"My Little Red Book" is a song co-written by Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David. "My Little Red Book", the title of which is likely a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mao Zedong's Little Red Book (which was first published by the Communist Party of China in April 1964). After gaining affection for the British Invasion, Bacharach began working hands-on with beat groups of the era such as the Manfred Mann. Manfred Mann covered the song for the 1965 film "What's New Pussycat?, filmed between October 1964 to June 1965; the entire catalogue of music for the film was written by both Bacharach and David. In 1966, the song became a rock standard when remade by the Los Angeles based group Love, where it managed to reach No.52 in the US national charts.
