This is the video for Teenage Frankenstein<\/i>, by Alice Cooper<\/a>, the grand-daddy of shock-rock. <\/p>\n

It originally appeared on Constrictor<\/i> (1986), though I came to it via Prince of Darkness<\/i> (1989), the compilation record he put out in 1989 for, I’m guessing, all of the new fans like me that he acquired when Trash<\/i> (1989) blew up.<\/p>\n

Also, I totally just fell down a YouTube hole just now while looking for this video, and while we’re on the subject of Trash<\/i>, man I had forgotten how much I really loved House of Fire<\/i>. Poison<\/i> was so good, too, I still listen to that one frequently. But if you just want a quick overview of his back catalog, Prince of Darkness<\/i> works pretty well; my other super-creepy favorite from that one was Roses on White Lace<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to Teenage Frankenstein<\/i>, which I am sharing because it is great and has an immensely satisfying chorus to shout along to, especially if you are fourteen and feel really awkward. And it’s still fun when you are way older than fourteen, too.<\/p>\n
