“Poison” – Single by Alice Cooper from the album Trash.
Released July 17, 1989.

In this song, Cooper sings about a girl who is bad for him, but he can’t resist her charms. There is an element of masochism in the song, as Alice sings, “I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name.” The song tied “School’s Out” for Cooper’s highest chart placing in the US.

“Poison” marked a major comeback for Alice Cooper, becoming his first Top 10 hit in the US and UK for 12 and 16 years respectively, and remains one of his best known songs.

A multi-generational hit, “Poison” is far and away Cooper’s most popular song on streaming services and YouTube.

There are two versions of the video to the song, one of which shows Alice Cooper being chained to a bizarre mechanism and singing while a ghostly woman looms over him. The original video had to be censored for showings during the day, due to shots of a topless model. Rana Kennedy plays the roles of both women in the video but the topless scene were shot with a body double. This is notably visible in the video. The studios in which the video was filmed in spring of 1989 have since been torn down and are now a parking lot in Los Angeles.
