Strawberry Alarm Clock have charted five songs (including two Top 40 hits) and were instrumental in the development of bubblegum pop music in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words strawberry, alarm and/or clock:
“One of the joys our technological civilisation has lost is the excitement with which seasonal flowers and fruits were welcomed; the first daffodil, strawberry or cherry are now things of the past, along with their precious moment of arrival. Even the tangerine—now a satsuma or clementine—appears de-pipped months before Christmas.”
—Derek Jarman (b. 1942)
“Dignity takes alarm at the unexpected sound of laughter.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
