| Ohio Express | Chewy Chewy | Chewy, chewy, chewy ... Always got a mouthful of such sweet things to say. | Another Bubblegum classic from Ohio Express from spring 1969. - Peter | |||
| Ohio Express | Yummy Yummy Yummy | Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy, And I feel like a-lovin' you: Love, you're such a sweet thing, Good enough to eat thing And that's just | The rest of the opening line: "... a-what I'm gonna do." "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and Ohio Express, along with 1910 Fruitgum Company and the Archies, was another one of the late 1960's most profilic pop groups in the subgenre of pop/rock known as Bubblegum music that appealed mainly to the 10 to 14 years old that were just starting to buy records and music in droves at the time. "Yummy Yummy Yummy" was a Fall 1968 top five hit for Ohio Express. But if you look closely at the lyrics it's unclear whether 10 to 14 years old at the time knew that Ohio Express was clearly singing about the sexual acts of fellatio and cunnilingus? - Peter | |||
| Oliver | Good Morning Starshine | Good morning starshine, The earth says hello. | "Good Morning Starshine" is another song from the musical, "Hair". It was sung in the original 1968 - 1972 Broadway production by the character of Sheila played by Lynn Kellogg. The one-hit wonder group, Oliver, would record it and take it to #2 in the pop charts in 1969. "Good Morning Starshine" was one of five songs from "Hair" that would get a reworking by popular artists of the time and hit the charts in 1969. Besides "Good Morning Starshine", there was the Fifth Dimension's #1 smash (for six weeks in 1969) of the "Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In the Flesh Failures", the family group the Cowsills' #3 hit of the title song, "Hair" and Three Dog Night's #3 hit of the song, "Easy To Be Hard". - Peter | |||
| Olivia Newton-John | If Not For You | If not for you Babe, I couldn't even find the door. | "If Not For You" was Australian Olivia Newton-John's first internationally successful song back in 1971.

| Ozark Mountain Daredevils | Jackie Blue | Ooh-hoo, Jackie Blue, lives her life from inside of a room. | "Jackie Blue" was Ozark Mountain Daredevils' highest charting tune going Top Five in the Spring of 1975 (also probably the most recognizable from the five man country-rock group from Missouri that is still together and performing). The memorable opening line comes after a great guitar solo introduction. "Jackie Blue" was written by members, Larry Lee and Steve Cash with Cash on vocals. Other members of the group are: John Dillon, Randle Chowning and Buddy Brayfield. "Jackie Blue" was from Ozark Mountain Daredevils' second lp, "It'll Shine When It Shines". - Peter |
