There are just SO MANY THINGS to love about the music video for Mandy Moore’s “Candy”. 

Here are the Top 7:

1. The CLOTHES.   Skinny cargos. Belly shirts. That WTF arm band. The Sketchers, good god the Sketchers.

2. The Volkswagen Beetles.  As a girl who drove a Volkswagen Beetle in high school, I can tell you, it was basically the coolest car you could have as a teenage girl. There wasn’t a lot about me that was cool (in fact, almost nothing about me was cool), but I did drive a light blue Beetle.

3. Mandy’s Aggressive Lip-Synching.  The poor thing probably gave herself jaw strain mouthing those lyrics so hard. Work it, girl.

4. The Hottest Guy Ever.  The guy Mandy is crushing on in this video is the total embodiment of EXACTLY what I thought was hot in high school. And, if we are going to be honest, still is. I also enjoy that he’s a skater instead of a regular jock. How edgy of you, Mands.

…

Via Baca. To whom I just sent this email:

um. baca.

two nights ago, i was lying in bed (drunk) thinking about this video and how much i hated it when it came out and how it gave no indication that mandy moore would actually grow up and turn out to be totally awesome instead of a coke-addled trainwreck.

these are the things i think about.
