"Some Candy Talking" is a song by Scottish rock band The Jesus & Mary Chain, released in 1986. The song was released as a single, and did not appear on any of the band's albums. Its track listing included "Taste of Cindy", a song from their first album, "Psychocandy", and a song entitled "Psychocandy", which did not appear on that album.

The song is commonly misunderstood as being about heroin use. In a 2005 interview with Jim Reid (lead singer) featured in "Filter Magazine", Reid noted that: '"Some Candy Talking" had nothing to do with drugs, actually. It was just something a radio DJ picked up on, and it was banned in all the major radio stations in the UK.' It should be noted though that images of poppy flowers are featured in the video for the single, seeming to imply that the song is indeed about heroin.Fact|date=August 2008 The song was originally banned for this reason by BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Smith, [citeweb|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2C6I4KfgJ1kC&pg=RA1-PA413&lpg=RA1-PA413&dq=some+candy+talking+banned&source=web&ots=LN22YQY_Vl&sig=XBifRjP3O7OWgttmTVahZW0qKDg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result|title=The great rock discography|publisher=Giunti|author=Martin Strong|date=1998|accessdate=2008-08-25] although it was later voted at no. 9 in that year's John Peel Festive fifty.

The single marked the final release that drummer Bobby Gillespie appeared on. He went on to form a new band, Primal Scream.
