Julie and Candy Lyrics

A beautiful place!

You're putting me on!
We're going to try it, you ever try it?
You're putting me on!
I'm TURNING you on!
You're putting me on! Where did you get that stuff?
Oh, Nikki's growing a patch out in the backyard.
Come on, you're putting me on.
Yeah, he's putting you on, he's a brat!
Uh-huh. Sure, sure!

Standard disclaimer: BoC wanted fans to have their own subjective projections onto the music that they make. That said, I'll comment on impressions that tracks gave me personally.

Julie and Candy was eerie and omenous when I first heard it. Those flutes or whistles mixed with all those percussive samples was like some huge, mad, steam-driven contraption, larger than the mind can comprehend. The rhythm was very appealing to me, although I couldn't explain it in musical terms.

Seeing the title made it even eerier, since I had a Julie and candy memory standing out from my past, all formative and enduring; spooky, the way old memories can be.

go, Boards! -Phase

One of the most amazing BoC tunes, reminds me of girls playing skipping rope dancing games in the playground when I was a child.

It reminds me of a girl in a white dress with a matching sun hat running through a field of sunflowers...I dunno. It sure doesn't sound like a song about drug dealing. And I heard "You slay me Andre" too, now that you mention it :-P

julie and candy are probably members of hexagon sun. anyone have any idea where the vocal samples are from?

@sqyishybod vocal samples are from adult film "Summer of '72" (which is also the source of samples found in "Sixtyniner" / "Sir Prancelot Brainfire", "Niagara" and "P:C:"), There is a character duo named "Julie" and "Candy", so the title is probably a reference to them, not Hexagon Sun members
