You Don't Want To Kiss Me Tonight is the placeholder name for an unidentified ska punk song, originally recorded on cassette from San Diego based radio station, The Flash 92.5, in 1997 and first posted online to Reddit in 2018.
The song was first posted to the r/Ska subreddit on 25 February 2018 by a now deleted user, assumed to be an alt of u/teenage_bottlerocket. Due to their account being deleted, the post is blank.
On 22 March 2018, OP posted the song to r/sandiego under the username teenage_bottlerocket. They clarified that it was recorded in 1997 from San Diego radio station The Flash 92.5, and said it was most likely from a local band. They also posted the song to the r/tipofmytongue subreddit using a vocaroo link, adding that they used to record songs from The Flash in the late 1990s, and that this particular song was from a show called "Ska Tunes". OP also claimed that they had contacted the DJ from the show, who confirmed that they did not know the song. OP later clarified that the DJ was called "Little John" and did recognise the song, but could not recall the details, except to say that it was most likely a local band to the San Diego area.
On 12 November 2023, OP uploaded the song to YouTube under the username Gabadilla.
On 28 April 2025, OP uploaded a higher quality and slightly longer version of the song to their YouTube channel. This upload contained a list of ruled-out local bands in the description.

Her lips would move me in a beautiful way
I look forward to kissing them every day
She ran for a tissue like she’s running a race
I thought about it as she wiped off her face
She tried to kiss me and I knew it was wrong
She started sneezing, I could tell it was strong
I acted like I wasn’t feeling alright
Then she leaned over and I said 'You don’t want to kiss me tonight'
You don’t want to kiss me tonight
You don’t want to kiss me tonight
You don’t want to kiss me tonight
You don’t want to kiss me tonight
So we went out to get her dinner of choice
I loved to listen to her beautiful voice
I went for breath mints, oops, I had my last one
I held my nose until the eating was done
She always kept her skin so smooth and so clean
There were blemishes that I’ve ever seen
She wiped her nostril and then, what did I see?
A big green monster staring right back at me
She tried to kiss me and I knew it was wrong
I tried to ignore it but its presence was strong
I acted like I wasn’t feeling alright
Then she leaned over and I said 'You don’t want to kiss me tonight'
