WRONG FLAVOR

The 1910 Fruitgum Company did not record “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (I Got Love in My Tummy)” (Pop Eye, Dec. 21). That bubblegum Top 10 hit from the early ‘70s was, however, recorded by the Ohio Express.

As a touring member of the Fruitgum Co. in 1971, it has long been a source of annoyance to be mistakenly held responsible for putting to wax such a trite, disposable, insignificant number when, in fact, the group was responsible for such historical, important compositions as “Simon Says,” “Indian Giver,” “1, 2, 3, Red Light” and other esoteric hits filled with dark symbolism and hidden meanings.
