- They look like evil clowns.
- (FBE) We want you to do your best impression
of Gene Simmons' tongue.
♪ (playful intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, you are going to be
listening to a selection of songs from the band KISS.
- Are they chocolates?
- I've never heard of it.
- I've never heard of them. Probably another metal band.
- Even if you don't know their name, you know
what they look like at least.
- They're romantic and peaceful and com--
no. I'm betting it's gonna be rock.
- ♪ (drums) ♪
♪ (electric guitar) ♪
- Fire?
- That hair is questionable.
- Okay, this isn't what I was expecting.
- They're so crazy.
- Sometimes I don't like heavy bands 'cause my
eardrums hurt, but it's fine.
- ♪ You keep on shouting you keep on shouting ♪
- They have nice music.
- Oh, I know this one.
- Ew.
- No, please don't throw up blood.
- ♪ I wanna rock and roll all night ♪
- This song isn't that bad, actually.
- This video is funny and crazy.
- ♪ And party every day ♪
- Not my type. I don't like old music
and rock and roll.
- Did he have to do this with his tongue?
- For some reason, they're-- I see a lot of ladies
at their house and stuff. Still wondering why that.
- ♪ I know a thing or two about her ♪
- Why are they dressed up as cats?
- It's okay, but why do they have so much face paint
on their face?
- They wear a lot of black and white.
- They look like evil clowns.
- I just can't get over the hair.
- That was a crazy one.
- That song is a little bit better than the other one,
probably because-- I don't know,
it was less loud.
- It all was just really loud bass and then screaming
slash droning.
- ♪ The night's begun and you want some fun ♪
- Oh my God. Just listening to the words,
the words are meaningful.
- I like the ones with the wings.
It looks like they have wings on their face.

- Actually, all of these aren't that bad at all.
- They have a really good guitarist.
- Put your tongue in your mouth.
- Nice music, crazy music, funny videos.
Those are a bunch of things I like.
- Their music kind of sounds the same.
If you put them all together and you show them
to someone who doesn't know this band,
they probably think it would be the same song.
- ♪ Do, do, do, do, do ♪
- Okay, this is the song I know.
- It's not bad. I mean, the video's
a little weird and stuff.
- I just noticed that guy had his shirt off.

- I can't understand a single word they're saying.
- ♪ Can you get enough of me? ♪
- They get really into their music a lot when performing.
- It's pretty cool except that man with the leotard on.
- I couldn't tell if those were from the same song
or from the same album or from 20 years apart.
They all sound the exact same.
- ♪ Stand up, you don't have to be afraid ♪
♪ Get down, love is like a hurricane ♪
- That's nice music. I like it.
I just like all their songs. It's nice.
- I wouldn't listen to it all the time, but it's something
maybe once in a while I'll listen to.
- That guy's getting pretty into it.
- Did he fall over?
- That looked like it hurts.
- I feel like it would be really crazy and energetic
at one of their concerts.
- One of them did a somersault.
He's getting crazier.
- I don't know how these people do all of this
with stuff on their face, 'cause if I have stuff
on my face, all I wanna do is just go...
I don't want it on me.
- This is a love song.
- Finally, one calm. Thank you, people.
- They're not wearing face paint.
- Why does he look so pale?
- ♪ This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind ♪
♪ Forever until my life is through ♪
- It's slow, but I can understand the words better.
- ♪ Forever ♪
- Okay, I really like this one 'cause it's calm.
- I don't like it as much. It doesn't feel like KISS.
- It felt like they were pretending.
They were trying to do that so they could have--
it could be like, "Look, we have range."
- It was better than all the others.
Costumes weren't as strange and they weren't doing
any extremely painful rolls on their heads.
- I can't tell who's who. They all look the same
with the face paint.
- How do you do anything when you're surrounded by smoke.
- ♪ Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet ♪
♪ Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat ♪
- This one's really good. I like this one.
- ♪ Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet ♪
- It gets weirder and crazier and fire in the background.
Oh, fireworks.
- I wouldn't wanna be on stage with fireworks like that.
- It's cool. A little dangerous.
- How do they not get-- how do they not
catch on fire with all those fire effects?
- This has a lot of crazy things going on.
I didn't expect that from what you guys said when you guys
said they were KISS.
- I don't think I'm a fan. I didn't think I was before
and it didn't really change.
- They have pretty good music, but they just have
a weird way of dressing.
- It's nice. It's unique.
I enjoyed it.
- I really like them. They definitely leave you
speechless almost, 'cause you're like,
"That was insane."
- (FBE) So, KISS was formed back in 1973, which means
they've been around for 45 years. - That's a long time.
- That's longer than I've been alive.
I'm only eight years old.
- (FBE) They've sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
- Wow, that's a lot of records.
- (FBE) They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and are considered one of the best selling bands
in the history of rock music. - That's impressive
and they're still performing.
- (FBE) They were known for their crazy live performances
that featured everything from fireworks, rockets going off,
and even spitting blood. - Yeah, that was kind of
disgusting.
- It was unique. It was something I never
seen before.
- (FBE) Do you think if a band like this came out today,
that they would still be as popular?
- No. I wouldn't like the blood part.
- I think they would be popular, but not as popular
as they were, 'cause I don't think costumes like that
are currently in style.
- I don't really know because there haven't been
a lot of bands that are like that really recently.
They other kids would listen to more pop stuff
or rap music or stuff like that and I mean,
that music is good and all, but I like this stuff.
- I think that if they came out today,
they'd be really famous and popular,
because their music's nice, they have a good balance,
and the costumes are just fun and crazy.
- (FBE) Finally, KISS member Gene Simmons is known
for having one of the more iconic tongues in rock music.
- What?
- Why would someone classify someone based on
what their tongue looks like?
- Jeez.
- That's a pretty long tongue.
- He has a long tongue that's like a snake.
- Oh yeah, that tongue is really long
like my dog's tongue.
- The tongue just adds to the demon
that his persona is.
- (FBE) So finally, we want you to do
your best impression of Gene Simmons' tongue.
- I can't do that.
- Mleh.
- Ah.
- Do I have to? That's it.
- Ah. Feel like I'm at the dentist.
- That's as far as I can go. My tongue will not stretch like--
his tongue literally goes to right there.
I'm not a giraffe. No thank you.
