This is the original version, it was written for Cher, NOT Nancy Sinatra- from what I'v heard.
-
YES! I knew it.. I hate it when people refer to Sinatra's version as the original. :P

The Bang Bang song begin from CHER only
-
This is definitely the original of Cher singing, just sped up a little. The song was written by Sonny for Cher's secong solo album. Nancy's version appeared the same year, but after Cher's.

@scramasboy yes. but the sinatra version is better. but i hate cher.....
-
but nancy sang it better
-
@allegrafi Ditto-amen to that opinion!
-
@Cheapbeatlewhore You are correct-this isn't Nancy-her cover is much slower-always loved this version of the song the best-not crazy what Cher did with it later but is her tune so glad someone uploaded this one!
-
Original and best. Nancy's version sounds pedestrian and strained, Cher's later arrangement sounds over the top. This one just suits the music.
-
Finally, one of you knows the facts. (No disrespect intended) but I remember this song very well. Yes, the speed is off, that's why it doesn't sound like Cher. This is Cher, folks, and Nancy covered it later. And, it rocks the socks off her new version, which is over-produced.
-
No, it was sung by Cher only on her solo album from '66. This is cher, but the speed is off so it doesn't really sound like her.

Best Version Ever - Original Cher version. I used to listen to this as a kid and act it out. LOVE IT!!!

Sonny and Cher are the copyright holders of the lyrics and music, but that voice is not cher, its more like Nancy Sinatra.

have a look on any cher 60s hits compilation and you will find this exact recording on them. actually it is sonny bono who held all copyright with the management team at the time. the single is a uk original on liberty cat no 66160 from 1966. from 1967 most 45s had the green demo labels under the emi group. it had already been a no 1 hit for cher before nancy even laid down the track to tape, and stevie wonder had it on his down to earth lp from 66

I don't thing this is Cher at all. Moreover Bang Bang was sung by Sonny & Cher together. Nancy Sinatra made a later cover. No doubt, in 1966 the original version was by Sonny & Cher! I still must have te rekord somewhere.

believe me this is cher only! it was a worldwide hit reaching no1 in a few countrys too. sonny wrote this and probably played on a instrument on it, but never sang on this 45! as a serious fan for 25yrs i know who sang on what and when.

i disagree, i prefer the cher version, nancys lacks excitement in it, too flat n plain
