Obviously made on a budget of about 10p, but this does - for better or worse - reflect the baggy rave scene of the summer of 1990 as it was. Great tune that deserved to be a hit, and did get plenty of airplay on "One FM".
Oh god... this makes me think of all those idiots from the 90s with their "Peace, Love, Unity, Respect" bullshit (I had to look that up, but I remember dumb ass ravers with their giant pants, glow sticks and stuffed animals-for-fashion crap saying it.) In Cal, people were way more into techno with heavy beats and crap than this panty waist music, but I think that's crap, too. Lame.
God I spent that summer so god damn high, in fact previous summer as well prob a few after that as well. Flipped my candy a few times but always had the green to put me back on earth. Remember kids avoid drugs u don't want to turn out like me with all these great memories a good job great kids and lovely partner. Fell the love and be happy
you're argument is that millions of people look up drug videos on youtube. Genius boy. No need for hating what you aren't a part of. Don't drugs teach you that?
The time i converted all my straight mates 2 the Gay way way of life! MDMA was a wonderful discovery! Such Happy memories,not a care or bad word aimed at me or the world around me 4 a good couple of years...No one cares if i'm gay anymore...It's Fantastic! I Love the 21st Century!!!!
@SEAN1983PHEANIS Yes, that's why this video has 25,000 views, and many LSD and Ecstasy videos have millions of views. Nobody wants to see this gay shit, stop spamming the search with Candy Flipping (ecstasy + LSD) and giving us this pussy shit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
we as the ravers of today have evolved way past what you old ravers used to be. dont get me wrong, we love you, but its different now... but come with us.. im not sure if im making any sense at all, and i'm just fine with it
I remember this from back in the day.Have still got it on vinyl,and all their other tracks along with other 90s rave / house classics.Wot a tune .blinding.
the name of this band comes from the term candy flippin' which is to take lsd and exstacy at the same time, and it toootally makes sense with the kind of videos and lyrics these guys have.
WOW. This is only the second time I've heard this since 1990. I remember the first time, seeing the video and loving it. I didn't get the name of the group. Its a great tune. Whatever happened to the lead singer?
god i remember this song when it first came out, brings back so many memories of being 18, and being down colchester arts centre,and watching all the indie bands, i had the haircut the clothes, they were such excellant times .
Miles, the video is great....I remember 1990 when I moved to London, and went dance at Heaven....good times....here in Brasil nobody knows Candy Flip...=(
Absolutely the most fun I've ever had making a video. I recruited everyone I knew. The producer (he's on the phone next to me), my ex-girlfriends, all my mates (Steve, Chris, Lee, Mole...to name but a few) stood on a conveyor belt and "performed" as they passed the camera. We originally wanted to shoot it in one take - but ended up cutting it.
It was summer, we were young, it was great. Not the best video I've ever made - but the most enjoyable.
It was a good video. The music was really fresh. I enjoyed it. Even though I had only seen the video once since 1990, I remembered it after all these years.
lyrics pleaseeee!!!
