I have an inordinate love of all things Bubblegum Pop and will be posting more in the future, though this one is less twee than most. Not sure who the longhairs in the video are as by the time this 1969 single was released The Ohio Express was, like a number of other Super K bands, just a front for various session musicians. In fact, this is actually 10cc 3 years before they were 10cc!
Bonus Clips: Other songs written and performed by future 10cc members for various Super K bands include 'There Ain't No Umbopo' released under the name Crazy Elephant in 1970.
... which was also re-recorded by Hotlegs and released under the name Doctor Father.
... and 'Susan's Tuba' by Freddie and the Dreamers (yes, them of 'I'm Telling You Now'). Not sure if this is Freddie Garrity or Graham Gouldman on lead vocals...
