Pour a Little Sugar on It—The One-Hit Wonder “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies


It's one-hit wonder day!

It makes me wonder--are the bands only good once? Or do they just get lucky once? Maybe it helps to be a fictional band. (Don Kirschner is credited with assembling the studio musicians, and Ron Dante was featured on vocals.)

“Sugar, Sugar,” available for a free download on Freegal, is a catchy tune, and THE definition of bubbelgum pop.

It was the number one pop song of 1969. Even though the “band”-per se- didn’t exist, their spot on the pop charts did.

Which leaves us with the question: if you like the song, is your enjoyment fictional or real?
