"Molly (16 Candles Down the Drain)" is a song by American rock band Sponge, released in 1995 as the second single from their debut album ''Rotting Piñata''. It also serves as the name of the band's greatest hits album, which was released in 2000. It was originally titled "Molly" on ''Rotting Piñata'', but was elongated for its release as a single. It was ostensibly named after actress Molly Ringwald, who starred in ''Sixteen Candles''. However, it was actually inspired by a story one of the band members heard about a girl who fell in love with one of her teachers shortly before her 16th birthday, who then attempted to commit suicide via an overdose of ecstasy after he rejected her, hence "16 candles down the drain." "Molly" is a more pure form of MDMA than street ecstasy. To date, it is the band's only song to appear on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart, having peaked at number 55 in August 1995.〔(Artist Chart History - Sponge - Singles ). Billboard.com.

The music video for the song was released in 1995 and was directed by Doug Aitken.〔(MTV Videos ). MTV.com.
