The band The Strangeloves released this song in 1965. The Candy they sing of is a dancer named Candy Johnson whom the group saw at the 1964 World’s Fair. She danced in many a beach movie in the 60's.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE STRANGELOVES!
With Halloween less than a week away (and of course a big Halloween party can be found right here next Thursday with all kinds of merriment) how about an aptly named classic by The Strangeloves, 'I Want Candy' which most people remember Bow Wow Wow for covering in the 1980's.
The song title doesn't mean actual wrapped sweet treats but Candy Johnson from the movie Beach Party. Now you know.
