Sam The Sham And The Pharoahs
Sam the Sham the Pharaos - Wooly Bully
Woolly Bully / Li’l Red Riding Hood 1966 – MGM 1965
Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs were played frequently at the Old Twisted Wheel, Manchester in the sixties, the most popular tracks being Wooly Bully and the B side, Li’l Red Riding Hood with its spooky tune and atmospheric lyrics:
Hey there lil’ Riding Hood,
you sure are looking good,
you’re everythin’
that a big bad wolf could wann
Today of course, thiese lyrics could well be banned – such is the sensitivity around stalking issues.
Best known for their 1965 smash Wooly Bully, which helped introduce Tex-Mex rhythms to mainstream rock & roll, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs were formed in Dallas by lead singer Domingo Samudio, who took the name Sam the Sham from a joke about his inability as a vocalist.
