Ash - Candy

[captoll]

2:29 hahahah

[TheGalwayFarmer]

i wonder how tim came up with this song as the strings were nicked from burt bacharach

[miaryes]

I was reminded about this song when I was listening to the beginning of another song, "Make It Easy On Yourself" Saw Ash twice. I wish I knew what happened to my cd.

[Ad1T]

Nice!bring back old memories when I was still in high school back in Indonesia..

[Frederm]

Tune !

[Naterrs]

Love this song, and great video..but it's missing the guitar solo and kick drum fills?

[Dcvictorious]

It's alright to be alone

[killthemaster100]

i wish they stilled made songs :(

[macunfraidh]

This was Ash's last great album. It hadn't a patch on 1977, but some of the melodies on Free All Angels are brilliant.

[mankycaaant]

@macunfraidh Would have to agree. 1977 was their best work.

Free All Angels tried too hard to cross over into the mainstream, and ended up sounding too poppy at times in my opinion.

[tgarci2]

I remember the music video cd that came this album. Used to love this band

[MrEightballe]

Imagine all the things just going creepy, loong out laugh =]

[IAINoodle]

candy is one hot somali!

[skyninjabot]

[tent23]

[cardtley]

[riedthekid]

" don't you know its alright to be alone

[xXTaylorXx94]

I loved the inro instumental, but this song has always been a guilty pleasure for me

:/

[okstereohead]

@xXTaylorXx94 check out Make It Easy on Yourself by the Walker Bros. for original version.

[ShoeiBoy]

Charlotte you sexy, sexy bastard.

[AndyPhobia]

amazing drum stick teleportation

[jazzmanEE]

..make it easy on yourself...damn this song is classic..the sample used efectively and smartly. i miss Ash

[DitzyNizzy2009]

@jazzmanEE - They're still around. (They're currently releasing a single every two weeks until October.)

[rosydonut]

My dad always told me this song was about drugs.

[karolecampesine]

@rosydonut "pure as driven snow", yeah it's about coke

[longyace]

[ravesjin]

[ravesjin]

those irish people are quite miniature.

[Glaucus08]

wouldn't say 5'7'' is that small, I'm 5'5'' and unlikely to get much taller, also irish btw

[jadepntr]

Cool video, I loved it ..thank you for the share

[janniwheeler]

el micheal jackson!haha!

LMAO!

[roryrobinson]

I love Ash. I really do. Saw them live in Swansea a few weeks ago. This song is undeniably shit and clearly one of their weaker tracks :(

[MyVassi]

wow...it reminds me of school years!

[zaleenbaba]

what is the height of the bass player??

[themastergedy]

rolon,mi mesera favorita,en la secundaria.

se la dedico a una chica muy especial para mi...y ella lo sabe.

[jespacey]

[steveb103]

Thats not what this vid or song is about ...

[wordlifeigotproblems]

they bit the "still d.r.e." beat on this song.

[Baronvonbadguy3]

ｙｅａｈ，　ｉｔ　ｄｏｅｓ　ｓｏｕｎｄ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｉｔ，　ｂｕｔ　ｉｔ　ｗｏｒｋｓ．

[DementedOnTheInside]

@wordlifeigotproblems this is a lot older than that

[rachifyme]

is it just me or does the waitress really look like hannah murray ( Cassie from skins)?

[varushkaxx]

thats exactly what i thought!

but in 2001 she'd be like 12

[taronid]

I heard only once ash playing a rock version of this song.. does anybody remember it?

[kanedasrifle]

what the fuck happend to ash?

this is awful

[PolarisTZA]

? Happened to them?

This was a one song thing off Free All Angels.

Rest of the album was amazing and even this song is a guilty pleasure.

Now the new Return of the White Rabbit song was a little off for me, but even that was great.

Check out the songs Shining Light, Sometimes, Burn Baby Burn.

And listen to their other stuff as well.

Love the MJ part...RIP

[jespacey]

Truelove 1980 is a good song. Disgusting video though.

[BudONGzzZZ311]

@PolarisTZA haha dats my playlist of ash man.

[B1ushMoe]

@PolarisTZA THIS is your guilty pleasure...

I don't find it guilty or pleasurable...

Watching German porn dressed as Elmo on the other hand!

[adphlash]

@PolarisTZA I think some of the A-Z stuff is back to there best and better even than some of FAA. I still think 1977 was the best thing they did though - such a cracking album. One of the most underrated UK bands...

[roxxi182218]

i love this video, i grew up with it. the fact that mj is in it also makes it just that much better

[Mariana1970june]

My son is an Ash fan ! And now I am too!

From Romania

[rachelhealylimerick]

how is this sing not famous?

and when you listen to it do u ever think u hear ur msn opening...?

[aitenko12]

cool song :)

[JuicyLucy118]

is this a cover?

xXx

[artmarty88]

nope, it has a sample by The Walker Brothers (I think)

[JuicyLucy118]

ahh yeah thanks :-)

[artmarty88]

you're welcome :)

[fukgrid]

The Walker Brothers track "Make It Easy On Yourself" this is what they modeled the song on, it's the same melody but with diff words, I think they done a really good job, it's totaly their own song.

[pixtress]

wow, you made me look at the original sample....I just KNEW it was breaking up, LOL! I think I love both versions now :) Thanks!

[ultravintage]

mmmph..., this song reminds me those good old days ^^

[queensmarkrangers]

The girl is my wife Kate Mahoney - Did this back in 2001, but is still modelling.

[hordichuck]

[AlizeRosenkreuz]

[TooVamptastic]

[bilbopb]

[benzie13]

[Aaronator19842009]

Cool video.

[ragdollatsunsetbeach]

this is my favirite song of all time lol... soo wow hehe, like the video as well kinda cute

[girlzed]

Isn't the girl also in the music video of Amy McDonald's "Mr rock and roll"? Looove Ash !

[cerealrulz]

My friends cousin is the lead singer, woot! awesome band btw

[cerealrulz]

and no-one else cares that you exist, just another insignificant 1 in 6,000,000,000

waster

[cerealrulz]

I was making a normal - reasonably interesting to cultured people - declarative statement, but some asshole like you always has to come and say something pointless;

Is it funny? NO

Is it educational?NO

Does it help either of us in any way, shape or form? NO!!!

And also, i got 6 thousand million because that is roughly the amount of people in the world. People like you are nothing in this world. You probably had a state education and will make a nice invisible face in a crowd

[cerealrulz]

I said (or clearly implied) that it was ROUGHLY 6 thousand million (6 billion if your a Yankee). It is actually 6,706,993,152. And no, I'm not lying about my friends cousin being in this band, if I was then I might as well say that he is my cousin. I think you did believe it was funny, otherwise you wouldn't have made the obvious stab at punctual irony (don't bother arguing, i got an A* in my media studies). And what furthers angers me is that you say 'It is obviously apparent my education...

[cerealrulz]

..is far better than yours.' So you have had a better education than somebody that is soon to finish Eton, the best school in England, to go on to Cambridge university, the best University in the world, or you, a state educated peasant (not that I have any sort of a hate for state educated people, as most of my friends are, but just of you, an ignorant lowlife that has nothing better to do than play on this useless website. If you think you are better than anyone else in the world, think again.

[cerealrulz]

Hehe, you should know that you have to be extremely rich to go to Eton. I don't go there, and never will, but I am going to Cambridge university. At the age of 15 I am learning German, Chinese, French and Spanish (+English) I have only completed 1 full GCSE Media studies. Also predicted to get A* over 50% chance in all subjects. I'm also doing triple science, Triple languages and music. All in all I am well in for a chance at getting over 12 A*-A grades. I'm not what you call and 'idiotic fool.'

[Paclypto]

Thank you, sir. This pretentious, one-sided conversation has brightened my night.

[cerealrulz]

And yes it is true. My friend is called James Bakt, and his cousin is the lead singer of Ash. I don't say this often because it is really horrible and degrading, but get a life.

[Nightbird]

I just discovered this band after wanting to hear who originally sang the Shining Light song just covered by Annie Lennox, which I love. I really like this group Ash! The lead singer is simply adorable, and I love their sound. Why this group hasn't had any success (that I have noticed) here in the USA is beyond me. I look forward to hearing more of their music here on YT, and please tell your cousin James that an american thinks his cousin rocks! =)

[cerealrulz]

lol, I just found out today that its his second cousin, he just says cousin to make it seem simpler :-)

[jameslee445]

Ash an amazing band where have they gone?

[pixtress]

One of my favourite songs when I used to think of previous unrequited loves and how I would comfort myself that I could make it on my own:)

Beautiful,sad, hopeful herione LOL

[AlizeRosenkreuz]

that's right- i agree with you ^,^

[CloudStrifeAV]

It's a shame... ASH have been such a underrated band! But I love them anyway! Cheers from Norway;)

[devilskitchen08]

ash crackin band m8

[xxxSasuSakuxxx4ever]

damm tim is looking fine in that suit! it bothers me that charollette doesnt show any emotion in the video but other then that its really good.

[xgunsXgoXbangxbangx]

argh.

love everything about this song! The video, the suits, how saccharine it is.

[marlendia]

how can i book the band for my wedding? :p

nah.. forget it, i might run away with the vocalist instead. hehe..

i was addicted to this song when i was in high school. love it.

[davidjudd86]

[justmeplayingmygtr2]

[burnsybaby1987]

[DJDonuts]

Ash the punk band doing a Ramones "baby i love you " , love song , still good bands tho , great tune

[indiangirl1122]

This song rules, my favourites are 'Candy' and 'Numbskull', bit a of a difference there, I know. xD

Seen them three times, and they never once played Candy live, they did play it at other venues during their last tour though...annoying!

[molly8chicken]

This song is a bit random for ash =/ lolz

[zicochain1]

why are they singing song about a girl then (plus so what if they are homosexual)

( to brandonmiller2)

[bethluvswho]

yeah, i agree.

backfired on himself there didn't he. lol

ox

[brandonmiller21]

sorry...term not directed at homosexuals. queer in the true sense of the word..meaning weird and out of place.

[bethluvswho]

ok, but still

x

[becky21xxx]

we all know what you meant. "fucking queers" wasnt it? and "gay crap". Don't try and worm out of it you homophobe, you really need to expand your horizons.

[warwickharris]

[jasmineguinee8]

[brandonmiller21]

these guys are the biggest fucking queers I have ever heard in my life. are you kidding me?? super sonic 7"s...what the fuck!!! totally gay crap!

[reynolds373]
