In the 1960's the American band that paved the way for bubblegum pop was the 1910 Fruitgum Company. Strangely, their serious rock music fizzled while their bubblegum stuff made them stars. In the 60's they scored seven Hot 100 hits, and this song was their biggest.... "Simon Says" climbed all the way to #4 in 1967 and today it's a forgotten oldie.
