50 Best Rock Songs About Teeth
Rock Tracks That Sink Their Teeth In
There’s something oddly raw about songs that bite back. The ones that grin through the noise, flash something sharp, then sink into it. Teeth show up as symbols, props, or punchlines, but underneath all that enamel talk, there’s hunger and tension and a little bit of chaos. Some of these tracks don’t literally deal with teeth, but they orbit that feeling of grit, pressure, or the strange satisfaction of gnashing through something that hurts in the right way. It’s messy and funny and a little unhinged, like someone smiling too wide at a bar show with feedback rattling the speakers.
You can hear it in the sneer of garage riffs and the slick crunch of alt-rock hooks that sound too clean to be healthy. Some tracks go for the swagger of a chipped-tooth grin, all attitude and chipped paint. Others get weirdly intimate, brushing against vanity and decay in the same breath. There’s something magnetic about music that toys with sharpness—songs that flash their teeth and don’t apologize for it. It’s the same energy that threads through pop, rock, country, and R&B songs that circle around desire and damage without naming it outright.
Not everything here is literal, and that’s the fun of it. Some lean into the image, others chew through it sideways, but they all hit that same nerve where confidence, tension, and impulse grind together. These are the tracks that bite a little harder than they should. Here are the best rock songs that hit the teeth theme right in the jaw.
