Siouxsie and the Banshees - Candyman

[xbanxsanityx]

She's not the mother of goth, or the grandmother.

she is the goddess of goth: absolutely immortal.

[SinisterAppleJuice]

I think Siouxsie is awesome however I can't understand what she's saying all I here is Ahhahwhlsdhjlaf CANDYMAN uisefiajkrhai CANDYMAN

[squishyoprahtacohair]

When I read the lines "Syrup lies upon your tounge ge latine saliva spills the flash of a guillotine a smile" I thought it was definitely about a predator and his victims. "With their guilt and shame they think they're to blame." It was kind of disturbing to read when I got Tinderbox when I was 12.

[DegrassiLover54]

is this song about sexual abuse?

[hibernius]

I bought the 7" on Good Friday in 1986 and I thought I was soooo Gothic doing that!! HA HA HA!! I was only 16!

[MARKSVIGIL]

This song sounds even better today then it did back in the 80's! Siouxsie Is Awesome! IMO this is one of her best dance hits! You can even hear a litlle bit of Spellbound in this song!

[KeaneQueen11981]

The mother of Goth

[lorndarken]

the vocals drown out the guitar rifts , why , why do they do that all the time. i want siouxsie to re do the song again and not drown out the guitar !!!!

[lycia69]

Because the guitar is not the focus of the song, Siouxsie's lyrics/vocals are...they tell the story...

[Lucifer986]

sometimes its the intended affect.

[die2no]

goth rock at it's best step aside robert smith.

[matclarence]

and why pray,would an ex member of the banshees need to do that

[Lileroo]

awesome song, kick ass video!

[denitson777]

that guitar riff is so kick ass,wow

[mikebott]

say what you like, 'tinderbox' was a great album- "this unrest", "cities in dust", and "land's end".... and the composition of the cover is to die for.

[rcortez10025]

I love Siouxsie!

[AMVST]

The guitar riff that kicks in at 0:12 is awesome.

[smacktalker1]

Which album was this one from. Was it Tenderbox. I wasn't particularly fond of that one.

This is a good song though.

[AMVST]

Almost right. This track is from Tinderbox.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

Siouxsie's music is not for mere mortals to understand...she's on a higher plane than most pop singers then or especially now!!! I mean who else can take songs about Pompeii and child molesters and turn them into art? This is a rare talent and those of us who are in the know and appreciate her are better for it!!!

[die2no]

siousie,shirley manson,and debbie my favorite female singers.

[stars7803]

one of my ultimate favorite songs by her. this song just pumps me up. makes me want to be a teen again and at a newave house party drinking and smoking and dancing with the girls. :D

[keighleyrob]

awesome track....brings back memories of plying it with headphones on full blast.....................pard­on?? who said that??

[Electricpeacesurge]

She has such beauty and stature. almost reminds me of the statue of liberty.

[jensman67]

Awesome! The best SATB song ever. The bass line is among the top 5 of all times - Steve Severin plays excellent!

Thanks for posting.

[werthersoriginal123]

is this song about Ronald Clarke O'Brian? that killer that killed his son to claim £20,000?

[ohthisishardcore]

she looks amazing shes such a style icon and her voice oh my god... i adore her

[kurono1822]

keep this music far from the idiots, I think It´s much better than the popular crap

[artscigarette1984]

fucking love this!! proper music

[montag140465]

Meravigliosa , impareggiabile , sensuale Siouxie....

[PhilippeCa]

I grew up with that stuff, still love it. "Cannons" is nowhere to be found, might you have it?

Anyway, thanks for posting.

[Fadini72]

Uma das músicas que fazem parte da minha adolescência. É bom reviver o momento através deste grande som.

[SebastianThorson]

Why is it that the really good songs like this one are so un-popular, but the really shitty songs by "singers" like Brittney Spears are extreamly popular?

People are assholes... Conformist assholes.

[artscigarette1984]

tell me about it I'm 24 and get stupid comments for liking this stuff. Still I know it's a classic! lol I would like to say thanks to my bro for getting this song 4 me love ya xx

[SpankRamen2]

Why is Britney more popular than Siouxsie? Because idiots outnumber people with brains. We like this because we THINK it sounds good. Idiots are told what to think & what to like. Thus we end up with Britney Spears, Avril Lavine (however the fuck you spell it), Lil Wayne, & Soulja Boy.

[stunna455]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[artscigarette1984]

Thanks 4 posting this. I love this song xx

[NorrisGeez1986]

AMAZING!!!!!

[giraya5]

a primeira vez que eu ví foi no super special da bandeirantes daí nunca mais esquecí eu a amo.

[gzogt]

I love her !!!

[metalalien79]

incredible

[minimal1975]

yes adamcharney, im thankful that u ave put this on, because i was around ten years old and i used to video music box on the vid timer, and i watched it twice,and i loved this loads and became a siouxsie fan,lol. my sis recorded over it,and ive never seen this vid of hers since!!!! over 13 years!!! so thanx loads!

[qarfyh433]

the song is a warning of heroin. Don't do it kids!

[adamcharney]

Actually I've heard that this song is about a friend of her parents who owned a candy shop and tried to molest or molested Siouxsie when she was a girl. I could be wrong though. Either that or it's about a man...a man made out of candy. :p

[cgmandros]

Songs like Israel are awesome but this was always my fave Siousie and the Banshees song. Always thought it should have been the theme song to the movie Candyman.

[izzyfemmebot]

wow, what a brilliant song, it's probably one of the best banshees songs.

[oliviaramirez71]

Colour me shallow, but Budgie looks so gorgeous in this vid. Great song.

[0fodderstompf0]

Awesome song. Siouxsie and The Banshees are AWESOME.

[solwolfpunk]
