Little Sister

About this song

The song was released as the first single from the album Lullabies To Paralyze and was inspired by Elvis Presley's song of the same name. The recorded version was done in one take in the studio. It is known as one of a few successful rock songs to use a cowbell-like sound, here made by a jam block, and Will Ferrell reprised his cowbell character from the SNL sketch "More Cowbell" to play the jam block during the band's 2005 SNL performance of the song.
