How Skippy Inspired a Marcy Playground Hit

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By March 18th of 1998…

Marcy Playground’s
“Sex and Candy”

was sitting at the top of alternative radio.

The song has almost has a hippie-like feel to it.

And that goes back to how lead singer John Wozniak grew up.

His father was a psychologist,

and his parents were deeply involved

in the spiritual movement of the 70s.

So as a kid,

it wasn’t that strange for him

to walk into the kitchen at 2:00 AM—

and see a monk, medicine man, or shaman

standing at the counter

with a spoon

and ajjar of Skippy.

Downtown by myself
And I had too much caffeine.” – Marcy Playground
