Yeah. The video is great for this one too.  They are riding bicycles.  I was hooked the first time I heard it a couple years ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJeP3mipHQY

Hall And Oates - Kiss On My List    (I think this song is catchy and addictive.  I love the piano)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDeB7-31-8

Hall And Oates - Kiss On My List     (I think this song is catchy and addictive.  I love the piano)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDeB7-31-8




I love that song, although I think most of the more popular Hall & Oates songs are catchy!  I'm a big fan.  I could have kicked myself for not seeing them in concert when I had the chance (and they came to my hometown).

If we're talkin' Mainstream 80s Top 40, then here's a brief Top 10 for me ...

♦ Maneater - Hall and Oates
♦ Just Got Lucky - JoBoxers
♦ Give it Up - KC
♦ There Was A Time - One to One
♦ The Breakup Song (They Dont Write 'Em) - Greg Kihn Band
♦ Rio - Duran Duran
♦ Invisible Touch - Genesis
♦ I.O.U. - Freeez
♦ Innocence - Harlequin
♦ All I Need is A Miracle - M1ke + The MeChaN1C5

Hall And Oates - Kiss On My List     (I think this song is catchy and addictive.  I love the piano)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDeB7-31-8


Oh yeah I love that one too, it's got that perfect midtempo sound. I've always been a pretty big Hall and Oates fan but I think their best one of all time is "Possession Obsession" (which Oates actually sings).


My Top Ten Catchiest Songs:

1-Billie Jean--Michael Jackson
2--Little Red Corvette (Dance Mix)--Prince

Agree with all of these. :)


P.S. Was that like a soundtrack song or something 'cause I've never heard of it (and I have all three of Foreigner's '80s albums)?
