Thread Name: Lyr Req: I Couldn't Spell !!*@! (Sam the Sham...)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sam the Sham and the Pharoes
Regards The Pharaohs "Little Red Riding Hood" - a great version was recently covered by a group called 'Bowling for Soup' it's a more 'revved up' version leaning towards 'punkish' but it's still really good - in fact I think I even prefer it over the original.
If you can't get it anywhere else - Bowling For Soup perform it live in (at the end of, maybe?) the film "Cursed": A slightly off-beat werewolf movie which is good for quite a few laughs as it parodies a few werewolf stereotypes.
And do you recall the same song; only this time the Pharaoh's version - being so brilliantly used in a Bruce Willis movie: 'Striking Distance' where the serial killer uses it as his signature tune to harass and terrify imminent victims and Tom Hardy (Willis) - the serial killer played superbly by the very underrated robert Pastorelli
