![]() Our venues include large capacity concerts and we have appeared on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand and numerous tv and radio shows as well as Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Today, The 1910 Fruitgum Company travels and performs throughout the United States. Several other songs created a virtual treasure chest of albums! Other releases to follow included, "MAY I TAKE A GIANT STEP", “SPECIAL DELIVERY”, “THE TRAIN”, “WHEN WE GET MARRIED” and “REFLECTIONS IN THE LOOKING GLASS”. ![]() The group’s next hit record, "INDIAN GIVER" became The 1910 Fruitgum Company’s third Gold record. The 1910 Fruitgum Company followed up this initial success with another smash hit, "1-2-3 RED LIGHT". The song quickly moved up the charts to become a Top record on the national charts and the top of the charts in the United Kingdom. It’s even worse than ‘ Star Pets’, which says it all.The 1910 Fruitgum Company ® virtually exploded onto the National charts in 1968 with the first single release, "SIMON SAYS". This is, without a doubt, Peter Simon’s lowest moment. ‘Simon Says’ is simply inadequate in every single department. The song’s strong whiff of cheese is excusable, but it also sounds nonsensical and hideously puerile to the extent that it makes Roland Rat Superstar’s ‘ Rat Rapping’ sound as deep and meaningful as Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’. The backing track is like a dentist’s drill being inserted into your brain, but it’s Simon’s complete disregard for dignity that is most concerning. Unfortunately, though, the reality of this cover version leaves an unpleasant taste.Īlthough it is faithful to the original – with the exception of Simon’s troubled Poochie-esque rap – it still ends up being the musical equivalent of Bombalurina covering a Black Lace song. After all, he manages to make the shopping channel, Bid, look entertaining. The concept of Peter Simon covering 1910 Fruitgum Company’s ‘Simon Says’ sounds ludicrous enough to work, but it also seems well suited to his affable personality. Incidentally, Shane Richie, who was Simon’s first co-presenter on ‘Run The Risk’, had a Number 2 hit with ‘ I’m Your Man’ in November 2003. Both of those releases had some interesting ideas, but were nothing more than short-lived curiosities.Īnd there was also Peter Simon, the presenter of game show segments ‘ Double Dare’ and ‘ Run The Risk’. Meanwhile, Sarah Greene’s only single, ‘ Eeny Meenie’, flopped in 1983. ‘ Jennifer Juniper’ – a charity single for Shelter – by the Singing Corner meets Donovan (AKA comedy duo, Trevor and Simon, and *THE* Donovan) also charted, peaking at Number 68 in November 1990. Phillip Schofield’s ‘ Close Every Door’ – a blatant cash-in from ‘Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ – was the most successful of these releases, reaching Number 27 in November 1992. ‘Going Live!’, most likely, is one of the few television programmes where the majority of its regular human cast members released a single.
