Name: Shang-A-Lang - Free Download
Duration: P00H03M22S
Description: One of my favourite Bay City Rollers songs recorded as a tribute to the very recently departed Les McKeown. I have always wanted to do a cover version of this track and now seemed like a fitting time. It has actually turned out a lot more poppy than I had envisaged so at some point I may record a "punkier" version but this will more than do for now. I hope you think I have done the song justice.

lyrics

We were rippin' up
We were rockin' up
Roll it over and lay it down
We were shakin' up
We were breakin' up
We were rockin' to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

Hey, hey, rockin' to the music
Hey, hey, rocking to the music
Rocking every night and day, hey hey

Well we sang shang-a-lang as we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
We were all in the news
With our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away
Yeah we sang shang-a-lang
And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
Music like ours couldn't die

We were grooving
We were movin'
Pussyfootin' and putting it round
We were boppin'
We were hoppin'
We were jumping to the shang-a-lang sound of the music

Hey, hey, rockin' to the music
Hey, hey, rockin' to the music
Rocking every night and day, hey hey

We sang shang-a-lang
And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
We were all in the news
With our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away
Yeah we sang shang-a-lang
And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
Music like ours couldn't die

Shang-a-lang,
Shang-a-lang,
Shang-a-lang
Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang
Yeah we sang shang-a-lang

And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
With the jukebox playing and everybody saying that
Music like ours couldn't die
Well we sang shang-a-lang
And we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do ay
We were all in the news
With our blue suede shoes
And our dancin' the night away
