About This Song
About "Bang a Gong (Originally Performed by U2 & Elton John) (Instrumental Mix)" by Backing Business
U2 and Elton John's collaboration is stripped to an instrumental, its rock swagger and piano stomp still potent. The title 'Bang a Gong' evokes a glam-rock rallying cry, a glittery fist in the air. Tension is the spark before the chorus, a coiled energy waiting to explode into a celebratory shout.
