"Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me" is a popular song written by Michael Julien and Al Timothy. It was first recorded by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey and released as a single in 1958 to commercial success (number 3 in the UK Singles Chart). The song was then included on Bassey's album The Bewitching Miss Bassey (1959) and would become one of her most recognisable tunes. It has since been covered by numerous artists.

Bassey re-recorded the song on her 1966 album I've Got a Song for You, and on 1984's I Am What I Am with the London Symphony Orchestra.[1] It was also remixed for the 2007 album Get the Party Started. Bassey has stated that, alongside "Big Spender", "Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me" is a favourite among her own songs.[2]
