Just Shoot Me #695

Ah, April 15th..... Tax day, a day most people hate. It seems appropriate that on this day in 1972, Sammy Davis Jr hit the Top 40 with "Candy Man". This may be in my Top 5 most hated songs... Even as a kid (I was 11 when it debuted), it would send me screaming for the channel changer... This one made it to #1 and seemed to dominate the airwaves for an eternity.....

"Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise); Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew); Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two; The Candy Man (the Candy Man); Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can); The Candy Man can 'Cause he mixes it with love And makes the world taste good (Makes the world taste good) "
