About

Cool Kids is the second album released on Atlantic Records in 1983 by the glam metal band Kix. The album reached position #177 on the Billboard charts. The album showcased a slightly more commercial side of the band. The first single released off the album, "Body Talk" (written by Nick "Hot Child in the City" Gilder), was believed to be written to appease the band's label, who, eager to capture some steam at radio, also forced the band into shooting a video for the song which featured the band commiserating with ladies in full-on workout garb.
