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 🙏🏽
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.
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.

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
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 👏🏽👏🏽
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. 💯
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.
Cameo did that incredible thing of making fantastic 80's pop records that are also great songs with great players involved too - fantastic band, in all of their line-ups
This good music will never be heard again, todays music is just full of bad words, cusing , calling women all kind of ugly names, SO YEAH YOUR RIGHT WE WILL NEVER HEAR THIS TYPE OF MUSIC EVER EVER AGAIN, so I enjoy this music on RUclips all from the 70-80's..... watching some on SOUL TRAIN remember that ...😊thank God for RUclips
This was the last song I saw my auntie dance to in 2021. Today is her birthday. RIP, Auntie T, hope you're dancing up there!! 💃 You'll always be remembered.
Not controls but UNITES. We can see more days like this once we get rid of the people that fights to DIVIDE and CONQUER the people with politics and media.
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 😂
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
My ex fiance and the love of my life passed away 3 days ago and we loved listening to this song together. I even learned the bass line for him. He'd always jokingly start singing "the stuff is starting now" and we'd laugh to ourselves. I'm so glad I met him and whenever I hear this song I think of him. Love & Miss you Shannon.
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

One of the most complete and baddest funk groups of all time. This particular album, of which I own about 3 copies on vinyl, spans different genres and musical styles. Additionally, the incredible contributions of fabulous artists such as Bernard Wright and Kenny Garrett is further testimony of a truly outstanding output. WORD UP!
Man the Best time in life. When everything seemed fun ,happy, cool innocent, trendy, expressive, no worries, no worrying about money or keeping up with trends.
0:26 YOU'RE SO TENDER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The guy in the shades and latex outfit who pops up and gives serious attitude is one of many reasons this video is ICONIC. Also this song has a guitar solo 2:01 AND a sax solo 2:52
Just discovering today that this is about coke. Been listening to it for like 30 years. Don't care what it's about tbh. Never listened to the words and don't plan to start. Yesterday I danced to this with my ENTIRE extended family, all generations, all shades of black, brown and white at my uncle's funeral. Was amaaaazing! Literally couldn't care less what it's about and will carry on dancing to it every time I hear it! 😄💃🏾
In literary criticism that's called the intentional fallacy, the idea that whatever the writer intended is what the song is about. We don't have to buy into that bullshit
I never heard it was about coke. But many things have duelistic meanings. Even if it is about coke my enjoyment is not tied to the morality of any idea like that. All I know is its like candy and I can feel it when you walks and even when you talk it takes over me!

The entire week leading up to my nephew being born, I had this song stuck in my head and I sing it to him all the time now that he's here. "There's no mistaking, I'm clearly taken by the simple mere thought of you" Couldn't say it any better myself. I love that boy more than anything. Thanks to Cameo for making such a good song. 💕
@@vitosiaosi5001 One of the lead singers actually commented on a live performance of the song here on RUclips and he said it's not about drugs like everybody thinks, it's about love. If YOU really want it to be drugs, you go ahead.
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!
This is one of the rare songs that I can literally play over and over and not get sick of it. Songs today are forgotten tomorrow. People think that those that love the 80s love it just because of a sentimental reason or nostalgia, but man, songs like this, are timeless, and so damn many were made in those days.

I first heard Cameo 20 years when I was 8 when my mom was bumping this while we were cleaning the house, I love 80s-90s music...
Jasmille Gilpin facts
And the band was bumping something else.
Jasmille Gilpin I love it
The only man in the world who can get a way with wearing a Red jock strap and still look cool
It's called a codpiece
You’re forgetting the thigh-high boots
@@Konstant ha ha yes
We've obviously never met.
@@michaelolin2219 Ha ha! good answer - Keep safe Michael
The beauty of it is you can make it to be about just anything you feel sweet about.
That's how I always felt...
Shdk7
It's about cocaine
0:26 YOU'RE SO TENDER!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The guy in the shades and latex outfit who pops up and gives serious attitude is one of many reasons this video is ICONIC.
Also this song has a guitar solo 2:01 AND a sax solo 2:52
This song will be played at my reception.. I love seeing my family get down to this, 2019 and I'm still jamming
Preach. This is getting played at my wedding reception too.
This song was played at my cousins reception a week ago
Just discovering today that this is about coke. Been listening to it for like 30 years. Don't care what it's about tbh. Never listened to the words and don't plan to start. Yesterday I danced to this with my ENTIRE extended family, all generations, all shades of black, brown and white at my uncle's funeral. Was amaaaazing!
Literally couldn't care less what it's about and will carry on dancing to it every time I hear it! 😄💃🏾
In literary criticism that's called the intentional fallacy, the idea that whatever the writer intended is what the song is about. We don't have to buy into that bullshit
🤣
I never heard it was about coke. But many things have duelistic meanings. Even if it is about coke my enjoyment is not tied to the morality of any idea like that. All I know is its like candy and I can feel it when you walks and even when you talk it takes over me!
@@Detroitblue Hahahahahaha 🤣I know right. Irony here is, it is actually about a drug. Still my song though.
Saca la bolsita
80s had the best music.
One of the few songs that continually make me smile and feel good.
If you are Black at any family event you know that this song and the Electric Slide will happen. DANCE!! Be Family. ENJOY!!
The Tootsie Roll,The Wobble,The Stanky Leg,The Dougie,The Cupid Shuffle,The Electric Slide,The Cha Cha Slide,Get Silly,Crank Dat Soulja Boy,Lean Wit it Rock Wit it,The Kat Daddy,Get Down On It, etc.

I pray everyone's life gets back to normal and blessings occurs through this terrible pandemic🙏🏽🙌🏽❤
🙏🏾❤️
I know this songs about cocaine but I love the beat and the lyrics
Yes Lord!🙏
not y'all using the panini for likes and validation online!
I think that’s why I’m going crazy over this one I need some understanding
Man...this song, one of my favorite things in the whole world.
Been singing this in the shower for 30+ years....I'm good.
The entire week leading up to my nephew being born, I had this song stuck in my head and I sing it to him all the time now that he's here.
"There's no mistaking, I'm clearly taken by the simple mere thought of you"
Couldn't say it any better myself. I love that boy more than anything.
Thanks to Cameo for making such a good song. 💕
🙏👍🏿
One of the best songs ever
That’s wassup❤️💯😁🤜🤛
That’s lovely 😊
@@vitosiaosi5001 One of the lead singers actually commented on a live performance of the song here on RUclips and he said it's not about drugs like everybody thinks, it's about love. If YOU really want it to be drugs, you go ahead.
Gettin married in 2021 and this song will be played at our wedding!!!
They don’t make hits like this no more 80sbaby
Congrats! It was played in the reception scene in The Best Man and it was lit 🔥🔥🔥
Nope they Don't
Congrats bro. That wedding is gonna be 🔥
You do know this song is about cocaine so your wedding is gonna be off the hook definitely 🤣🤣😂😂😂
Hello. 911? Yeah someone just stole my coke.
Stole your coke eh?
You sit right there I’ll dispatch an officer.
That saxophone 🎷 GETS ME EVERYTIME ! 🔥🔥
THIS IS WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC THIS MUSIC THESE DAYS DON'T MAKE NO SENSE
I love the electric guitar solo.at 2:30!
I love the sax and guitar solo
That unbelievable sax riff was by Michael Brecker, a 15-Grammy award winner, who died in 2007 at 57 from a blood disorder.
@@bonnibling wow I didn't know that
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!
COCAINE OR NOT,THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS TASTE LIKE CANDY TO ME AND FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU CAMEO
Taking my appetite... But its alright.
@@Treatsandthreadscom right that’s the part that got me.
You hit it Right on the nose
@@silasbaby96 OMG! 💀
This is one of the rare songs that I can literally play over and over and not get sick of it. Songs today are forgotten tomorrow.
People think that those that love the 80s love it just because of a sentimental reason or nostalgia, but man, songs like this, are timeless, and so damn many were made in those days.
PromotingTheBeat I have nostalgia for 80s music and I was born in 2001.
Indeed I Do!!!
Cameo, Gap Band, Lakeside, Parliament, Sugarhill....
60 and I'll crank 'em up everytime 😎
