The Sham-Ettes - Hey There Big Bad Wolf

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48NthNJLsAA&w=700] The Sham-Ettes sing "(Hey there) Big Bad Wolf", accompanied by clips from Betty Boop in Dizzy Red Riding-Hood (1931).

The Sham-Ettes (a.k.a. the Shamettes) were Loraine Genero, Jane Anderson, and Fran Curcio, who acted as sidekicks for Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs in his live Revue. After Sam the Sham had a hit with "Lil' Red Riding Hood" in 1966 they were called upon to record an answer song, "(Hey There) Big Bad Wolf," for which the Sham-Ettes are best remembered today.
