Yeah, alot of them Bubblegum tunes had alot of innuendo, along with catchy hooks and repetitvie lyrics and themes, and that's what makes them so endearing to me! The very things that many people hate about Bubblegum music is what I LOVE about it!

"and please her till she comes again" - they squeezed that one past the censors.

That was so thoughtful and sweet 💕 💖🥰

Great, trippy animation, loaded with symbolism & wonderful graphics.The "picture frame"motif was used extensively during this period. The Cattanooga Cats was a truly pyschdedelic show, one of only a few to emerge from the US during the late Sixties/early Seventies.

i love those songs

Another cool Bubblegum tune by The Cattanooga Cats! This one could have been released by The 1910 Fruitgum Company with the same effect!

Oh I hope Country mother will let him be with Kitty Jo because they are adorable/perfect couple!!🙏🐱💌

[@brenolunademenezes6863]

Eu tava lendo em algum lugar que o country tem uma irmã gêmea! E sinceramente eu acho que ela aparece nesse clipe!

[@brissadlr9939]

Country is pretty cute

[@drogoscg1]

what's so funny is that those bubble gum songs are as legitimate as the music being played mainstream at the time. Imagine trying to create a kids cartoon in 2012 with relevant pop tunes. What the hell could anyone create for kids nowadays that would also be a legit pop tune?? Chris Rock's brain would fry with this conundrum.

[@cynthiapickett7403]

As a kid at the time these cartoons were on, I frankly don't remember these; the songs were far better than say, the Archie franchise of the same period.

[@MOTOPAC]

Oh I saw that one - the people writing the songs were throwing some curves!

"She's so much more than just a friend!" I should hope so, son! I don't agree with those vulgar 'friends-with-benefits' systems of today's youth.

Knew those two were a couple.

[@nilaiahharris-jones7345]

It's obvious that they were both insanely in love

[@HimeRoseChibiChan]

They’re so cute!
