Bang Bang

That's René

The song linked here is a cover of “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” by That’s René, sung together with his wife Dominique Schmidt, originally composed by Sonny Bono and famously performed by Cher in 1966. This track has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Nancy Sinatra and Lady Gaga, each bringing their unique interpretation to the song.

“Bang Bang” narrates the story of a romantic relationship that begins in childhood and ends in heartbreak. The lyrics use the metaphor of a game of pretend gunplay to depict the emotional pain of a breakup. The recurring line “Bang bang, he shot me down” symbolizes the sudden and devastating end of the relationship, highlighting feelings of betrayal and loss.
