📖 The Story
Trending Topic: Alice Cooper turning 78 on February 4, 2026 — the godfather of shock rock refusing to slow down, still touring, still bringing the guillotine, still scaring a new generation.
When this trend hit, we saw something universal: the defiance of anyone who's been counted out, written off, expected to retire gracefully. The obituary gets drafted every year, but the ink keeps fading while they keep lighting up the sky.
We leaned into shock rock's natural imagery — guillotines that never fall, horror movie monsters that won't stay dead, snakes shedding skin for another reinvention. The hook "Still Got Teeth" captures it perfectly: you may be old, but you're still dangerous.
This is a WARNING, not a retrospective. Every gray hair is a crown. Every cracking bone is thunder. They expected you to wither — you just doubled the fuck down.

🎸 The Sound
Heavy guitar riffs with theatrical flair. Anthemic, chantable chorus hook. Menacing yet melodic vocals — raspy but hitting the notes. Dark, dramatic production with organ accents. Gang vocals on the chorus for arena energy.
📝 Lyrics
The obituary's been drafted seventeen times
They update it every year I don't die
But the ink keeps fading in their filing cabinets
While I'm still lighting up the sky
Count the candles, count the decades
Every one's a middle finger raised
You wanted peaceful resignation
I gave you gasoline and rage
Still got teeth, still got teeth
Still the nightmare underneath
Still got teeth, still got teeth
I'm the monster in the streets
[gang vocals] STILL GOT TEETH!
The blade above my head's been rusting
Hanging there since I forget
Every year they oil the mechanism
But the rope's still in my grip yet
Every bone that cracks is thunder
Every gray hair is a crown
They expected me to wither
I just doubled the fuck down
Still got teeth, still got teeth
Still the nightmare underneath
Still got teeth, still got teeth
I'm the monster in the streets
[gang vocals] STILL GOT TEETH!
The rocking chair's collecting dust
The slippers stayed in the box
'Cause I'd rather die mid-swing
Than surrender to the clock
These hands were made for holding microphones
Not waving sad goodbyes
And every time they count me out
The monster multiplies
Still got teeth, still got teeth
[gang vocals] STILL DANGEROUS!
Still got teeth, still got teeth
STILL THE NIGHTMARE UNDERNEATH!
[all voices, crescendo]
STILL GOT TEETH!
STILL GOT TEETH!
STILL GOT TEETH!
Your move.
