You are my Candy Girl


Sugar, Sugar by The Archies

I have to classify this one has a sleeper hit. You may not think of it often, but you will find yourself bopping along when it comes on the radio. Bethany uncovered the oddest aspect of this song a couple of years ago when she picked up a chant in the final 30 seconds or so of, “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” Is it possible this is where Def Leppard found their inspiration?

On a side not, I have a mega sweet tooth, but never really find myself interested in wedding cake. I’ve narrowed this down to two reasons. First, I’m a sucker for the homemade cake and the more chocolate the better. Weddings portray the cake as a work of art to be admired and this doesn’t appeal to me unless of course it’s a setup for a Three Stooges short. A discussion on cakes would of course never be complete without a mention of my utter hatred for carrot cake (commence eye rolling, my lovely bride). Second, I’m usually busting my moves on the dance floor by the time dessert comes out and at this point my table lies far away in the rear view mirror.


To close things out have you eve taken a moment to check out the number of Archie comics in your local supermarket? The artist who spends his time drawing the bodies of Betty and Veronica needs some serious psychological help.
