"Popsicles and Icicles"
Billed as the Murmaids,[1] the Fischer sisters and Sally Gordon recorded five tracks for Fowley: "Popsicles and Icicles" (written by David Gates, the future founder and front man of the band Bread), and four other tracks - "Blue Dress", "Bunny Stomp", "Comedy and Tragedy", and "Huntington Flats" - each of which served as B-side for one of "Popsicles and Icicles"' pressings. According to lead vocalist Terry Fischer the Murmaids completed the tracks for an album release "a couple of weeks after we recorded the single." [2] The vocal arrangements for the Murmaids sessions were by Skip Battin.

"Popsicles and Icicles" began receiving airplay in Los Angeles in October of 1963, breaking nationally in November to reached its #3 peak in Billboard and Cash Box on their charts dated 11 January 1964.[3] The Record World chart ranked "Popsicles and Icicles" at #1 for the week of 18 January; as Record World's next #1 was "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles, "Popsicles and Icicles" is sometimes cited as the last #1 of the pre-British Invasion rock and roll genre.

In the UK "Popsicles and Icicles" was released on Stateside Records - with "Comedy and Tragedy" as the B-side. The tune did not chart, however, possibly due to the Brits' unfamiliarity with the term Popsicles, which in Britain are called "ice lollies".
