Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy - Live 1983 - HD Video

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
Sets the summer sun on fire

I want candy, I want candy

Go to see him when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer boy in town
You're my guy, just what the doctor ordered
So sweet, you make my mouth water

I want candy, I want candy

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

Can we give some LOVE to the drummer!!!! I don’t think people know how hard it is to stay in the pocket like that 👍

Wow! It's not often that a live cut comes even close to the studio. Great performance! They kept the spirit of the song but gave it some extra flair. Well done you, Bow Wow Wow!

[leechild]

That guitar riff has always fascinated me. Its so unusual and really not a simple thing to play.

[mattk]

Fantastic to hear it that bit faster. They’re all playing their arses off. Maximum respect to everyone.

[benedwin]

What a beautiful sound coming out of that guitar. Perfect

[sammyo]

WOW! What an amazing performance. It's hard to believe Annabelle had this much talent and confidence at 16 years old. btw Thursday bassist also killed it!

[GravityWellSounds]

Even a "simple" pop song back then had skilled musicians. The guys are all killing it and Anabella was perfection.

[matts.]

Dang. Not lip synched like most 80s TV performances And nailed it.

[jimpickard]

Absolutely brilliant playing. All three musicians fantastic and she has presence in abundance. Great band.

[toddbefield]

Great LIVE performance...so much better than todays music!

[Kwolfx]

Taking the Bo Didley beat to new heights, with some sharp musicianship, fine singing and dancing thrown in for good measure.

[rileyyyyh]

what an INCREDIBLE bass tone and style. sounds incredibly ahead of it’s time.

[stevebrady]

He is killing with that Gretsch White Falcon !!

Some of the New Wave Punk British rockers, during the late 70s early 80s had this unique Native American, Jungle, Pirate fashion thing going on, like Bow Wow Wow and Adam Ant and others, with their Colonial Era clothing and Mohawk hair styles and face paints and even sounding that way, along with album titles like Kings Of The Wild Frontier and See Jungle and Last Of The Mohicans, ect, ect, friggin luv it and like miss it so very much it actually hurts, drifting further away every day.

[TheMisanthropeLives]

I listen to Obituary, Sepultura, Slayer, Voivod, Overkill, etc but have to say these guys were always a guilty pleasure for me.
I took alot of shit from friends back in the day for saying they were a decent band.

These guys had skills and some serious chops and could really play.

[gangstagrandma]

I only focused on Anabella when I saw Bow Wow Wow live in Vancouver, 1982. Not even Mick Jagger could hop around a stage like that..

[RokDAWG]

Wow that was REALLY live & REALLY fucking awesome!!

[greg]

Annabella Lwin (vocals), Matthew Ashman (guitar), Leigh Gorman (bass), and Dave Barbarossa (drums)
What a fckn line up ..
Leigh what an truly outstanding bassist....

[blaznfattyz]

gorgeous and personified what was cool in the 80s

[reeflx]

Fantastic performance! Very talented band for sure.
