I Was Made For Lovin' You - Kiss ("Spaghetti Western" Style Cover) ft. Effie Passero

[@gregpendleton4957]

Crazy version of this song. Wow.

[@67wing]

I love how much restraint the singer has. Most singers with a voice of that calibre feel the need to riff and show off. A truly remarkable talent

[@geoffreyofmonmouth9796]

Over-singing has become a real curse

[@roytee3127]

True - there's another PMJ singer who really does overdo it - it's her style. It sounds good until you hear Effie.

Loved it. She was a show-stopper

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

What a voice!!!

[@postmodernjukebox]

'Moulin Rouge' Tango? Morricone 'Spaghetti Western' Overture? You decide what style this is. There's only one thing we are certain about: Effie Passero is one of the great singers of our time!

[@sootikins]

Tango? Morricone? I say it's both. The first ~half clearly sounded like tango to me. But once Mike came in on trumpet the vibe totally changed to Morricone. What an interesting arrangement! Well done.

[@dianebaker5243]

Stylishly beautiful 😍

[@clivesmith9377]

What about Burlesque? I can see Dita Von Teese dancing to it.

[@DailyGrindAus]

Saw her in concert in Canberra Australia singing this plus Hallelujah and Creep. People were moved to tears and she got two standing ovations. I have never before felt a voice fill every space in an entire theatre. If you ever get the chance to see her live, do it, you won't regret it.

[@francescapassero8454]

Thank you so much! I’m glad that you enjoyed so much. Can’t wait to come back to Australia

[@JulsieMusic]

can attest! I never thought I'd hear a better Hallelujah after KD but...

Saw her in Melbourne... Was literally breathless and can confirm that people were moved to tears. I cried like a baby when she sang 'Hallelujah'. Her voice is phenomenal and vibrates right through you

Am I the only one who feels like there could be a Quentin Tarantino movie written just for this? Because that's where I went while listening to it, most especially when the trumpet came in.

[@DMp-xp6mj]

This went from a sultry burlesque song to an opera, to a western soundtrack and I'm obsessed 😍

same! my dad loves kiss and i grew up listening to them. this is magical.

[@rabiatorthegreat6163]

I've been listening to hard rock and metal since the 80s too, but I found this song overly pompous as performed by Kiss. I think the PMJ version is better than the original. They take the over the top bombast away, and the song works better that way.

[@fvrrljr]

@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Nope i must disagree. without original PMJ wouldn't have their version. i feel ya with other music where copy out does original, but for me this one stays as-is 👍

[@Krisygirl3]

@@rabiatorthegreat6163 if you knew anything about kiss you'd know that the whole point of that band and their shows was to be overly pompous, but I did say this was one of the best covers I've ever heard

[@wesleygalvin9983]

I don't know why, but I'm always surprised how great these songs sound when sung in a different genre! Then when I hear them it's totally obvious they also suit jazz or spaghetti western!! I don't care what genre you call it, Scott and the team are genius at this, and it's helping to warm the winter in Sydney. G'day from Australia.

[@msp420]

so I already have a great idea for my first hit movie. A young Native man of the local area falls in love with the mayor's daughter of the newly erected settlement mining town. It is overrun with corruption and mass destruction and disrespect to the old ways of the lands. In a magical and violent love affair about freedom and standing up to oppression, a long lost tale of courage that is ever so needed in current times. This song will be the theme used throughout to show the power that one man can have to inspire change within even those outside of his race. It only takes one spark to ignite a spiritual evolution! Thank you for turning my favorite Kiss song to an even better version which inspires me creatively.
