1. Formed in 2006 by Mike Watchorn and Alex 'Gooders' Goodwin from the ashes of previous projects. Over the course of the first year ITW gathered members for the remaining positions in the band and got down to writing, rehearsing and promotion ahead of its release.
By the summer of 2007 ITW were finally ready for the stage, and with a well received debut show and a few magazine live reviews under the belt the band had already started to make a mark in the unsigned UK circuit.
Throughout their first year of shows and promotion, various members were in and out of the recording studio on a regular basis to piece together all the material for the self titled debut mini-album. With all the usual rock band curses, the album went through complications (holding it back from its originally planned synchronisation with the first string of shows) and became a physical form in the fall of 2008, in time for the group’s successful first full UK tour.
2009 saw the band embarking on further promotion and many larger shows including a double performance at the UK's Bloodstock Open Air Festival in Derby.
2. Into the Woods are a Melbourne folk band from another time… Likened to Wilco, Midlake and Okkervil River, the band’s folk sound results from slight surprises on traditional formulas. Musically, four-part harmonies fill out classic chord progressions, country moments mutate into big band anthems, and all seven members wander the stage like minstrels, switching instruments as they go. Lyrically, the songs consider morality, mortality, loss and redemption; all of this tempered by the character-driven conventions of true folk music.
Formed in 2006, Into the Woods have played with some of Melbourne’s finest including Little Red, Institut Polaire and Grizzly Jim Lawrie. The band are currently putting some finishing gloss on their debut EP ‘The Willow Tree’.
3. The band first assembled in late 2010 when members found themselves bound together by a cold Canadian winter. Forced to reside in a former WW2 Prisoner of War camp and scientific research station; nights were spent chronicling the fate of the previous inhabitants and the current flock of victims. In the first winter some of the popular songs heard included, Nazi Zombies, FPC (French Pennington Criminal), AB-original vs. Mu-Ga-B and Dirty Slut. The aggressive nature of the songs was often attributed to underlying tensions within the band that remain to this day. The band went on hiatus during the middle part of 2011 because of logistical issues regarding practice sessions, only to reform later at the beginning of the following winter. On reliving the old material, serious consideration was given to a reunion tour, which remains unrealised. Some new songs were written regarding the new living environment and characters. There may be a gathering of members in mid 2012.....
Hello Little Girl
Into the Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good day, young lady.
Little Red Riding Hood
Good day, Mr. Wolf.
Wolf
Mmmh
Look at that flesh,
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl
Tender and fresh,
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl
This one's especially lush,
Delicious
Mmmh
Hello, little girl,
What's your rush?
You're missing all the flowers.
The sun won't set for hours,
Take your time.
Little Red Riding Hood
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay or be misled.
Wolf
But slow, little girl,
Hark and hush-
The birds are singing sweetly.
You'll miss the birds completely,
You're traveling so fleetly.
Grandmother first,
Then Miss Plump
What a delectable couple:
Utter perfection-
One brittle, one supple-
One moment, my dear
Little Red Riding Hood
Mother said,
"Come what may,
Follow the path
And never stray."
Wolf
Just so, little girl-
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so boring.
And look what you're ignoring
Think of those crisp,
Aging bones,
Then something fresh on the palate,
Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day
There's no possible way
To describe what you feel
When you're talking to your meal.
Little Red Riding Hood
Mother said
Not to stray.
Still I suppose,
A small delay
Granny might like
A fresh bouquet
Goodbye, Mr. Wolf.
Wolf
Goodbye, little girl.
And hello
dark subtext. At first glance, the song appears to be an innocent exchange between Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the wolf is luring Little Red Riding Hood into danger with his suggestive lyrics. The wolf's lines are filled with sexual undertones, referring to her flesh as "tender and fresh" and describing her as "especially lush, delicious". He urges Little Red Riding Hood to take her time and enjoy the journey, implying that he has something sinister in mind for her.
The lyrics also touch on themes of temptation and curiosity. Little Red Riding Hood is warned by her mother to stay on the path and not to be misled, but the Wolf tempts her to stray and explore alternative paths. He tells her that following just one path would be boring, and encourages her to indulge in her curiosity by exploring new ones. However, it is clear that the Wolf's intentions are not pure, as he refers to Grandmother and Miss Plump as a "delectable couple" and suggests that Little Red Riding Hood could be the next one to join the menu.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of talking to strangers and the risks of following one's curiosity without taking proper precautions. The Wolf represents the dark, predatory side of human nature and the dangers that can lurk in the unknown.

@getjiggywithito.-3567
FALSE: this song is about how the wolf wants to EAT red, not rape her....one because that's the DISNEY original story, and TWO because he's supposed to be a wolf, not a middle aged wierdo in the middle of the woods.
