I was biking to breakfast this morning and this came up on my iPod. I was quite amused to hear the mention of cotton candy that I hadn't previously noticed.

Babylon Sisters
Lyrics by Steely Dan

Drive west on sunset
To the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we’re out of town
This is no one night stand
It’s a real occasion
Close your eyes and you’ll be there
It’s everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I’m the only one

Here come those santa ana winds again

We’ll jog with show folk on the sand
Drink kirschwasser from a shell
San francisco show and tell
Well I should know by now
That it’s just a spasm
Like a sunday in t.j.
That it’s cheap but it’s not free
That I’m not what I used to be
And that love’s not a game for three

Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I’m the only one

My friends say no don’t go
For that cotton candy
Son you’re playing with fire
The kid will live and learn
As he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return

Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I’m the only one

  • I'm ashamed to add this to the list, but here goes:

    Tootsie Roll by the 69 Boyz
    Cotton candy, sweet and low, let me see that tootsie roll

    There is also a song called Cotton Candy by the Insane Clown Posse, but their cotton candy references are definitely a euphemism for, uhhh, well, I'll leave that to your imaginations.

    I found a song called Cotton Candy by a group named Venice:

    Hey Cotton Candy
    Are you really who you claim to be?
    Did you speak the same language
    When you were twelve?
    Sweet Cotton Candy
    Your favorite song is on the radio
    Where the middle, just like the end,
    Sounds like the beginning

    Well you say you hate the opposite
    But you sway like the opposite
    So affected, are you infected by the groove
    Yes I'll buy you a drink 'cause you entertain me
    There'll be no judgement
    We've all our cross to bear
    Yeah we do

    Oh Pink Cotton Candy
    All the taxi drivers know your name and address
    What a mess, you've torn your dress
    Oh Blue Cotton Candy
    Did your Daddy hug you at the door?
    Did your momma lend you her pearls and her perfume?

    With your moonbeams and radiance
    How you still love an audience
    And while you were talking
    The run in your stocking ran away
    Yes I'll buy you a drink 'cause you entertain me
    There'll be no judgement
    We've all our cross to bear

    Cotton Candy, sweet Cotton Candy
    Pink Cotton Candy, blue Cotton Candy

    There is also an Elvis song called Cotton Candy Land:
    Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
    To sprinkle you with sand
    He'll say "one, two, three"
    And you'll be, In cotton candy land

    Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
    He'll take you, by the hand
    And you'll ride upon, a big white swan
    In cotton candy land

    You and the swan will float upon
    A cloud of pink ice cream
    Where every star is a candy bar
    And the moon is a marshmallow dream

    Sandman's comin', yes he's comin'
    Take his magic hand
    Now goodnight...now sleep tight
    In cotton candy land

    In cotton candy land
