"Little Green Bag" is a 1969 song written by Dutch musicians, Jan Visser and George Baker (credited as Hans Bouwens), and recorded by the George Baker Selection at the band's own cost. The 7" single debut of the George Baker Selection was released by the label Negram. The B-side was "Pretty Little Dreamer".[1] In 1970, "Little Green Bag" appeared on the album, Little Green Bag, by the George Baker Selection.
The song reached the number 9 position in the Dutch Top 40, and the number 3 position in Belgium. In the summer of 1970, it reached the number 16 position on the Cash Box magazine chart and 21 in the Billboard Top 100 in the U.S.. In 1992, when the song was used in the film Reservoir Dogs, it became an international cult classic. Also in 1992, the song reached the number 1 position in Japan, after it was used in a Japanese whiskey commercial.[1][2]
In 1999, Tom Jones released a cover of the song recorded with the Canadian band Barenaked Ladies on the collaborations album Reload.[1]
