This week’s theme is “sugar/candy.”
I went totally old school… and revisited my childhood with “Sugar, Sugar” from The Archies! Betcha can’t dance like Betty and Veronica! 😀
“Sugar, Sugar”
by The Archies
Written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim
#1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 August 1969

Sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you’ve got me wanting you
Honey, ah, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can’t believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can’t believe it’s true)
I just can’t believe the wonder of this feeling, too
(I just can’t believe it’s true)
Sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you’ve got me wanting you
Oh, honey, ah, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss could be)
Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)
Pour a little sugar on it, honey
Pour a little sugar on it, baby
(I’m gonna make your life so sweet) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pour a little sugar on it, yeah
Pour a little sugar on it, honey
Pour a little sugar on it, baby
(I’m gonna make your life so sweet) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pour a little sugar on it, yeah
Sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you’ve got me wanting you
Ohohohoho (Honey, honey, sugar, sugar)
Sugar, sugar (Honey, honey, sugar, sugar)
You are my candy girl (Para, papara)
(Paraparara)
Help. PTSD. I remember this cartoon from when I was a kid and this song was relentlessly played over and over again on pop radio. Yikes.

It made 1969 kind of painful.

I’ve always liked this song, and it was the first one I thought of. I went with another one, but am glad you did post it! 😉

Of course, a total classic. I’m not sure if you’ve heard it but a group called Semisonic did a cover of the song for the album Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits that’s also great. 😉
