Slade - The Bangin' Man Lyrics






When you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door
And your head won't stop singin'
The phone won't stop ringin'
Your plane is gonna leave at 12.15
It was close to 6 o'clock
Before you got to know a little dream

Look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home

I been in fifty diff'rent towns
In fifty diff'rent days
They all got different names
I been in fifty limousines
In fifty hotel rooms
They all look the same
And your head won't stop crackin'
Your case needs unpackin'
The only sound is from the TV screen
Until a knock comes on the door
And standing there's another little dream

Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home

'cos he's a Banger

Oh when you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
A small reminder of the state you were in
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor
And your head still keeps singin'
The phone still keeps ringin'
Remember just exactly where you've been
'Cos there ain't no doubt about it
There's no better things to see
Then what you've seen

Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, get down, get down
To bangin' back home
Look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down, down, down
To bangin' back home

Slade The Bangin' Man Comments
  1. A.... S....

    Noddy Holder shows here exactly why he was the best singer of the 70s bar none.
    Its a good song. Not a killer but pretty good.
    Check out what happens just after the 2:30 mark.
    The man just simply was the man. Never mind the rest.

  2. R.... O....

    I would love to find people in the London or St. Thomas Ontario area that would love to have a Slade party, I even challenge the local classic rock stations cause nobody seems to want to play any Slade but I love them. I would love to have a Slade party.

  13. R.... U....

    This song was ringing in my head at work so I had to play it. Love Slade. The best band ever.

  14. H.... S....

    One of the best of the glam-rock-years

    I bought a pair of boots like Noddy's. I thought I looked really cool until I ran for the bus, badly twisted my ankle and face planted the pavement. My left ankle still gives me trouble 43 years later! Would I change a thing - nooooooo.

    P.... S....

    So you were The Banging Man!

    P.... S....

    I think looking back that I went through every fashion phase around that time, from Noddy platform shoes to Bowies insane colour changing hair, even had a Kevin Keegan perm :)

    P.... S....

    See - that’s the glam spirit👍

    P.... S....

    USA sucks ass, theyve always been to conservative, all afraid to voice an opinion unless someone has first.

  39. p.... ....

    I love Slade!! :3

  40. T.... ....

    He could have banged me ..his damn sexy and what a voice

    T.... ....

    nice try obiro

    T.... ....

    form an orderly line please.

    T.... ....

    Omg Noddy is so fine! 🔥🔥🔥

    T.... ....

    Song is not about fucking. Well maybe they have thier girlfriends to "bang", but the song carrys a bigger message, a message about being a rock n roller, a rockstar that gives away a little bit of his soul on stage just to please the audience. Its not a sex song about banging you stupid person. Its about Rock n roll, the core of it. Just ask Johnny Ramone (if he was still alive) "tears" he would have banged your head inside out if you messed with him. Damn, he loved Slade. They all did..

    T.... ....

    😂😂😂😂👏🏼

  41. �.... �....

    Офуеть "Диско!" Уверен для Слейд термин "Глэм" придумали неудачники типа айрон или Диппурпл, записавшие за карьеру три хита на троих.

  42. F.... M....

    Bangin Man was a big hit in Germany!
    Slade was anyway very big in Germany.
    And that was good so, what a Glam Rock Band.

    The Sweet + Slade + Mad ruled Glam Rock!!!

    Slade had the advantage of the best voice.
    The Sweet was flooding the charts
    Mud was just pure fun!

    Disco (GERMANY) with Ilja Richter and Top of the Pops (TOFP, UNITED KINGDOM), was THE music shows around the world.

  43. T.... B....

    Why was this never a single? Or if it was,never a hit?

    T.... B....

    This was a single in The UK. It reached number 3 in the singles chart.

    T.... B....

    Correct.

    T.... B....

    The "Bangin' Man" was a single and it got to number 3 in the UK charts on sixth July1974. You must have been asleep for ten years!

    T.... B....

    I have this song on a solid gold hits record

  44. A.... ....

    Bang it in..............  Noddy  Rocks

  45. Z.... D....

    i love this song

  46. D.... S....

    this song gives me a hangover just listening to it again I knew that bangin' man!!

  47. A.... T....

    I always loved this song! Of course I only rudimentarily picked up a word here or there from the lyrics. It was just sounds to me, like a song in Italian or French or any other foreign language. And now, that I understand the text 39 years later, I am STILL not completely sure that I do understand the lyrics... lol... 

    A.... T....

    Doesn't matter! Cheers, and keep on goin'!
