10 Cheesiest Glam Metal Songs Ever Written
10. Alice Cooper - House Of Fire
Alice Cooper is a key figure in the world of heavy music, and given his theatrical performances and penchant for stage make-up, you'd think he was inherently tied to the history of glam rock. In that respect, it was no surprise when the Hard Rock pioneer waded into the Glam Metal waters with his 1989 album Trash.
Now, the album did contain some classic songs like Poison, Bed of Nails, and Spark in the Dark, but the album’s third track, House Of Fire, is one of the most unbearable recordings that Mr Cooper has ever produced.
With lyrics like “we are building a house of fire every time we touch”, the song is a collection of heavy-handed sexual innuendo, and forced rhyming. What's worse is that it fails to get away with this as it lacks the charm of some of the albums other entries.
It's certainly held onto its cringe-factor over the years, but it is however very popular with some of Cooper’s more devout following for some ungodly reason, and this certainly explains why it remains a staple in his live set to this day.
