"Billion Dollar Babies" is a song by American rock band Alice Cooper, released in 1973 as the fourth single off their sixth album Billion Dollar Babies. The track is a duet between Alice Cooper and Scottish musician Donovan, who provides the falsetto and high harmony vocals.
BMI lists the composers of "Billion Dollar Babies" as Alice Cooper, Michael Bruce and Reggie Vinson (a session guitarist who worked with the band previously). Some sources list the composers as Cooper, Bruce, drummer Neal Smith, and "R. Reggie", the latter being an allusion to Vinson's nickname "Rockin' Reggie Vinson".
Reception Record World said that "produced by the incomparable Bob Ezrin, [the single] should see billions of Cooper babies flocking to the stores and gobbling it up."
