Kev from Rogers, ArI remember this song from 1968.Ralphm from Sebring FlKevin from Oregon: Get off the stuff NOW! NO one hears that or ever has.except you, who obviously partakes.They were girls and guys our age: 18, 19 years old, 20 years old, who were into the music.' (Check out our interview with Floyd Marcus.)

We find that out on the road, when we're out on the road, our fans weren't just little kids coming to see us. But I think it caught on with a lot of older people, too. And that was probably the young teenager that was neglected in the industry with all the music that was coming out. So when 'Simon Says' came out, and 'One, Two, Three Red Light' came out, and 'May I Take A Giant Step' came out, there was a market that we were playing for. I think it was kind of a rebellion, and people wanted a rest from all that.

The Beatles had morphed from this pop group into Sergeant Pepper, It was getting heavier out there. There was Jimi Hendrix, there was The Doors, Zeppelin came on the scene around '69. But looking back in retrospect, we feel that its time had come, because people in that five-year period were kind of tired of all the heaviness of music. When these songs were released, especially 'Simon Says' being the first one in '68, a lot of people didn't take to it, feeling it didn't have a lot of substance. But I think a lot of it was that there was so much serious content in the years of the Vietnam War, and all the rebellion that was going on, all the drug culture that was going on. There was so much social commentary in music back then, there was a lot of sexual innuendo. I guess it partially came as a rebellion against the music.

Floyd Marcus told us: 'There wasn't really a genre at that time. At the time, the term 'Bubblegum Music' didn't exist.
