Candy by Cameo

I absolutely LOVE this song. How can u not? this is just a Cameo appreciation for this song. I love this part particularly:

even though I'm real shy
(real shy)
I attempt to look my best for you
(indeed I do, just for you)

IDC, his voice just gets me, I can play this song for hours nonstop!!!!
Just can't get enough razz
April usually brings showers
This time it was a hurtin' kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind

Great song! music

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.

I must admit this is an infectious groove nod that bass & drum intro got me hooked.

The Word Up! album itself is infectious.

It's an OK song but it's one of their worst.

I never really got into this song to much for some reason. I dont hate it
It,s just when I comnpare it to Funk Funk, I just want to be, Rigor Mortis,
Post mortem etc.. It kind of falls flat.
We gonna come on with the come on, gonna get down with the get down!

I feel ya on that one. I prefer some of the earlier raw Cameo funk
to the Word Up years. Some people actually think that Cameo's only
good songs were Word Up and Candy.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Cameo's electro-funk phase started with the "She's Strange" album. Every band that had horns figured out that you dont have 2 pay 7 guys in a studio when synths, drum machines, and keyboards can do half the work lol

...I only learned about a year ago that it was Aaron Mills that was responsible for the bassline on OutKast's "Ms. Jackson". No wonder I loved that song so much, lol. It was CAMEO, with Andre 3000 on the mic.

And I have NO IDEA how Andy could be hatin' on "Candy", lol. I will never forget their performance of it when I saw them at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA when "Word Up" dropped! The crowd's vibe was pure LOVE, PEACE, & MAGIC.

Actually it started a year earlier with the Style album. lol
