[Hoot Gibson]

Lol!

All of Hoot's and Jet's friends  were getting laid to Jimmy Stokely and J.P Pennington singing that song in '78 but not a single piece of tail for my two conservative buds. lol  Very understandable why they hate that song. LOL

More babies conceived to that song in the late seventies than any other.
Sold, I think, in excess of 5 million copies. Maybe more.


A very unusual song, "Kiss You All Over" combines elements of rock and disco, which was the stylistic sweet spot of 1978. It was the first song Mike Chapman wrote on a keyboard instead of guitar; the instrument could replicate strings, which gave him a new sonic arsenal.

In an interview with Billboard, Chapman said: "It's a very unusual song and is very much about what music in the US is all about in 1978. It's MOR (Middle Of the Road) soft rock, slightly disco though not pure disco, and has a sensuous lyric line that Americans love. Americans are big lyric listeners and listen to every word."

Those lyrics Chapman speaks of lay out some extended foreplay, as our hero promises to cover his lady with kisses "Till the night closes in." You can imagine what happens next.

Whatever "Kiss You All Over," it was not country music, and Exile was not a Country band.
