The Song
"Shang-a-Lang" is a song from the Bay City Rollers 1974 debut album Rollin', from which it was the second advance single, the track being produced by the song's writers Bill Martin and Phil Coulter.
"Shang-a-Lang" was Bay City Roller's fifth single release and their third to place in the UK charts, its tenure being ten weeks in the spring of 1974 with a peak of number 2 being held off from the number 1 position by another nostalgic track: "Sugar Baby Love" by The Rubettes.

Lyrics
We were rippin' up
We were rockin' up
Roll it over and lay it down
We were shakin' it
We were breakin' it
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 and we ran with the gang
Doin' doo wop be dooby do aye
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 aye
With the jukebox playing and every body saying that
"Music like ours couldn't die"
We were grooving it
We were movin' it
Pussy footin' and booting it 'round
We were boppin' it
We were hoppin' it
Really jumping 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
And 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 aye
With the jukebox playing and every body 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 aye
With the jukebox playing and every body saying that
"Music like ours couldn't die"
