Newborn calf bears striking resemblance to KISS frontman Gene Simmons

Updated

This cow wants to rock 'n' roll all night and party every day -- or so we'd assume, if she's anything like her human doppelgänger.

The ever appropriately-named "Genie" the calf was born on July 28 in Kerrville, Texas, on the Ranch of Heather Leonard Taccetta who works at Cowboy Steak House.

Taccetta immediately noticed the calf bared a striking resemblance to Gene Simmons, the lead singer of 70's rock band KISS, in his iconic stage makeup.

Genie even likes to stick out her tongue in photos, just like the famous singer. Really, the resemblance is uncanny.

Taccetta shared Genie's photo with Hill Country Visitor, a Texas tourism company, which posted the image on its Facebook group where it went viral.

"Gene Simmons, Where were you on our (sic) about November 25, 2016?" the company wrote in its cheeky post.

Simmons has yet to respond to the joking allegations that he may have fathered the cow, but he did tweet about the calf to express his enthusiasm over the crazy resemblance.

Thankfully, the public doesn't have to worry about Genie's fate. Hill County Visitor reassured fans that the calf will be spared slaughter due to her special markings.

"Obviously, we can't serve this fine specimen," it wrote on Facebook on behalf of Taccetta. "We may just keep Genie as we call her, as a Mascot for the Steakhouse."

Moo on, Genie.🤘
