Candy Flip - This Can Be Real

[@atomsmasha]

Absolutely the most fun I've ever had making a video. I recruited everyone I knew. The producer (he's on the phone next to me), my ex-girlfriends, all my mates (Steve, Chris, Lee, Mole...to name but a few) stood on a conveyor belt and "performed" as they passed the camera. We originally wanted to shoot it in one take - but ended up cutting it. It was summer, we were young, it was great. Not the best video I've ever made - but the most enjoyable. Miles

[@dollcefina]

Were you the video director, Miles? Fancy seeing you here on KZbin! :D Oh wait, you commented like 13 years ago, lol... Thank you for giving us this adorable little slice of happy Madchester heaven!

[@dollcefina]

OMG . . . Just went to your channel and got introduced to Charlotte Cheng ! ! ! THIS IS THE ASIAN ONE-WOMAN BAND INSPIRATION I NEEDED. It is truly inspiring to see someone who looks like me, making amazing music like this, all by herself in her little room. Maybe this COVID-19 lockdown doesn't have to be all doom & gloom after all... Better get to work on my mic and keyboard and CUBASE 10. THANK YOU ! ! !

@@dollcefina Hi, this is Miles again (with another of my KZbin accounts). Dear God, I can't believe I first commented 13 years ago! Crazy. Glad you enjoyed it. Great days - particularly as I hung out with the band when they were in London. Two wonderful artists. This song should have been huge.

[@sinwithsebastian]

@@filmfestdistribution6452 in my world it was huge, I listen to it and the whole album over and over again, and I absolutely love the video!!!

[@atomsmasha]

@Nostalgic Tunes Agree. It was a great tune and a perfect pop song. The guys in the band were so cool and friendly too.

[@MoeSlislack]

I remember listening to this when I was 17 back in like 1992. this was 1 of my favorite cd's.

[@RetroCool73]

Obviously made on a budget of about 10p, but this does - for better or worse - reflect the baggy rave scene of the summer of 1990 as it was. Great tune that deserved to be a hit, and did get plenty of airplay on "One FM".

[@no6of1]

ZEITGEIST ! I love these Band´s - RAVE ON RAVE ON LUTION !!!! It was a very short time of RE ...Flowerd Up, Inspiral C, Happy M, Charlatans, Stone r, State.......LOVE IT !!!!

[@ThisCharmingFan]

bloody hell, i forgot these two had more than that one beatles cover as a hit. I forgot about this. brings back memories.

[@iainherd]

You had to be around at the time in the uk, long time ago but a great time and this invokes some great memories.

[@7brokenribs]

I miss being 8 in England and listening to this in summer time

[@troyturner982]

Absolutely love this track, not heard it in years. Happy memories

[@stewartk6]

How cute are they! Love it! Memories from 18 years ago! Where are they now?

[@EYEronikEYEkonik]

Dizzie Dee is now Danny Mekanik DJing in Barcelona. AKA Sure is Pure, Soul Mekanik, organising parties under the name wOnK 👍🏻

[@chrishrycyk5797]

Baggy drum beats...were hot in the 90s

[@letgr00ve]

Miles, the video is great....I remember 1990 when I moved to London, and went dance at Heaven....good times....here in Brasil nobody knows Candy Flip...=(

[@JoeyGonzalezFineArt]

I always wondered why it was so tough to get this Album in the USA at the not inflated price.

[@gaz66chris]

im 35 now...i miss.....my youth....i miss drugs.....i miss being generally young and care free! growing up sucks!!!

[@liliencalvel6151]

Chris Day Yes! It does.

[@CarbonatesOnMars]

I’m 48 in a few days, it does not get easier.

[@bloodgush25]

[@cantforgetyou]

Super song and production. I love the bleepy sounds from the keyboard.

[@pessimystica]

this is definitely a feel good song. i've never heard it, but i already luv that early 90s Brit scene, so i dig it!

[@videogamesconsole.it_2006]

Erano anni che cercavo questa canzone bellissima! Grazie!!!!! Avevo 15 anni !!!!

[@dollcefina]

Number 60. Shame that. Great little catchy song. Think Ric Peet is a funny guy!

[@christianfurr7971]

The art direction on this is amazing.

[@0FlyingSwede0]

lol i cant help but laugh the name of this band comes from the term candy flippin' which is to take lsd and exstacy at the same time, and it toootally makes sense with the kind of videos and lyrics these guys have. its great.

[@dollcefina]

Ohhhhh I see! I was wondering what it referred to. (Never taken drugs myself...)

[@nikkivisser987]

gr8 d .good artwork. album tracks are groovy too including "ask why"' and "love is life".

[@rudyrudy6882]

Thank you for your time, oh I miss those time 🙏🇧🇪

[@dfunky2580]

God I spent that summer so god damn high, in fact previous summer as well prob a few after that as well. Flipped my candy a few times but always had the green to put me back on earth. Remember kids avoid drugs u don't want to turn out like me with all these great memories a good job great kids and lovely partner. Fell the love and be happy

[@7777Jah1]

[@ignaciodelrio.7536]

[@GAZZA251170]

This version is much better than the version on their album "madstock"

[@dollcefina]

Y'know, you're right. Album version's okay, but this one's better! :D Album version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnmbkn5qlrl9mJY

[@varondandy]

[@iscream22]

@zoe1974 then why are you watchin it dude? I'm from the usa too and I think the madchester/uk scene had great songs.

[@SEAN1983PHEANIS]

you're argument is that millions of people look up drug videos on youtube. Genius boy. No need for hating what you aren't a part of. Don't drugs teach you that?

[@SEAN1983PHEANIS]

you're argument is that millions of people look up drug videos on youtube. Genius boy.

[@malcolmhartley5031]

[@2engjnr2]

Man I always wondered why Sebasien Vettel looked so familiar...

[@questguess69]

Love it according to it's own merits.

[@klinsmeier]

I like Sebastian Vettel tripping there.

[@atomsmasha]

I agree - great art director. Wonder what became of him?

[@dollcefina]

^ LOL ! ! ! ;D Well, so have you made any more vids lately, Miles??

[@thisbambibites]

They were from Stoke on Trent, hence the album title 'Madstoke'.

[@dollcefina]

No, the album is called *_MADSTOCK..._* (like Woodstock). Look here: kzbin.info/aero/PLP59Fs_hB7C0FqW4NDWOkVMsuwMpK6LTd

what is this a cover of? I don't know of a Beatles song called "This Can Be Real" and it's not gay! it's just happy

[@red1964]

All their own work. I miss 1990 :(

[@FiredUpPranks]

That was their other song "Strawberry Fields Forever "

[@moondoggieist]

This was one they actually wrote !!

[@dollcefina]

If it were called 'This Can Be Unreal' it could be a Lennon-esque Beatles song . . . ;D

[@FiredUpPranks]

Is that Russell Crowe at 1:09?

[@pauldunneska]

Definitely not.

[@Rockaria23]

@gunthoro you're the one who's using youtube to look at drugs. No need to rip on something you don't relate to.

[@thebenjimans]

[@bartlettandbosc]

This isn't Rave. It's "Baggy". Very homosexual "Baggy".
