The entire article will take away my “man card” but frankly…..I don’t care. I’m a fan of sticky, ooey, gooey, Bubblegum pop music of the 60’s and 70’s. I was shocked when a friends of mine said “What the heck is that?”.

I have to blame my mother. When I was a kid…I raided her 45’s and she must have been a Marcia Brady wanna be or something. She had lot’s of bubblegum pop

Bubblegum pop is a genre of music that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. It is characterized by catchy melodies, simple lyrics, and upbeat rhythms. The genre was targeted towards teenagers, with the aim of creating music that was easy to dance and sing along to. Bubblegum pop enjoyed immense popularity during its heyday, with many of its songs becoming chart-toppers. In this blog post, we will look at the top 5 bubblegum pop songs of the 60s and 70s.
