George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag (1969/1970)
Note: Click "Show More" for lyrics. "Little Green Bag" is a 1969 song written by Dutch musicians Jan Visser and George Baker (born Hans Bouwens), and recorded by the George Baker Selection at the band's own expense. The track's original title was "Little Greenback", in reference to the color of the US dollar. However, the single was given the erroneous title "Little Green Bag", which some took to be a "bag of marijuana". The lyrics of the song adds to the belief that it's about marijuana, since it describes quite similarly the confusion of trying to find the bag, which is a common thing marijuana smokers experience. The "Little Green Bag" title was then retained for all subsequently released versions of the single, as well as the group's 1970 debut album, also titled Little Green Bag.
The single peaked at No. 9 on the Dutch Top 40 singles chart and No. 3 in Belgium. In the United States, the single reached No. 16 in the middle of 1970 on the Cashbox chart and No. 21 on the US Billboard Top 100. In 1992, when the song was used in Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs with song writers cited as Jan Gerbrand Visser and Benjamino Bouwens, it became an international cult classic. Also that year, the song reached No. 1 in Japan after being used in a Japanese whiskey commercial.
Lyrics:
Little Green Bag (H. Bouwens/J. Visser - Colossus Records/Legacy Music, Inc. BMI)
Yeah...
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind

Bad finger were a great band, Pete Hamm was a brilliant songwriter. They were 100% ripped off by their American Jewish manager Stan Polley. Pete Hamm hung himself at age 27 in his garage, but, hey, at least Stan Polley became a millionaire. What a complete cunt.
One of the best listening from South Africa 💜
No more paradise❤❤❤
❤❤❤going home to the place where i belong,
The music in the 70's was the best!❤

This group should have performed this song at The Boar’s 🐗 Nest in Hazzard County to pay off a speeding ticket for driving through a phony school zone.
Woof woof
To a New Yorker like you a hero is some type of weird Sandwich!!! Woof Woof!!! RIP oddball 😢
Who is that man Crapgame? Woof woof, that’s my other dog impersonation mmm.
I saw Kelly’s Hero’s at a the Pal Drive Vidalia Ga 1973, Clint Eastwood all nighter.
I miss the spoken part were she explains what truth and love are.
The crowd look like they are at a wake......... FFS enjoy the talent, you miserable buggers
For all the hard core dog lovers out there.
My song I was born in 1968😊
Pure gold !!!
In 2024!
I’m here because the songwriter Mark James died recently. He also wrote Suspicious Minds

2024
I want this at my funeral as the casket disappears. RIP Donald Sutherland 😢
Now even Oddball belongs to the ages.
Don't het me wrong. I love this song.. And the way how we look at this text nowadays says a lot in how far we drifted off in discussion about 'me too' and wrong ideas about it. Come on..
Beautiful song
