Heroes: Joey Ramone and Syd Gottfried, who, in response to an offhand comment about "those awful Hilton sisters," asked if it was in reference to the ubercool Siamese-twin carnival act that appeared in the 1932 film Freaks.
Bubblegum defined:
by All Media Guide
"Bubblegum is a lightweight, catchy pop music that was a significant commercial force in the late '60s and early '70s. Bubblegum was targeted at a preteen audience whose older siblings had been raised on rock & roll. It was simple, melodic, and light as feather -- neither the lyrics or the music had much substance. Bubblegum was a manufactured music, created by record producers that often hired session musicians to play and sing the songs. Frequently, the session musicians were given a fake band name to give the illusion that they were a real group."
