"Little Sister" was the first single Queens of the Stone Age pulled from Lullabies to Paralyze, their fourth album: a promo went out in December 2004, and Interscope had it in shops as a proper single by March 2005. This entry is the "more cowbell remix" of a song the band recorded live in the studio in a single take, lean and twitchy and built to make hips move.
It had been kicking around for years before that. An early version with Dave Grohl was tracked in 2002 for Songs for the Deaf and then dropped, and that unfinished take later surfaced on a bootleg compilation. Josh Homme has said the spark came from the sly sexual twist in the 1961 "Little Sister" that Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote and Elvis Presley turned into a hit.
