Kiss My Ass: Classic Kiss Regrooved is a 1994 tribute album, featuring a variety of artists covering songs from the American hard rock band Kiss. The album was certified gold by the RIAA, and spent thirteen weeks on the charts.
"Calling Dr. Love" was performed by one-off band Shandi's Addiction, made up of vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Billy Gould, and drummer Brad Wilk. The band's name is taken from "Shandi," a song from the 1980 Kiss album Unmasked.
"Strutter", sung by Extreme, is an unusual recording, as it also incoprorates the chorus of "Shout It Out Loud" sung by the backing vocalist. Also, after the song has ended, one of the band members sings the introductory guitar lick to "Love Gun".
Canadian, Japanese and Australian copies of the album have their respective flags in place of the American Flag of the U.S. version.
