Do you know those songs that as soon as they start, you start smiling, closing your eyes, turning your head slightly on your back, singing and dancing? Yes, I know, there are many! But today I challenge you to tell me just one! More exactly,

A song that makes you smile.

I know you're probably thinking of completely different songs and you don't expect me to choose this song, but it's one of my soul songs and, yes, it makes me smile, right from the first notes. This is Poison from Alice Cooper, one of the classic rock songs, released on July 7, 1989.

It was composed by Alice Cooper, along with Desmond Child, one of the "hit composers", who contributed to some of the most famous songs from Aerosmith, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Cher, Meat Loaf, Joan Jett. Maybe that's why Poison became one of the biggest hits signed by Alice Cooper, especially since at that time the artist was already on his 18th album. And by the way, you know Alice Cooper isn't actually called Alice Cooper, is she? His real name is Vincent Damon Furnier and he was born on February 4, 1948, in Detroit.

Poison makes me smile because it reminds me of many beautiful moments, because I sang it so many times and because it simply makes me stand up and forget about everything. Shall I say that I won a karaoke contest in Bulgaria with this song ?

Poison

by Alice Cooper

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You’re poison
I don’t want to break these chains
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I’m caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat
I hear you calling and it’s needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don’t want to touch you but you’re under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You’re poison
I don’t want to break these chains
Poison
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna to hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins
You’re poison
I don’t want to break these chains
Poison (poison)
I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Yeah, well I don’t want to break these chains
Poison (poison)
Runnin’ deep inside my veins
Burnin’ deep inside my brain (poison)
Poisoning (poison)
I don’t want to break these chains (poison)
Poison
(Poison) I don’t want to break these chains (poison)
