"Bang Bang" is a song written by Iggy Pop and Ivan Kral in 1981 for Iggy Pop's Party album. It was released as a single, charting at #35 on the Billboard Club Play singles chart. According to Iggy Pop's autobiography, "I Need More". He wrote Bang Bang as Arista wanted a single and he promised them a commercial album. He originally wanted Phil Spector, or Mike Chapman to produce the song. Instead, famed songwriter Tommy Boyce was brought in. Iggy claimed he got idea for the song from reading "The Right Stuff" at a local bookstore.
"Bang Bang" was released as a promotional single in late 1987, the final single from Bowie's album Never Let Me Down. The live version includes Peter Frampton on guitar.
All tracks written by David Bowie (except where noted).
