Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang

I was five and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks He wore black and I wore white He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time When I grew up, I called him mine He would always laugh and say Remember when we used to play?

Bang bang, I shot you down Bang bang, you hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why And 'til this day, sometimes I cry He didn't even say goodbye He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

If they ever replace Mt. Rushmore, I believe I could live with this.

Almost 50 million views...wow

Most likely because her song was in the movie Kill Bill 1.
Whole new generation of listeners .

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

You beat me to it. Love that song.

On a side note, how in blazes did we go from Nancy Sinatra to Miley Cyrus in two generations?

[Daffynition]

Thanks for the memories. Nancy was the *it* girl of her time.

I’ve been listening to Frank’s recordings! Great stuff!

Watertown. The pinnacle of his recordings.

Raquel Welch did a version on tv too. You Tube has it.

[Steely Tom]

If you have Netflix, you should watch Wrecking Crew. It’s about Tedesco and company (including Glenn Campbell) backing up everyone and his mother in 1960’s LA. Really good stuff.

Yes, I watched it, and it was terrific.

[Patriot Babe]

Have no clue how we got from sexy to skank in 3 decades.

[Eccl 10:2]

Also good were Muscle Shoals, Twenty Feet from Stardom, and the documentary about Hendrix.

Meh: the Keith Richards documentary, and the Ginger Baker thing. They were OK.

The Pentatonix thing was unwatchable. Too bad because I find A Capella stuff interesting.

Sexy to skank in 3 generations?

MTV!

That's all folks!

[TexasTransplant]

Half a Century ago I could do something about it

[TexasTransplant]

WOW

To be in that room at that time, would have been awesome.

Hope the photographer understood he was making more than History.

I would have been in Hero Heaven

(Dino looks like he was having the most fun)

Looks to me like Wayne was probably making a funny comment, and the other 3 were responding to it.

[Big Red Badger]

Hmmmm,
I like’m chubby!

That was a strange episode,
even for Star Trek.

Thanks.

Here is the Lady Gaga performance of Bang Bang, which was done on the album/tour with Tony Bennett

Nancy Sinatra had a lot of hits. I especially like her work with Lee Hazelwood. "Some Velvet Morning" is one of the most mind-blowing songs of the 1960s.

That song got a lot of airplay here in January, 1968. It sure was weird.
