"Alice's Restaurant Massacree", commonly known as "Alice's Restaurant", is a satirical talking blues song by singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie, released as the title track to his 1967 debut album Alice's Restaurant. The song is a deadpan protest against the Vietnam War draft, in the form of a comically exaggerated but largely true story from Guthrie's own life.
Alice's Restaurant (folk song, sort of)

I hate the song and one day when I was recovering from surgery I decided to watch the movie. JFC I was high and it was only fun to watch for the recording of the 1970s colors
I still think he should have gone to jail for littering! Those fuckers tossed a lot of shit out their car.

Am I right in saying that Rodney Alcala used part of this song when he took the stand in his own defense?
