B-side"Cold Ethyl"

"Welcome to My Nightmare" is the title track to Alice Cooper's eighth studio album. It peaked at 45 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The song itself mixes elements from disco,[2] jazz, hard rock, and keeps a "heavy-yet-funky beat". Cooper would later perform the song on The Muppet Show. The tune was placed tenth on a list AOL Radio made of the "10 Best Halloween Songs".[3]

Acoustic guitar is played by Dick Wagner, bass by Tony Levin, clarinet by Jozef Chirowski, drums by Johnny "Bee" Badanjek, and guitar by Steve Hunter.[4]
