Lyrics
"Bang Bang" is a humorous commentary on the pitfalls of love. Its chorus:
"Bang, bang, the mighty fall
Bang, bang, when love has called"
It uses the examples of famous couples such as Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah, Horatio Nelson and Emma, Lady Hamilton and Mark Antony and Cleopatra. There is also a reference to John Fruin, who was head of Warner Music Group at the time.[2]
"Life was in a ruin
She loved Johnny Fruin
Fall in love and blew em away"
