Thank you for posting this video and helping me to settle a 'dispute' between me and my DD as to who sang this song originally.... I knew it was Cher ;)
Cher recorded the song 1st in 1966 - it was written by Sonny Bono. Nancy Sinatra recorded it later 1968 I think - around then. Nancy Sinatra's is the one used in Kill Bill that a lot of people think is the original. Its not. Cher's is. This version by Cher was recorded I think in the 1980's
MUCH better than the version from the 60s! This is the sound of eternity; it will always sound modern and up to date. :) The version from the 60s sounds just old.
It's a good song, whether by Nancy Sinatra or Cher; and obviously, very versatile. The slow version is almost heart wrenching, while this rock version is like angry sad.
um person who said i dont no my cher facts wat is her real name if you are so smart and insulting people over the internet u need some lessons in manners us southerners dont take crap like that - cherstyler great video - i am sorry i freaked out on that person th really agrivated me
For some people's info, Sonny did write this personally for Cher and Cher only. Not Nancy Sinatra. This is Cher's song......you obviously don't know your Cher facts.
@g0kuenuan Cher recored it first in 1966 and charted at #2 and sold millions with it, it was written for her by her then husband Sonny Bono! Sinatra covered it a year later!
Nancy Sinatra's version is way better??? By what standards? Your personal opinion maybe....but this version is awesome...sounds almost like a Jim Steinman rock opera track!!! Don't insult Cher by saying that Nancy Sinatra's version is better....all 3 versions of this song are all well deserving of notoriety.
I like the fact that EVERYONE is NOT reading the video description detailing everything about this song's past first before the post stuff up to make themselves look completely retarded. "Shot me down" is originally by Cher, but this isn't the original version. She redid it. The original she did was in the 60's, of which Nancy did a cover of. This was just a rock version she did of her original song.
Well the original is by Cher indeed but the 1966 original is completely different from this version, so no, this version is not the original. I prefer Nancy's cover too, but for a real treat, look up Elie Dupuis' French cover.
I've listened to this quite a bit, it's the best version, but I swear that person in the pic with her head thrown back, standing in front of Cher looks just like Tilda Swinton.
Oh for gods sake, they're so different you can hardly compare them. This is rock and epic-ness ;D, the Nancy Sinatra version's more of a... ballad? I think that's the wrong word, but it's very slow tempo.
WILD Version, This song need like this version (feral) BANG BANG

Nancy can't hold a candle next to Cher. Just 'cause she's got daddy's last name doesn't mean she's automatically a musical talent.
