Those are examples of what was called "bubblegum pop" in the day. Cross-reference: "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and the artist (?) known as Tommy Roe, who apparently wanted to name himself after fish eggs.
I don't miss it.
I remember when that song came out. Fogelberg was huge then. It's a beautiful song.
A really good lyricist who died too young. "Leader of the Band" gets me every time, and he's got a truckload of other singable tunes.
.. but they sure are cheesy! My husband LOVES these songs/groups... also the Monkees... ugh!!!
..."Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" was by the Mansfield, Ohio based band....The Ohio Express....they were and are friends of mine....good buncha dudes...
A true test to one's attention span...
I used to crack Grandma up because we'd be listening, and somewhere in the song, I'd blurt out, "But I'm not bitter!"
Well, there were Monkees songs I liked too. "Last Train to Clarksville" was probably my favorite (and creepily spot on to a story in the family, for some other time). And their "Believer" songs were fine ("I'm a" and "Daydream").
Good to know! I'm always glad to hear of good personalities in the entertainment biz.
But it's still an awful song.
Actually one of my faves, and not because I was a DJ who had to go number two and this and "Stairway to Heaven" were the fallbacks. I really like the work in the instrumental, down to the avant-garde stuff, and of course, that drum riff is iconic.
okay I don't even like a lot of these songs but now I'm on the "cheesy music" train....
A destroyer of one's attention span.
if you even had much of one to being with...
Always liked these two tunes...

Steal Away is a good one! I love that song!
like that Beatles song.. where the last note goes on and on and on.... not immediately coming to mind (but I'm sure you'll know...)
