Little Green Bag by The George Baker Selection New Edit

Songfacts: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page. View Lyrics Names are the theme that haunt this song. It was supposed to be called “Little Greenback,“ like in money, but the seven-inch single debut was misprinted by publisher label Negram. Wouldn’t you know it, it became their top hit, and so became known by the wrong name. Worse yet, they had to change the name of the album to reflect that. If you listen to the words, “greenback“ is actually the word sung. George Baker, meanwhile, was actually born Johannes Bouwens. He’s from the Netherlands, you see, and so “Little Green Bag“ first made the top-40 on the Dutch charts, then Belgium, and finally internationally. Have you ever heard such a unique construction? It starts out with jazzy bass and tambourine, with a bouncy bass line and drum. Then the vocals slide in with an almost whisper, and then suddenly the song opens up and it’s a Spanish romance ballad.
