About Boom Bang-A-Bang

"Boom Bang-a-Bang" is a song recorded by British singer Lulu. The song was written by Alan Moorhouse and Peter Warne. It is best known as the British winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, held in Madrid. It was the joint winner with three other entries: Salomé singing "Vivo cantando" for Spain, Lenny Kuhr singing "De troubadour" for the Netherlands, and Frida Boccara singing "Un jour, un enfant" for France. The song was the second consecutive entry with a nonsense title to win the contest (after Massiel's triumph in 1968 with "La La La"), and became infamous in the comedy world - most notably inspiring Monty Python's Flying Circus to parody it with "Bing Tiddle-Tiddle Bong" (Python precursor I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again had previously had Bill Oddie do something similar with a song for which the title was rendered entirely in sound effects). The Python parody song was part of the "Europolice Song Contest" sketch in the "How To Recognize Different Parts of the Body" episode in 1970. more »

Come closer, come closer and listen
The beat of my heart keeps on missing
I notice it most when we?re kissing
Come closer and love me tonight
That's right
Come closer and cuddle me tight
My heart goes 
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won't you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time
It?s such a lovely feeling
When I'm in your arms
Don't go away
I want to stay my whole life through
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Close to you
Your smile is so warm and inviting
The thought of your kiss is exciting
So hold me and don't keep me waiting
Come closer and love me tonight
That's right
Come closer and cuddle me tight
My heart goes
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
When you are near
Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang
Loud in my ear
Pounding away, pounding away
Won't you be mine?
Boom bang-a-bang-bang all the time
It?s such a lovely feeling
When I'm in your arms
Now you are near
I want to hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
I love you
It?s such a lovely feeling
When I'm in your arms
Now you are near
I want to hear your heartbeat too
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
Boom bang-a-bang-bang
I love you
