Candy - Grieks vertaling

Iggy Pop - Candy (Official Video)

Director
Jeff Preiss

Iggy Pop performs with Kate Pierson in the music video "Candy" from the album "Brick by Brick," recorded for Virgin Records.
The music video begins with shots of storms and Iggy Pop playing his guitar and singing in a desert.
Kate Pierson sits in a bar wearing a blue dress and later stands on a stage before joining Pop in the song.

The narrator is a man (Pop) who grieves the loss of a love. Following the first chorus, the perspective of the woman (Pierson) is heard. Catherine Elizabeth Pierson (born April 27, 1948) is an American singer, lyricist, and one of the singers and founding members of
The B-52's.

She expresses, unbeknownst to the male, that she misses him too. According to Pop, the lyrics refer to a teenage girlfriend, Betsy:
I was looking back on my relationship with her, and I thought, ''Let's be fair. Let the girl have her say.''
I wanted a girl who would sing with a small-town voice, and Kate has a little twang that sounds slightly rural and naive.

The song was initially offered to Chrissie Hynde.
She said, "We didn't pull that off. And I always regretted that, because Iggy was always my number one when I was growing up.
And then he wrote this song, and he sent it to me. It was handwritten and everything. I don't know what I did to turn him off the idea, but I never heard from him again. And he ended up doing the song with Kate Pierson."
