Bang Bang Lulu

Bang Bang Lulu is a traditional folklore about Lulu and the men she's been with. The verses suggest explicit lyrics but each time skips to the chorus, as in

"Lulu had a boyfriend / He drove a garbage truck / Never got no garbage / 'Cos all he did was ..." [http://www.ronfry.com/lyrics/BangBangLulu.txt,lyrics]

The song has been covered by various pop artists including Goombay Dance Band and Boney M.

"Bang Bang Lulu" was a 1986 single by German band Boney M., taken from their final album "Eye Dance", released October 1985. The single failed to chart, and the group - having disbanded after their 10th anniversary - didn't promote it. It was originally intended for Liz Mitchell to sing, but she found the lyrics vulgar and refused to do it, and Reggie Tsiboe did the lead vocals, backed by session singers Amy & Elaine Goff.
