Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bang bang bang the bigger the better [x4]

You ain't a baby no more baby
You ain't no bigger than before baby
I'll rub that cheap black off your lips baby
So take a swallow as I spit baby

As a fuck son, you sucked [x8]

My skin tonight is a blazing
But I don't think you're my type
What I need tonight's the real thing
I need the real thing tonight

As a fuck son, you sucked [x8]

The bigger the better
Bang bang bang
The bigger the better

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh come on

Yeah yeah yeah

What I need tonight is the real thing yeah!

I need the real thing tonight

Yeah yeah yeah





Yeah yeah oh oh
Come on alright

Overall Meaning

The song Bang! by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs has a very bold and provocative tone. The opening lines are repetitive in nature, emphasizing the importance of the phrase "the bigger, the better". The song seems to be referencing sexual desires, with the lyrics "you ain't a baby no more" and "I'll rub that cheap black off your lips" suggesting the involvement of an older partner who is experienced in the ways of the world. The lyrics "take a swallow as I spit" furthers this concept of domination and control, with the implication that the singer is taking charge.


The second half of the song shifts slightly, with the singer expressing a desire for the "real thing". It is unclear exactly what this refers to, but it could be interpreted as a desire for emotional and intellectual intimacy rather than just physical pleasure. The repetition of the phrase "as a fuck son, you sucked" throughout the song adds to the overall aggressive and unapologetic tone.


In summary, the song Bang! by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a sexually charged and unapologetic expression of desire, with lyrics emphasizing dominance and control. The second half of the song suggests a desire for deeper connection, but this is overshadowed by the dominant tone of the rest of the song.
