This one is the most complex song.
Listen for the deeper meaning.

Whenever I think of that song I remember a short-run comedy variety show in 1969 called “The Music Scene.” It was short lived and very strange as it ran 45 minutes. (It was paired with another 45 minute show called The New People. Pure late 60s hippy vibe version of Lord of the Flies.)

Anyway, on one episode of The Music Scene comedian David Steinberg did a one man skit. He’s listening to the radio and contemplating suicide by leaping out his window. The radio news person alternates bad and good news as he alternately considers jumping with the bad, then reconsiders with the good news.

After a few back and fourths the news guy announces that, after already topping the charts for 4 weeks, Sugar Sugar by the Archies remains atop the Billboard singles chart for a 5th consecutive week.

At which point Steinberg runs, leaping, throwing himself out the window.
