"Little Girl" is a song recorded by the California garage rock group the Syndicate of Sound, and written by Don Baskin and Bob Gonzalez of the band. It reached the US national pop charts in June 1966, peaking at #5 on Cash Box and #8 on Billboard. It was covered in The Residents 1976 album "The Third Reich 'N' Roll" on the suite "Swastikas on Parade".
History
With this song being part of a suite it does not have a lot of unique history with the group. Like with all other song from this album it is a cover of the 1966 hit "Little Girl". The Residents likely heard this song quite a bit as college aged music fans in the 60s with it being a #5 hit. While The Residents are big fans of this album this specific song was only performed live a total of three times at each of the "Dog Stab!" shows. This live version is featured in the middle of the Third Reich 'N' Roll portion of the show and features new parts from Nolan Cook given the song a modern feel. Around the same The Residents also release "Groovy Great RDX" which features a shortened edit of this song. This song was selected to represent the album on the collection Best Of Ralph in 1982.
Lyrics
1974 Swastikas on Parade version
Hey little girl you don't have to hide nothin' no more. You didn't do nothin' that hadn't been done before. You can leave little girl, I don't want you around no more. Too bad little girl, it's all over for you.[1]
