Thanks to Quentin Tarentino's typically tip-top soundtrack for Resevoir Dogs, everyone within range has by now heard the 1970 Dutch hit "Little Green Bag" by George Baker Selection.
The opening bass riff worked perfectly for the "hero walk" in the film when the main cast looks all cool strolling by with wayfarers on their mugs.
The original 1970 video for the song is visually similar but far less interesting.
The real question is, does anything else by George Baker Selection come even close to "Little Green Bag"?
Not quite, but I did find 2 tracks from the 1970 Little Green Bag album that aren't too shabby.
"Fly" is one, and the other is the closing track, "Goodbye", offered here in slightly shorter length.

That guy in the lower front - is he a rubber dummy? I like the track.

Dermahrk,
You mean the guy with the wide face, not the green bag, right?
Either way, both have something in common with Gumby!
The above Yardbirds clip was posted in tribute to your recent post comparing the original "Train Kept A-Rollin" by Tiny Bradshaw along with Johnny Burnette Trio and The Yardbirds (& other) versions:
