"I'm Eighteen" is a 1970/71 song by glam rock and hard rock singer Alice Cooper, featured on their first major label release, Love It to Death. It was the main single from that album and also the band's breakthrough hit.
It was ranked #39 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs, and #482 on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time. It also appeared on Guitar magazine as one of the 50 heaviest riffs of all time.
The song was covered by thrash metal pioneers Anthrax, on their 1984 album Fistful of Metal (the day their youngest member turned 19) and was later covered by post-grunge band Creed on the soundtrack to the 1998 movie The Faculty, and also by Zwan on tour.
This is the song that Johnny Rotten mimed to at the Sex boutique, which got him the job of lead singer of the Sex Pistols.
The song was covered by R&B singer Sean Kingston for a single released on Super Tuesday 2008, to commemorate the singer's 18th birthday as well as the United States presidential primary elections (for which the minimum age is 18). It was released as a part of the Declare Yourself campaign to encourage young people to vote.
