Get Your Gun
"Get Your Gun" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Terry Cox.[1] It was released as a single by Zakatek (aka Lenny Zakatek) on Bell Records on 12 October 1973.[2][3] The b-side was another de Paul and Cox penned song "Gotta Runaway".[4] Both sides were produced by de Paul and the strings were arranged by Christopher Gunning and de Paul.[2][3] It has been described as "Freaky, bizarre and ultimately interesting and a definite one-off".[5]
A German language version with the title "Roter Mann" with German lyrics written by Gunter Gabriel was released in 1974, also on Bell Records and sung by Zakatek.[6][7] This version was released on the German compilation album, 1000 Nadelstiche - Amerikaner Und Briten Singen Deutsch (1000 pin pricks - Americans and Brits sing in German) on Bear Family Records in 2002.[8]
