Music plays a big role in my life, so naturally I wanted to put together a themed playlist for the tasting party -- and to listen to while making all that candy!
So, I searched our collection for songs with "candy" or "sugar" in the titles and was pleased to find lots of songs that fit. Some were old favorites, some I didn't know... it wound up being over 2 hours of music, including:

- The Halo Benders - Big Rock Candy Mountain
- Madonna - Candy Shop
- The Hidden Cameras - Lollipop
- The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar
- Cocteau Twins - Sugar Hiccup
- X - Sugarlight
- The Ravonettes - You Want the Candy
- Magnetic Fields - Sugar World
- Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Confection
- Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy
I was disappointed that we didn't seem to have Echo and the Bunnymen's Lips Like Sugar in our collection though. Anybody have any favorite candy-themed songs to share?
Can I tell you how much I love that Cocteau Twins is in that playlist?
ReplyDeleteA couple quick searches through the pop/rock stuff (= ignoring Motown, oldies and musicals) in our iTunes collection also reveals:
ReplyDelete"Icing Sugar" and "Sugar Girl" by The Cure
"Sugar We're Goin Down" by Fallout Boy
"Spoonful of Sugar" by The Verve Pipe
"Sugar Never Tasted So Good" by The White Stripes
"Candy Everybody Wants" by 10000 Maniacs
and LOTS of Sugarcubes!
Hi Kristine! We had "Icing Sugar" and "Candy Everybody Wants", but the rest of those aren't in our collection. Will have to check 'em out!
ReplyDeletedon't forget about Bjork's first group "The Sugarcubes"!
