"Put a Little Love in Your Heart" is a song originally performed by Jackie DeShannon in 1968, who composed it with her brother, Randy Myers, and Jimmy Holiday. In the US, it was DeShannon's highest-charting hit, reaching #4 and rivaling the success of her signature song, "What the World Needs Now is Love".

The song has been covered numerous times, although only one version was a charted hit in the US. In 1988 Al Green and Annie Lennox recorded a version that was released as the ending theme song to the 1988 film Scrooged. The song reached #9 in the US, and was a top 40 hit in several countries worldwide.

It has been pointed out that the melody is strikingly similar to that of "Baby, You're a Rich Man" by The Beatles.
