It was the group's second top-10 hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1966[1] It was kept out of the No. 1 spot by both: Wild Thing by The Troggs and Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful.[2] Outside the US, it peaked at No. 2 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts. It was certified gold by the RIAA on August 11, 1966.[3] PremiseThe 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". AttributionThe song whose lyrics are described just above is widely attributed to Ronald Blackwell.[4] There seems to be no controversy (although various titles are occasionally used) that one with a similar title was earlier written and recorded by the Big Bopper, and released as "Little Red Riding Hood" (N.B.: with "little" spelled out) late in 1958 as the B-side of his second hit.[5] The searchable sites with its complete lyrics as text seem to constitute no more than a handful,[6][7][8][9] but a recording, purported to be of his voice[10] and thus presumably as being authoritative as to lyrics, exists online. Though related in concept to the later Blackwell song, these differ in:
However, at least one site, which ignores the Bopper-recorded lyrics in listing his work, attributes the Blackwell/Pharaohs lyrics to the Big Bopper. Cover versionsArtists who have covered the song include:
ApologetiX parodied this song as "Little-Read Bible Book" on their 2004 album, Adam Up. To promote her movie Red Riding Hood, star Amanda Seyfried performed a cover of the song.[13] Song in popular cultureIt is a prominent plot element in the 1993 film Striking Distance with Bruce Willis,[14] and is featured in the film Wild Country in 2005[15] 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.
