BOS "Eve of Destruction."  I'm trying to think of the latest overtly political song to chart Top 10, and unless you count M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" (which I don't), I'm drawing a blank.

does Prince's "Sign o' the Times" count as political?

Absolutely, but I'm hoping there are examples more recent.   :)  I do think Pink's "Dear Mr. President" could have done it if her label had had the balls to release it as a single here (it was a massive hit overseas).

I like candy wrapped in a sweater.  It's high in fibers.

It's the bari sax that really makes "I Want Candy" for me.  And of course those backbeat drums, which I once read were called "Masai drums" in an effort to make them seem exotic.
