Ten Little Indians is a song by Harry Nilsson released on his 1967 album Pandemonium Shadow Show.
Written in the style of a nursery rhyme, this song is about the Ten Commandments.[1]
It was covered by The Yardbirds and released the same year (b/w "Drinking Muddy Water" Epic 10248). However, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty do not appear on this track. Yardbirds guitarist and producer Jimmy Page lays claim to inventing the audio effect known as reverse echo whilst recording "Ten Little Indians".
