"Out of Touch" is a 1984 song by Hall & Oates. The lead single from their 1984 album Big Bam Boom, it was their last Billboard Hot 100 number one, topping the chart for two weeks in December 1984. It became the duo's fourteenth consecutive top 40 hit since 1980.
The song often segued from "Dance on Your Knees" which is the opening song of the album. The music video also contains the "Dance on Your Knees" intro, which segues into an edit of the 12" remix version.
"Out of Touch" was covered by Uniting Nations in 2004. Uniting Nations' version peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 75 for 21 weeks. The vocals on the recording were done by vocalist and session artist Jinian Wilde.
The music video for the song features actors Paul Spicer, Charleene Rena, Hayley-Marie Coppin, Sophie Lovell Anderson and an unnamed woman playing strip poker.
