I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me
And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

They were bubblegum before we knew they were bubblegum.

I was listening to 60's music on Youtube the other day (I think you oldsters call it a "nostalgia trip"), listening to the music and then looking up the groups on Wikipedia. This song, and the group, "The Cyrkle", had a remarkable amount of musical horsepower behind them, considering the song was indeed "bubblegum" and the band started out as a group of college buddies. The song was written by Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel, and given by him to the group, and the Beatles, including John Lennon and Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, were involved with the group's management and promotion.
I guess the pop music business in the 60s was a pretty small world; many of the groups that had hits in those days were related in some way.
