Anyone know this song? (Sticky worthy?)

I don't know if it's just me, but I sometimes here a song and only know a few lyrics and nothing else and I search wildly for it and sometimes never find it....I might even forget about it. And sometimes you know the song but not the artist who sang it? I was thinking we should have a sticky thread just based on people asking for songs that they are unsure about. Orgers helping orgers. If that's a dumb idea, let it die but let's see if it catches on. So here is my question....

I know the name of the song. It's "Kissing Game (I Like the Way)" but my question is who sang it originally?

The group was Hi-Five.


As for my story, I was never a huge Steely Dan fan. I knew a few songs here and there. But there was one song which I could never knew the name of that I would always hear on oldies rock stations and that shit was my jam. ... I would hum this part that stuck out in my head and try to make people know what I was talking about... "Dum, da dum dum, the live wire", ... I'd heard some solo stuff by Donald Fagen so I assumed that this song had to be titled 'Nightfly'. Nightfly... live wire... Fuck it. It rhymes... it's gotta be the same song. shrug But to no avail.

Well some time after high school when I tried to "discover" other music besides Prince and the current R&B, I came across Steely Dan's Aja and the very last track comes on.

D'oh!

Josie is my "My God, Does Anybody Know This Song and can You Tell Me Who It Is?" song.

"The Kissing Game" was something that just came off the top of my head. Now a song that I was searching for years to find....a very obscure dance pop song called "Jealousy" by Kim Sanders that used to play on 93.1 when they were a dance station. I found a cheap copy of the single. It was a good song but not worthy killing myself over.
