"Scared" comes off Dangerous Toys' self-titled 1989 debut, the record that introduced the Texas hard rock band, and it was one of the album's singles along with "Teas'n Pleas'n" and "Sportin' a Woody". It's their tribute to Alice Cooper, and Jason McMaster, who wrote the words and sings lead, sounds like he's having a ball with it.
McMaster shares the music credit with guitarist Scott Dalhover, bassist Mike Watson and drummer Mark Geary. Dalhover is the only guitarist on the record, too: Tim Trembley had quit before the sessions began, and though Danny Aaron is pictured on the back cover, he doesn't play a note. Max Norman produced, engineered and mixed it, and the backing vocals are credited to the Waste “O” Skin Choir, which says plenty about the band's sense of humor.
