Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine Candyman, Candyman Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet sugar candy man
Hey, Yeah
I met him out for dinner on a Friday night He really had me working up an appetite He had tattoos up and down his arm There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
He's a one stop shop, makes the panties drop He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candy man A sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman
Ooo yeah..
He took me to the Spider Club at Hollywood and Vine We drank champagne and we danced all night We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise (a big surprise) The gossip tonight will be tomorrow's headline (oooh..)
He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman A sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman

He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman oh A sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman
Woo yeah
Well by now I'm getting all bothered and hot When he kissed my mouth he really hit the spot He had lips like sugar cane Good things come to boys who wait
Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine Candy man Candy man Sipping from a bottle of vodka double wine Candy man, candy man
Sweet sugar candy man He's a one stop, gotcha hot, making all the panties drop Sweet sugar candy man He's a one stop, got me hot, making my uh pop Sweet sugar candy man He's a one stop, get it while it's hot, baby don't stop Sweet sugar
He got those lips like sugar cane Good things come for boys who wait
He's a one stop shop with a real big Oh! He's a sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman Say What? Sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman Say? Sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman Whoo Sweet-talkin', sugar coated candyman
Heeey... Candyman Candyman Candyman Candyman

Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine Tarzan and Jane were swingin’ on a vine Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine Sippin’ from a bottle of vodka double wine Jane lost her grip and a-down she fell Jane lost her grip and a-down she fell Squared herself away as she let out a yell Squared herself away as she let out a yell

My daughter was mad into this last summer. Gotta say I fucking hate swing pastiches, after that the sub-Two Ronnies lyrics are not too bad.
Also don't make me get Scouting For Girls up in here.

Oh silly me. I thought you were talking about

...in which case, I was going to say that you were wrong.

It was written by Linda Perry, which is weird because usually you associate Linda Perry with really awesome singles by female solo pop stars.
― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 20 April 2008 22:49 (seventeen years ago)
Linda Perry's work with Pink is absolutely sterling. Maybe she was on a big Puppini Sisters kick.

^^^this is the worst part.
― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 20 April 2008 22:59 (seventeen years ago)
Plus I'm not down with the beatniks, but wasn't "candyman" beat generation slang for a drug dealer? Is this song about sucking dick for coke in 50s America?
Man I will always smirk at a "LOL IT KIND OF RHYMES WITH COCK" moment.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 20 April 2008 23:00 (seventeen years ago)
what specifically about this song would make it the worst single of the decade, lyrically? i mean at very least
There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
is not a bad line
xps
― deeznuts, Sunday, 20 April 2008 23:00 (seventeen years ago)

I WARNED YOU
She's a strawberry milkshake. She's as sweet as a peach, but she's ice cold. She never told me, she was leaving. She left on a friday. I went out for the day, and she left for the year. She never told me she was leaving. So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. She's so extraordinary, she left last january. And that's the reason I miss you so. She's a messy creation. She hit the road, but the road hit back. Nobody told me, you're an island. I will wait for a lifetime. I've been counting the days, since you left one way. Nobody reaches her island. So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. She's so extraordinary, she left last january. And thats the reason I miss you so. So give me a chance, I want you to know. I won't love you and leave you, and then let you go. I need to sort myself, can somebody show me the way. And nobody knows the way. Nobody know the way Nobody know the way Nobody knows the way Nobody knows You gotta give me a chance, and say you'll come home. I won't love you and leave you, and then let you go. You're always hard on yourself, nobody knows the way. And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way And nobody knows the way Nobody knows the right way So get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. Get yourself on that airplane, coz its been far too long since you went away. She's so extraordinary, she left last january. And thats the reason I miss you so

"She hit the road but the road hit back"
Shit is deep.

It depends what you find more offensive, faux-poeticness or faux-naughtiness. It's like Banksy versus a copy of Nuts
― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 20 April 2008 23:06 (seventeen years ago)
i read some bloc party lyrics that were worse.
also:
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air I was born too late into a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn't play guitar, Not everybody drove a car, When music really mattered and when radio was king, When accountants didn't have control And the media couldn't buy your soul And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
When pop-stars still remained a myth And ignorance could still be bliss And when God Saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale When my mom and dad were in their teens And anarchy was still a dream And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
When record shops were still on top And vinyl was all that they stocked And the super info highway was still drifting out in space Kids were wearing hand me downs, And playing games meant kick around And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

OK, yeah, point proven.

Banksy vs a Copy of Nuts is a PTHTBM.

In terms of points proven and PTHTBM
