Exactly three months after the debut release of the single, The WB 's popular teen drama Dawson 's Creek played `` Kiss Me '' as background music in two of its episodes, `` The Dance '' and `` The Perfect Wedding ''. The song was included on the first soundtrack on Songs from Dawson 's Creek, released on April 27, 1999, which made No. 7 on the album charts. In January 1999, Miramax used `` Kiss Me '' as the main theme song of its teen romantic comedy film She 's All That. The film 's box office success helped `` Kiss Me '' to gain widespread mainstream attention and chart success. `` Kiss Me '' climbed to No. 2 on Billboard 's Hot 100 list, and stayed in the Top 10 for 16 straight weeks. In June 1999, BBC Television in the United Kingdom used the song as a closing theme for the BBC One broadcast coverage of Prince Edward 's royal wedding upon the request of the country 's royal family. The song also featured in the film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and was used in the episode `` Simprovised '' of Fox animated series The Simpsons. Music videos Sixpence None the Richer version The original music video, also directed by album / single producer Steve Taylor, pays tribute to French filmmaker François Truffaut and his film Jules et Jim, made in black and white and recreating many of the classic scenes from the film. Two alternate versions of the video were also released later, which featured the band sitting on a park bench, performing and watching scenes from either She 's All That or Dawson 's Creek on a portable television or projected on an outdoor screen. Freddie Prinze Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook appeared in the She 's All That version of the video. The Dawson 's Creek version of the video became VH1 's number - one video for the entire month of May 1999. New Found Glory version New Found Glory 's music video revolves around a large group of teenagers who construct a tree house out of mattresses, and throw a raucous garden party involving pillow fights and kissing, while the members of the band, along with the members of Paramore perform the song around them. While the bands perform, a young man, played by drummer Chase Dodds of the band Classic Addict, sets off on a mission to kiss as many girls as possible during the party, keeping a tally on his inner left forearm in black pen. After narrowly avoiding kissing a man ( whom he mistakes for a girl because of his long hair ), Chase attempts to kiss Paramore 's lead singer, Hayley Williams, only to have her recognize the tally on his arm, and slap him in the face, knocking him to the ground. He is then set upon by all the girls he has kissed at the party, who then proceed to strip him of his shirt, and tie him to a nearby tree with duct tape. One of the girls tapes his mouth shut, before writing `` kiss me '' on his chest in black pen. The girls then rejoin the party, leaving Chase tied to the tree. In this version, to make it more suitable to be sung from a male point of view, the line `` You 'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress '' is changed to `` I 'll wear those shoes and you will wear that dress ''. Pump it up version `` Kiss Me '' as performed by Debbie Scott was featured in the Music and Rhythm Game Pump It Up : Exceed, which included a music video of a young girl and her pet cat.
