| abstract
| - %22Give a Little Bit%22 is the opening song on Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments.... The song was released as a single that same year and became an international hit for the band, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It was a chart hit in the band's native UK, reaching number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was re-released in 1992 to raise funds for the ITV Telethon Charity event, but failed to chart.Its writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, although it is a Hodgson composition. Hodgson and Davies shared writing credits from 1974 until 1983, when Hodgson left Supertramp. The song is characterized by the ringing tones of 12-string acoustic guitars, which is joined by a Hohner Clavinet through a Leslie speaker in the bridge of the song.Drummer Bob Siebenberg recounted that %22Roger had been working at Malibu for quite a while on this tune. I'd hear the song in hotel rooms and places like that. He had the song on a little tape when I first joined the band so I was quite familiar with the tune. We tried out various drum things and it seemed right to ride it along on the snare drum... giving it something almost like a train beat. So it's all on the snare and bass drum, with no tom-tom fills or anything.%22A short snippet of the song is played in the film %22Superman%22 shortly before Lois Lane's %22death%22 scene. The song, however, is not featured on the movie's soundtrack.The song was used interwoven with the final scenes and part of the end credits for the Ricky Gervais film %22The Invention of Lying%22.The song was used in 2014 for Stouffer's, Coca Cola´s Share Happiness commercials and for Target Australia's Christmas commercials in 2014.
