Good eye, Bill. I'm thinking the same.

"Captain Groovy and His Bubblegum Army were a studio project of Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz, the bubblegum pop production team behind Super K Records. The “band” included Joey Levine of the Ohio Express on vocals. The Song “Captain Groovy and His Bubbegum Army” was released in 1969, and was intended to be part of a cartoon series that never got off the ground. It was released in the States on Super K Records in a Buddah Records company sleeve. In Europe, it was released by Hansa, a German label, and came with the picture sleeve below. The cover art was by Jack Davis, who was known for his work with Mad Magazine. The name of the song was shortened to “Captain Groovy’s Bubblegum Army,” possibly out of space considerations."
