SecondHandSongs is a great resource for looking up cover versions. It doesn't indicate she's ever done a KISS song, but that she did butcher "You Shook Me All Night Long."

I like the video more than the music. Not that the song is bad, just rather generic.revbob wrote: ↑31 Jul 2024, 8:03pmIt isn't just the vocals, the music is often equally cheesey.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Jul 2024, 5:52pmI've wondered if the French language just doesn't lend itself to rock, whether it lacks the right aggressiveness in inflection.revbob wrote: ↑31 Jul 2024, 5:50pmIts like they dont know how to not make if cheeseyDr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Jul 2024, 5:47pmYeah, there's some French Canadian pop that's alright, but rock music just dies there.

Well, it's in French (some bits in English, too), but Plastic Bertrand is Belgian.
Also, Joe Strummer liked it, according to a quote from him on the song's Wikipedia page:
The song was praised by Joe Strummer of The Clash: "Plastic Bertrand compressed into that three minutes a bloody good record that will get any comatose person toe-tapping, you know what I mean? By purist rules, it's not allowed to even mention Plastic Bertrand. Yet, this record was probably a lot better than a lot of so-called punk records."
