He has appeared on many of Williams Street Studios' shows on Adult Swim, most notably Aqua Teen Hunger Force (as the crude and often misguided MC Pee Pants) and Sealab 2021 (in some bit parts, consistently recurring as the also crude and often misguided Hesh), and a part in The Brak Show. He also wrote for Sealab 2021 and The Brak Show, and later lent a track to the online music game Flash Flash Revolution.
Chris has released ten albums, the first of which is downloadable for free on his website. The albums are:
[2001] Life's A Bitch and I'm her Pimp
[2003] Knowing is Half the Hassle
[2004] Eating's Not Cheating (Re-Released in 2005 with additional tracks)
[2006] Dungeon Master of Ceremonies
[2008] mc chris Is Dead
[2009] Part Six Part One/Two/Three
[2011] Marshmellow Playground
[2011] Race Wars
[2014] Foreverrr
[2016] mc chris is dreaming
He completed several successful tours across the U.S. In October of 2004, he announced his resignation from Cartoon Network to the public on his blog to focus on his recording career (roughly halfway through the entry), but has said that he is willing to return to William Street when needed. He has since toured throughout the continental United States in an effort to expose all of America to the growing genre of nerdcore rap. mc chris encourages fans to mix his songs and play their own role in the growth of what is a relatively new genre.
In January of 2006, mc chris was a nominee for Spin Magazine's "Band of the Year" contest at Spin.com. But after gaining an over 20% margin in his first round battle with Demander, the voting was suspiciously shut down "for maintenance" and when it came back online Demander had been declared the winner. Demander has since denounced the results.
I Want Candy
MC Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want candy, bubble gum, and taffy
Skip to the sweet shop with my sweetheart Sandy
Got my pennies saved so I'm her sugar daddy
I'm her Hume Cronyn and she's my Jessica Tandy, I want candy!
put it in a pile, split it with my bitty 50/50 down the line
I'm talkin liquorice kisses, talkin chocodile smiles
I want candy, I got a sugar tooth
Put on your shin gaurds, Sandy, 'cause I wanna knock boots
Lick my peppermint stick til' the lollipop droops
Gumdrop that don't stop til' its licked knot loose
(ladies)
Candy... candy...
I need candy bubble gum, and taffy
Get in my way punk, you're gonna get ya ass beat, nasty
Do it till your dad sees, embarrass your whole family
Just 'cause you came between a kid and his candy
I need candy, any kind'll do
Don't care if it's nutritious or "FDA approved"
It's gonna make me spaz like bobcats on booze
A hyperactive juice that only I can produce
And fuel a giant drill, bore straight into Hell
Releasing ancient demons from their sleep forever spell
So they can walk upon the earth, and get resituated
And Hock the diet pills that MC Pee Pants has created
I need candy, want some candy, eat candy til' I'm dead
I'll kill you for some candy, give me candy, candy head!
Where you keepin' all the candy?!
Who made you candy king?!
If you don't give me some candy, I will make the ladies sing!
(ladies)
Candy, in tha morning, candy on the way to school
Candy, at school, at lunch in the afternoon
Candy, its good, on your way home from school
Candy, at diner,at dinner, in bed!
Mess up the mix, mix up the mess
Come on down yo, here's the address
At 6-1-2 Wharf Avenue,
Right next to, gentlemen's club.
MC Chris's "I Want Candy" features lyrics that are quite straightforward- it's a song about craving and desiring candy. The song starts off by highlighting the specific candies that the singer wants - bubble gum, taffy and candy- and his desire to go to the store with his sweetheart Sandy. He compares himself to Hume Cronyn (Canadian-American actor) and her to his wife Jessica Tandy (English-American actress) in order to illustrate how much he loves her. The chorus revolves around the simple phrase "I want candy" and the rapper further reveals that he is willing to split it with his girlfriend. The verse describes his insatiable sugar tooth, his desire to have candy no matter how unhealthy it may be, and how he will react to it ("make me spaz like bobcats on booze").
The latter half of the song feels like a departure from the initial theme, as it talks about a drill, digging into Hell and freeing ancient demons. The change in the lyrics is attributed to The Aqua Teen Hunger Force Show which often matched a lot of MC Chris's songs, adding to the humourous and absurdity of the song. Its fandom also propelled the song into becoming a classic. However, this song was not featured on any of MC Chris's albums but was later added to other compilation albums.
