Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy Lyrics
Official




I know a guy who's tough but sweet
+
He's so fine, he can't be beat
+
He's got everything that I desire
+
He sets the summer sun on fire
+
I want candy
+
I want candy
+
Hey
+
I go to see him when the sun goes down
+
Ain't no finer boy in town
+
You're my guy, you're what the doctor ordered
+
You're so sweet, you make my mouth water
+
I want candy
+
I want candy
+
Hey
+
Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
+
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
+
Some day soon I'll make you mine
+
Then I'll have candy all the time
+
I want candy
+
I want candy
+
I want candy
+
I want candy
+
Hey
+
Hey
+
Hey
+
Hey
+
Hey
+

I Want Candy

"I Want Candy" is a song written and originally recorded by the Strangeloves in 1965 that reached No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is a famous example of a song that uses the Bo Diddley beat.

English new wave group Bow Wow Wow released their version in 1982 as the first and only single from their EP The Last of the Mohicans. It was a top 10 hit in their native United Kingdom. For many in America, "I Want Candy" was their first introduction to young lead singer Annabella Lwin and the band, who partnered with producer Kenny Laguna to record the song at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida. The song barely scraped the top 60 there but became an enduring new wave classic.

To capitalize on the success of the "I Want Candy" music video, RCA compiled an album called I Want Candy for their newfound American audience. The album peaked at No. 123 on the Billboard 200.
