Bang Bang Bang
The Business Intl Mark Ronson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un, deux, trois
Bang, bang, bang

Feathers, I'm plucking feathers
One by one, by one
No more skylarking, around my head
Your information
But there's no hiding, behind moulting feathers

On the plane, on my brain, 'bout to do the sho'
40k contract, take it out the do'
Dice, symbolize my life, roll 'em on the flo'
From your grubby hands, as you hand the grandstand
You live a shitty life, we live a bon, bon vie
Hotter than the book, while we watch the tv
Think you got us fooled, ooh never again
First time, shame on me, second time, your time will end

No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete
Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete

No way, no, (the clock) it's ticking forward
No way, it's just a cruel, cruel world

Cruel world is fittin', they got us all hittin'
With late night divisions, and lab app decisions
But based with decisions, to fight a fricassee
And you've clearly decided, on how to handle me
Difficile, imbecile, is it fake, is it real
Are we dying on our feet, are we trying in our sleep
There's a rumour goin' 'round, 'bout the suits runnin' town
If you look into the sky, them birds fly high, high, high

Numbers, you got that number
You're looking outwards, and don't see the big picture
Over your shoulder, you'll get no last words
Because it's too late, you've clipped your own wings (your own wings)

No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete
Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete

We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
We're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
We're believin' in the proof, we're believin' in the truth
We're believin' in each other, not you, you, you

Stories (you with the tall tales), how many stories (so many tall tales)
We climb the structure (you scale the ladder)
You build it higher (you make us madder)
We take our aim (so now we're bearin' off)
You perch above your nest (in your charms)
The stories in your head (it's a crazy bald head)
That's what got you dead

No way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete
Bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
Je te plumerai la, tete
Je te plumerai la, tete

Un, deux, trois
No one ever does it like that anymore
Bang, bang, bang
When feathers fly, you deny everything (alouette)
Un, deux, trois
No one ever does it like that anymore




Bang, bang, bang (alouette)
When feathers fly, you deny everything yo

Overall Meaning

The song "Bang Bang Bang" by Mark Ronson and The Business Intl is about taking down a deceitful person or entity. The lyrics describe someone who is dishonest, represented by feathers that the singer is plucking one by one, revealing the truth that was previously hidden. The singer implies that this person or entity is trying to manipulate them and others, but it will soon be too late for them since they’ve caused their downfall themselves. The line β€œNo way, bang your dead, here's your silhouette” implies that whatever is being represented will soon be gone forever.


The song also touches on themes of power, money, and status. The line β€œ40k contract, take it out the do'” suggests that the person or entity being referenced is being paid a lot of money for their deceitful ways. The lyrics also reference people living bon, bon vie (the good life), implying that the deceiver should be jealous.


Finally, the song touches on themes of rebellion and standing up against what is wrong. The line β€œstories in your head (it's a crazy bald head) that's what got you dead” implies that the deceiver’s own thoughts and lies are what led to their downfall. The final line of the song, β€œWhen feathers fly, you deny everything,” could suggest that the truth has been revealed and that the deceiver can no longer evade it.

Still listening in 2024! Reminds me of happy times in the early 2010's.

@marisols.856

kinda glad this one didn’t blow up to the extent of uptown funk because it feels more like a cool secret

@aldude999

the 2010s did a good job on bringing back the 80's sound. Hopefully the 2020s bring back the 90's

@lucamcardle729

"Secret" with 9.3M veiws

@marisols.856

@@lucamcardle729 i know it's no secret at all haha, I just meant it in a sense that if you compare the way uptown funk blew up to the way this blew up, it does feel more like a little hidden treasure

@Kaiiibaa

@@lucamcardle729 Uptown funk has 4B views.... I'd say this is a little secret considering the earth's population is 7B and this isn't even 1B

@Maori4LyfeNZ

@@Kaiiibaa kinda annoying and satisfying at the same time πŸ˜‚

13 years and still nothing better in this style out there.

@lunahlulah6772

I love how this sounds like it's from the 60s, 80s, and 2000s simultaneously

@nofancypants

Totally see what you mean - kinda Motown-ish beat in the chorus, 80s synths, 2000's vocals and production...it's fab!
