I'm on the track for a little green bag
There's this song I've been humming to musically well-read (or should that be 'well-listened'?) friends for a while now, to see if they could help me put a title and performer on it, and to tell me where I might possibly know it from.
Either I'm bad at humming, or my friends are a bit crap, or it's a really obscure track, because so far nobody could help.
Then the other night it was playing in the background on Sugar Rush and I made a note of the only lyrics I could hear under the dialogue:
Looking back [...] on the track
[...] little green bag
got to find just the kind
I'm losing my mind
Outside in the night [...]
And thus spake Google:
- It's George Baker Selection, Little Green Bag (video).
- And I know it from Reservoir Dogs.
- Or possibly this Heineken advert.
- But definitely not from a record handed down to me by one of my brothers, because that would show how ancient I am, and I'm so not.

The song is "Little Green Bag" from the movie "Resevoir Dogs" by Mayhem.
I posted the lyrics for you.
Enjoy
Mayhem - Little Green Bag Lyrics
Yeah
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Outside in the night, outside in the day
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way
Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag
Got to find just a kind or losin' my mind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind
Lookin' for some happiness
But there is so a loneliness to find
Turn to the left turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs lookin' behind…..
