"Strutter" is a song by American rock band Kiss, originally from their self-titled debut album, released in 1974. It was the third and final single released from the album, and failed to chart. Despite this, the song is a staple of the band's live concerts, and appears on many Kiss live and compilation albums. The song was featured in the video games Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Guitar Hero 2.
== Composition and lyrics == "Strutter" is one of the few Kiss songs written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley together. Stanley wrote new lyrics to "Stanley the Parrot," a song whose music was composed by Simmons. It combines a Rolling Stones-styled groove with a glam rock style as it pairs syncopated, ascending verse melodies with a two-note chorus that ends in a shout of the song's title. The lyrics, based on the well-dressed vixens the band saw in the streets of New York, show a Bob Dylan influence.
