Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm having a molasses day - you know, plodding along as fast as I can but seeming to get only about as far as I would if I were wading through a foot of molasses. Maybe a bullet could cut through some of the molasses.....
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzwKVOpoBtE - Bang Bang - Cher, 1966
BONUS #2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-AgYXz2n9Y - Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_%28My_Baby_Shot_Me_Down%29:
"Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" is the second single by
singer-actress
Cher from her second studio album
The Sonny Side of Chér. The song was written by
Sonny Bono and released in
1966. The song reached number three in the
UK Singles Chart and number two on the
Billboard Hot 100. The same year, the song was covered by
Nancy Sinatra. The single proved successful, charting high on many national charts worldwide. In the United States, it was Cher's biggest solo hit of the 1960s, peaking at #2. The single sold over 3 million copies, in the US alone, by 1984. In 1987, Cher released this song as a single again from her nineteenth album Cher. However, that time, it failed to chart. This was Cher's first top-three hit in the UK, charting at #3. It would be her last top-three hit, until The Shoop-Shoop Song, twenty-two years later. The 1987 version was performed on both Cher's Heart of Stone and Farewell tours. Also in 1966, Nancy Sinatra released her version of the song on her album How Does That Grab You?. It featured tremolo effect guitar (played by Billy Strange [1]) and melancholy singing. This version remained relatively obscure until it was used in the opening scenes of the 2003 movie Kill Bill Volume 1. This exposure caused Sinatra's version to be the one chosen by Audio Bullys when, in 2005, they used a sample of the song for their top ten UK hit "Shot You Down", credited officially to Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra. Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall also sampled this version for his single "Bang Bang", which appeared on his mixtape Kill Bloodclott Bill in 2004. Rapper Young Buck sampled Sinatra's version on his song "Bang Bang" from his album Straight Outta Cashville... |
