Video Review:
"Stop press! Ash in suit shocker! That's right, indie rockers Ash have decided to smarten up for the video to their new single 'Candy' and, judging by this performance, have plans for a career in light entertainment. You may recognize the sample, lifted from The Walker Brothers' 60 classic 'Take It Easy On Yourself', and you may also recognize a few stars making cameo appearances in the video including Michael Jackson and George Michael. The video for 'Candy' - the latest single from the band's No.1 album 'Free All Angels' album - is a very tongue-in-cheek affair set at a glitzy wedding reception. It tells the story of Tim's attempts to seduce the waitress, Candy, while fronting the band employing various tricks"
What Ash Say
Shot with a host of look-a-likes, Ash perform as a wedding band. Tim catches the eye of a beautiful but clumsy waitress (I guess she's Candy?) who then wets herself... just watch it, It's great. There's plenty of comedy moments in this clip, especially when Rick's drum stick defies the laws of physics!
Mark Hamilton on the concept of the video:
"We recorded it in studios near the big brother house on the day before and night off Brian's victory, the video is set at a wedding reception in the
late 70's early 80's and very similar to the movie 'the wedding singer', it's all very tongue in cheek and by far the most comedy video we've done to date.
We got George Michael, Robert Di Nero and Michael Jackson all making cameos and it's all totally over the top."
