Today’s Bandle Answer
Date | Answer | Year | Genre | Difficulty |
Aug 8, 2025 | KISS – “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” | 1979 | Hard Rock, Disco Rock | 3 |
KISS took a big swing in 1979 by mixing their signature hard rock with disco beats — a crossover that had some fans side-eyeing at first, but it went on to become one of their biggest international hits. The second that bassline kicked in after the drums today, it was game over for anyone who knew late-70s rock-disco fusion.
How I Solved It – Step-by-Step Path
- First Listen: Drums felt clean and punchy but not overly heavy — screamed late 70s production.
- Add the Bass: Funk-tinged yet steady, hinting at disco influence.
- Guitar Layer: That crunchy riff gave away the rock foundation.
- Vocals: The moment Paul Stanley’s voice hit, it was pure KISS.
- Check the Year: 1979 matched perfectly with their disco-rock experiment.
- Final Guess: I Was Made For Lovin’ You locked in before the keys even hit.
Fun Facts About the Song
- Featured on KISS’s 1979 album Dynasty, marking a shift into more commercial, dance-oriented territory.
- Hit #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in multiple countries.
- Still a setlist staple more than 40 years later.
- Co-written with Desmond Child, who later penned hits for Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, and Ricky Martin.
Pro Tips for Crushing Bandle
- Use the year + genre combo to narrow possibilities fast — 1979 + disco rock is rare.
- Pay attention to basslines — they often define era and style more than guitar.
- Recognize signature voices — Paul Stanley’s tone is instantly identifiable.
- Save easy guesses for after vocals appear — use early rounds to eliminate big options.
