Single Review: Stella Soleil "Kiss Kiss"

"Samirk (Spoilt/Kiss Kiss)" recorded by Turkish pop singer Tarken in 1997. According to Wikipedia, it has been covered in several languages including Greek, Persian, Arabic, Spanish, and English. The first English version to be released was by Stella Soleil in the United States.

Soleil wants to get laid in the presumptuous "Kiss Kiss."

An affected kissing sound opens the single. A mediocre dance beat follows, setting a sordid tone. She asks the guy what was his first impression of her. She says that she's as sexual as she appears. She tells him that he's gorgeous, although not much else. Insulted, he starts to walk away. However, she says that he really does like her and wants to feel her up. Even though they bicker, they want to have sex with each other. It's a natural response.

When you look at me/Tell me what do you see?/This is what you get/It's the way I am/When I look at you/I wanna be I wanna be/Somewhere close to heaven/With neanderthal man/Don't go/I know you wanna touch me/Here there and everywhere/Sparks fly when we are together/You can't deny the facts of life.

In the chorus, he scoffs at sleeping with her in the backseat of his convertible. However, she's berates him for it. It doesn't matter where as long as it happens. She said there isn't any use for flirting or foreplay. She's a sure thing.

You don't have to act like a snob/Try your moves in the back of a car/Don't you know that we can go far/'Cause tonight you're gonna get my/(kissing sound effect)/Don't play the games that you play/You know that I won't run away/Why're you askin' me to stay/'Cause tonight you're gonna get my/(kissing sound effect)/Kiss kiss.

In the second verse, she says that he can be among her many conquests. She then asks him to be daring and uninhibited. She says her conscience is telling her that she's dirty. Of course, it only turns her on even more. She lays down on his backseat and asks him to climb on top of her. She says the chemistry between them is undeniable. She's feeling very sinful tonight. He can't escape her.

    I like the Greek version of the song. I don't know anything about it, or the name of the guy that sings it, but I like the song. I'm Greek, but I can't understand Greek, but I love the language.
