I've always been mega-fond of this one-hit wonder from the Ottawa area and thought it deserved a higher ranking.
Looking back we may have gotten it wrong a few times. While sappier songs like "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" by Glass Tiger topped the charts, underrated melancholic gems like "Kiss You (When it's Dangerous)" barely cracked the top 20.
The keyboard-driven tune has an irresistible chorus and a fall vibe. Now over thirty years since its release, it's accurate to say that "Kiss You (When it's Dangerous)" is one of Canada's best contributions to the timeless new wave sound from the 80s.
Fave lyric: "Of all things the thing that I want most, to catch you at the point where you don't have a clue."
