> Here's one for ya...  before I was in 13 Frightened Girls, I was in an all 
bubblegum cover band!  Yep, no shit.  We were called Dude! (with an 
exclamation mark).  The band was mainly just for fun, and the punk rock kids 
loathed us, but I remember doing all the great bubblegum classics:
"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", "Sugar, Sugar:, "Chewy, Chewy, Chewy", "Little 
Willie, "1, 2, 3 Red Light", "Kicks", "Indian Giver", "Green Tambourine", etc...
In case you're wondering, we took the name Dude! because everybody here says 
dude all the time (thanks to Steve Rager), so it only seemed fitting.  The 
band consisted of myself (guitar), Jim "college radio dj extraordinaire" 
Moran (vocals),  Steve Stepe -ex-Rights Of The Accused-(bass), and Barry 
Stepe-ex-Negative Element, Naked Hippy- (drums).  Looking back, it was 
stupid as hell...  but also alot of fun.  (kinda like bubblegum music itself?)
