(Giorgio Moroder - singing phonetically didn't really seem to matter)

I know what you're thinking - "last week it was Sunshine Pop. Can Bubblegum be far behind?" The answer is no. Not your average practitioner of bubblegum sentiment, but Giorgio Moroder before he became anointed The Father Of Disco.

This was one such confection. Moody Trudy barely registered so much as a stomach ache here in 1969 but it was popular enough in Europe to spur Giorgio on the greater things only a few years later.

Don't blame me - it fell on to the turntable . . .honest!
