Believe it or not the band The Archies started as a cartoon. It was based on the Archie comic book which was big back in the day.The song became a hit so the people who performed the song for the cartoon became The Archies
I was a child when the cartoon came out and watched on weekends along with The Monkeys.
@@stevenwoodward5923 For some period of time I think The Monkees TV show was actually on regular prime time TV for 2 years. It was a pretty funny show kind of modeled after the early Beatles movies like Help
The Archies were never anything but a cartoon band that also released records. They never performed live, or broke the fourth wall unless you count this video with Ron Dante.
Archie wich some younger folks might recognize as the Riverdale characters in their modern dark iteration.
I loved that cartoon
That is actually my friend, Ron Dante. He WAS The Archies. That's what they did back in the 70s to promote "groups" that were actually one person.
I know his work with Barry Manilow. Real genius.
He’s very cool and talented !
LOVE Ron Dante!
Was he also the lead singer of the cufflinks, who made the song Tracy?
I grew up across the street from him on Staten Island.
I got my first copy of this great song on the back of a box of Honeycomb cereal. You cut it out, flatten it out, and put it on your record-player. Hated the cereal but they had the BEST prizes.
YES!! So did I! I thought it was the coolest thing!
Me too ❤
Me too
Yes, I still have it! I also have the cut-out record of Bobby Sherman's hit "In Seattle". He was a teen idol in the 60's and was in a TV series called "Here Come the Brides".
Miss those days.
OMG. I was a kid when "The Archies" was on TV. This song actually hit #1 on America Bandstand. It was huge. I think it was one of the cut-out records we got on the back of Honeycombs.
I had that cut out 45. :)
@@shuteme5me too!
Honeycombs got, a big big taste, big big taste, and a big big bite. Hey, let's all meet at the "honeycomb hideout" !!. Yep, also had the cutout record...
Believe it or not, this song beat out the Beatles, Elvis, Jackson Five, Rolling Stones, and the Monkees for number one of the year.
A Record of this Song was on the back of a Cereal Box, Sugar Crisp, I had it when I was may 9 or 10, Great Memories 🥰
Wasn't that awesome? I wish I still had mine!!
@@elisebarthalow6075 Me to 🙂
I remember that! Thanks for reminding me! Something makes me think it was a golden colour??
Wow there's a flashback.
Omg I remember that record! And it played like crap!!!haha
This was recently used in an Applebee's commercial, and it was also in "Bee Movie" from 2007. I think it was also in other commercials as I was growing up.
The only commercial I can remember using this song was for an oldies radio station. It had various people from different walks of life lip syncing to the oldies. I remember the guy lip syncing "Sugar Sugar" was a fishmonger and he was using a fish to play air guitar.
This was the number 1 song hit of 1969! It beat out the Beatles! It was more popular than the Rolling Stones! It outranked the Fifth Dimension's biggest hit, Aquarius! One of the most popular one hit wonder songs in music history, amazing! ;-)
This was the first record I ever bought in 1969! I played it over and over and over! Absolutely loved it and still do.
This is so old! From 1969 and still so catchy. It’s from The Archies cartoon series with Archie, Betty and Veronica and Jughead that I would religiously watch every Saturday morning. And buy the comic books. It still makes me smile 😊.
Hey watch it little one. 😆😆😆
number 1 song in 1970
you forget Reggie! 😁
@@KAS6558 how could I forget him? And Moose 🤓
I watched the series in Netflix, it was good
Thanks for bringing back a childhood memory. The Archie’s were one of my favorite cartoons and I use to collect the comics as well. I actually had this and a couple of early Jackson 5 singles that were printed on cardboard and they were on the back of cereal boxes like Alpha Bits and Sugar Smacks! I only wish I had known to keep them, they are no doubt collectors items and worth $$.
I doubt it since so many were made, but I still have a couple of them, guess I'll look into it.
I remembered being so excited to cut that record off the cereal box and playing it on my little potyable record player.
I can taste the Sugar Smacks just listening to this!! What a fun memory!
@@MHume63 I like the Alfa Bits and Archies comics. I still see little Archies comics books (like Reader's Digest size) in the grocery store from time to time. I have no idea how this generation has screwed up this innocent comic book!

When Claire from “The Breakfast Club” is the mom, you know we’re doomed.
"Sugar Sugar" was one of the biggest hits of the summer of 1969, staying at Billboard #1 for an entire month. They used to call this style bubblegum pop, now more often known as sunshine pop. Another terrific sunny tune from the summer of '69 is "More Today Than Yesterday" by the Spiral Staircase, a positive, upbeat song with lots of horns.
Bubblegum Pop and Sunshine Pop are two different kinds of genres, technically speaking but there are often Bubblegum Pop in Sunshine Pop and Sunshine Pop in Bubblegum Pop so these genres are certainly related. I'm a massive 60s pop fan, bring born in 1980 my father introduced me to the great music of the 60s when I was 11 or 12. In fact Bubblegum Pop AND Sunshine Pop are two of my absolute favourite sub genres of the 60s. You also have Soft Pop( basically Sunshine Pop) and Baroque Pop and these kind of styles ruled the charts in the mid to late 60s!
I always thought bubblegum pop followed a more formulaic style that this doesn't really sound like. More of a doo-bop sound.
It was the #1 song of the entire year in 1969
You're right, I bought the 45rpm that year of 1969! Rock on Ron Dante!
RIP Pat Upton lead singer of Spiral Staircase.
No swearing...No Cusswords..no nudity... When singing was simple n pure..miss those days
I remember hearing this when I was growing up in the 60'/70's and still love it to this day ❤️😍❤️ such a happy song! 👍🇬🇧
This is what you call “bubble gum” music from the 60s (that’s the unusual keyboard sound you’re hearing). This song was from the Saturday morning cartoon show “The Archies”. Now, you can watch the live action Archie cast in the current hit show “Riverdale”. This song was used often in commercials, that’s why it has a familiarity to it.
The BEST MUSIC EVER was “ BUBBLE GUM MUSIC “ ! Ugh… IT HURTS MY HEART THAT THEY DONT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THEY USED TO!! 🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜✨💫✨
1910 Fruitgum Company
Actually, the Archies had been around since the 40s as comic book characters. In 1967 or 1968 when The Monkees fired Don Kirshner, Mr. Kirshner decided he would develop a band that could not fire him! So he worked up a deal and created a cartoon that would feature a Saturday Morning cartoon band. The Archies featuring Ron Dante, Jeff Barry, Toni Wine, and other assorted Brill Building writers, including Canadian singer Andy Kim, and recorded several albums and released several singles in the late 60s and early 70s.
The first single was "Bang Shang-A-Lang", and this was the second that shot to #1 a year later and became the #1 single of 1969. A few months later they released a third single "Jingle Jangle" which also made the top 20 in the U.S..
Producer Jeff Barry and Ron Dante sped up the tapes to make them sound like teenagers, as the comic/cartoon Archies were. But, on the third single, Toni Wine was no longer part of the band and the female parts were sang by Ron Dante himself by speeding up the vocal. He did this by slowing the tape down while singing two lines.
I think that, had it not been a front of a cartoon, The Archies would have been taken more seriously from the rock snobs.
The Archies released five studio albums and a greatest hits album on the RCA-distributed Kirshner label. They were "The Archies",(1968) "Everything's Archie"(1969), Jingle Jangle"(1969), "Sunshine"(1970), and "This Is Love"(1971). When the label was sold to CBS in the 70s, CBS resurrected the label and the progressive rock band Kansas was their only artist on the roster until 1983.
Here's a little tidbit: in 1969, Ron Dante released a single under the name of The Cuff Links called "Tracy". It sounds exactly like The Archies.
Actually the back up singers were a band called PLAYHOUSE featuring Joey DiBenedetto and Steve Tudanger from the 4evers from Brooklyn,,they had a small hit in 64 ,,, Be my girl
Andy Kim Rock Me Gently yeah I love that song.
@@tonybugs135 Do you have a source for this info?
@@platterjockey well actually Joey's wife was also in Playhouse,,, unfortunately Joey past away last year and she's around,,, so the original 4evers are all gone which Joey and Tuddy was in and were in Playhouse , and were also on Andy Kim's albums and his hit Baby I love you , Joey was all over that record also , back to Margherita Joey's wife ,,, I think she's still in Brooklyn,,,,, and I remember he collected royalties from Sugar Sugar ,,,,, very little ,, that was along time ago,,,, and I'm sure she knows a lot more then me
Saw a documentary about the monkees and they brought up the Archie's, theat documentary was crazy!
'Sugar, Sugar' was written by Andy Kim. It does contain a lot of instruments but "The Archies" were a makeshift band that had to be put together because, since the song was originally made for the cartoon "The Archies", and it was an unexpectedly huge success, the public was demanding a performance by the group in the cartoon (The Archies), which wasn't real! So The makeshift "Archies" were born.
The cartoon has, in recent years, been brought back to life by the show Riverdale, which was the name of the school that the cartoon characters went to.
They were also the Cuff Links
@@pc166829
Oh, wow! Didn't know that one! 👍
Oh, I wish Jay and Amber would react to Andy Kim's Rock Me Gently!

Ok, I found an interview with the session singer who made Sugar, Sugar famous - His name is Ron Dante.

The Monkees actually passed on the opportunity to record “Sugar, Sugar,” which became a huge hit for The Archies. Subsequently, The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz recorded a solo version of the song.
This is considered to be an urban myth ( though it came from Don himself , some years later , the monkees were not around at the time to have the offer made as the song had not been written at the time of the contract dispute Don was referencing)
@@highpath4776 .... The song Kirshner brought to the Monkees that they rejected was called Sugar Man. th-cam.com/video/0kdDRCxmF6Q/w-d-xo.html As you said Sugar Sugar had not even been written yet. It was done specifically for the Archies project. Don Kirshner liked the Archies because they were only studio musicians so didn't argue with him like the Monkees did!
Don Kirshner, the man behind The Monkees, was fired from that television show so he created The Archies "band" and kept on making music. He could control the cartoons better than living actors. He's also the genius behind one of my favorite bands, Kansas. Talented man.
Don first offered this song to The Monkees, but even they thought this song was way too "bubblegum" for them.
This style of music is called "Bubblegum Pop" and it ruled the airwaves from the late 1960's through the early 1970's. This a classic example of the style.
YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!! LOVE!!! 🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜
The best bubblegum song of all time!
Can we mention how adorable Ron Dante is? And all 3 in the video ARE Ron Dante......
Me encanta él, es muy guapo ❤
13 Years old in 1969, in love with my next door neighbor girlfriend we played this song over and over and all our friends over for parties and dancing. makes me laugh now
I was 10 in 1969 and I'm into Blues, Soul, Rock and Hard Rock but I like songs like this to. 1969 the year my Favorite Cartoon Dog had his 1st Show, Scooby-Doo. I still watch Scooby-Doo from my collection of DVDs 😂.
It's funny that this song came up. I just came across my baby book the other day. My mother meticulously recorded everything about my childhood and when I was four back in 1969, she noted that "Sugar, Sugar" was my favorite song. My mother passed last August, so thank you for inadvertently providing me with a very happy memory today.
Wow, Kelly, I just posted a similar story a few minutes ago (scroll up)! This wasn't part of my post, but my mother passed last June. This song is such a fond childhood memory for me too - we could be soul sisters 😊
@@jerickson725 We could be! Condolences about your Mom. Hang in there.
@lucky leprechaun I'm so sorry about your mother. I have two relatives and a dear friend dealing with Alzheimer's/dementia right now and from my conversations with their children, I know how difficult it is. I was my mother's caregiver for four years, but I didn't have Alzheimer's to deal with. Take good care of yourself.
@@kellyreiterman Condolences to you too. My mother was 97, almost 98 (40 when I was born). She lived a great life. Did you read my comment?
@@jerickson725 I did read your comment. Very cute! 97 is fantastic. My mother made it to 88. My Dad died young at 56.
Archie on guitar, Reggie on the bass, Jughead on the drums, Veronica on the piano and Betty on the tambourine, with Hot Dog dancing off on the side. Josie and the Pussycats was a riff on the Archies with very similar type characters.
I remember when you could buy Sugar Smacks cereal and the song was made on the box! You had to cut it off of the box, and play it on a 45 RPM Phonograph. Sigh...kids just ask an old person...lol
Good times

Ron Dante - lead vocals
Toni Wine - backing vocals, handclaps
Andy Kim - backing vocals, handclaps
Ray Stevens - handclaps
Ron Frangipane - keyboards

Uses in media and pop culture
The song was featured in The Wonder Years episode "Double Double Date",[60] and was later used in a fantasy sequence in The Simpsons episode "Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood".
"Sugar, Sugar" has also been featured in several films, such as Now and Then (1995),[62] A Very Brady Sequel (1996),[63] The Sandlot 2 (2005), The Magic Roundabout (2005), Bee Movie (2007) and The Campaign (2012).
The song appears in a 2020 TV commercial for Applebee's. Similarly, the song Sugar, Sugar also appeared in the 2011 TV advertisement of Gulaku (lit. "My Sugar"), an Indonesian sugar brand; before 2011 Gulaku has used that song in their advertisements from 2006.
The song was covered by Josie and the Pussycats in the Riverdale episode "Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil".
To bring the Archie's to the 21st century, the cast of the TV show "Riverdale" is based on the characters from the Archie's! Archie, Betty , Veronica, Reggie and Jughead
And Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
And Dilton Doily.
Always had a crush on betty.lol no really.
And on Riverdale Josie and the Pussycats sang a modified version of Sugar, Sugar and Archie’s band didn’t really come into being until the second or third season
It started out with good stories, but got stupid towards the ending
Loved the comics and the cartoons, The Archies. I did not know they created an actual singing group after the song became a hit. In the comics, The Archies sang as a group and was made up of high school students: Archie, Reggie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead. Check out their song Jingle Jangle from the cartoon show.
I was in the 7th grade when this song came out; such a simple and innocent time. Then came the greatest decade in rock music.
This is Ron Dante. He did all of the voices. It was used in the "Archie" cartoon Saturday morning show. It was written by Andy Kim, (who sang several pop songs in the 70's. Probably his most famous was "Rock Me Gently". He did over-dubbed the recording. Recorded the melody, then the harmonies, etc. The piano was obviously used, but not shown.
A lot of TV shows in the late 60's and early 70's had bands with songs made for them. One of the best was I Think I Love You by The Partridge Family.
A lot of the cartoons back from that era featured music within the episodes. I remember Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Speed-buggy all usually had a requisite "chase scene" that featured a pop song.
I think I woke up in love this morning is an actual banger lol
@@loadedorygun YES!!!
The Archies were a fictional American band that features in media produced by ,and related to Archie Comics, are best remembered for their appearance on the animated TV series " THE ARCHIE SHOW" 1968-1973. Sang by Ron Dante ,singer songwriter, session vocalist and producer. Hey, Rob Squard you're listening and watching Dante during all the parts.
yeah, can't believe they haven't figured that out.....
There were two female singers hired to do the songs for the show, one of them quit after recording Sugar, Sugar when she found out that the show was animated and she would not actually appear on TV.
They actually started as a cartoon then they had music band. Sugar Sugar by the Archies in 1968; I was actually a little kid in the early 1970s.
Number 1 hit of 1969. I skated to the top 100 countdown on New Year's Eve in the hallway of our apartment building with my sister Kim. I was 10 and she was 9. I still have my 45 record. LOVE this song! Ron Dante has such an awesome voice.
This was the record of the year for 1969 and spent 4 weeks at number one.This is from the Don Kirshner hit factory who was involved with The Monkees as well as The Archies and a lot of big songwriters and producers worked with him to provide the music for these shows. This one featured the involvement of Jeff Barry who had worked with Phil Spector as co-writer on a lot of the Spector hits, produced some early Neil Diamond hits, produced hits for The Monkees, wrote the themes for The Jeffersons, One Day At A Time, Family Ties. The guy has had a LOT of hits.
A point of trivia - almost every kid in the U.S. got a 45 rpm copy of this record on the back of a box of Super Sugar Crisp cereal when it came out.. :). It was printed on a thin layer of plastic stuck on the back of the cereal box. It was usually warped so the sound wasn't great but every kid knew this song.
Hey forgot about that !haha !
I thought it was Honeycomb cereal but its been a loooooooong time ago so my memory is not so good. Lol, yup we got that 45 too
@@sylviaquintana8570 Now if I had only kept the original record on the box - I bet it would be a collector's item now... lol.
@@sylviaquintana8570 There were 4 songs released that way on various brands of Post Cereals.
I remember getting that! My mom wouldn’t let us go play it until we finished breakfast!
I think you remember it from Apollo 13. Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty and Veronica were the cartoon characters. The style was called "bubblegum".
I find it so cute that I've seen a lot of young dancers use this song on their short videos for their choreography.
When I was a little kid, we're talking 50+ years ago, I was literally, a laminated card carrying member of the Archie fan club. I also had a small metal pin with Archie's head on it. I loved the comics, I guess I had outgrown it before the TV show, because I don't remember it. I do however remember this song, and it's a pure hit of nostalgia and joy! Thanks for the happiness boost, J and Amber!
That's so cool!! I loved Archie comics when I was a kid too, only it was in the mid 90s. I bought a new one at the grocery store every week.
@@elliekahl5305 Yes! Walking down to the neighbourhood store with my best friend, and getting my Archie comic and my candy, with my allowance for the week, is a great memory.
This was a one hit wonder. I always think of The Archies as Herman's Hermits light. Herman's Hermits had many hits including: "I'm Into Something Good", and "Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter".
They really need to react to them!
This largely fictional 'group' of studio musicians actually recorded 6 albums and charted with 7 singles in the USA (even more overseas). Not exactly a group but also not a one-hit-wonder if you include top-ten songs as hits.
@@angelajakem366 I agree! I think Amber would especially like "Mrs Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter".
Herman's Hermits was my first concert. I was in 8th grade. I think they would like Henry the Eighth.
@Raynor Bear's Cave Bang-Shang-A-Lang was their first hit, in 68, and was featured in the first episode.
I was 9 yrs old when this came out and still A FUN CLASSIC!
This song is still very popular today. Will always be a hit.
Archie was a long running comic book featuring Archie and his family along with Betty, Veronica and Jughead. When the comic moved to an animated Saturday morning cartoon they needed a theme song and this is it.
Sung by the characters who had a band called the Archies.
Archie Comics are still in business. They have done some wild stuff in the past few years and there's even a live-action TV show called "Riverdale" based upon Archie.
The Archies are so iconic as far as Americana goes. Seinfeld even references them in a scene in one of the episodes.😆 See here (8 second clip): th-cam.com/video/94Mp3ZZtGTs/w-d-xo.html
@@magnificentfailure2390 they also had a radio show in the 1940s based on the comics called Archie Andrews.
Not quite. This is what they became known for, beyond comic bookdom, but the theme song to the Archie animated series is "Everything's Archie" (can be found on TH-cam). My older sister & I would spend hours every Saturday on her top bunk playing the board game "Sorry!", & singing the Archie song (over & over). We lived in cow country & had to make our own fun. ;-)
A good old one-hit wonder(not quite)! Pure bubblegum pop! The Archie Show (also known as The Archies) was an American musical animated sitcom television series. I believe thats Ron Dante on lead vocals, Toni Wine backing vocals.
surlechapeau,
Not quite a one hit wonder. The Archies' Jingle Jangle went to #10 on the Hot 100 in 1969.
Fun facts: Sugar Sugar spent 4 weeks at #1 and was Billboard's #1 song of 1969. It also was the first #1 song by a group that did not technically exist since they were studio singers and musicians (not counting the Chipmunks, whose creator Ross Bagdhesarian (David Seville) had a #1 hit in 1958 with The Chipmunk Song).
@@dougclark7077 thanks, for my fading memory- its a one hit wonder! LOL
@@dougclark7077 Don't forget Bang Shang a Lang!
@@karladoesstuff Yes, Bang Shang a Lang was the Archies' first single and went to #22 in 1968. They had one more Top 40 single -- Who's Your Baby, which went to #40 in 1970.
Believe it or not the studio musicians known as the Archies had 5 Top 40 hits. "Jingle Jangle" and "Bang-Shang-a-Lang" are two others. This is the only one that the radio ever plays though.
60-90 is the best era for music.
The two women- the blond is Betty and the dark-haired girl is Veronica. The Archies were a comic and also a cartoon show. These songs (they had other hits) were first played on TV and were so popular that they then released them on radio stations and then sold the 45's. I have several 45's by the Archies and a cassette tape of their Greatest Hits. i listen to them sometimes.
My God guys memories from my childhood i used to dance to this when I was four years old and also an other song by a Singer by the name of Sam the sham and the song is Wooly bully you guys must check it out great job!!!
YES!! WOOLY BULLY!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
They also did did Hey There Little Miss Riding Hood. Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.
This is one of those feel good, happy songs. Can’t be in a bad mood when you hear this. 😃😃😃
This was a band formed of session musicians to perform for a cartoon of The Archies in the last 60s. (The two girls are Betty and Veronica, the boys Archie, Reggie, Jughead) "Sugar Sugar" was a huge hit. They also had some hits with "Jingle Jangle" and "Bang-Shang-a-Lang". I guess they formed a new band for the current show Riverdale and they've played some of the songs.
And in this song, Toni Wine sang both female voices..
The 5 individuals were the main characters of the Archie Comics, Archie, Reggie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. It was also a cartoon which is what I think the song was for.
Amber for another 60’s song try “Different Drum” by The Stone Poneys (fronted by Linda Ronstadt) and for some 70’s “Knock Three Times” by Tony Orlando and Dawn
"Different Drum" written by Michael Nesmith from The Monkees.
And to make the world smaller.... Ron Dante, the voice of the Archies, knew Barry Manilow from their time as jingle singers. Barry was also part of a ghost group called Featherbed, and worked with Tony Orlando, who signed Barry to his first record deal with Bell Records. Ron Dante and Barry co -produced Barry's first 9 albums!
The Archies.....comic books turned into a cartoon in the 60s......my all time favorite 60s bubblegum pop song! My Mom had the 45 record and we played it over and over for years!!! Still have this song on my playlist!
LOL they're probably too young to know what a 45" record was. My Mema had like 100 of them. When I went to her house when I was a kid, my day was spent listening to this 45's. I LOVED it!
@@ChanelStuff I still have most of my 45's and LPs !
This 45 was the first record I ever bought. I feel OLD!
Pure bubble gum 😍 . At least its better than yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy !!!!! By the 1910 fruit gum company. I'm embarrassed to admit I even know the song. If anyone has any Archie comic books from way way back I was told they are worth some serious cash.
My cousins made up the cutest dance routine to this.
That sound that Amber's drawn to is by the electric piano set to sound like vibes or marimba.
The Archie's was on Saturday mornings, and I do remember getting the 45 record on the back of the cereal box. We had such cool fun things back in the 60's. I remember getting little wooden Scottish figures from Pop Tarts. Still have those little guys. Best time ever to be a kid.
Andy Kim
is known for hits that he released in the late 1960s and 1970s: the international hit "Baby, I Love You" in 1969, and "Rock Me Gently", which topped the U.S. singles chart in 1974.
I've heard Andy referred to as the Canadian Neil Diamond, which is interesting since Neil wrote I'm A Believer for The Monkees.
Y'all might want to check out more Tony Orlando and Dawn. They were bomb in the day.
Stars on 45 always pops into my head when I hear this.
The "sound" you hear is from an organ riff and is the hook that really caught everyone's attention. The lead singer is Ron Dante. It's also Ron on the split screen showing him play the drums, guitar and tambourine. His voice was multi-tracked as were the two female voices, both of which were sung by Toni Wine. Various stories abound as to the other vocalists but according to co-writer Andy Kim, Ray Stevens joined in the hand claps heard throughout the song. For a more rocking sound, take a listen to "Jingle, Jangle" which was the "Sugar, Sugar" followup. It hit #10 and was certified gold in 1970.
Awesome!! Wife and I sing this to each other everyday!!🤘🔥
Thats wonderful! :)
So sweet
Believe it or not but in 1969 Sugar Sugar by the Archie's was the #1 song of the year
Great song! Glad you liked it!
Semper Fi!
This song is Line-dancing perfection.
It's been used in cereal commercials. Here is the original Archies cartoon version of the song: th-cam.com/video/h9nE2spOw_o/w-d-xo.html
The original "Archies" was a comic strip. They turned it into a Saturday morning cartoon... Most recently the CW turned it into a TV show called Riverdale. That is the High School/Town that the Archies characters live in.
I got my copy of Sugar Sugar off the back of a cereal box.
The Archie's was a cartoon and a comic book. The lead singer was Archie Andrew's, then there was Jughead on the drums, Reggie on the guitar, and the 2 girls
Betty and Veronica who both lived Archie and would fight all the time over him.
I used to read the comic book alot, but now I can't find it anywhere.
Anyway, have a nice day and I'll talk to you later.
Smile!😂
God loves you!❤
So do l!
The Archies were the kings of the genre of *Bubblegum Pop.* A cartoon band made real--_everyone_ in the video is actually Ron Dante, session man/producer extraordinaire!
Weekly reminder Soul Asylum..."Runaway Train" u gotta pull my number sooner or later LoL
Wow, this was my first favorite song when I was young. I remember thinking what's a 'candy girl'.... To be young and innocent..
You are not going crazy Amber. The Archie’s were formed to record this song due to the popularity of the cartoon and comic strip “The Archie’s”. Such a fun time as a kid hearing this song from a record I got off the back of a cereal box! Ah, the memories!
The Archie's was a Saturday morning cartoon in the 1970s. Sugar Sugar was the theme song.
I love this song. the nostalgia hits me every time. My dad used to sing it to me as a child.
The Archie’s were a comic/cartoon and this song was written specifically for the cartoon band of the same name. Check around on TH-cam and you’ll find the original cartoon band singing this hit.
WOW! What would the world do without your reactions? WOW! Incredible. WOW!
Really,? always loved this video born early 80’s always been a true 60’s - 70’s girl at heart. Love this song.❤
Bubblegum pop at it's finest.
Some Of The Archies music was embossed with records that could be cut off the back of cereal boxes and were playable 33's.
Lol, I remember cutting the records out of the back of cereal boxes. They played horrible, but couldn't wait to finish that box so I could do this. The good old days!
I remember those, and the flimsy plastic ones. (And mini frisbees)
@@Dana-ld4wf ROFL...You WAITED???? ; 0)
@@andyfletcher3561 lol
Love this song
I remember hearing it for the first time in late 1960's. I was actually reading my Archie comic book.
Bumblegum Rock era. Absolutely legendary song. If you grew up with this song, you are 60 or older. This one really will give up your age. It was different back then yall...no cap.
This was written for a cartoon show called The Archies. The actual concept of the cartoon show came from an older radio program from 1943 called Archie Andrews that was about teenager Archie, his family and his school friends Jughead, Betty, Veronica and dating nemesis Reggie.
Actually the radio show and it's characters came directly from Archie comics, which had come out two years earlier and ran until 2015. Both the Archie TV show and the show Riverdale, which came out in 2017 were also based on the comic.
The old time radio program was based on the Archie comic book characters that first appeared in 1941 and the 60s-70s cartoon show was also based on the comic books which are still being published.
@@tltatt I stand corrected, you're right, I forgot that about six months after announcing the the cease of publication they began publishing it again.
@@ptournas I do remember reading the older comics in my grandmother's attic when I was a kid but did not realize they predated the radio program! Thanks for another link in my chain of knowledge!
Apple Bee's in 2020 used this song.53 years this came out. I was 4 l still love it .Betty and Veronica , Jughead Jones, Archie and Reggie. . It was a cartoon and comic strip.
Ive worked with many many musicians in my concert career and Ron Dante is up there in my top five as being incredibly down to earth. Within minutes of meeting him you feel like youve known him forever. Bobby Vee from the 50s and Mary Wilson from the 60s (one of the Supremes) are exactly the same way. But Ron Dante is responsible for so much more. He litterally wrote almost every commercail jingle from that era such as "you deserve a break today at McDonalds" and the Budwieser "king of kings" song. He produced almost all of Barry Manilows stuff and convinced Pat Benetar to quit her banking job and start a rock career and we all know how great that went down. He told me all of this and then asked me to tie his tie. Ha ha. There were more stories after the show but my favorite was all about the famous "Archies" band picture we all know and love so well. They look like they are playing a groovy tune with Veronica on organ on one side and Betty shaking the tambourine on the other side but in reality Betty has that thing way above her head and she is just about to throw it in Veronicas face screaming "Archies mine you......." you cant unsee it once you know.
Don't forget, there's a dance that goes with it❤
As others have already stated, this band started out as a cartoon in the 60s. This is an all time favourite of mine. It has been used alot on TV 📺. All that aside, I'm glad you like it. 👍
I've got this song/record... that you cut out of the back of the cereal box 😁😁😁
Yea, I'm old ❤❤❤
I love you guys! No lie - this was my favorite song when it first came out. I was in kindergarten. You've got to play this for your kids.
It's not just the three of them. It's guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, vocals, and some handclaps.
It started as a cartoon group's song. Played on A M radio, bubblegum genre. It has been in several different tv shows, a few movies and a 2020 commercial for Appleby's.
The Archies were a Saturday Morning Cartoon Show. I didn't even know they had an actual video of an actual band. This is bubble gum pop.
Didn't you notice that they were all Ron Donte, the lead singer?
Sugar, Sugar is a song written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim. It was originally recorded by the Archies, a fictional band of studio musicians linked to the 1968-69 US Saturday morning TV cartoon The Archie Show, inspired by the Archie Comics.

Somehow this was the number 1 hit of 1969. It's not terrible but beating out CCR, Sly and the Family Stone, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and the Rolling Stones seems implausible now.
I was a senior (in high school) when this came out. The reason it became #1 is because it was perfect for dancing. That's it. A lot of fun!!
I agree. Good song and music for moving your feet.@@dianadenman5637
It's from the Archie comics. My cousin used to have the record with Archie, Reggie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica on the front. Now there is a TV show called Riverdale, a dark twist to the characters from the comics
This song was actually pressed on the back of a cereal box-you cut around it and it actually played.
I was 5 years old and it was my favorite song and it came out on the back of a box of cereal and my Mom cut it out for me and I had my 1st record!
I was not allowed to touch my parents' records, so it was the one I could play and I did, over and over!❤😂😊
Ah, Bubblegum. From the late 60s to the mid to late 70s, Bubblegum tunes were regular chart toppers on the Hot 100. There has been a resurgence of late, especially through J- and K-Pop.
What you missed was that the singer (Andy Kim) was playing all four roles, lead singer, guitarist, drummer and tambourine player. Could you not hear the bass guitar (c’mon Jay, you’re always pointing out guitars and bass) but no bass player in the video. The Archie’s were a cartoon group formed by the cartoon character Archie Andrews, you can see a modern version of the Archie Comics in the TV series Riverdale
And hand claps, and background vocals!! ANDY wrote a masterpiece!!!
Actually Ron Dante did the lead vocals on the actual recording. Andy actually did not play all those on the actual recording. various studio musicians were used but you probably know this.
The singer and guy shown in the split screen is Ron Dante. Andy Kim wrote or co wrote the tune, and I think can be heard on the audio, but Ron Dante is doing the primary vocals.
Lol Ron, so good-looking!! My favorite song too!
This was from 1969. There was a cartoon called, "The Archies" which was this group. This was a big hit.
Surprisingly, this was- I believe was the no.1 single of 1969,which was crazy considering this was for an animated show called Archie- and the fictional group The Archies
OMG! My Mother loved this song. She could be in the worst mood and be all smiles🥰
The instrument in the background is a electric keyboard
Guys, Archie is still on TV. Only now it's called Riverdale.
