"Kiss (When the Sun Don't Shine)" is a single by the Vengaboys released in November, 1999.

The song title and words in the chorus are often misinterpreted as "Kiss Where the Sun Don't Shine" (referring to kissing someone on the anus). For instance, music boxes playing the song were the subjects of jokes on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on two occasions.

The song reached #1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart for one week.

Music video

The video was shot in Tokyo, Japan, under the direction of Muto Masashi. Whilst Tokyo is known for lack of proper filming clearance procedures, for the first time in history a specific permission was attained from the mayor of the city to film outdoor scenes in the streets.

During the clip, it features the city at night. Some scenes include men gambling, girls singing a karaoke, as well as a group of Japanese women and several of the band members performing Para Para. It also shows a huge influence of Japanese traditional culture.

The "making of" featurette for the clip reports that after filming the scenes in a nightclub, Roy from the group exchanged his outfit from the video for one of the Dance Dance Revolution machines.
