Song Info

Title: Looking For A Kiss

Artist: New York Dolls

Writer: David Johansen

Song Types: Alternative, Rock

Key: D

Info: New York Dolls were an American rock band formed in New York City in 1971. Along with the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, they were one of the first bands of the early punk rock scenes. Although the band never achieved much commercial success and their original line-up fell apart quickly, the band's first two albums�"New York Dolls (1973) and Too Much Too Soon (1974)�"became among the most popular cult records in rock.

This song is about heroin, which is indicated in lyrics of the last verse: "When everyone goes to your house, they shoot up in your room." At the end of the song, you can hear, "I'm looking for a fix" being shouted instead of "Looking for a kiss."

This was written by New York Dolls lead singer David Johansen and included on the group's self-titled debut album, which was produced by Todd Rundgren. The Dolls made a mark on the East Coast punk scene but never had anything resembling a hit; they broke up in 1976 after just two albums. Johansen, though, landed on the charts in 1987 under the guise of Buster Poindexter with a party song called "Hot Hot Hot."
