Sugar, Sugar
"Sugar, Sugar" is a pop song written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim. It was originally recorded by the Archies, a bubble gum pop band formed by a group of fictional teenagers in the television cartoon series The Archie Show. It reached number one in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969 and stayed there for four weeks. It was also number one on the UK Singles chart in that same year for eight weeks. The song became a hit again in 1970 when rhythm and blues and soul singer Wilson Pickett took it back onto the charts.
The Archies version
Background
"Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies was produced by Jeff Barry, and the song was originally released on the album Everything's Archie. The album is the product of a group of studio musicians managed by Don Kirshner. Ron Dante's lead vocals were accompanied by those of Toni Wine (who sang the line "I'm gonna make your life so sweet"), and Andy Kim. Together they provided the voices of the Archies using multitracking.
The song was initially released in late May 1969, on the Calendar label (the same label as the two previous Archies singles), achieving moderate chart success in the early summer in some radio markets, and was re-released mid-July 1969, on the Kirshner label, whereby it then attained massive success nationwide by late summer/early fall.

Sugar Sugar
by: This Hollywood HeartI'm dressing up, for a let down
And leaving all the lights out, so come on and
Let it rain Champagne, and let the rest
Be only smoke and cigarettes
It's like tragic magic
The way the haze fades to grey everything that you say
What a way to blow this night away
Don't speak, don't make a sound
I know how it goes, and here it goes
Sugar sugar, whoa, you were so sweet
Remember all the things you said to me,
Hot like the Summer weather, our lips would melt together
And every word would taste so sweet
But lately you have lost your touch
Maybe you're a sugar rush
And fast you fade away
So turn it up and knock me out
We could burn this room down, and then
Let it rain Champagne and make a mess
Of anything the fire's left
And get away, run away,
We'll change our names, fade away, baby, fade away
What a way to blow this night away
Don't speak, don't make a sound
I know how it goes, here it goes
Sugar sugar, whoa, you were so sweet
Remember all the things you said to me,
Hot like the Summer weather, our lips would melt together
And every word would taste so sweet
But lately you have lost your touch
Maybe you're a sugar rush
And fast you fade away
Let it rain
Let it rain
Sugar sugar, whoa, you were so sweet
Remember all the things you said to me,
Hot like the Summer weather, our lips would melt together
And every word would taste so sweet
But lately you have lost your touch
Maybe you're a sugar rush
