10 Best Songs for Video Display Kiss Cams

In the 1980s, the kiss cam was a sensation that swept through professional baseball stadiums. It was a light-hearted diversion during TV timeouts, and an unexpected way to take advantage of video displays. Decades later, the kiss cam has become an indoor and outdoor sports tradition.
