"Candy"/"Molly's Lips" is a vinyl-only split-single from the American rock bands The Fluid and Nirvana. It was released in January 1991 on Sub Pop records and includes two live tracks: "Candy" by The Fluid; and "Molly's Lips", a cover of a song by The Vaselines, performed by Nirvana. Background "Candy" first appeared on The Fluid's 1990 EP, Glue. The EP was re-released on CD in 1993 along with their 1989 album, Roadmouth. "Molly's Lips" was recorded live on February 9, 1990, at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Oregon. It was written by the Scottish band The Vaselines about Molly Weir, according to band member Eugene Kelly, presumably because her Rentaghost television character Hazel McWitch typically appeared in whiteface with emphatic red lips. According to Michael Azerrad's 1993 Nirvana biography Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, the band's singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain was opposed to the release of the track, feeling that this version was not strong. However, the single constituted part of the band's buyout deal from their former record label, Sub Pop Records. "Candy/Molly's Lips" was Nirvana's final release on Sub Pop Records. The word "Later" is etched into the single's run-out groove. A remix of this version of Molly's Lips was included on the 2009 reissue of the Nirvana debut album Bleach. Nirvana also recorded a studio version of "Molly's Lips" on BBC Radio 1 for John Peel in October 1990 during drummer Dave Grohl's first recording session with the band. It appeared on the 1992 tour EP Hormoaning, and was included on the rarities compilation Incesticide. This version was released as a 12" vinyl promotional single in Brazil, to promote Incesticide. Composition "Molly Lips" is an uptempo alternative rock song that lasts for a duration of two minutes and nineteen seconds. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a fast tempo of 160 beats per minute. "Molly Lips" is composed in the key of G Major, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans from the low-note of F3 to the high-note of E4. The song follows a basic sequence that alternates between the chords of G5 and C5 during the verses, at its chorus and all throughout as its chord progression.
