HOW did I not know that Amanda Seyfried did a cover of “Little Red Riding Hood” by Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs?!?

I literally think my father has been singing it to me since I was born. And suddenly there’s little Amanda, doing a beautiful cover of it. Maybe more people will actually know it now, instead of looking at me strangely when I bring it up. (“There’s a 60s song about Little Red Riding Hood?…I think you made that up, Tori.”)
I couldn’t even find the band singing it on YouTube, so please forgive the Betty Boop cartoon. Here’s the version that raised me:
