Candy this and candy that whenever I'm out walking

Bored on Friday? Wanna help me think of some playlists?

Today I'm looking for:-

Songs with the word Candy in the title
Songs that are covers but which people assume are the original because the original is so obscure. Beaver Patrol is a classic example.
Cover versions of Kick Out The Jams, I know loads of people have covered it, but who?

(For extra points MP3s of tracks I haven't got would be very welcome, but strictly optional. I would do quite a lot for an MP3 of the original Beaver Patrol...)

Songs with the word Candy in the title

'Some Candy Talking', JAMC, obviously.
'I Want Candy', Bow Wow Wow, obviously.
'Candy Girl', New Edition, painfully.
Apparently Mandy Moore and Kelis, among others have both done songs called 'Candy'.
Oh, and 'Sex And Candy' by Marcy Playground, of course.
And I think Counting Crows have one called 'Hard Candy'...

As for covers, the things I never knew were covers are 'Tainted Love', 'No Regrets' by Midge Ure, 'Oh L'Amour' by Erasure...can't think of any more just now, though.

I'm not actually familiar with Marcy Playground - should I be?

And yes, No Regrets was the other obvious one I was trying to remember - thanks.
