This week's artist is a classic. Hall and Oates are one of my all-time favorite duos. Blue-eyed soulmen at their finest. I still remember the first time I heard this song back in 1981 on the radio. My cousins had come over to hang out, and we were hiding in the hallway listening to "grown folks' business" as our parents sat at the dining room table. Somehow the subject of demon possession came up among the adults. Yeah. No kidding. Scared the bejeezus out of me. This song was playing in the background. It's funny how we relate memories to our senses. To this day, I still can't help but listen to this song with dark and spooky overtones. I often wonder if the adults at the table knew we were hiding out eavesdropping and they let that subject slip to mess with our heads.
Anyway. This is Hall & Oates with Kiss On My List.
Kiss On My ListMy friends wonder why I call you all of the timeWhat can I sayI don't feel the need to give such secrets awayYou think maybe I need help, no I know I'm right all rightI'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on blowing my blissI tell them thisWhen they want to know what the reason isI only smile when alive, and I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my listBecause (your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light
I go crazy wondering what there is to really seeDid the night just take up your time, 'cause it means more to meSometimes I forget what I'm doing, I don't forget what I want, I wantRegret what I've done, regret you? I couldn't go on
But if you insist on blowing my blissI'll tell you thisIf you want to know what the reason isI only smile when alive, then I'll tell you why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my listBecause (your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light
I really missAhhh, (Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life oh babe(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist(Because your kiss is what I miss) when I turn off the light(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list(Because your kiss) your kiss I can't resist(Because your kiss is on my list) of the best things in life
