The Little Girl

"The Little Girl" is a song written by Harley Allen and recorded by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. The song features harmony vocals by bluegrass musicians Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski, both members of Alison Krauss and Union Station. It was released in August 2000 as the lead single from the album Brand New Me. The song became Montgomery's seventh and last No. 1 hit to date on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, and his first chart-topper since 1995's "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)". The song also reached No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Background and writing

The song is based on an urban legend of the type referred to by website Snopes.com as "glurge" (fabricated and overly sentimental). Snopes.com states that the legend itself is unverifiable, and would have otherwise passed into obscurity had it not been for songwriter Harley Allen who, after receiving a copy of the story from his brother, wrote the song in under fifteen minutes.

Little Girl (Miwa song)

"Little Girl" (リトルガール, Ritoru Gāru) is Japanese singer-songwriter miwa's second major label single, released on June 23, 2010. The B-side "Soba ni Itai Kara" is a re-recording of miwa's second independently released single from 2008.

Writing and inspiration

The song is an upbeat pop-rock song. The lyrics of the song are self-referential, both to miwa as the songwriter and the song being a love song. miwa describes herself as a "little girl" who writes songs, plays her guitar and is sick of listening to love songs. The rest of the lyrics deal with expressing feelings to an "unusual boy" in a love song, and uses unusual metaphors to with maths/science (such as "you don't need equations in love," describing the boy as "flowing with minus ions" and saying that the boy is "the only one to receive my special frequency").

"Little Girl" was written during the summer holiday of her first year of university, as a potential candidate for her debut single. She wanted "make a life-sized song they was very much her." She did not want to write a love song that applied to everyone, but one that was specific to just a certain two people.

Little Girl (Reba McEntire song)

"Little Girl" is a song written Kendal Franceschi and Quentin Powers, and recorded by American country artist Reba McEntire. It was released in December 1989 as the third single from the album Sweet Sixteen. The song reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Little Theatre (Rochester, New York)

The Little Theatre in Rochester, New York, commonly known as "The Little" is a movie theatre located on historic East Avenue in downtown Rochester, New York and a modest non-profit multiplex specializing in art film, including independent and foreign productions outside the United States.

Founded in 1928, The Little is one of the oldest active movie theaters built specifically to show films in the US, serving as an alternative venue for cinema of higher artistic caliber than what was popular at the time. To remain in business, The Little has created a unique theater experience for its patrons strikingly different from that of standard commercial cinemas. The Little typically shows films that never make it to the large theater chains, either due to lack of publicity, popularity, exposure, or content that is too risky and/or inappropriate for larger audiences (such as NC-17 rated films). Foreign films, independent films, some documentary films and art films are its common fare.
