"Bang" is a song by the Soviet rock band Gorky Park, released in 1989 as the lead single from the band's self-titled debut album.[2]

The music video for "Bang" received heavy rotation on the American MTV,[3] where it stayed two months in MTV's Top 15, peaking at number 3.[4] The song reached number 41 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, but didn't enter the Hot 100.[5] In Europe, the single was probably most successful in Norway, where it spent 6 weeks in the VG-lista Topp 10, four of them at number 5.[6][7]
