Bang Bang, You Shot Me Down - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2021
- July 2021 marks four years since Kitty Lux, co-founder of the Ukulele Orchestra died. Before her death several different re-mixes of her singing, (worked on by a renowned European group of Ibiza DJs), taken from her recording with the orchestra of the song “Bang Bang, You Shot Me Down”, were released.
Given that Kitty started off drawing attention with her own song and group “Sheeny and the Goys”, and the punk classic “Pretty Girls”, and that she went on to make recordings with the acclaimed ahead-of-its-time Leeds indie band “Really”, (including contributions from George Hinchliffe and UOGB and “Really” co-founder, bass player and composer David Bowie ) and that the Ukulele Orchestra (as well as releasing its own products) has had releases by Ministry of Sound, Volume, Cosmosonica, The Big Chill, Longman, Takyon, CBS, Sony, Discethnique, and other entities concerned with contemporary sounds, it is only appropriate that the voice of Kitty Lux (and Lux is her real name, not an onstage concoction), continues to have a contemporary effect on listeners years after her death.
This video shows vintage shots of Kitty Lux and the Ukulele Orchestra, and features the original UOGB recording of “Bang Bang, You Shot Me Down”, the song made famous by Nancy Sinatra, Sony Bono, Cher and Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill.
You can read about the CD of all of the Ibiza remixes, and the original UOGB track via the link below, where the CD of all of them is also available for sale. These remixes were also released by Buddha Bar, and have made waves as choice chill-out tracks.

Kitty’s voice and original compositions are also prominently featured on all the tracks on the 1989 LP recorded by the Ukulele Orchestra: “Hearts of Oak”, which the Guardian reviewed, proclaiming: “At last, the ukulele has found its avant-garde”.

What a superb tribute to both the person and the song. RIP Kitty.
Thank you profoundly for this fitting memorial to Kitty. RIP, dear Kitty, although it has been years, the loss does not get any less.
Four years! Bloody hell. 😢 Sorely missed.
Rest well beautiful lady. A voice like silk. Takes hold of your soul in a velvet glove and just holds it there.
Truly astonishing.
Her spirit will always live on through UOGB and in all who knew her I’m sure.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece in her memory.
That lovely voice and calm demeanor. When I first learned of the UOGB and bought some DVDs I was transfixed by her every move. And that voice, interpreting songs with such depth. Thank you Kitty.
It’s good to see her smiling.
Producing the Ibiza Air remixes and to work with You was an great Honor ! Rest in Paradise Kitty and stay well dear Ukes Band. 🙏❤️
Great tribute to Kitty Lux. And what a great name, by the way. She should’ve joined The Cramps with a name like that. Lux Interior, Kitty Lux, Fur Dixon…
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful performer by an incredible group… no words can be sufficient in times of grief, but a part of her will always go on as long as the music continues to play.
This is a beautiful rendition of a classic song, but I will remember her for the happiness she brought to the world.
Returned to your channel after a couple of years. I had no idea that Kitty had passed on.. My condolences to all of you. What a beautiful and fitting tribute.
Lovely gesture. RIP Kitty. We all loved you. xxx
