Poison is a song by artist Alice Cooper co-written and produced by Desmond Child, released worldwide as a single in 1989 and is featured on his 18th studio album Trash. The song was one of his biggest hit singles in his home country, the United States, peaking at #7 on the singles chart, while peaking at #2 in the UK, only being held off the top spot by hit dance record, “Swing the Mood” by Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers.
The song was made available as downloadable content (as part of the Alice Cooper pack or as a single) for use in the music video game Rock Band on May 19, 2009.
There are two versions of the video to the song 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 model Rana Kennedy wearing nothing but a black thong. The portions in question were redone with her wearing a corset to cover her breasts. The video is still often played on VH1 Classic’s Metal Mania.
This song is one of Alice Cooper’s most well-known songs, and provided his last major mainstream hit, in 1989.
“Poison” is the first single from the 2004 album 7 Years and 50 Days by German trance group Groove Coverage. It was also released as an EP.
It has been covered by Finnish singer Tarja Turunen on her 2007 symphonic metal album, My Winter Storm.
