Chewing Chewing Gum
Super Furry Animals · Guerrilla [1999]
This is his warning to us all:]
[Gruff:]
Blowing bubbles
I've got stuff on my mind
A thought left behind, so
[Cian:]
Don't go chewing in bed
You might wake up with it stuck in your hair
[Repeat to end]
[Gruff:]
That's right, don't go chewing now
You might get it right stuck in your hair, stuck in your hair
[Repeat to end]
[Bunf:]
Chew, chew, chew, chewing gum
[Repeat to end]
[Dafydd:]
That's right, don't go chewing now
Aah Aah!
[Repeat to end]
Chewing Chewing Gum
Chewing Chewing Gum stands as a vibrant example of Super Furry Animals' eclectic approach during their mid-career peak. Released on the 1999 album Guerrilla, the track captures the band's signature blend of psychedelic rock, electronic textures, and whimsical songwriting. The recording showcases their ability to merge playful melodies with complex arrangements, a hallmark of their Welsh indie identity. As part of a prolific era that produced diverse sonic landscapes, the song reflects the group's willingness to experiment with rhythm and instrumentation. It remains a notable song in their extensive catalogue, illustrating the creative energy that defined their work in the late nineties and early two-thousands.
