Nobody isn't talking about the actual production of the music video. it was ahead of its time .
Thank you...the video production on this video is top notch on so many levels
It’s 2024 is this joint is still SLAMMING!!!!❤❤❤
Like someone said on the chats, Cocaine really gave us soo many timeless hits. We'll still be listening to this track in 2025
I was named after this song. Im turning 30 years old this year and my family still tells me to dance every time this song comes on 😄
Lied to my mother when I was 12 and went to see cameo live. Had no other plan but to see them. Wandered boston until 6am until I could grab the train home. I still stand by that decision 🙏🏽
@@Eli-ss9gj he means from the azz whoppin he probably got from lying to his moms.
Arguably the illest bass line of all time. Simply incredible. Classic.
That's a fact..also just a touch of love by slave..dat bass line is wicked
Whoever still playing this in 2019 I hope your life has nothing but blessings to a occur
2:50 One of the best sax solos on a pop hit. Rest in peace Michael Brecker. ❤️
You most of forgot about Billie Ocean Caribbean Queen is another great jam and I believe it's at the same time also lol
Yo I made the craziest remake to this song I promise you this shit is fire🔥🔥 -

I'm telling you, the 80's was it's own era.
It sure was,I grew-up in this era of-GREAT-music and groups.LOVED it.
I was born in 2001 but to my ears music peaked in the 80s. 90s were cool and early 2000s but 80s is just peak
The sax solo is one of the greatest ever.❤
If you want everything in your life to be in order, your health,your relationships with family, friends and all your loved ones as well as kids
Trust in the name and the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father and The Holy Spirit.
Say this Prayer to ask God for Freedom in Christ Jesus.
●Say: Jesus Christ i ask you to please come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour, please Bless my soul and make me a true child of God.
Thank you for saving me and setting me free. In Jesus name. Amen
.
GOD LOVES YOU❤️❤
Cocaine really gave us so many timeless hit records

My little sister Candy, loved this song and everyone would sing along and point👉at her and say😁~"Just like Candy"~. Miss you little sis, wish you were still here to keep me on my toes ❤️!!!
May she forever rest in…candy 😂 sorry. But she understands the humor I pray 🤲🏽
Listen I was at a kid valentines party and this song was played. I tore that floor up lol electric slide n all😂😂😂😂😂. Nobody got on that dance floor until I did!!! Thank you cameo
The 70's, 80's, and 90's are some of the best music and sing along ballets ever. The reason why there are so many views and visitors nowadays, is because Generation X individuals like me, have given up on or are not interested with some of the music after the years of the 2000’s.
Playing this in my room, parents came in and said " TURN IT UP!!!!""""😂😂😂😂😂😂
it ain't a black party until you hear this song at least once through the night 😂💯
I’m not a DJ but every time I get on the set this song is a must ‼️🫵🏽🔥🔥🔥
FINALLY, I found it! Heard this on the radio, and didn't know who the original artists were until now. Thanks for sharing!!!
the beat is crazy and that lead singers voice is one of a kind
Killer beat swag funk and soul and everything a nice Guitar also not just the Sax
@@Musiclover-rt1ej it's all coming out these great tunes so much more to behold the end bit so cool with the Candy Foods the Lead says
Who is here in 2024??❤❤❤
I was there when this single came out on tape, I’m here today! What a bop!
Yo,😂. This was on British Netflix show One Day, brought the memories flooding back 😅
Who here in 2024, this jawn aint never finna get old, cuz its liKE CAND-DAE
Meeeeeee!!!! I was tearing up the dance floor back in the day to this!! Classic ☮️❤️💃🏼
Absolutely killed this at karaoke once. Ad-libs and everything. Went wild in the verse after the sax solo, stomping around on stage, probably my greatest achievement in life.
Funny! This is my jam on karaoke as well. The only song I'll do, besides Word Up...
Discovered this song on GTA San Andreas. Couldn't get enough of it.
Car jacking with this song in san andreas bounce fm one of the best gran thef auto song
Everyone when this song comes on:
“LINE UP!”
“WHICH WAY ARE WE GOING?!”
“WRONG WAY RESTART IT!”
“DONT STEP ON MY FEET!”
This is what we should show our kids when they ask: "What were the 1980s like?"
Just FANTASTIC! CAMEO, BOWIE, POLICE, MICHEAL JACKSON, PRINCE, QUEEN, SIMPLE MIND, ENDLESS GENIUSES………ANNIE LENNOX I mean the sky was the limit 😢
Great song from a much better era, in my opinion, more value for money and far less complex.
Through out all his disappointment towards his people, this is the one time God was pleased with his creation.
I'm sure you can name many more...Harriet, Malcolm...cmon don't make these comments.
@@chinaarlene7035 am sure he was especially disappointed with Harriet and Malcom.. slavery was a punishment from God himself upon his people but here goes good Ole Harriet going against God thinking she can set his people free. Moses did it but at least God sent him. Not to mention that deceiving Malcom x. Or am I the only one that know that Islam and Arabs was neck in neck buying and selling us into slavery.it was the Arabs through Islam that took us and sold us to the white man on ships. yet he (malcom) wanted us to go back into the Arab hand rather than the white man . News flash there is no lesser evil. So although it was a joke. This song became a uniting tool to black people. And thats a fact.
This is a mothafucking banger man!!! It will NEVER get old!
OMG You just hit a homerun with those comments TRUE DAT!!! This awesome classic is straight Fire I had to call the Fire department LOL!!Do you hear them coming??Still listenin how about May 08 2019
Anyone here in 2024?
Oh yeah. It's taken weeks to break thru the YT algorithm to get home
always gonna be here issa vibeee 🎉❤ my mama used to do this dance while pregnant wit me lmaoo i been dancin since in the womb fr 😂💯
This is a true dance beat with someone or by yourself.. It moves you.. You don't have to move to it!!
Imagine being this talented and confident. This song’s energy just oozes charisma.
No song structure in terms of a hook, wild video with a red crotch cup, and that damn glorious mustache. True confidence
That's because they could say hello to a woman without her pressing rape charges . That destroys THIS type of confidence.
That sax killed that jam
im so amazed this song is so dam good in 2024 much love
I hate dancing at a club when nobody's on the floor. But if this comes on idgaf it's me and Cameo
Nah gimme one drink and I'm dancing 😂 I may only be 21, but since the age of 5 I've been the first one dancing. From clubhouses on holidays, to family parties to the clubs now.
I cant help it. Music just clicks with me on another level and this track is sooo good for dancing
One of the best songs ever!! It's ridiculous!! Even decades later!! Holy hell!!
This will NEVER get played out! It's a timeless hit!!!
Songs that sampled Candy
Tupac: All About You
Will Smith: Candy
Mariah Carey: Loverboy
Jaquees: Come Thru
8Ball and MJG: Just Like Candy
Tru: I Got Candy
Beyonce: Before I Let Go
also beyonce's homecoming if you listen closely you can hear the exact same sax piece in her song
Will Smith did his own version of candy and it featured Cameo as well in his big Willie style CD
I'm a time traveller from the year 3000 and this is still a banger🔥🔥🔥
I'm glad to hear it! I hope people are still 'Candy-dancing' at weddings, funerals, bday parties and literally ANY OTHER important life event! 😂❤❤❤❤
If this song is not played at your wedding, y’all ain’t really married.
😂😂😂 best man made this a wedding anthem but mine was always a cookout if this wasn't played at cookout the food ain't good
The greatest music video ever made...so ahead of its time....from a film makers perspective in the 80's
Still played all over the world every single weekend, what a delight this is
36 years later and this song is Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
Damn 36. years old Thanks 4 telling me I'm still rocking it at 67 💜💃Go ME Timeless song
pulling up to the grove on ps2 bumping this shit man those was the days
Seen them,at Wembley, brilliant night ❤
Cameo was way ahead of its time…. Awesome
This video is a trip.
Soluchi {Michael Jackson Lookalike, Dancer, VFX} IM LOOKIN LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IS THIS ABSTRACT
John Shelly I was just thinking that...I feel high watching this 😂
My Dad loved Cameo. He was the life of the party. RIP
mmmmmm...????? cameo was a band and as far as i know their founder Larry Blackmon is still alive
Love the creativity in this video. These guys got balls to experiment new stuffs. I mean its the 80s.
The reason this song sounds like it does is that fing bass line. It’s pure gold
I could literally listen to this song all day. I love it so much!
Char candy and word up r my favorites for years and after the years of my life even when im gone to a better place i hope yah and yahway wont mind me jamin this with the angels
I loved Cameo for years, as a kid I owned most of their albums. It's the video I have a problem with. Lord knows i like my white chocolate babes, but I wouldn't give it up for my dark chocolate ones.
Mannnnnn that sax solo does something to me🎶🎼🎼🎷🎷🎷
this song sooooo hard for no reason‼️
This is one of those songs thats been part of yo whole life.
@@triplenaruto1 ay im happy for all yall we will never have rnb like this in the future. I gotta keep this alive
COCAINE OR NOT,THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS TASTE LIKE CANDY TO ME AND FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU CAMEO
the 80s was my era, and in 2024, I still leap up and dance to this - The Candy Routine is always guaranteed to fill the floor. (I even do it in my kitchen)
This song is classic. Whether it’s the version with lyrics or just the instrumental, they’re both classics..
It ain't black party until this song come on lol😂😂😂
Nah, there's 3. This song, Outstanding by the Gap Band, or Before I Let Go. You hear any one of those, you're at a Black party. #BlackPartyStaples
Who remembers this song from GTA S.A and still loves it to this day.
I remember breaking into a dance and telling my friend how beautiful this song is whiles he was driving a car in GTA
He looked at me like bro tf is this garbage
At that moment the boomer in me got activated.... Lolx

So far ahead of their time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes indeed ! Dancing to this fabulous track at Rene's in Tampa,nose full of "candy" ! Oh god I want to go back !
The only man in the world who can get a way with wearing a Red jock strap and still look cool
One of my favorite songs of all time!!!! Cameo slayed this song!!!! that bass! off the chain damn!!!! Lot of great memories as well😊
Metal, hip hop, jazz, R&B, funk, soul all in one? Tastes like candy...
Still my favorite Cameo song. It's so nostalgic. It reminds me of my mom and me driving my big sister to school when i was just like 4 or 5 years old and this song was always playing every morning 🌄 on the radio 📻 . Nostalgia hurts, man 😭
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this song 🥰❤️
Me either , it just sounds so much better on today's modern big amp 9,2 marantz and jamo speakers even the young ones of today think it's a new release 😂
Why hasn't Cameo been honored for the musical pioneers they are everyone uses thier hits
Listening in 2024🔥😘
I pull up to work once a week blasting this at 6-7 in the morning they go crazy every time 🤣🤣🤣
It’s officially 2023 🎉 and am still listening to this masterpiece ❤
Me too. I'm at work and I wanna just go home and go to bed but I can't🤓so this is my turn up music at work
Grooving this in 2020. Because its evergreen!
I've been playing this song on my Fender p bass all night!!!! 2 much fun. TASTES LIKE CANDY
Still playing this in 2024🎉
The most famous black song ever, no matter if you're African, Carribbean or black American this song is played in literally every single wedding I've ever been to no matter what their ethnicity is. The song that unites the African diaspora 👏🏽👏🏽
I'm a white dude from the suburbs and this song was the SHIT to us too!!! 💯❗
On the REAL, though... this song has a part in it that attracts EVERYONE that could listen to it, honestly. The beat got the black people, the keys got the Latin people, the guitars got the white people, the sax got the old people, the vocals got the young people, the effect synth got the weirdos, the melody got the normal people, etc, etc etc.
We ALL FALL to the spell that Cameo threw out, ya know?! That band was the great equalizer for about 8 months, when we were all happy and could all chill together. 💯
This song is already a timeless classic, but then when you watch the video, you can see for yourself, Larry Blackmon was a whole vibe! I can't say enough about Cameo, just so dope and funky!
The 80s - when a man could rock a red cod piece and thigh high boots like it was nothing.
That's Larry Blackmon. The legend himself. He's a wild dude. OOOOOOOW!!!😆
Right?! I wish men were this secure still. I love this "Devil may care" attitude of the 80s-early 90s
The last song I danced to with my mom before she died 4 days after her birthday 😞😕
I feel this song captures the essence of awkward young love. The off key singing, mixture of rock/rap/jazz, choppy beat convey a sense of exuberance and confusion. one of my favorite songs.
Just had the urge to revisit this classic 80s cut! It was and still is 🔥
Mans had on a red jock strap over a pair of prince tights.. just epic 👌🏾👏🏾
and yet he still told other's they were acting like fools. The 80's were a magical time.
I love this song people but the strawberry rasberry man looking like he's the pappy of lil Uzi vert who else agree I may be tripping
It's 2022 and this song STILL goes so hard!
Yep! it Halloween night 2022 it is raining heavily. Loving the moment to listen and dance a little! TY Cameo
*breaks out with The Electric Slide* 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I'm still rocking to this in 2024💃🏿🕺🏿
Thinking of my mommy.. this was her song.. rest in paradise.. love you
Mines too
It was my grandmas
I lost mines at 16 and I’m bumpin this at 21. They chillin listening to good music up there
Lauren Wright sorry for your loss ❤️
RIP
