That’s the correct answer. What an absolute embarrassment of a song, even by Kiss standards.

In 1987, I didn’t mind it. There was a lot of schlocky poppy songs by bands of the genre. I listened to it this weekend, instigated by this thread. It’s very weak and empty sounding. That doesn’t count the abysmal lyrics.kytepunches wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2025 3:13 pmThat’s the correct answer. What an absolute embarrassment of a song, even by Kiss standards.

Since I only consider "Kiss" to be in existence up to '78 or so, I'll have to go with either sucky Then She Kissed Me, or the lame Tomorrow and Tonight

KISS has quite a few cringeworthy songs, but I'll go with "Shandi" because several people have already voted for "Crazy Crazy Nights." "Let's Put the X in Sex" is also pretty shitty, even by KISS standards.

they have many, but I’m voting for “My Way”

A lot of worthy contenders.
I understand the impulse to go 80's here. They made a lot of mistakes in the 80's.
But the correct answer is...
"Room Service."

Sure I’m going to get shit, but the answer is Beth.
Song sucks and I sure as hell don’t want to hear your drummer sing it.

There are too many to count. When Paul put down the guitar he managed to make DLR look masculine in comparison so that era for sure.

It Never Goes Away.
Yes, it's more embarrassing than both Nothing Can Keep Me From You and I Finally Found My Way to hear Paul sing about heartless, rich and greedy churches raping the needy.

Gene's entire solo album, except for Wish Upon a Star, which SHOCKER he didn't write.

I'm sticking with "Room Service" but I don't think we can convey in mere words for godawful this song is. It's VERY obvious that they were going for "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" and failing at that big of a swing is just pathetic.
The most remarkable thing about that song is how overproduced it is while simultaneously being completely tuneless and unmemorable. The world's biggest Kiss fan could not sing that chorus for you.
I actually had it mixed up, just now, with "I Finally Found My Way," their Psycho Circus attempt at recreating the "Beth" magic that is just as tuneless and unmemorable. I was going to talk about how awful of a singer Pete Criss is and then remembered it's another dogshit song entirely.

This Room Service thing of yours is odd. While I could see someone thinking it was nothing great, it's just a fun, innocuous song by young guys about fucking, done in the same-ish style as the rest of that album.Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 10:24 amI'm sticking with "Room Service" but I don't think we can convey in mere words for godawful this song is.

How you could find that more egregious than any of the soulless, pure money grab drek done in their later years when they were just bitter money grubbing assholes happy to shit on the fans for the $ is strange to me. Strange, I say.
