For story line, for photography, and for action. A true opera, larger than life.
Theme song:
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 be down
Seasons came and change the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
'Member 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 till 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

But I got a shocker for ya. If memory serves, the theme was written by, and I kinda hate to be the one to tell you,.....are you sitting down?.........Sonny Bono.
