"Strutter" is a song by the American hard rock band KISS, released on their self-titled debut album in 1974. The song was released as the third single from their album and failed to chart.
One of the few KISS songs written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley together, as Stanley wrote lyrics to a song Simmons had originally wrote called "Stanley the Parrot". Stanley would show some of his Bob Dylan influences in the lyrics.[1]
A fan favorite over the years, the song has been played at numerous KISS concerts and has appeared on various KISS albums such as Alive! and Smashes, Thrashes & Hits. The band also recorded a new version in 1978 for their greatest hits album Double Platinum titled "Strutter '78".
A cover of the song was preformed by The Donnas
