Candy Cane Lane - Sia

Of all the Christmas songs which have been recorded, only the best can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians and at number 8 we have Candy Cane Lane by Sia.

The second entry for Sia but i do have a lot of time for her, not only is she wonderfully whacky but her 'Everyday Is Christmas' CD is chock full of brilliant Christmas songs, this one being one of my favourites.
Candy Canes are no so much of a feature over here in the UK, the red and white stripes make me think of a Barber Shop more than a Festive sweet but Candy Cane Lane conjures up images of a snowy street lined with the walking stick shaped treats even if it is sang by Sia in a way that sounds as if her voice has been sped up slightly but that just makes her sound like a child, which is cute.
I guess the nearest thing we have to Candy Canes is Seaside Rock which is the same thing only Summery and much thicker and usually has the name of the resort running through it but Candy Cane Lane conjures up a better image than Rock Road but either way, both are sickly sweet and will rot your teeth while you listen to this wonderfully bouncy, cheerful effort.
