"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 | |||
