But, probably the best (and worst) example of bubble gum music was:

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy
By: Ohio Express
(Arthur Resnick - Joey Levine)
Lead Singer: Joey Levine
1968

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy
And I feel like a-lovin you
Love, you're such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do

It was sickening. Those of us who aspired to become a cross between the Beat Generation and Summer of Love devotees all the while pleasing our teachers and parents talked badly of anyone who like bubble gum music. It was Top 40 ground into the ground.
