For you USA people SS and 123RL could be related to a kid game, as was Sugar Sugar with cartoons, but when you chart worldwide without kid games or cartoons supporting it, means the song is good and can stand on its legs alone.
Simon Says, and that's my last post on it, don't want to threadcrap, here got first ONE cover (Giuliano e i Notturni - Il ballo di Simone), quickly covered again by others, that despite being played so flat and plain it's cringeworthy, it became a hit and won on the original (english) Simon Says... THEN the 1910FGC did a italian version (Semplicissimo) replacing only the english vocals and charted again, but lower.
If the lyrics of SS bothers you, go for Semplicissimo, same music double fun.
Now, if Michael Dutton can remix into 5.1 some good bubblegum track, i'm in...
