Where is the original "Birth of a Candy Bar"?

[JoeDatesta]

I've read and heard a lot of imitations to "Birth of a Candy Bar". But they don't come close and they certainly don't do the original justice. If you do a search on youtube, you'll see a lot of butchered attempts.

Well, I remember the original and wish I could find it again. I think it was by Richard Troy, but I'm not even sure anymore. I haven't been able to find his original recording, if it was him. I remember hearing it on an album my friend had, but, since it wasn't mine, I have no clue what the album was called. Anyone know?

When it comes lyrics or parodies I've heard and loved, I have a photographic memory. It came out in the mid 80s. This is how the original went (Candy Bars involved are caps).

It was another PAYDAY and I was tired of being a MR. GOODBAR. So when I saw Ms. HERSHEY standing behind the POWERHOUSE on the corner of CLARK and FIFTH AVENUE. I whipped out my WHOPPER and whispered, "Hey, SWEETTART. How would you like to CRUNCH on my BIG HUNK for a MILLION DOLLAR BAR?"

Well she immediately went down on my TOOTSIE ROLL and, you know, it was like pure ALMOND JOY. I couldn't help but grab her delicious MOUNDS 'cause it was easy to see that this little TWIX had the RED HOTS. It was all I could do to hold back a SNICKER and a CRACKLE as my BUTTERFINGER went up her tight little KIT KAT and she started to scream, "OH HENRY! OH HENRY!"

Soon, she was fondling my PETER PAUL and ZAG NUTS and I knew it wouldn't be long before I blew my MILK DUDS clear to MARS and give her a taste of the old MILKY WAY. She asked if I was into M&Ms. I said, "Hey! CHICKLET, no kinky stuff."

I said, "Look you little REESE PIECE, don't be a ZERO; be a LIFESAVER. Why don't you take my WATCHAMACALLIT and slip it up your BIT-O-HONEY?" Oo what a piece of JUICYFRUIT she was too. She screamed, "Oh, CRACKERJACK! You're better than the THREE MUSKATEERS!" As I rammed my DING DONG up her ROCKY ROAD into her PEANUT BUTTER CUP.

Well, I was giving it to her GOOD & PLENTY when all of a sudden, my STARBURST. Yeah, as luck would have it, she started to grow a bit CHUNKY and complained of a WRIGLEYS in her stomach. Sure enough, nine months later, out popped a BABY RUTH.

Thanks,
JD

Try searching for "The Candy Wrapper Song".

[DisneyWizard the Fantasmic!]

This I wrote to Kip Addotta perhaps he will respond:
Whilst searching for "Candy Rapper" the song derived from a Richard Troy poem "Birth of a Candy Bar", I surfed you first because the style reminded me of Wet Dream, but I couldn't find it on your list of CDs or titles.

I have suggestions for inclusion to the list at http://www.kipaddotta.com/sweets/candy-bar.html:
Chic-o-stick, by NECCO, while technically a honeycombed peanut butter candy bar, it contains no chocolate.
Pound Plus, three varieties of .5 kilo chocolate bar available at Trader Joe's.

It would most likely be out of line to ask YOU who sang this: http://youtu.be/S0lk14moOus
But it would certainly be fine to point out my quest was sparked by the question posed on the uusenet newsgroup news:rec.music.dementia on 10/20/2012 by "JoeDatesta" <***@gmail.com> who wrote in message news:8c97aa4e-7cc6-4032-b443-***@googlegroups.com...

The version that was popular on Dr. D in the mid 80s on KMET and KLSX (but not played on the national show at that time) was "Candy Rapper" by Bird & MacDonald. It sounds like you remember a slightly different version though. Their LP doesn't say they got the idea from anywhere else, it just credits them with writing it, but that doesn't prove it didn't come from somewhere else. They also did other similar things like "Burger Rap" and "Beer Nuts".

I was a little girl in 1969 when we jumped rope at school singing a similar song. But, ours did not have some of these candies, instead we had sugar daddy & sugar babies. So, whoever made this song was not the originator. Because, one key verse was mmm, mmm good.

Again, this is not the original. I was a teenager in the 70s & a grown woman by the 80s. I jumped roped in the 60s to a completely different candy bar rap. It included Good and Plenty, Mr Good bar, Oh Henry, Paydays, Milkyway, 5th Ave, Clark, M & Ms, Baby Ruth, Sugar Daddy, & others.
