"I'm Eighteen" is a 1970 song by glam rock and hard rock band Alice Cooper, featured on their first major label release album "Love It to Death". It was released in November 1970, 3 months prior to the album, and became 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. The song was also covered by Camp Freddy with Slash on guitar and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park on vocals.

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.

It was most recently used in an episode of the 1999 cult TV show Freaks and Geeks, when Guidance Counsellor Mr. Rosso (Dave "Gruber" Allen) played an acoustic cover of the song to show the kids he knew what they were going through.

Pop Reggae Artist Sean Kingston has covered the song for his up coming album, set for release in 2009.
