Is 'Bang Bang' One Of The Best Glam Tunes Ever?
I decided to go around the corner and get a latte to break up my workday. Clicking around the satellite radio channels, I went ahead and stopped on Hair Nation because why not? Recently I've been listening to mostly Octane and NFL Network in the car. So I'm making my short drive, Danger Danger's brilliant "Bang Bang" comes on and what do I notice? I realize that I'm smiling! And then I'm tapping my finger and singing along and thinking about how happy hearing "Bang Bang" always makes me. I mean, the message of the song isn't so great because the dude loses his girl and she's a cheater but man, the riffs and choruses sure are infectious!
I've had the self-titled Danger Danger debut on my Discogs vinyl "want" list for awhile now. It's just such an expensive record for an original pressing. Maybe I will breakdown and buy the remaster instead of shucking out around $100 for a mint copy of the original run. Either way, the money would probably be well spent since "Bang Bang" has never once failed to make me happy. For me, it's one of the best Glam songs ever, from one of the most underrated bands of the genre.
