Kiss Alive II Lyrics

About the funniest guy I know
Sad to see you go
So glad we made it
So glad we stayed friends after all

Peavey amps and Roto toms
Butchered our favorite songs
No harm in trying
We had fun trying after all

I gave you Bennie and the Jets
You gave me Kiss Alive II
I gave you Bennie and the Jets
You gave me Kiss Alive II

Down in the basement after school
Girlfriends by the pool
So sure we'd make it
Looks like we made it after all

(chorus)

My friend Todd it's not another day for you
You've got a little girl to show
Who the world belongs to
And I'm so proud of you now

(solo)

So glad we made it
So glad we stayed friends after all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

After watching BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, this song reminds me a lot of the series.

Erm.. as for the song.

Since it's mentioning Todd, who I can only assume is Todd Foulsham, the drummer who founded the group with Mike Viola - the song must be about his leave from the group somewhere in the 90's. He did, however, come back with him to perform on Hang On Mike, and Kiss Alive II is on the album, so it's talking about their pasts and reminiscing about the old days: They were just two kids dreaming of making it big, and in the end, in their perspective, they did.

Bennie and the Jets is a single by Elton John, and (Kiss) Alive II is a live album by Kiss. I'm not entirely sure what the meaning behind them is- It obviously has something to do with different tastes, though. I don't think you'd expect a Kiss fan to also be an Elton John fan, or vice-versa.

So, despite their musical differences, they "stayed friends after all". The only part about the song I feel isn't exactly self-explanatory is the third verse. "You've got a little girl to show / who the world belongs to / and I'm so proud of you now" - Does Todd have a daughter? Perhaps a girlfriend? Lack of info on the band itself is frustrating...
