Edit 2 for headphones, March 2024. The original title was "little greenback", referring to a US paper dollar.
The 1969 debut single of the Dutch band George Baker Selection, written by Dutch musicians Jan Visser and George Baker.
The song reached #9 in Holland and # 6 on the Cash Box magazine chart. In 1992 the song reached #1 in Japan due to a Japanese whiskey commercial,
you know, the kind of drink that tastes like after shave...
Now the whole song is about a lost dollar, well, I admit, in 1969 a dollar was worth far more than nowadays, but to drag on about it troughout the entire song? Bit strange. Still, the song has a nice rhythm & a great bass. And we may conclude this is a terrible video, with the worst ending ever: blowing bubbles and grown ups chasing them..
Oh, in 1999 Tom Jones had a #1 hit in the UK with his cover of this song!
LITTLE GREEN BAG
(Jan Visser/Hans Bouwens)
lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
look back
lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right
lookin' up stairs, lookin' behind
lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right
lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
yeah
lookin' back on the track for a little greenback
got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
outta sight in the night, outta sight in the day
lookin' back on the track, gonna do it my way
lookin' back on the track for a little, little greenback
got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
alright
lookin' for some happiness but there is only loneliness to find
jump to the left, turn to the right
lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind
