"No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a single by the hard rock group Alice Cooper, taken from the 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies. The single reached #25 on the US charts and #10 on the UK charts, and helped Billion Dollar Babies to reach #1 in both the UK and the US. Alice Cooper and Michael Bruce wrote the song.

Cooper wrote the song about the reactions of his mother's Church group about Cooper's stage performances and the characters he played onstage. It was him saying that there was worse stuff that he could do in his life and that the "gloves were off now."[1]

Heavy metal group Megadeth did a cover of the song for the 1989 film Shocker. The song was also covered by Pat Boone for the cover album In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy. Czech singer Aleš Brichta recorded this song with the Czech lyrics under the title "Couvnou, pane Bourák" for his second solo album "Ráno ve dveřích armády spásy" in 1996.

The song was re-recorded by Alice Cooper and featured in the video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.[2]

The song was played in the film Dazed and Confused, television show Family Guy, in the episode "Jungle Love" in a parody of the scene from Dazed and Confused, and in the television show The Simpsons, in the episode "Love Is a Many Strangled Thing".
