Songwriter: Tommy Henriksen Bob Ezrin Alice Cooper

Producer: Bob Ezrin

We're gonna have a bash and we're glad you finally got here
Coz we're already trashed and the band is really hot here
We're gonna dance our heads off and we're gonna keep it tight
If we keep ourselves together we might make it through the night

Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls....

We're gonna raise some hell yeah, we're gonna rock and roll here
And my sulphur that you smell well it adds a little soul here
We're dancing on your grave and we're dancing in the street
We're dancing through the fire and it's burning up our feet (burning up our feet)

Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls....

So exciting when we're biting
Come on and play, whatdaya say

Ghouls gone wild, wilder than before
We had a little taste and now we need a little more
Ghouls gone wild, screaming in the night
We're feeling kinda hungry and we came in for a bite
Ghouls... Ghouls.... Ghouls... Ghouls.... Ghouls.... Ghouls....

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
