For many years now, there has been this band circulating on the Internet that had made it their mission to, more or less successfully, transfer Gene's Secretly Cruel into the 70s sound of our favorite band (1).

Despite the laudability and inherent fun factor of this endeavor, however, I take the adamant position that this circumstance would not really have been necessary, simply considering that Secretly Cruel is the most '70s Kiss sounding Gene song on Asylum (1985) (2) anyway, probably even of the band's entire '80s period. If they had tried their hand at Any Way You Slice It or maybe even Love's a Deadly Weapon, that would have been something completely different.

But let's better focus on Gene himself, because he's also no one's fool when it comes to this song, except a little bit of Rock and Roll Over's (1976) Mr. Speed one should assume. And when Gene gets straight to the point he routinely tells us something about Shake, Rattle and Roll (1954) (3), which again goes really well with grabbing into pocket's rockets and stuff. So we also throw in a good shot of Take me, because a few riffs of it are bouncing around there anyway.

Now all you have to do is shake the whole thing diligently and the milkshake is ready - if you have the right touch, if you know what I mean (4).

Anyway, who's thirsty?

Side Notes:

(1) Including a Plaster Caster-esque pulsating bass intro and borrowings from Christine Sixteen's piano. Double Virgo was the name of this cheerful outfit, if I'm not mistaken.

(2) The album that can easily be described as Rock and Roll Over of the 80s without causing great humiliation in front of the fan community, spiced up with a generous dash of Creatures of the Night (1982) and Unmasked (1980), as I never tire of throwing into the round table.

(3) Compliments to Bill Haley & His Comets.

(4) Sometimes I have fallen prey to the thought that I was working on a huge multidimensional Kiss Puzzle that keeps piling up in front of me, and which will someday take the form of a huge erect male sex organ. What an insanely perfidious stroke of genius, calculated from front to back, that would be.

No highlighted links this time, just as there is no silly text line attached:
