“House of Fire” by Alice Cooper

"House of Fire" came off Trash, Alice Cooper's 1989 album, and it was an outside job of the glossiest kind: rocker Joan Jett co-wrote it with Desmond Child, the songwriter whose earlier credits ran to Billy Squier, Bonnie Tyler and Ronnie Spector. Britain got the single first, late in 1989, and gave it a lukewarm 65; America followed early in 1990 and pushed it to 56 on the Hot 100 and 39 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

There's a footnote, too. Bon Jovi also recorded a demo of it, which finally surfaced in 2014 on an alternate deluxe edition of their New Jersey album.
