The Sweet

My older Romanian son used to have a T-shirt that read "I'm Big In Europe." That seems to have been true of The Sweet, previously The Sweetshop, and later just Sweet. I vaguely recalled this song from the radio but dismissed it as bubblegum.  I can't recall knowing anyone who had any of their records or ever seeing a picture of them. It's all rather horrifying, isn't it?

 

Yet they somehow sold 35M albums worldwide. Somebody somewhere must have liked them a whole lot. Remember we all thought that Europe was much more sophisticated than us in those days.

Brings back fond memories of sixth grade. Per the YT channel, the song charted at #3 in the US.

It was my favorite song, when I was stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa Japan in the 1980s!
