KC --
The things you know!
:-)
Yikes, Stripes! That was remarkably horrid and I loved every cheesy minute.
Happy New Years, KC.
Wow.
I had forgotten how crappy a lot of the music of my youth was.
I remember the Bump as a dance usually done to funk music.
I don't remember the Bump and bubble gum.
At least the band played their own instruments.
Yes, gentlemen, that song was especially craptastic, but I've found myself humming it the past few days!

That's one of the curses of bubble gum...
"Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy..."
BTW everyone, I was at a friend's house the other evening and he had this cool book replete with CD. I didn't get much of a chance to examine it carefully, but it looked pretty boss.

Has anyone else heard of this tome?...
Hey Bob,
Mary reviewed it here.
I bought it too, and if I ever get my act together, I will post a review too.
KC,
Thanks for the link. I musta missed that post.
