper that replaced her was Alice Cooper. also the name of the band was Alice Cooper when they started but at some point Vincent Furnier took the name as Alice Cooper.

Yea that sounds right…It was a story about an ouija board and named after a witch…but the Mayberry connection sounds more plausible.

Alice’s Greatest Hits- is a great album- I never explored his studio albums. I’ve thought of buying his box set- if I ever see it again… Under My Wheels- my brothers favorite Alice… Didn’t Eddie Haskell grow up to become Alice Cooper?– I know Paul Pfeifer became Marilyn Manson.

Now I did hear the Paul Pfeifer rumor! The greatest hits is really good. He had a variety of songs….and with that makeup he never ages.
