1910 FRUITGUM CO.- "SIMON SAYS"

[disneydanny2]

has anyone else noticed that the music played during the verses bears a striking resemblance to "Scooby Doo Where Are You?"

[spahnranch69]

@disneydanny2, you should have said that the Scooby Doo song resembles this song, as "Simon Says" came out a year earlier. But "bubblegum" music was the big thing back then.

[disneydanny2]

@spahnranch69 oh wow i didn't know that this pre-dated Scooby Doo.

[SeattleLA]

great tune, good genre

[staporinac]

I was very young and my sister had these song in a 45 and I loved it. Well my sister passed away about 17 yrs ago and I love to play it, because it reminds me of her.

I was only 10 when this song first came out. I just love this song. Unfortunately, my teacher that year, Mrs. Grotz, passed away one year ago this month. That's right. I was in her class when this song first came out.

[JOLENE2008]

my sister use to have this record!? lol she would play it over and over? i would request it all the time :) i miss those days when you bought a song and it meant something :)

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

I was a tenth grader in 1968 and recall this group doing a good number of tv shows. they had several big hits....they weren't just "one hit wonders."

[MacAggy]

An awesome song is an awesome song which this song is! And this is coming from someone who also likes Led Zeppelin and Metallica.

[tazlynn1958]

@MacAggy You can love any group or song that you want, no one is limited to any one genre. I love bubblegum,pop,rock,glam rock,country,r and b,classical,jazz,gospel, if I like the song that is what counts.

Scooby doobi doo, where are you ♪♫

[gravehunter48]

I got to see them and Ohio Express in concert in the summer 1968 in Waterloo, Iowa. It was a full house and the music was great and made you feel so good. Thats what I always remember is how the music made you feel. Happy and good about yourself no matter how silly it seems today.

[texasguy1961]
