"King Kong Song" (originally "Mr. Sex"), written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is the name of a 1974 recording by Swedish pop group ABBA, included on their album "Waterloo". In 1977, the track was released as a single, which charted at #4 on the Tio i topp chart in Sweden and at #94 in Australia. It received a substantial amount of unsolicited airplay in Sweden, even though by then three years and two albums had come and gone since its original 1974 conception.
