Another bubblegum classic. The 1910 Fruitgum Co. were the most successful Kasenetz-Katz band having hits such as 'Simon Says', 'Indian Giver', 'Goody Goody Gumdrops' and this one, which I first came across as a cover by the Welsh indie-pop band The Pooh Sticks (whose whole career is basically a Guilty Pleasure!). This clip is marvelous - just look at the great tambourine work by 'percussion guy' Bruce (it's all in the wrist, you know...)
Bonus clips: Just because I love this song, here's 'Goody Goody Gumdrops', with more sterling tambourine from Bruce:
... The Pooh Sticks version:
... and my next favourite 'tambourine guy', Tim Kubart from Postmodern Jukebox! Spot him in the background from 0:45 in this video:
Thanks.
