Welcome to Bossy’s Ear Worm, which features songs currently in Bossy’s headphones. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Who remembers sitting around their Aunt Jenny’s pink enamel kitchen table with the pink vinyl swiveling bucket seats eating a bowl of bugles dipped in cream cheese when suddenly Sammy Davis, Jr’s Candy Man comes on the portable radio situated on the sea-foam colored laminate countertop next to the coffee percolator?
Here is that version, listen at your own risk:
Well. What follows is today’s ear worm, a cover of The Candy Man by Cibo Matto from their 1996 record Viva! La Woman. Bossy thinks it may possibly be the best cover of a tune eh-ver.
Cibo Matto, The Candy Man.
Listen all the way through the funky chorus or you’re missing the best bit.
