“Yummy Yummy Yummy” #4 6/15/1968

Okay, bubblegum music was never about deep or insightful lyrics, but this might be one of the five silliest songs ever made. I’m sure Joey Levine, vocalist with the Ohio Express and the song’s co-writer, lost a lot of sleep over that, too. Riiiiight. Joey submitted the demo to producers Kasenetz and Katz, who went ahead and released it pretty much as is. The group was basically Levine and anonymous studio musicians, and was totally different from the Ohio Express band that had a Top 40 hit with “Beg, Borrow And Steal,” which was also unrelated to the road band using that name.
