"Li'l Red Riding Hood" was a novelty hit in 1966. It made it to number 2 on the Billboard Top 100. This song was sung by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. Sam the Sham was actually Domingo Samudio. He hauled his music equipment in a 1950's vintage hearse! Here is a fun performance video from 1966, interspersed with an old Betty Boop cartoon. I thought this fun, quirky song would be a good music break today.
Do you remember this tune? What is your favorite novelty song?
Had never heard of this song before. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this song!!! My high school sweetheart listened to "oldies" and this was one of my faves! It was in a thriller too but I can't remember the name.
