Hey there Little Red Riding Hood

Does anybody know who performs the "Hey there Little Red Riding Hood" song from the film "Striking Distance"? Cool song, which I don't remember hearing when I first saw the film. It has me interested now, because it will be shown on television in a few days here, and the commercials promoting the film's screening feature a little bit of the song. Don't know its name, just the lyrics, "...hey there Little Red Riding Hood.." I'd love to know the name of the song (although I can probably guess!) and like I said who performs it.

The song is called "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.

Wrong. The song is sung by Eric Bourdon & the Animals.

No YOUR wrong scagnetti777. I just finished watching the film on Ch5 in Scotland and I checked to see who sang the song and on the credits it said Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs.

The song in the film was by Sam the Sham and the Pharohs. However, several other groups have released versions of the song including the Doors and the Rolling Stones. But the original recording (and the on int he film) is by Sam the Sham and Pharohs.

Check the credits, and you will all be proven wrong. It was Doobie Doo-Wop and the Dancing Dalmatians, sang first in 1961.

According to the imdb.com Soundtracks for Striking Distance list it was performed by Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs. So speechless926 had it correct with the first answer to the question.

I have the complete collection from the Doors and nowhere can I find a mention anywhere about "Little Red Riding Hood" being performed by the Doors.

I cant believe ppl are asking this and arguing over who it was even. Its pretty common knowledge sam the sham sung this and wooly bully. Was there two biggest hits and pretty big hits in general.

Are y'all sure it wasn't Motley Crue? I thought they covered this on their gospel album?
