Wow brings back memories of weekends in Brooklyn! We would be jammin to this chanting ahhhh ....beep,beep..... ahhhh.... beep beep! I am going to rock my booty to this everyday from now on ..call the police cause I'm about to kill this song!

Blowing out my hearing at 130dB through my hearing aids with this!

[ROLANDMENDOZA1]

El Cantanto, that what i think of when I hear this song, but I remember it from the 60'S LOVE IT!♥

[tharris525]

This was one of my first 45's growing up. I think I was 4 years old. It had an orange label.

[bransonbelle]

Living in NYC when this album hit the waves A gift. Oh yes, the whole album was perfect Coast to Coast.

[carabali55]

A classic, an inmortal for the times!!

[CarbLoversDiet]

@carabali55

It certainly ghetto fabulous. It was one of those songs that we grooved a whole summer to.

[jsflm]

like if the bang bang club got you here :)(:

[TeeDee215]

Wow!!! I remember hearing this when I was about 2 or 3 and singing along. I think that this song probably started my love affair with Latin music. God I love this!!!! Somewhere there is an old reel to reel with me and my little brother singing this. I'm so glad my mother listened to all kinds of music, and passed that love along to me and my brother. When the song restarts, my little brother would say 'another bang bang bang come on'! Good memories!!! So glad you posted this!!!! Thank you :-))

[TheDocBoyd]

Wow! This was the first song I loved with a latin beat. I was a very small child when this was out on 45 records and I forgot it until I thought of some music around 1964 and this song return to my head! Thanks for the post!

[camoor]

I love this song - always puts a smile on my face

[Zickcermacity]

I had a cover version of this song from the early '70s on a compilation LP "Disco Party". Anyone know who did the cover? VERY brassy cover.

[happycake3]

@Zickcermacity David Sanbourne did a cover of this, it's very good too...

[Zickcermacity]

@happycake3

Saw that. That's not it though. I remember laughing so hard to the Disco Party version I cried! I was only 6. I guess it's gone forever, in a landfill, imprisoned on the grooves of that long gone LP. :(

[brnsgr45]

@Zickcermacity

There's a copy done by some Miami band named Coke

[Zickcermacity]

@brnsgr45

Nope. Not it either. I think it was done by session musicians for the "Disco Party" album of 1975-76. That was a good record, had Rufus(Tell me something good) and stuff like that on it.

[fitzbaby11]

this was the shit in queens,n.y. ,back in the mid 60s. thanks 4 the posting

[moparfan59]

Not bad. I had never heard that version before. However, David Sanborn's version is what this could have been.

[foreverstudentpilot]

@moparfan59 recorded NYC mid 1960's  block party

[jdmaccord9396]

Cheo Feliciano!!! But is Willie Torres on here too? And Sabater? I've never been sure about the identity of the other voices.

[SaiyanParmos]

This song rocks... Love it...

[DownTown320]

NOW! This is Real good Time song! Love it woo woo (^_^)

[chris23316]

@hurryup...LOL!! I haven't heard the term "side" in decades with reference to a song! Love it!

[chris23316]

Hot dang!! I forgot all about this track! Thanks for posting! I was in Jr. High School when this came out! Makin me miss Los Angeles.... "Cornbread, hog maw and chitlins!" LOL I can clean some chitlins now, but I'm sorry, chitlins will never touch these lips! :)

[hurryup925]

[SuperTornado2212]

Es pegajosa! Me recuerdo bailar esta cancion cuando chico! jajaja! 

[TheSpaceJanitor]

thank you, bobbito

[musicteachjw]

It doesn't get better than this

[djmadlad]

This song was the entrance theme song for the Dunbar "Poets" basketball team in 1966-7, Lynchburg, Va!

[Ishcoa]

One of the best!

[ThatHistoryGuy]

This makes me get up and shake away the blues.

[blakeoboy]

[thecountofbasie]

Classic...if you can't move it to this one, you can't move it...period...muchos gracias

[Montsheikh]

Una canción más chévere de los años 60!@

[Montsheikh]

UNa canción más chévere de los años 60!@

[adalito3]

Nada que ver con Che Che Cole. Che Che Cole is a Bomba and Bang Bang is a Bugulu [fusion of Guajira and Rhythm & Blues]. However if you're referring to its popularity then you're right.

[JulioG99]

this song sucks

[allbuttssoldout]

@JulioG99 U need 2 lighten up. U can start w/a blunt.

[gayle2020]

cornbread, hog maw & chitterlin' - what 'chall know abt that!!!!!! love it 

[kmujerzota]

Boogaloo, loved it then and still do. Thanks for posting one of my favorites.

[elferchulikesalsa]

estoy de acuerdo contigo, allbuttssoldout.... pero la musica que exportan en estos tiempos es simplemente UNA OFENSA A LA MUSICA, me refiero al regeton que regresen los buenos tiempos de la salsa.

[conheartist]

I read an article about Joe Cuba today in an issue of WaxPoetics that said that the 'women' in the recording are actually 8 yr old boys. The guy producing the song didnt want them in the final cut but Joe Cuba thought it sounded great.

[allbuttssoldout]

If there's ever a group that knows how to party & jam = Puerto Ricans to the max!

[jms61p]

great music brings back memories from colgate gardens and hunts point palace jms61p

[jpom66]

the movie "bang bang club" brought me here

[paskuniag]

I got into this song when it made it onto WABC's top 20 a thousand years ago. Took me years to find the MP3, but it was worth the search.

[Hermunkle]

A.M. blowing out speakers.

My neighbors love me :)

[MissPerivale]

@Hermunkle Wish I was your neighbor! I would wake up with a smile on my face hearing this song.

[Babs7718]

Love this song.

[Babs7718]

Love this song. Reminds me of the days when I was young.

[kelly122p]

and of course water melon man,)

[RosarioNeneBaila]

Fabulosa, yo era una chiquilla y un hermano lo trajo de USA hasta Vzla... escuchabamos "lo ultilmo" en Bugalu, salsa, todo !

[blueyedsister1]

Been loving this song all my life and will die loving it :)

[Tzipporah36]

joe cuba #1

[dianneloveswes1]

my dad song!!!!!!!

[vintage2110]

I've looked for this song for years.!!!!

[los3nombres]

loque se escucha a esta hora #talento

[p3x4567]

Oh my I remember when this was the hottest crossover single in New York ,maybe the rest of the country . Joe Cuba was at the forefront of the boogaloo revolution of the 1960s which changed the entire notion of Latin music in New York City, and eventually the world. This transformation is chronicled on a double disc collection of his work called El Alcalde Del Barrio to be released February 23 on the revitalized Fania label.

[emmettk]

@p3x4567 Oh yeah- they used to play El Pito, Bang Bang & Oh Yeah on WWRL1600 NY back in those days- we brothers loved us some Latin music back then!

[jadedinalaska]

Love this

[GUAYACAN2009]

esta cancion esta muy lenta parese esta cancion puede ser fondo de esas peliculas de accion uyyyyyyy no mas pa funeral

[paygi110709]

TROLL.

[retrospex]

this should have over a million views by now

[henstar1]

@retrospex ....I've listened to it about that many times....hahahahaha

[expostfactum]

Is this a remake of David Sandborns song or vice versa?

[allbuttssoldout]

@expostfactum This came waaaay before Sandborne was even born!

[ronptech]

@expostfactum Put it like this - Joe Cuba's "Bang, Bang" album released in 1967. David Sanborn release "Bang, Bang" on his Upfront album in 1992.

[6Anti6Hero7]

What the fuck are you doing? That's Jimmy Bags.

[TheEstela1970]

I LOVE THIS SONG! HOWEVER I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SINGING. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME OUT? THIS WAY I CAN ENJOY IT EVEN MORE. THANKS.

[iluvjeter2]

@TheEstela1970 i just know the chorus: corn bread, hogmaw and chitterlings,  cornbread. (hope i spelled hogmaw correct)

[mojoman888]

I remember roller skating to this song. Back in the day, this was the song everybody went crazy over. Everybody got on the floor and skated to this song. Dancing and clapping to this soulful song which appealed to everyone that had any rhythm in their blood. Latin Boogaloo all the way!

[eduarverona]

bang BANG aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAA BANG BANGA aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA BANG BANG aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAA¡¡¡¡¡¡ XDXDXD

[musicteachjw]

I woke up with this song on my head -- must have been hungry. At Alpha parties, we used to chant "beep beep ah" all night in Cleveland. I had to find it. Thanks for posting. 

[GMR1620]

Love this song..I remember it very well from my childhood..we all sat around and sang along, dancing..great beat..great song to this day !!!

[conallk]

This is one of those kooky songs that gets stuck in your head for days, like "Lime in the Coconut."

[dakotajim11378]

Hey conallk, I agree but don't leave out Ray Barettos "El Watusi" equally mesmerizing when both charted in the Billboard charts in the 60s which was quite impressive, 2 very latin hits to make it's dent into the pop music world, Thank You chinita 41, and I asked you months ago to be my friend but you never accepted me. Also check out my romance channel theloveman11378, both of you won't regret it and that's a promise, Jimmy

[chinita41]

omg i'm so sorry, i have so many pending and its gotten to huge for me to go back and because of the nuts on here i have to screen everyones channel before i accept that i got to tired lol..ok i added u as a friend now..:)) bang bang!!

[lennylen360]

@chinita41 I miss those days. I f I could change anything it would be time...and do everything the same exact way again! lol

[tmnt501]

@delta1023  Che Che Cole is Tha Bomb Digity Fresh Willie Colon Knows how to bring it !!!! RIP joe cuba el rey de bogalooo ay na ma!

[MISTERQCUE]

@delta1023 :

EXACTLY what "delta" said! I grew up in East Harlem(El Barrio) in NYC & this joint here, "Che Che Cole` " & "Latin Shaft" by Joe Bataan had us gettin' our "latino groove" on most hard.....and I'm a black man raised on James Brown!

[rccvcc]

Lots and Lots of FABULOUS Memories with the familia dancing the night away to this song.

Thanks a Million for allowing us to enjoy this Salsa Classic!!

[TheGipoman]

This is sooo great. Good times!!!!!!!

[dsmusic21]

I grew up to this! Bang Bang!

[giraud74]

Great track. It get's me up. I have it in my playlist alongside "Donald Byrd & The Blackbyrds - Harlem River Drive" and "Wright, Charles & The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - Giggin' Down 103rd"

BeeBee Haaaa! Bee Bee Haaa!...Bang! Bang! lol

[jagpitt17]

Haven't heard this in over 40 years! Thank you!

[ThatHistoryGuy]

Name something culturally richer and more wonderful than boogaloo music. Thank God for cultural diffusion!

[spagetthi7]

bang bang !!!!!

[phil75o12]

el barrio latino!!!!!!!!

[realhiphop4ever]

Bang Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[bobbi6042]

What a blast from the past, thank you so very much for posting this. I sent it to all my NY cronies who remember the 60's and the good times.

[bjc19199]

gooder one!!!!!! :-)

[ggvidales]

Bang bang!

[5carlito]

Some much flavor this is the only way to do it

[greezygraft]

Lobotomy?

[hotwheelz18]

Didnt Joe play at the Boom Boom Club on Atlantic Ave in East Los Angeles in the 60's?

[skycap100]

The Joe Cuba Sextet, was probably the best group of the 60's. Why? The combination of Nick Jimenez's arrangements, Jimmy sabater's Lyrics and singing, Cheos's singing and presence molded the group into a powerhouse. Joe Cuba was a shrewd bandleader. Vibes player Tommy Berrios was preety good, and Slim Cordero's Bass was Booming. Long live Joe Cuba

[FlippinPin0y]

Wax Poetics was right about Joe Cuba. Excellent.

[Benn1988]

Yes mate, this is what it's all about, a prime slice of Tico magic!! 25*s if it'd let me go that high.

[paul51]

I remember this . . . my mother loved it and played it quite a bit!! Thanks.

[fogetabtit]

It's seems like everyone i've played this song for has an instant double shot of expresso. It' livens up the joint no matter where you are. Everyone loves it.

[renz124ny]

My dad had this single in his collection, and I didn't appreciate it until I was in college.

I downloaded it a few years back and play it for my kids...they LOVE IT!

I need help w/ lyrics though;

"...corn bread, XXXX and chili..."

WHAT is he saying after corn bread???

"Lomo"???

[DLeon21]

i believe the lyrics are

"corn bread, hog mog and chitterlings"

[renz124ny]

Aaaahhh-!

Gracias!

I had never even HEARD of Hog Mog (aka "Hog Moss" or "Hog Maw") until your post...and as you can see, I have done some extensive googling on it.

:-)

[marioeo8]

felicidades Chinita, que buena cancion del señor Joe Cuba nos acabas de regalar, y con la voz de don Cheo Feliciano, en verdad que te felicito!!! saludos desde Mexico. D.F.

[bayridgegroove]

If you're not foot/hand tapping or head rocking you might not have a pulse!

Great post!!

[blen167]

que pompiaera brutal wuuuuuuuuu ! ya tu sabes ! JOE CUBA !

[Cch092775]

1968 was a banner year for latin music in New York City. Of course there was Tito Puente (the King) but there was also Ricardo Ray, Joe Quijano, Eddie Palmieri,

Ray Barretto, Johnny Colon, Hector Rivera and the man whose song (Bang, Bang) was guaranteed to get people moving on the dance floor Joe Cuba who gave us other classics like Oh Yeah, El Pito (I'll Never Go Back To Georgia) and To Be With You. Joe Cuba will be missed. R.I.P.

[LadyLibra34]

Hey this song still rocks in New York. I was at a play near the French Institute and Caroline's comedy club. This song began to play as an intermission and just about everyone was grooving to it. It was something to see. Love it

[ToeIn2194]

5th time in a row....this song is addictive!Love it.thanks!

[LuciaLaMorenita]

R.I.P. LEGEND!!!

[puchie82766]
