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...)

Also Husker Du - Candy Apple Grey. Don't know if it counts since it's an album rather than a song. Which I know about entirely because I Googled for it, because of...

The PWEI song is called "Candydiosis". I think it's relevant enough in this thread to quote the entire lyrics.

Pop Will Eat Itself - Candydiosis

Candy says, candy girls, candy apple grey
Psychocandy, candy man eats candy every day
Candy this and candy that whenever I'm out walking
I wish I could go through the day without some candy talking

What's so fucking good, what's so fucking good about candy?
(Psychocandy, candy girl, candy man, candy talking)
