"Kiss You All Over" is a number one single in the United
States during 1978 by the group Exile. It was included on the
band's album
Mixed Emotions, and it featured primarily the late Jimmy
Stokley on lead vocals (although guitarist J.P. Pennington also
had some lead vocal parts). This song proved to be Exile's only
big hit in the pop rock market; Stokley left the band in 1979,
and the remaining members took a decidedly more country
direction with the dawning of the 1980s.
The song appeared in the 1996 Adam Sandler film
Happy Gilmore. It was also used in 2007 on CBC's
Hockey Night In Canadaduring a montage of Stanley Cup
celebrations at the conclusion of the final game of the Stanley
Cup Playoffs.
The song was also featured in the Andy Kaufman biopic,
Man on the Moon, in the scene where Andy visits some
prostitutes, and in the 2006 comedy
Employee of the Monthin a scene which Dax Shepard and
Efren Ramirez are listening to the song and end up discussing
it.
