"King Kong Song" (working title "Mr. Sex"),[4] written and composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is the name of a 1974 recording by Swedish pop group ABBA, included on their album Waterloo. The songwriters later considered it one of their weakest tracks.[5]

In 1974, the song competed in the Swedish radio chart show Tio i topp, where it stayed in the charts for four shows and peaked at number 4. "King Kong Song" was the international B-side to "Honey, Honey" and the B-side to "I've Been Waiting for You" in New Zealand and in Australia, where it reached number 49.[6]
