Originally posted April 12, 2012
“Kiss Me” is a song originally released in November, 1982 by the British band Tin Tin (sometimes written TinTin). The song was allegedly written within 24 hours after the band had signed a record deal with WEA Records. This version was produced by Bob Lamb and peaked at #155 on the UK singles chart.
The single was re-released in the US, Canada and Japan with the François Kevorkian remix in 1983. This version peaked at #13 on the U.S. Dance Chart.
Lead singer and guitarist in Tin Tin, Stephen Duffy, later re-recorded the song twice and released it as a solo single using the name of Stephen “Tin Tin” Duffy.
The chorus is based on a passage from the book Song of Songs.
“Kiss Me” was the last song to be played on BBC Radio 1s MW frequency in 1994, before the station became FM only.
