Kiss on My List - Hall and Oates

[link] From 1981.  These guys were pop geniuses spanning the 1970s and 80s. And the songs have lost nothing between then and now.  This was probably the first song of theirs that I really notice and appreciated but there were several before this and a whole string of them in the 80s. This was a great time to be doing pop, because it wasn't that hard to cross over between pop (top 40) and rock stations, and these guys were one of the acts that did that.  Less than a decade later rock would ossify into a harder genre, in which "classic rock" sometimes didn't include the more poppy sounds like this.
