Bubblegum pop

Been reading a little about this genre.  Green Tambourine, by the Lemon Pipers is thought to be one of the first bugglegum pop singles. Pretty innocuous but fun in a way.  Here are a few other early bubblegum pop songs.
Simon Says - 1910 Fruitgum Company
You can definitely see the kid appeal here.
Yummy Yummy Yummy - Ohio Express 
 This song has some almost new-wavish complexity to it.
A Little Bit of Soul - Love Explosion
This sound was arrived at by a lot of artists coming from various different angles.
