Some random trivia I stumbled upon last night while updating my MP3s.
I came across the song ‘Sugar Sugar’ a hit from 1969 – Billboard Chart #1 with a bullet.
So…the song is by The Archies. No problem, I just need the album artwork for my list and I’m on my way.
What’s this? I find out that The Archies are in fact a fictional band made up of the Archie characters we all love – Betty, Veronica, Archie, Jughead and Reggie! What the heck?! I never knew this! I mean, they appear in the comics all the time, but I thought it was just part of the story!
Turns out that the fictional band made some musical numbers for their animated series (which is stellar by the way. Go watch it!) and Sugar Sugar made it to the top of the Billboard – a first for a fictional band!

Did you know there is an Archie Movie!!!
I forget the name… I think it has Riverdale something in the title… I can only rememeber one part of the movie and it’s Jughead dancing all double jointed style to Sugar Sugar… VERY COOL
Everynow and then I go on a quest for that movie but have yet to find it.

Was this the animated movie, or the real-life one? I remember something on NBC back in the 90s about ‘Return To Riverdale’.
It was real life
Return to Riverdale could sound familiar
To Riverdale and Back Again, is another
Hey Trish! What about doing a movie night with that one?!….. I know it would be different then the zombies and all, but heck, I’d be kinda cool, no?
