}} "Bang" is a song by Blur and was released 29 July 1991 as their third single. It was also featured on the band's debut album ''Leisure''. It has been all but disowned by the band, who claim it was written in less than 15 minutes in response to record company demands for another bankable single. It is almost never played live, and has not been included on either ''Blur: The Best Of'' or ''Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur''. "I don't think we'll ever play that again," Alex James remarked in 1999, having performed it during rehearsals for that year's tour. "Fuckin' hell, worst verse you ever heard. Dannii Minogue gave it 'Stinker of the Week' in ''Number One''."〔Male, Andrew: "A Life Less Orderly", ''Select'', September 1999, p58〕 Its disappointing performance relative to previous single "There's No Other Way" marked the end of Blur's initial period of popularity, which would not be equalled until the release of "Girls & Boys" three years later. Its music video bears a similarity to that of frontman Damon Albarn's other project, virtual band Gorillaz's "Tomorrow Comes Today", which was released ten years later. At the beginning of the song, a man can be heard saying "bang" in a sardonic tone as he rides a train. ==Track listings== All songs written by Albarn and Blur. ;7" and cassette #"Bang" – 3:34 #"Luminous" – 3:13 ;12" #"Bang (Extended)" – 4:27 #"Explain" – 2:44 #"Luminous" – 3:13 #"Uncle Love" – 2:31 ;CD (released 5 August 1991) #"Bang" – 3:34 #"Explain" – 2:44 #"Luminous" – 3:13 #"Berserk" – 6:52 ;12" - US Promo (''Mindwarp Mutations'') #"Bang" (MW Big Bang 12" Mix) – 5:34 #"Bang" (MW Groove Mix) – 5:20 #"Bang" (MW 40 Feet Under Mix) – 7:13 #"Bang" (MW Hardcore Assault Mix) – 5:34 #"She's So High" (MW Ecstacy 12" Mix) – 6:35 *Released 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bang (Blur song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
