Why am I binge listening to a silly Kiss song?

Do you remember the band Kiss? They sang silly songs are wore silly make-up. But when I listen to their songs now, I realize that the songs were pretty well crafted, even if their tongues were largely in their cheeks when they performed.
I am binge-listening to "I Wanna Rock 'n' Roll All Night..." because my 10-year-old guitar student, Gunnar, wants to perform it at a "talent show" at his school. He's the one who was in a car crash and goes into "fugue states" for a few seconds, then becoming focused again.
He is a good guitar player for a youngun', and he has a pretty voice. I hope we can focus in and get the song "right" today.
Do you remember the band Kiss?

I remember them. I remember they had a comic book wherein their blood was added to the ink. (The things you find out married to a fanboy.)

. I was never into them, but after "getting-to-know" Gene Simmons in reality shows and without make-up, I kinda found his background to be interesting. Hope Gunnar rocks it at his talent show

KISS was the first concert I ever went to. I was in the 3rd grade, and went with my neighbors (and their parents). I was completely blown away by their music, their outfits, and their stage presence.

I have heard of them, but i couldn't place their music. Though I know I do know I wanna rock and roll all night. I just didn't realize it was done by Kiss.

I used to love Kiss, now can barely listen to them. Funny how music changes when get older, most of those 80's make up hair bands were just pretty simple in scheme of things. People say their show presence is what made it neat, not their high quality writing of fun songs.
I love fun songs but even some of theirs kind of was destroyed by bands of the 90's I think because they lyrically showed how it was fun for them where kiss just kind of says the obvious. I dare someone to ask me to show a example.

I remember a concert review from 1978 that started, "Kiss is as tunelessly awful on stage as they are on record..." I was a big fan, anyway.

@TheHorse And they are crying all the way to the bank. Several times a day because they have way too much money for one or two trips.

I love that song, I sure do remember Kiss and had a T-shirt that simply said KISS so it could have been any kind of message, I loved their crazy make up,

I remember the rock band KISS since they were popular in the music industry during the 1970s. I like their songs despite the silly makeup and hiding their faces from the public for many years,
