Best Classic Bands is reporting about a brand new 3-CD set saluting Bubblegum Music, those infectious tunes from the late ‘60’s that became immediate ear worms as they dominated the pop charts near the end of the decade …
And while we can certainly take issue with some of their selections … both several that made the list … as well as several that did not … we can’t deny that this is a pretty good collection of feel-good tunes.

What are YOUR Top Ten Favorite Bubblegum Tunes?
Let us know … and, if we get enough of a response to this question, we’ll run a list of Forgotten Hits favorites in a future issue. (kk)
And, speaking of Ear Worms, Chuck Buell sent us this bit a couple of weeks ago that never ran in FH … but seems oh so appropriate right now!!! (lol)
Hey,
Kids!
And Adults, too!
Remember when “Gummies” were basically a simple, sweet, shiny, soft, chewy, stick-in-your-teeth gelatin candy?! Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, Gummy Fish and other unique Gummi shapes?!
Well, believe it or not, July 15th was “National Gummi Worm Day!”
( Hey, I don’t make this stuff up! )
It’s interesting how far Gummies have come.
Today, aside from being a Candy Treat, Gummies are now also used to be a “Medicinal Delivery System” for Vitamins, Supplements, Minerals or as a Sleep Aid, Immune Support or even to deliver various types of CBD!
The most well-known Gummi is, perhaps, The Worm! Which brings to mind, I’ve opened a can of worms on more than one occasion. What’s the Big Deal with that? They basically just lay there wiggling a bit but they’re hardly the chaos we’ve all been warned about!
Anyway, now this closing thought about Worms.
Do you know what song is often credited with being the most common “Ear Worm?”
My :40 edited version of that 60-year old song is attached!
C'mon! Let's all sing along together!
CB ( which stands for "Choir Boy!" )
