  • I know a thing or two about her
    I know she'll only make you cry
    She'll let you walk the street beside her
    But when she wants, she'll pass you by

    Everybody says she's lookin' good
    And the lady knows it's understood
    Strutter

    She wears her satins like a lady
    She gets her way just like a child
    You take her home and she says maybe, baby
    She takes you down and drives you wild

    Everybody says she's lookin' good
    And the lady knows it's understood
    Strutter

    I know a thing or two about her
    I know she'll only make you cry
    She'll let you walk the street beside her
    But when she wants, she'll pass you by

    Everybody says she's lookin' good
    And the lady knows it's understood

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganAm I the only one who thinks the riff reminds them of "Brown Sugar" by the 'Stones? I know Kiss were hugely influenced by them.
  • Vendetta from Phoenix AzI keep thinking specific kiss songs are about toxic relationships/manipulation but then I remember just about all of their songs are about hooking up with and sleeping with pretty women.
  • Anastasia from Charlotte, NcStrutter is about a prostitute,not some woman in flashy clothes just walking down the street
  • Goombario from Jacksonville, FlGuitar Hero is actually a pretty cool video game. Although a lot of people take it pretty seriously, it's just a game. There's not need to curse it, but there's certainly no need to claim you're anything special for playing Through the Fire and the Flames.
  • Jason from Denver, CoI really wish that KISS would release the ACTUAL footage that was filmed for the concerts that became KISS ALIVE and KISS ALIVE II.
  • Scott from Boston, MaMy favorite Kiss song. Can't understand why everyone always puts "Rock and Roll All Nite" ahead of it.
  • Randell from Sydney, AustraliaThis is my favourite KISS song and it was also the first KISS song i ever heard and got me hooked to KISS.
  • Cory from Seaford, DeI got turned on to this song by GH2, and I realized it's a great song... this and "Back in the New York Groove" got me hooked on Kiss.
  • Cam from Cambridge, CanadaThis was the first song Peter Criss played with Gene and Paul togethr.
  • Cam from Cambridge, CanadaThis song is on Guitar hero 2 for ps2
  • Mike from Germantown, MdThis is on Guitar Hero II.
  • Fyodor from Denver, CoThey nip a rhyme from The Beatles, and on the very same subject matter! I never noticed that before. Must be more obvious from reading the lyrics than hearing them, maybe cause the song's so different muscially.
  • Pete from Sydney, AustraliaExtreme did a cover of this for the "Kiss My Ass" tribute cd, as good, if not better than original
  • Shana from Pembroke,ontario, CanadaAwesome song. KISS rocks
  • Tom from Fishkill, NyOne of my favorite Kiss tunes. When I sang in a band called "Rundal", we used to close every show with Strutter...I especially loved the emphised guitar part during the 3rd verse, right after "She'll let you walk the streets beside her" and before "But when she wants, she'll pass you by."
  • Katie from Goulburn, AustraliaThe Donnas did a cover of "Strutter" on the Detroit Rock City soundtrack.
  • Ken from Lasalle, CanadaA great song by the Greatest Rock Band on Earth. And Mike, Kiss wasn't falling apart Destroyer era. The band began to implode much later, late 1979, 1980.
  • Mike from Kansas City, KsStrutter made me a Kiss fan. While it wasn't a complicated song by any stretch, it is the kind of raw-edged heavy rock sound that made Kiss what they are today.
    I saw Kiss the first time during their first Double Live album era and they were amazing to watch and hear. By the time I saw them a couple of years later (Destroyer) the band was falling apart. It's the beleive they are still kicking - musically that is.
