Get It On (Bang A Gong) Lyrics
They're not a one hit wonder or anything buddy. listen to ballrooms of mars, spaceball ricochet, the slider, etc..
maybe gong means a reject… like the gong show… if you get “gonged” you’re out, no good… he’s saying take one for the team … so what if she’s skinny, waddles around, the size of a car, dirty, etc. … ya boy needs you…
If you listen to the very end he says "Meanwhile I'm still thinkin" which is a line from Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie" where he says that exact thing several times.

The obvious is obvious but I'm suprised that this song doesn't have more comments. We get it. But wtf is bang a gong? OH BOY WHAT A SONG
Thats a gong and bang means hit
Thats a gong and bang means hit
This song is kinda obvious about the theme, I guess it was the only hit he had. You know this song starts off every CD Ive made. Its so cool...
@Yakuza Warlord You'd be from the US, It was his only hit there, America just didn't get him, but then Bowie broke through. He had many hits in other countries and was a major star for half a decade in his homeland

this song has one of the best beats to it, it's a classic
i agree with knate they're no one hit wonder. they usta tour with zepp.
Well, it depends on where you're coming from. In the UK, they had a bunch of hits, but in the US it's safe to say this was their only hit.
Anyway, it's kind of amazing how cool this song still sounds after it's been used in a ton of commercials and has basically been played to death. Makes me want to smoke a ciggerette and lean up against a wall, but I quit.
I would have liked this as a chorus
Sing a Song...Bang a Gong...Get it on!
Still, it's a great tune and the song's riff is one of a kind, not to be copied or cheated.
>Yeah, that would be so cool if it was Sing a Song...Bang a Gong...Get it on!
only not.
