First with his band of the same name, and later as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/alice-cooper\/feed-my-frankenstein\">heavy metal solo artist<\/a>, Cooper stirred controversy and paved the way for the likes of Kiss, White Zombie, and Marilyn Manson, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in the spirit of Halloween, or All Hallows\u2019 Eve if you wish, I\u2019ve compiled a list of the spookiest tunes by the Godfather of Shock Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cI\u2019m Eighteen\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I&amp;apos;m Eighteen\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AZ1MdRgU7Hw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more frightening than Alice Cooper\u2019s macabre theatrics? Growing up. \u201cI\u2019m Eighteen\u201d put the Alice Cooper band on the map with a glam-rock jam that describes the anxiety of the in-between. At 18, one becomes a legal adult yet remains a teen at the same time. It\u2019s the threshold between responsibility and insouciance. Singer Vincent Furnier would later adopt Alice Cooper as his stage name following the band\u2019s split. But here, Furnier howls a youth anthem that changed the trajectory of his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lines form on my face and hands,<br>Lines form from the ups and downs.<br>I\u2019m in the middle without any plans,<br>I\u2019m a boy and I\u2019m a man<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cSchool\u2019s Out\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"School&amp;apos;s Out (2002 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RWgTD_0jxeE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I imagine in the early 1970s many parents tried desperately to keep Alice Cooper records from their children. Then the band released one of the great rebellion anthems in rock history: \u201cSchool\u2019s Out\u201d. Perhaps terrifying for the olds but life-affirming for the youth. This is kicking open the doors, as students toss notebooks, pencils, and inhibitions like wild animals freed from cages. \u201cWe might not come back at all,\u201d they threaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>School\u2019s out with fever,<br>School\u2019s out completely<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No More Mr. Nice Guy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No More Mr. Nice Guy (2023 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PPhgKNmBFCo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alice Cooper released <em>Billion Dollar Babies<\/em> in 1973. It topped the charts and became the band\u2019s best-seller. Backed by the single \u201cNo More Mr. Nice Guy\u201d, in which Cooper announces that his friends have all disappeared thanks to his notorious reputation. His critics couldn\u2019t distinguish performance art from the idea that this rock star must be utterly demonic. So he and his band responded with another classic rock staple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing,<br>Till they got a hold of me.<br>I opened doors for little old ladies,<br>I helped the blind to see<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Richard E.
