Li'l Red Riding Hood
"Li'l Red Riding Hood" is a 1966 song performed by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. It was the group's second top-10 hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1966〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Music Charts – Hot 100 ) 〕 and No. 2 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts. It was certified gold by the RIAA on August 11, 1966.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=RIAA )〕
It is a prominent plot element in the 1993 film ''Striking Distance'' with Bruce Willis,〔("Soundtracks for ''Striking Distance''" ) at IMDb〕 and is featured in the film ''Wild Country'' in 2005〔("Soundtracks for ''Wild Country''" ) at IMDb〕 and a cover by Laura Gibson in a 2012 Volvo commercial for its S60T5. The song appeared in the TV show ''Grimm'' where it was played at the beginning of the season 3 episode "Red Menace" that aired in 2014.
== Premise ==
The song is built around Charles Perrault's fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood", adapted by ending before the grandmother makes her entrance, and explicitly using the ambiguity of modern English between "wolf", the carnivore, and "wolf", a man with concealed sexual intentions. The effect, whether intentional or incidental, is to strip away the fairy tale's metaphorical device and present the relationship between the two characters without literary pretense.
The singer remarks on "what big eyes" and "what full lips" Red has, and eventually on "what a big heart" he himself has. An added element is that he says (presumably aside, to the song's audience) that he is disguised in a "sheep suit" until he can demonstrate his good intentions, but he seems to be having a hard time suppressing his wolf call in the form of a howl, in favor of the baa-ing of a sheep, at the very end of the song when Sam repeats the word "BAAHED" a few times during the song's fade. One of its signature lines is "you're ev'rything that a big bad wolf could want". The song begins with a howl, and a spoken recitation that goes: "Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?/Why it's Little Red Riding Hood".
