"Bang Bang Bang"
Song

"Bang Bang Bang" is the first single taken from Record Collection, the third studio album by Mark Ronson, released under the moniker Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. The song features rapper Q-Tip and singer Amanda Warner of MNDR. It released on 11 July, 2010 in the UK.[1] The song is based on the popular French Canadian children's song "Alouette", which means "skylark". The chorus directly references lyrics from "Alouette" including the line "Je te plumerai la tête", which means "I shall pluck your head". The beginning of the music video also depicts a young girl singing the opening lines to 'Alouette'.

Music video

The music video, featuring (from left to right) Q-Tip, Mark Ronson and Amanda Warner.

The music video was directed by Warren Fu.[2]

Daniel Kreps from Rolling Stone described the video as,

Bookended by two seemingly unrelated pieces of footage — a fictitious retro commercial for sandwich spread and a dramatic tennis match — "Bang Bang Bang" stars Ronson as the guest on an offbeat, '70s-style Japanese talk show. When he's asked to chat about his music, Ronson transforms into a smooth Bryan Ferry figure and hops behind a bank of synthesizers to perform his latest composition. The clip is equal parts American Bandstand and Tron — and the most effective time-capsule music video since Snoop Dogg resurrected the Rick James era with "Sexual Eruption."[3]

Critical reception

Anthony Hill from Clickmusic describes "Bang Bang Bang" as having "the impromptu charm and inexorable appeal of a 1980s New York block party." Hill further comments, "'Un, deux, trois,' slams the intro, revealing the exact number of seconds it takes Mark Ronson's latest effort to gatecrash its way into the brain. Once lodged among the neurons, it deftly impels every muscle and limb to move spasmodically to its infectious beat."[4]

Chart performance

"Bang Bang Bang" first debuted on the Irish Singles Chart at number 20 on 15 July 2010. The following week the single climbed 2 places to a current peak of number 18. The single also debuted on the UK Singles Chart on 18 July 2010 at number 6, marking Ronson's fourth Top 10 hit and third most successful single to date.
