BEACH BOYS - The Little Girl I Once Knew / There's No Other (Like My Baby (Capitol HFC 1054) Holland 1965 PS 45
vinyl: VG++ | cover: VG++ | punch-out middle piece is missing)

"The Little Girl I Once Knew" is a song written by Brian Wilson for the American rock band the Beach Boys, released as a non-album single in 1965.

AllMusic called the song "a virtual link between the slightly progressive work on songs such as 'California Girls' and the then-quantum leap taken by Wilson on Pet Sounds and 'Good Vibrations'". Unified by an opening hook which intertwines keyboards with guitars, the song is eccentric for using stop-start melody sections along with a few dramatic periods of silence lasting several seconds each.
