"Kiss You All Over" was 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 would prove to be Exile's only big hit in the pop rock market; Stokley would leave the band in 1979, and the remaining members would take a decidedly more country direction with the dawning of the 1980's.

The song would appear in the 1996 Adam Sandler film Happy Gilmore. It was also used in 2007 on CBC's Hockey Night In Canada during a montage of Stanley Cup celebrations at the conclusion of the final game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The song also featured in the Andy Kaufman biopic, Man in the Moon, in the scene where Andy visits some prostitutes.
