“Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground.

Not even their best song but that’s the one everyone knows.

Agree on Mungo Jerry. I had the LP, but my son took it many years ago.
He has quite the collection of old LPs.

O-O-Oh Child, by The Five Stairsteps,

Which was their only top-10 pop hit, even though they did have other songs chart in the top 100, and a handful that just missed being in the top 10 R&B chart.

But if you’re not an R&B fan, it’s probably their only song that you recognize.
