I went to school with the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

They knew exactly what they were writing and had no bones about being deep. I understand the term "bubblegum music" originated with this song.

I recently heard a TV commercial using 'Bend Me, Shape Me' by The American Breed and was amazed. Not a song that's heard frequently.

I enjoyed the music from that time.
