"'''Rock Candy'''" is a song by [[Montrose (band)|Montrose]] from their [[1973]] debut. Along with [[Bad Motor Scooter]], it is probably the best known Montrose song. It is the second track from the album ''[[Montrose (band)|Montrose]]'', and starts out with a punishing drum beat courtesy of drummer Denny Carmassi and one of [[Ronnie Montrose]]'s most famous riffs. It was composed by all four members of the band. The song still gets performed on [[Sammy Hagar]]'s solo tours and even had been re-recorded as the b-side to the Hagar single ''Little White Lie'' by the original band.

The song was covered by the [[Glam metal]] band [[BulletBoys]] for the [[Wayne's World]] soundtrack in [[1991]]. It was also covered by Dixie Witch for the 70s cover compilation album, ''[[Sucking the 70's - Back in the Saddle Again]]''. Canadian rocker [[Lee Aaron]] also covered the song in her album Bodyrock.
