Candy Store Songs
« on: April 03, 2014, 11:42:46 AM »
My father is a couple months away from opening his very first business. He's opening a candy store in Bellevue, KY just across the river from Cincinnati, OH and asked for some help coming up with a large list of songs about candy for his shop. I thought I'd crowd-source the effort a little and ask you fine people. I have a list of songs I already thought of below, but I'm sure there are loads more out there. We're trying to stay away from most hip hop/rap songs mostly because of lyrical content (but "Tootsie Roll" gets to stay), but other than that, have at it! They don't have to be specifically about candy, but the more related the better.
 
Current list as of 4/3/14:
 
Ohio Express - Yummy Yummy Yummy
69 Boyz - Tootsie Roll
Mary Poppins - Spoonful of Sugar
The Searchers - Sugar and Spice
Sammy Davis Jr. - The Candy Man
George Morgan - Candy Kisses
Dorsey Burnette - Big Rock Candy Mountain
Bow wow wow - I want Candy
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermint
The Archies - Sugar Sugar
The Chordettes - Lollipop
Cameo - Candy
George Hamilton - Rose and a Baby Ruth
Mindy Carson - Candy and Cake
Millie Small - My Boy Lollipop
The Cars - Candy-O
Led Zeppelin - Candy Store Rock

I'm assuming Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground is out?
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

The Game of Love (Santana featuring Michelle Branch), while not about a specific candy, does mention a candy store several times.
