The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Detroit Rock City

[@atdotcom64]

1976 I was 12 years old and me and my cousins and pals were so into KISS and skateboards. Best summer ever… went out as KISS for last “innocent “ Halloween…

[@bendahlstrom7407]

Last ‘innocent’ Halloween? 🤨 you’ll have to consider yourself lucky… Yoga is a veritable Truth, entirely integral and often essential for the planet’s World Peace.

[@austinmoehring6110]

One of my favorite songs! Timeless! They killed it! Not much of a Kiss fan but I loved The Bosstones ever since I was 18!

[@sammylane21]

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!!A heavily under appreciated '90's band!!LOVE'EM!!

[@clinicalpsychologistwannab7706]

1976 or so, we went to see KISS live in Virginia, seems like a world away - i was a small kid. Stage had 'castle walls in the back, the entire band was on top - lights go out , fire balls exploded and blinded us for a few seconds, long intro then they went into DetroitRockCity and Paul came running down the stairs to sing - man that was one of the most amazing shows ever

I Am So Stupid ! saw them in Winnipeg about 20 years after you and they did the same thing! one of the best shows I've ever been to

[@tallsicilian11]

Saw them in Wilkes-Barre, 1975..They opened for BOC. I was 15....got grounded for 2 weeks, but it was worth it!....lol.

[@ajaddams7277]

;) Remember this moment if you ever find yourself posting about "stupid kids these days" ;)

[@MrAnimal1971]

What a time. The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, Ren & Stimpy cartoons, long hair, and muscle cars. Miss those days.

[@JenX_1973]

I would give up my firstborn to go back to the 90s! Particularly, the early to mid 90s! I graduated high school in 1991, graduated college in 1996, and had a BLAST during my college years! Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, MTV actually played music videos, and had music shows for every musical taste! If you liked rap, then there was "Yo! MTV Raps." If you liked alternative, there was "120 Minutes." If you liked pop, there was "Dial MTV," which was later changed to "Total Request Live." If you liked metal, there was "Headbanger's Ball." I loved ALL of those shows! Kids today will NEVER understand how great MTV really was! I just want to go back to the 90s, and STAY THERE FOREVER!!

[@100percentSNAFU]

​@@kendallthiede373It was truly a great time. Prior to that the world was too conservative, now it's too liberal. The 80's and 90's were the sweet spot, when people were more independent minded and everyone just had a good time without fear of the establishment.

[@kendallthiede373]

@@100percentSNAFU My favorite part of the music video was when they were doing graffiti and doing toilet paper.

[@GrandFunker]

I love it! They took a classic and made it their own.

[@DWNicolo]

The universality of a great song.

[@arrowwaterable8008]

These 1976 kids are watching TV that shows 1979 KISS . Future world. I didn't know such great TV had existed in 1976. I want one.

[@Saint_nobody]

yep, adding this to a collection of great covers. cheers.

[@arthurdayne01]

The brass instruments make this song even cooler.

What's the difference between a bull and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? The bull has its horns up front and the asshole in the back.

You're can't go wrong with a KISS song 💪👌🤘❤️

Love me some BossTones! Never heard or seen this before. Good stuff.

[@Professor_MemesSquad]

You should hear when he clears his throat

[@daspencer4537]

There really aren't any words to describe how much I f*cking LOVE this!!

[@100percentSNAFU]

This was a big part of my rotation when I DJ'd college radio in 1994-95. In fact I "borrowed" the tape from the station and forgot to return it. Still have it, it's on the Where'd you Go EP which in cassette form was a bright red cassette tape.

[@dirkvanderpoel6797]

Wow how cool is this, thirty years after the release of this song I find out there's a video clip.

[@gustavofit52]

El mejor cover de la historia del Rock!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@bjeffrey1863]

Hello to the mighty "D" from Windsor...good times !!

[@shawa666]

Listenig to this version, I'm beginning to thik that Dickie is one of Lemmy's illegitimate sons.

[@IHeartNoise]

Exactly! His voice sounds very much as if he smokes 5 pack of cigs a day - he can easily do some metal/grindcore with that kind of voice.

[@caski77]

shawa666 just a Boston hardcore staple.

Correction : The title is "Boston Skapunk City."

[@nojoek152]

wouldn't it be Bahstahn Skahpunk City?

[@tenebrisrex333]

Joe Krushelnicki city* would be pronounced as Siddy in this case. You are correct.

It’s a long way to the top

[@shaungomez9898]

When I heard this version of the song on CD back in 2008-2009 era when I was 10, I now see this as a different version of what I had in mind in 2024 seeing it in a living room and not outside on the driveway in the Gene Simmons intro

[@maureenwagg5305]

I LOVE this. :) Way too much fun!
