Yungblud has covered the KISS hit ‘I was Made For Loving You’ for the soundtrack for Ryan Gosling’s new action-comedy The Fall Guy. 

Yungblud’s take on the song starts off stripped back before blossoming into a rockier song closer in style to the icons’ original 1979 song. Towards its conclusion, it becomes more minimalistic again.

“celebratin. fall guy is out now! go see it. it’s so sick makin music for films would luv to be in them one day,” the Doncaster artist, real name Dom Harrison, wrote in Instagram.

“ps. yes, ryan gosling is hot in real life.”

Yungblud’s cover even earned the approval of the band’s Paul Stanley, who wrote in a comment on the artist’s Instagram: ” “A REALLY terrific new version and take on our classic. @yungblud NAILS it!!”

Ina four-star review of The Fall Guy, NME wrote: “In short, The Fall Guy is a delight from start to finish, thanks to a sparkling script, thrilling action sequences and to-die-for comic chemistry between the two leads. There are even a couple of lovely nods to the original TV show, which is kind, considering nobody under 50 is likely to clock them.”

Yungblud recently spoke to NME about  his own festival BludFest, which will be taking over Milton Keynes Bowl this summer with a stacked line-up including recent collaborator Lil Yachty, as well as Soft Play, Nessa Barrett, The Damned, Lola Young, Jazmin Bean and many more to be announced.

Asked what it means to be headlining Milton Keynes Bowl in the footsteps of David Bowie, Queen, Green Day and Linkin Park, Yungblud told NME: “Wow! What the fuck? That’s the fucking mad, isn’t it? BludFest is happening! I’m launching my own festival. I had the idea to do it last November. I just had fucking insomnia one night and thought, ‘What’s the next thing we can do that is really a staple and just pushes the boundaries?’”

He added: “This whole thing has been about fucking with people. When press don’t write about us, when labels don’t want us, when festivals don’t take us seriously, when people don’t take my generation seriously, let’s just poke the bear every time and piss everyone off to see if we can get away with it. We’re a community, we’re getting bigger, we’re gonna do it anyway!”
