Boney M. version
"Bang Bang Lulu" was a 1986 single by German band
Boney M., taken from their final album
Eye Dance
, released October 1985. The single failed to chart, and the group - having disbanded after their 10th anniversary - didn't promote it. It was originally intended for
Liz Mitchell to sing, but she found the lyrics vulgar and refused to do it, and
Reggie Tsiboe did the lead vocals, backed by session singers Amy & Elaine Goff.
Bang Bang Lulu are also a band based in the UK that play Ska and Soul music. See
