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...)

I know Seasons in the Sun was a Jacques Brel song, though I don't know if translations count as covers? Beaver Patrol was originally by garage punk band The Wilde Knights in 1965. Oddly enough it didn't get much airplay...

All this made wan't to hear 'Lisa Says'; which is good because at first I thought it was 'Candy Says', then 'Stephanie Says', so I've just listened to all three.

(I knew I wanted to hear "$GIRL says on a night like this/It'd be so nice if you'd give me a kiss', but I was confused about who $GIRL was. Fortunately I have them all here.)
