Candy - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[kingr1able]

u r a idiottt

[Hache7]

Candy -Tom Petty or Candy - Iggy Pop ? umm

[MrGeltabs]

I guess Tom's a Hank III fan, sipping on that "Mississippi Mud"

[LAballin24]

The difference between Miley and Petty is Petty's irony, euphemism, and humor in this song whereas Miley's lyrics are superficial and stripped of subtlety.

[tSsoldier187]

this song is very gay

[CJLewis20]

@tSsoldier187 then don't listen to it or can u not comprehend such an easy thing to do

[delusiacandy]

[frogslife1]

[M3ganbliiizy]

[gimmeshelter1969]

"Yeah we drink it from a fruit jar ... with my little baby by my side."

Yeah mon!

[gimmeshelter1969]

Another hot one from this amazing CD. Way to go Tom Petty

[drnrg31]

I hear a little Steelers Wheel in this song. remeber "Stuck In The Middle". This T.P. track ias a Really cool tune to go cross country driving to.

[DoowahDiatribe]

the old music has lots of symbolism - candy, greens, put it on the table = before we go all the way, I like candy without the greens, so please shave the candy...pretty cool lyrics

[zachb96]

Can't wait to see this concert on Saturday. He still can jam.

[mck8813]

Hey, who's arguing? Cale, Knopfler, BB King, Scotty Moore, BTO, Jagger..........they've all got signature sounds. The Candy tune is a dead-ringer for the Cale "sound". That's a good thing. But if you want to get all technical here, there were probably only ten original ideas (sorry about that Plato) and five tunes when time began. Everybody's been either improvising or plagerizing 'em ever since.

[lantripamy93]

ha ha this song doesn't say much, but I can't stop singing it, its so much fun!

[MileyCyrusTrueLove]

Reminds me of "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. I wouldn't be surprised if she sues Tom Petty for plagiarism. 

[lostbreaker]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove hahahahahahahahahahahah fail

[hotshotsugar94]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove how? miley cant play cant sing has a terrible band doesnt know what real music is and apperently neither do you i mean how do you get "i dont drink Coca-Cola but i sure like an old moonshine" to "yeaaah lets party in the usa" i mean are you deaf or aware of what music is made up of like beats and how theses have NOTHING in common?

[wunderfool1973]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove Wow. 

[0815dylan]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove hahahaha what is miley cyrus compared with somebody like tom petty? just look at her lyrics:

And I got my hands up,

They're playin my song

I know I'm gonna be ok

i think she doesnt even know how to hold a guitar

[RubySerendipity]

@0815dylan

Bet she can't.

She can't be serious about that comment. I mean, he'd never steal from that Cyrus Child?

[sk8er20984]

@0815dylan indeed sir. Miley cyrus hasnt been one of only three musicians to win the award for lifetime musical achievements.

[derfunkhaus]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove I wonder if Miley serves turnip greens with the candy?

[dudeegg274]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove I love Miley Cyrus and Tom Petty if you can believe that but seriously I have never heard such a stupid statement, the two songs sound nothing alike at all and their sound isn't even on the same level so I don't know what song you're listening to but it can't be either of those.

[hdude55]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove excuse me? your probably about as intelliegent as her..

[Hefelump1]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove This comment is so wrong on so many levels.

[kirnm]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS! But on a serious note, all respect to Tom Petty and what he's done to become a legend of his craft; however, this song licks my balls.

[Inuyasha6594]

@MileyCyrusTrueLove are kidding me, i should be sueing you for posting such a dumb comment.

[ineedausernameplz]

heard this on the shore 104!!

[thecaddy68]

Wow! The best from Mr. Petty in a long, long time!!! So hot!

[mck8813]

Worse? Hell, it makes it 200% better. Check out Cale's "Call Me The Breeze" (not Synyrd's cover). and note the similar licks and instrumental bed as "Candy". Cale's the man.

[mck8813]

Petty claims the writing credits but this thing has JJ Cale all over it!

[mamakoeln]

@mck8813 I totally agree with you: JJ Cale all over. Which doesn't make it worse ! Great tune.

[morfeeene]

@mck8813 , don't you think it's a waste of time to argue about what is sounds like? All bands are influenced by their predecessors....from Led Zeppelin to MGMT. A human being doesn't go through life without being influenced by others.

[alexohncoe]

Eh... a pretty derivative song IMO. It's just a blues shuffle in verse-chorus-verse... no bridge, no breakdown...

I enjoy the song alright, but this would fit snugly on any blues album. What distinguishes "Candy"?

[mamakoeln]

Ron Blair

Mike Campbell

Steve Ferrone

Tom Petty

Benmont Tench

Scott Thurston

- Yeah ! Go rock it !

[Ewesgirl]

Love it!

[badellA86]

God, I love this song... it sounds just like "Candy". Cute!

[garbagecasey]

saw Petty last night at the gorge, good tunes, wish he played this one.

[Bravado2007]

...aaaahhhh...

...wonderful riff...wonderful song...wonderful guitars...wonderful "less is more" drumming by the master of groove Steve Ferrone...wonderful "nonsense" lyrics...

I don`t drink coca-cola

but I sure lik a ole moon shine

well I don`t much like walking

but i love my El Dorado ride

HILARIOUS !!!!
