This is so cute and so innocent. Bubblegum music, as it was termed in the late 1660's, was always the object of ridicule or the butt of somebody's joke about "over-commercialized silly music."
"Simple Simon Says" is a perfectly preserved specimen of this musical epoch. In fact, I played and sang it at Stacy Lebenger's Bat Mitzvah with one of my very first "basement-rehearsed" rock bands. As I recall, everybody loved it. As they said at the Loretto Yacht Club (a short-lived social group within a social group), "Ain't no shame in loving what you love." This does not apply to liver.
Enjoy this Bubblegum treasure, and while you listen and watch, follow the directions with precision and enthusiasm. Click ahoy to enjoy:

What's that? You'd like an added Adams' Clove Gum (or Beeman's or Blackjack or Big Red or Juicy Fruit) bonus extra? Did I hear the woman in the back request "1-2-3 Red Light?"
DAZZ Delivers! I dedicate this song to my younger sister Diane, who used to walk around the house in Bellmore (we were Bellmorons) singing this song with great emotional conviction. She was very cute.

Now be certain to make an appointment with your dentist (hopefully it's Barry Steinberg) for an exam. Sweet? Oh yes.
