The Archies Sugar Sugar

It’s been a wonderful week here with you! Thank you so much for being here, for your comments! I wish you have the most wonderful weekend yet, joyful and relaxing and… everything you dreamed of!

This weekend, my daaahlings, I thought a piece of soft bubblegum pop will do the summer trick: The Archies with Sugar Sugar. Back from 1969 hoping to bring you a smile, tons of good vibes and make you groove around the room a bit. What say you? Ready for Sugar Sugar? Enjoy The Archies! (more info right after the jump!)

Can you actually believe I chose this tune today and it was originally released in 1969, the 26th of July? It’s a sign, I’m tellin’ya! So The Archies are, in fact, a fictional group of characters (being the cartoon characters of the Saturday morning cartoon “Archie” – again – Saturday morning cartoon! Coincidence after coincidence. The wonderful magic of simple things coming together). The leading vocals, signed by Ron Dante (you can see him perform below) accompanied by Ellie Greenwich, Andy Kim and Toni Wine (the session musicians, actually) sung a piece written by Andy Kim and Jeff Barry. Internationally acclaimed, the single has spent weeks and weeks at the peak of oh-so-many tops. It was also included in big and small screen movies, mostly animations (the Simpsons, Bee Movie, Shrek).

If this little tune came first on tops before the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and many more, it will surely be a good song for this July! It’s all about love! And summer! Hot summer!

… speaking of which: what can you do to cool off in a hot, hot summer day? Laze around the swimming pool, at the beach, somewhere where the sun doesn’t feel as hurtful as it really is. Look for the shadow, look for something cooler than thou!

Anyways, the hot summer aside (I’ll be whining when the fall comes, I’ll be crying for my beloved hot summer sun! I know that! But a confession is in order – when you plan your pregnancy, ladies, though it may sound tempting and fruitful tasty, like it did to us, pregnancy and hot summer don’t make good home! No-oh! Not unless you’re a mermaid and living in the cool, wavy ocean and get to swim your pregnant body around without feeling the weight!) Yeah. That was my long, twisted way of tellin’ya the Stylefrizz family will add another tiny member this very fall. I’ll be keeping you au courant, without missing any fashion and style pretext of being near you! Until then, my daaahlings, keep close, I’m on a writing spree! Loving you all!
