*First line is the band name. 1968. Unforgettable band name. They started out in New Jersey. They got their name when a band member was trying on a jacket in a used-clothing store and found a gum wrapper in a pocket. Not surprisingly, their music is considered bubblegum pop. This song sold over a half million and charted at #4. It's named after a common kid's game and sounds unmistakably like playing the game.
