"The Jolly Green Giant" is a song written by Lynn Easton, Don Harris, and Dewey Terry and performed by The Kingsmen. It reached No.1 on the Canadian chart, No.4 on the U.S. pop chart, and No.25 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1965.[1] It was featured on their 1965 album The Kingsmen Volume 3.[2] The song was based on the Green Giant food brand's mascot the Jolly Green Giant. The single originally only credited Easton as the writer, but Harris and Terry were later added when it was determined the song was a re-write of The Olympics song "Big Boy Pete".
It was arranged by The Kingsmen, produced by Jerry Dennon,[3] and ranked No. 39 on Billboard magazine's Top 100 singles of 1965.[4]
