Candy Queen (Remastered)

Psychedelic funk-pop: filthy elastic deep bass guitar, syncopated live drums, crisp claps, Latin-inflected hand percussion, sharp muted funk guitar; glossy stacked vocal doubles; charismatic female lead in a high, light upper register, crooning legato phrasing with playful rhythmic turns and powerful melodic hooks; 124 BPM dance groove with dynamic breaks, swirling filtered vocal vortex, then a massive bass return

# Sweet Tooth: Candy Queen

[Intro — thick elastic bass riff, syncopated percussion, sharp guitar accents]
[Soft layered female vocals]
Ooh, ooh
Something sweet...

[Spoken — smiling]
Come on in.
Try not to get addicted.

[Verse 1 — rhythmic, seductive, playful]
Midnight, neon on the street
Got a line around the block for something sweet
Red lips, sugar on my tongue
Everybody wants a taste of what I've got

Glass jars glitter in the light
Got a little something different every night
You can point to anything you see
But the sweetest thing in here is me

[Pre-Chorus — rising harmonies, building percussion]
One taste, now you're coming back
Can't quit what you never had
Hands out, everybody wants a piece
But I don't give my sugar out for free

[Chorus — massive elastic bass, soaring melodic hook]
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Baby, what's your weakness?
Candy queen, candy queen
Come and taste the sweetness

Sugar rush, head to toe
One more bite, you lose control
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Everybody wants a piece of me

[Post-Chorus — infectious layered vocals]
Too sweet! (Too sweet!)
Can't get enough
Too sweet! (Too sweet!)
I like it when it's rough

[Verse 2 — driving bass groove, playful menace]
Cherry red, black licorice
Pick your poison, tell me what you wish
You say you're only looking, that's a lie
You've been staring at the counter all night

I got honey for the ones who play nice
Something bitter if you ask me twice
You can beg, you can get down on your knees
But you don't get to take the crown from me

[Pre-Chorus — layered harmonies, percussion builds]
One taste, now you're coming back
Can't quit what you never had
Hands out, everybody wants a piece
But I don't give my sugar out for free

[Chorus — full bass, drums, stacked harmonies]
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Baby, what's your weakness?
Candy queen, candy queen
Come and taste the sweetness

Sugar rush, head to toe
One more bite, you lose control
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Everybody wants a piece of me

[Dance Break — 16 bars]
[Filthy syncopated bass riff and punchy live drums]
[Interlocking hand percussion and sharp muted guitar]
[Layered breathy vocal fragments: "Sweet tooth... candy queen..."]
[Rhythmic stutters and swirling filtered vocal harmonies]
[Hollow shimmering vortex builds, then sudden silence]
[Huge bass groove snaps back in]

[Bridge — stripped percussion, sensual vocal harmonies]
You came in looking for a treat
Now you're falling at my feet
I don't need to cast a spell
You already know me well

[Spoken — amused]
You want another?

[One-beat silence]

[Spoken]
Get back in line.

[Final Chorus — explosive, soaring layered harmonies]
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Baby, what's your weakness?
Candy queen, candy queen
Come and taste the sweetness

Sugar rush, head to toe
One more bite, you lose control
Sweet tooth, sweet tooth
Everybody wants a piece of me

[Outro — extended bass-driven dance groove]
Too sweet! (Too sweet!)
Can't get enough
Too sweet! (Too sweet!)
Never enough

[Spoken — smiling]
Happy Halloween, sweetheart.

[Final bass hit]
[End]
