The Candy Man Lyrics

(Candy man)
(Hey, Candy man)
Alright everybody gather 'round
The Candy Man is here
What kind of candy do you want
Sweet choc'late
Choc'late malted candy
Gum drops
Anything you want
You've come to the right man
'Cause I'm the Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)
Who can take a rainbow (who can take a rainbow)
Wrap it in a sigh (wrap it in a sigh)
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)
(The Candy Man makes everything he bakes)
(Satisfying and delicious)
Now you talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Oh, who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)
(The Candy Man makes everything he bakes)
(Satisfying and delicious)
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow (who can take tomorrow)
Dip it in a dream (dip it in a dream)
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
The Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)
Yes, the Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)
A-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man

The Candy Man

Aubrey Woods performed this in the 1971 movie Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder and Jack Albertson. Co-writer Anthony Newley was so appalled at Woods' performance that he asked producers Stan Margulies and David Wolper to let him perform Woods' role if they could reshoot the scene, but Newley's offer was turned down.

As the movie wrapped up production, Mike Curb recorded an instrumental backing for the song with Sammy Davis Jr. in mind. The former member of the Rat Pack didn't like the song at first but decided to do it anyway. The result: the biggest hit of Davis' career.

Newley wasn't too thrilled with Davis's version either. He was recording his own edition of the song when MGM released Davis's version as a single. Newley was going through a divorce from actress Joan Collins in the same year Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory was released.

In 1985, this became the "Sunshine Baker Man" in a television commercial. Davis sang it, too.

This song was used in the animated film Madagascar as Alex the lion is hit with a tranquilizer dart. (thanks, Alistair - Dundee, Scotland)

After Sammy reluctantly eventually agreed to record the song, he rushed through it in two takes before heading to Vietnam to entertain the troops. "This record is going straight into the toilet," he complained at the time. "Not just around the rim but into the bowl, and it may just pull my whole career down with it." (Source Mojo magazine)

Old S--t

This Bluegrass ode to stuff brought from flea markets was penned by singer-songwriter Brent Cobb (David Nail's "Grandpa's Farm," Kellie Pickler's "Rockaway (The Rockin' Chair Song)") and Neil Mason of the Cadillac Three.

Lambert visits the flea market in Round Top, Texas, every year and readily connected with the song. "I just buy a bunch of old s--t that I don't need for a house I'm gonna build one day that I don't have yet," she said.

Feelings Lyrics

Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I've never have you again in my heart.

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again.

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I've never have you again in my life.

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings

Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...

Feelings

The singer's full name is Morris Albert Kaiserman. He was born in Brazil.

Albert originally recorded this as a Portuguese-language bolero, which became a major hit in latin America in 1975.

This song made headlines in 1999 when an Indonesian army leader sang it at a formal dinner to describe his position on the unrest in East Timor (A former Portuguese colony that was annexed by Indonesia in 1976. After a quarter century of unrest, East Timor became independent in 2002). (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 3)

The Offspring recorded this for their 1998 album Americana. (thanks, Cynthia - sacramento, United States)

In 1987, Morris Albert was found guilty of plagiarism, with a jury finding that this borrowed heavily from a French song from 1956 called "Pour Toi." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

One Too Many Lyrics

Friday night, passed out
In the street, can't believe
What I see, what I hear
Think I've had, too many bears
See a girl, in my bed
She took the halo from my head
Call me scum, I'm a bum
Mommy look what I've become
He did it again
My identical twin
So let the party begin
'Cause I'm not going home
And you can tell all your friends
That I'll be dressed to the tens
And I won't make amends
If you tell me I had
One Too Many drinks,
One too many fights,
One too many nights
In a rut, getting drunk,
Ending up with a scar
Kicked out of a bar
Feeling like a shit,
'Cause I hit rock bottom
I've had one too many, hey! Hey!
'Cause I've had one too many, hey! Hey!
One too many. One too many

Fist up, in the air
Lose my balance on the stairs
Red the color of the night
Who's that beauty wearing white?
I hear a song about to start
I hear the in my heart
Listen close, I'll sing it true
Fuck you and the things you do
Officer, please
Don't point your finger at me
If I play you a song, will you let me along?
'Cause I missed what you said
I think I'll sleep when I'm dead
'Cause the bomb in my head
Is screaming 3-2-1
One too many drinks,
One too many fights,
One too many nights
In a rut, getting drunk,
Ending up with a scar
Kicked out of a bar
Feeling like a shit,
'Cause I hit rock bottom
I've had one too many, hey! Hey!
'Cause I've had one too many, hey! Hey!

One too many drinks at the bar
Chillin' like a star
Here's to you, here's to me
Here's to what tonight could be

You're not bringing me down
Won't let you push me around
And I ain't leaving this town
So you'd best throw me out
'Cause if you're fucking with me
I'll give you something to see
Now open both of your eyes
I'm out here walking the line
One too many drinks,
One too many fights,
One too many nights
In a rut, getting drunk,
Ending up with a scar
Kicked out of a bar
Feeling like a shit,
'Cause I hit rock bottom
I've had one too many drinks,
One too many fights,
One too many nights
In a rut, getting drunk,
Ending up with a scar
Kicked out of a bar
Feeling like a shit,
'Cause I hit rock bottom
I've had one too many, hey! Hey!
'Cause I've had one too many, hey! Hey!

One Too Many

The first single from New Medicine's Breaking the Model album is about excessiveness. Vocalist Jake Scherer explained: "Everybody is guilty of that — whether it's drinking or something else. We all hit the point where we say, 'Now, I probably shouldn't have this one more, but I'll do it anyway!' That's the fun part of life. You never know unless you go too far."

"That's also a metaphor for how we perceive music," Scherer added. "We want to cross the line."

This Is My Song Lyrics

Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you?

Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For all the world, you and me

[Bridge]
I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, This Is My Song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you

[Chorus x 2]
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

This Is My Song

This song was written by the silent movie giant Charlie Chaplin for his movie A Countess From Hong Kong, starring Sophia Loren and Marlon Brando. Chaplin was a talented composer, his most famous work being "Smile," which he wrote as an instrumental for his 1936 film Modern Times.

Petula Clark (known as "Pet Clark" in her native England) said of the song: "I heard it and I thought it was a charming, slightly old fashioned love song. I could hear it being a hit in French, Italian and German."

Clark recorded versions of the song in French, Italian, and German for the European market. At the same time, her husband Claude recorded the original English version used in the movie. At the end of her recording session, Petula Clark recorded her English version using her husband's backing track.

Clark didn't want to record the song in English, as she didn't think it would work, but her producer Sonny Burke convinced her to do it. Reluctantly, she recorded the song. The English version was the first one released, issued in the UK where it quickly rose to #1.

An English-language version by Harry Secombe was released in the UK before Clark's - his version spent a week at #1 there.

Clark recorded the song in Los Angeles with Ernie Freeman handling the arrangements. Freeman did a lot of work with Frank Sinatra and became a top arranger for many of the '60s hits recorded with the talented LA session musicians who performed on this track. Clark says he did "this absolutely perfect arrangement" on "This Is My Song."

Don't Know What It Means

Puss n Boots is an Alternative Country trio comprising Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper. "Sasha booked a gig at a pool hall for us to learn guitar on… So, that's how we started playing guitar, because Sasha and I, we were already singers," Jones recalled of the band's formation on SiriusXM's Outlaw Country. "We learned enough chords on guitar to get Catherine here to play with us … We played a lot of gigs when we were all in town just kinda to get together and have fun. And then finally we sounded like a band enough to where we thought we'd make a record."

This Norah Jones penned song features on their debut set, No Fools, No Fun. The album's title comes from the lyrics of the Johnny Cash song, "Bull Rider," which is covered by the band on the record.

Songbird Lyrics

For you, there'll be no more crying.
For you, the sun will be shining.
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.

To you, I'll give the world.
To you, I'll never be cold.
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.

And the Songbirds are singing, like they know the score.
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before.

And I wish you all the love in the world.
But most of all, I wish it from myself.

And the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before, like never before.

Songbird

This was Christine McVie's solo on side 1 of the album. It proved her talent apart from the group. She wrote the song, sang it, and played the piano for it.

This is a very personal song for McVie about the self-sacrifice of true love. (thanks, Kristy - La Porte City, IA, for above 2)

Christine McVie has said that this song held Fleetwood Mac together during their hard times (while recording Rumours). Once the members heard this song, they thought how much they had been through and how much love they shared. (thanks, Ally - Phoenix, AZ)

This was often used to close many Fleetwood Mac shows. (thanks, Sarah - Guess, Canada)

American singer Eva Cassidy's cover was made the title track of a compilation album of recordings, which was released in 1998, two years after her death from melanoma. The album took off in the UK after Cassidy's version of "Over the Rainbow" was played by Terry Wogan on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. The Songbird set went on to top the UK album charts, almost three years after its initial release. In 2009 an audition performance of Cassidy's arrangement of this song by Shanna Goodhead on Britain's The X-Factor, prompted enough interest to push the late American's singer's version into the UK Top 75 Singles Chart.

Christine McVie penned the song in half a hour after she woke up in the middle of the night with it in her head. She recalled to Mojo in 2015: "Stevie and I were in a condominium block and the boys were all in the Sausalito Record Plant house raving with girls and boozer and everything. I had a little transistorised electric piano next to my bed and I woke up one night at about 3.30am and started playing it. I had all, words, melody, chords in about 30 minutes. It was like a gift from the angels, but I had no way to record it. I thought I'm never gonna remember this. So I went back to bed, and couldn't sleep. I wrote the words down quickly."

"Next day, I went into the studio shaking like a leaf' cos I knew it was something special. I said, 'Ken, (Caillat, Rumours' co-producer/engineer) put the 2-track on, I want to record this song!' I think they were all in there, smoking opium."

The song was recorded away from the studio at the University of California's Zellerbach Auditorium.

Changing

The follow-up to Sigma's UK #1 single "Nobody to Love," this song finds the production duo collaborating with singer-songwriter Paloma Faith and a full orchestra. The track was premiered on BBC Radio 1 during Annie Mac's July 11, 2014 show.

The song's music video was shot on location in downtown Miami and finds Faith performing the track in the backstreets of the Florida city.

The collaboration with Paloma Faith came about through Sigma's management. Joe Lenzie of the duo explained to Digital Spy : "We'd written the track and originally we had Ella Eyre featuring on it but I think she was trying to move away from the dance stuff and she didn't want to be the feature artist. We were basically just trying to find someone to replace her because obviously she's got such an amazing voice. It's quite hard to get someone as solid as that, but Paloma's performance is amazing on it so we just kind of took it from there."

The song marked the second UK #1 for the Sigma pair and Paloma Faith's debut as a chart topper after three previous Top Ten hits in her own right.

How You Remind Me Lyrics

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without
A sense of feeling
And this is How You Remind Me

This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no

It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and
I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with him must have
Damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you

How You Remind Me

In an interview with MTV, Nickelback's lead singer Chad Kroeger said that he wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi, who he had a rather dysfunctional relationship with. He kept the lyrics very ambiguous, however, which accounts for much of the song's success, as many people could relate to an ex who started pointing out all of your faults at the same time and caused considerable heartbreak: "This time I'm mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breaking." Silver Side Up was Nickelback's third album, and many of the songs were about relationships and personal issues.

Kroeger brought the song to the band a week before recording the album, thinking of it as a possible last-minute addition. The band finished the song in about 10 minutes and knew they had something special. This was a contrast to most of the album's material, which was written even before their previous album, The State (2000).

This was a huge surprise hit for Nickelback's record company, Roadrunner Records, which was expecting Slipknot to provide their commercial success for 2001. Instead, it was Nickelback. The album was released on September 11, 2001. This was the first single and most popular song, resulting in many listeners associating the song with remembrances of the tragedies of that day. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

A wildly popular song that covered a range of formats, "How You Remind Me" was the most-played song of 2002 on US radio stations. It was also the most-played radio song in the US during the first decade of the 21st century, with over 1.2 million spins. It was followed on this list by Train's "Drops of Jupiter," which was played over 1.1 million times during the '00s.

This was only the second time a song by a Canadian group hit #1 on the US charts. The first time - "American Woman" by The Guess Who.

Sum 41 was known to cover this song from time to time with slight changes to the lyrics. They played it on MTV's New Year's countdown to 2002.

Near the end of this song, the band drops out and Kroeger bellows, "for handing you a heart worth breaking!"

It was the band's drum tech Andrew Mawhinney who came up with the idea for this hook. Kroeger recalled: "He goes, 'you guys should do a big stop right at the last chorus'."

The band gave Mawhinney $5000 for coming up with the suggestion.

Chad Kroeger's fiancée, Avril Lavigne, covered the song in 2012 for One Piece Film Z, the eleventh Japanese anime feature film based on the shŠnen manga series One Piece by Eiichiro Oda. The couple married the following year.

Through Blood and Dirt and Bone Lyrics

Die young save yourself
Life is only replaced by hell
I know that the hurt will just go on
I cant save myself
Slowly without a name
As the blood empties from my veins
Nothing ever stays the same I know
I always take the blame

I fear I wont make, make it out, out in time
I fear I wont make, make it out, out alive

I'm alone when the ending comes
Take control of the nightmare
This fate has become my own

Choking on my soul
Misery has gained control
And in out I start to pull the cord
That's trapped in side my bones
I want so much to make you feel
All this pain that makes me real
I bring you down to fall with me
Now drown inside of my disease

I fear I wont make, make it out, out in time
I fear I wont make, make it out, out alive

I'm alone when the ending comes
Take control of the nightmare
This fate has become my own
There is no quiet ending
Ill be taking you with me
Through blood and through dirt and bone

Through Blood and Dirt and Bone

I'm alone when the ending comes
Take control of the nightmare
This fate has become my own
There is no quiet ending
Ill be taking you with me
Through blood and through dirt and bone

This was written by Trivium on tour. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto recalled on his website : "Matt (Heafy) had some cool riffs, I had some cool riffs, and they ended up working well together. We jammed it at a sound check and demoed it out to remember it for pre-pro. Sometimes the best songs come together that simple."

"It's a very somber song both lyrically and musically through out.," he added. "I remember the day we jammed it at the Chance in Poughkeepsie being very grey and bleak outside."

The music video features footage from Trivium playing the song at venues around the world. The clip was filmed and directed by Luke Daley.

Mase and Brian McKnight
Bay Boy we dont' stop, we rock we rock
Yo,I hit you the sound that the world can't take
Came straight out the gig playing two point eight
Near studded, jewel flooded, got to love it
First rap cat with an R&B budget
Everyday on the TV, me and PD
Girls see PD, make their man break the CD
Why ya'll forever rowdy, I'll be outie
Somewhere in Maui, 'til I go back to Cali

Can't understand how he can treat you
The way that he does
Give me the chance to show you baby
You're better off with me
Oh so baby let me try, I wanna make you smile
I wanna love you like you need to be loved
I'll never let you down, I'll always be around
And you should be mine

If he don't love you right, Don't Waste Your Time
If he don't treat you like you should, then you should be mine

Why can't you see you should be happy
And I don't know why
You don't believe a man can love you
For the rest of your life
Oh so, baby let me try, I wanna make you smile
I wanna love you like you need to be loved
I'll never let you down I'll always be around
And you should be mine

If he don't love you right, don't waste your time
If he don't treat you like you should, then you should be mine

Yo, what the deal honey, insecure, feeling funny
I know you're used to dealing with cats with real money
Also know you like Mase in alot of ways
But it's hard to go on when your lonely on the holidays
When you shop should you shop for two
Take you where the waters aqua blue
Let you fall back, treat you like you all that
Under umbrellas with your shades and your straw hat
You ain't the one out clubbin' all day and all night
Just to save a fight you say what's right
And I know he ain't the cat that will stay in your life
Even though he gave you ice that'll make you his wife
How a man deserve you if he hurt you
How you give a woman 25 a curfew
Between me and you, you ain't heard that from me
'Cause Mase ain't the player with the PHD

Girl, come into my world
I'll love you the way that you need to be loved
No worries no more, girl open the door
And don't waste your time
'Cause you should be mine

If he don't love you right, don't waste your time
If he don't treat you like you should, then you should be mine

Don't Waste Your Time

This song was written and produced by Jonah Ellis, who co-wrote the 1981 Yarbrough & Peoples #1 R&B hit "Don't Stop The Music." Ellis got the idea for the song when he was 19 years old. He returned home from college and found out from a friend that his girlfriend was cheating on him. They broke up, but he started dating the girl who broke the bad news to him, and a few years later he wrote the song based on those events. The storyline worked well for Yarbrough & Peoples, who were the real-life couple of Cavin Yarbrough and Alisa Peoples, and "Don't Waste Your Time" also went to #1 on the R&B charts.

The guy who plays the love interest of the cheating girlfriend in the video is Ice-T, who had recently gotten into acting. The was in an episode of the TV series Fame in 1983, and appeared in the movie Breakin' in 1984.

Wanna Be A Gangsta Lyrics

So you Wanna Be A Gangsta, bang to death
Shoot to kill, represent your set
Ride around in a low rider
No matter how hard they can go
You can go harder
Never scared to get down, quickly bust your Mac
Enemies get dealt with, never tuck your flag
Stay dusted, high as a motherfucker
Get that working, lay down another buster
And the game, it don’t matter, it becomes your wife
Ink in your skin ‘cause this shit’s for life
Pledge your life to the hood, nigga, you ain’t cut for this
Motherfucker, you can’t fuck with this

You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta

You wanna be a gangsta
Yo, that shit looks sweet
You wanna be a gangsta
Kakis and chucks in your feet
You wanna be a gangsta
The neighborhood’s elite
You wanna be a gangsta
You gonna die in the streets

You don’t know a thing about this
Too many fucking rap songs
They got you on the pay, this is your last song
You sit behind a keyboard and you pretend you hard as fuck
But you must’ve been hood, get your ass sold up
And if you want to, boy, don’t have to look too hard
You can listen to me or fuck a prison guard
Get caught in this world, gang banging is no fucking game
Fuck around in the killers’ fields and get blown out the frame

I want you to listen to me
And pay fucking attention
If you ain’t from the hood
Stay the fuck out of the hood

You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta
You wanna be a gangsta

You wanna be a gangsta
Yo, that shit looks sweet
You wanna be a gangsta
Kakis and chucks in your feet
You wanna be a gangsta
The neighborhood’s elite
You wanna be a gangsta
You gonna die in the streets

Wanna Be A Gangsta

Body Count are a Los Angeles Thrash Metal band fronted by rapper and actor Ice T. This is a cut from their Manslaughter album.

Ice T spits lyrics in this song criticizing kids that believe his former gang lifestyle was glamorous. He told NME it's aimed at, "Suburban kids listening to rap and acting tough behind their keyboards."

"If they touched down on those streets," Ice added, "they can get their ass sewn up."
