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...)

Well, from what I've re-imported of my iTunes collection so far:

Candy Everybody Wants - 10,000 Maniacs
Candy - Ash
Candygirl - Babybird
Candy's Room - Bruce Springsteen
So Like Candy - Elvis Costello
Candy - Jackson Browne
Candy Man - Roy Orbison

I suppose it doesn't count since it's a traditional song anyway, but < href="http://www.mathie.demon.co.uk/tr/">Tim Rose claimed ownership of the arrangement of 'Hey Joe' that Hendrix turned into a hit (and bitched incessantly about not getting a penny of royalties for it when I met him).
