Kiss was released by Prince and The Revolution in 1986 as the lead single from the album Parade and became a number one hit in the United States. The track stood out for its stripped back funk arrangement, with a tight guitar line, drum machine pulse and Prince's falsetto vocal replacing a traditional bass line. That opening riff became one of the most recognisable guitar moments in pop, widely sampled, covered and imitated. Online, the isolated lick survives as a shorthand for confidence, style and playful seduction in short edits.
