Who or what is the Candyman?
What's the meaning of the candyman in the Feels Just Like it Should song and video?
What do you think? |

Hmm, the snake in the Corner of the Earth vid maybe?
Yeah, you're right. Watched all the vids a few times, but couldn't find a real character. But being the only caracter makes the Candy Man the worst too

"The Candyman Can"
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make strawberry-lemon pie
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Willy Wonka makes everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes
You can even eat the dishes
Who can take tomorrow
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man
The Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should...
Hehe, sorry, I love that movie ! In all seriousness, the candyman in FJLIS to me is taboo temptation, the pimp on the corner, indulgement in sex & drugs.  Which I guess are slightly good things if done in moderation . Thanks for listening and Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
And we think Michael Jackson is CREEPY!!!!

Think: candyman (modern manifestation of temptation etc.) and snake (garden of eden, represents temptation also). Ooooh! Biblical intertextuality....  |

I thought that the candyman is the drug seller too. the evil inside us maybe.
but I was thinking maybe it had something to to with the mythos "candyman". or with the film. say candyman three times into the mirror and he'll appear... |
