Chewy Chewy
"Chewy Chewy" is a song by American band Ohio Express. Released in September 1968, it was written and produced by Joey Levine and Kris Resnick. Background and composition The 2-minute-38-second song is in the key of C major, changing later in the song to C sharp / D flat major, with a tempo of 121 beats per minute. The song makes countless references to candy and sugar, and the narrator compares these two nourishments to the recipient, at some point calling her a "living box of candy wrapped up so very fine" with a "mouthful of such sweet things to say." Most of the song's remaining lyrics are nonsense. The song is among Ohio Express' three signature songs, as well as one of bubblegum music's most notable staples. Chart performance and reception ''Billboard'' called it an "infectious, happy rhythm novelty in the vein of 'Yummy Yummy Yummy'", ''Cashbox'' called it a "slightly slower tongue-in-cheek rock offering that keeps in line with their bubblegum policy," and ''Reco ...

Ohio Express
The Ohio Express is an American bubblegum pop band formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1967. Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name "Ohio Express" served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz's and Jeffry Katz's Super K Productions to release the music of a number of different musicians and acts. The best known songs of Ohio Express (including their best scoring single, " Yummy Yummy Yummy") were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working in New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine. Other recorded "Ohio Express" work included material recorded by an early group of Joe Walsh, as well as a later single written and sung by Graham Gouldman (which was performed by the four musicians who would later be known as 10cc). A band previously known as Sir Timothy and the Royals was renamed "The Ohio Express" and hired to promote the singles by appearing at all live performances. This is the same group photographed on the record c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
