"Bang Bang" is a song written by Iggy Pop and Ivan Kral in 1981 for Pop's Party album. It was released as a single, charting at #35 on the Billboard Club Play Singles chart. According to Pop's autobiography I Need More, he wrote "Bang Bang" as Arista Records wanted a single and he promised them a commercial album. He originally wanted Phil Spector or Mike Chapman to produce the song. Instead, songwriter Tommy Boyce was brought in. Pop claimed he got the idea for the song from reading The Right Stuff at a local bookstore.

Pop's friend David Bowie covered "Bang Bang" for his 1987 album Never Let Me Down. When asked about his choice of including Pop's song on the album (instead of perhaps co-writing a new song), Bowie stated "Iggy's done so many good songs that people never get to hear ... I think it's one of his best songs, 'Bang Bang,' and it hasn't been heard, and now it might be."[4] Released as a promotional single in late 1987, the live version includes Peter Frampton on guitar. In 2018, Bowie's original album version was re-engineered as part of Bowie's posthumous Never Let Me Down 2018 release.

[ru] Bang Bang (песня Игги Попа)
Bang Bang — песня американского певца Игги Попа, написанная им в соавторстве с Айваном Крэлом (англ.) (рус. в 1981 году для альбома Party. Согласно автобиографии Игги Попа — I Need More, он написал эту песню, чтобы потом её выпустить в качестве сингла для лейбла Arista Records, которому обещал выпустить «коммерческий альбом». Сингл занял 35 место в чарте Billboard Club Play singles chart[2]. Первоначально певец задумывал пригласить в качестве продюсера Фила Спектора или Майка Чепмена, но, однако, по разным причинам продюсером песни стал Томми Бойс[3]. По словам Игги, идея для песни пришла к нему, когда он читал роман «Парни что надо» (англ. All The Right Stuff) в местном книжном магазине.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
