33/365 The Candy Man

Not the Grateful Dead’s “Candyman,” released a tad earlier. The one Sammy Davis Jr. covered. The song written for the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (my first experience of “What have they done to my beloved book?”).

Any time Tim hears this, or even mention made of it, his face twists in agony as he announces, “I had just forgotten that song.”

I feel Tim's pain.

It was quite entertaining to watch Sammy Davis Junior bopping around while singing it though...

Poor Tim. Poor, poor Tim... (Why is Sewa taking my name in vain?)

Cedar Waxwing said...

Oh great. Now I is in my head now...

This definetly falls under the "messed with your mind" catergory. Be grateful that B.K. doesn't play it at the bar.

No, no, NO!! (Put me in Tim's camp.)

Sammy moonwalking was something to see. And mm, you'll have to take up the earwig comment with sewa directly. I don't know if he's made the mm/earwig connection. (Doesn't that sound intriguing?)

Well, now I'm comPLETEly baffled. MM has an earwig?

I AM an earwig. It's my wordpress screen name.
