“Hall also confirmed that Eddie credited the keyboard riff from Hall & Oates’ No. 1 single “Kiss on My List” with inspiring his band’s biggest hit. “That’s what he always told me, he said that inspired ‘Jump’.””
I find stories like this interesting. I can relate. Some songs can inspire creation of a song. Sometimes in creating a song I have felt I lifted it from another one but then someone else will listen to the two songs and say they are nothing alike.
Same here. I see nothing in “Your Kiss” that sounds anything like Jump yet I believe the story. That is how the creative process can work.
I recently saw them saying exactly that.
Michael Jackson approached them one day and apologized for lifting one of their songs as inspiration to use for Billie Jean(?).
Neither one of them could figure out what the connection was between their song and what Michael wound up with.
