Bang! Bang! On the Door, Baby!
I got inspired by BAng BAng PArty !, so I'm adding a few in. I do have a lot more "Bang" songs, including that awesome "Bang a Gong" song by T.Rex, but that's already mentioned in that post.
So a short introduction to each Bang songs:
● Bangs (not "the Bangs") are from Olympia, Washington, so I often associate them with Sleater-Kinney. I love this song, "Scorpi-Oh".
● S*M*A*S*H are another personal favorite. They've only have one album before breaking up due to drugs and depression. They reformed a few years ago, and I have an official/fan website on them (s-m-a-s-h.net).
● Bertrand Betsch has a French version of "Bang Bang", it's pretty good.
● I also like Isobel Campbell's version of "Bang Bang" as well ... if you listen on headphones, it uses "stereo" so you'll hear some sounds in the left and right speakers.
● Art Brut has an album and title track called "Bang Bang Rock & Roll".
● I have all of Le Tigre's albums and EPs on CD as I am a pretty big riot grrrl fan. I actually haven't really liked the latest Le Tigre's stuff, but am more of a fan of old Bikini Kill. However, the first Le Tigre album is amazing. Maybe in my next post, I will talk about another favorite, Bratmobile :)
● Lastly, here's the Archies doing "Bang Shang a Lang", which I believe was a big hit for this cartoon band :) The real "band" are session musicians, assembled by Don Kirshner. Most of the hits were written and sung by Jeff Barry.
● SMAP is not my audio. It's in Japanese.
Super-easy, but bonus points for anyone who can guess where the title of this post came from.

i did leave off a lot of songs, but in case you are interested - there are way too many bang songs.
here's my research:
El-V's rap version of "bang bang" (too hot), and R&B artist "big bang", cher's manly version of "bang bang", The Raconteurs' version of "bang bang" (oh don't you worry! i will do a cover-lover for bang bang one day), sheila's version of bang bang (in spanish), Mikado Punchers - Beat Bangs, Skrewdriver - Back With A Bang, japanese artist Bang!, frontline's sexually awful r&b "bang it", Mieke - Boom-bang-a-bang (this is actually a cover), Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang You're Dead (uk rock song), dr dre - bang bang (it's not what you think), The Game - Bang (rap),Ricky_Martin - She Bangs (errrr), Nightlife Commando - Bang Camaro (it starts off as latin, but ends up as rock opera or something, really strange), Armchair Cynics - Bang (rock), Fallout boy - Bang The Doldrums
and there are more, but i'll save them all for later...
What about the 80s band Biff Bang Pow!
