Valentine Kisses: Kiss Off

Tweet

Ah, this song is right up @Crossbones27 ‘s alley. The rest of you will probably be nauseated, so I’ll give you a more “commercially appealing” bonus song today. Meanwhile, here’s today’s song with “kiss” in the title. Kiss Off - Violent Femmes Rags to riches: the Violent Femmes were singing on the street corner and the Pretenders walked by and saw them. They asked the Femmes to open their Milwaukee show that night. The rest is history. A very complicated history. This band has broken up I don’t know how many times, and there have been lawsuits (bassist Brian Ritchie sued lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Gordon Gano for letting Lay’s Potato Chips use “Blister in the Sun” in a TV commercial ), but somehow they manage to survive. So you won’t know this one. You probably won’t like this one. But in my weird, eclectic music world, it fits just fine. Kiss Off Written by Gordon Gano Recorded by the Violent Femmes From Violent Femmes, 1983 I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record!
