Sugar Boogie or Big Sugar Boogie or something like that.
It turned out actually to be a song called Watermelon Time.
You just can't tell what's going to happen with a song like that.

So, then I went back and since I still wanted Sugar Boogie, it was too good a title to waste.
Yeah, you don't throw away a good hook, huh?
You just pound on it.
So, I dropped a little ballad on that one, but I don't know if I can make it work.
