Bubblegum

Bubblegum is intended to capture the simplicity in form, chord structure, and groove of early 1960s rock and roll hits released by the Motown label. The A section features the harmonic progression from Sugar Pie Honey Bunch released by the Four Tops, and the contrasting B section uses a loose adaptation of the chords from the bridge section of Will You Love Me Tomorrow recorded by the Shirelles. Neither song's melody or bass line is used, but a similar character in all elements of this piece relates to the music of the era.
