At first blush, I don't think he has anything to do with it, which is funny as hell.  Or am I missing something?

King Diamond of course being the stage name for the famous Alice Cooper inspired performance rocker from Denmark.

And what is the song about?  Nodding off on Horse?  ("nothing else feels like this", getting sick...)  BUT the lyrics are sung too aggressively for that – maybe.  Any theories on what the song is about – other than possibly being as random as the King Diamond reference itself seems to be.

And that video link above is AWESOME!  I assume that's some random YouTube user who mashed it up, Rose McGowan stripping in Planet Terror.  Not sure what other video is in there.

Yes he was inspired by Alice Cooper's theatrics. Quite obviously so.
