Lyrics:
She got a body like an hourglass
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive (Oh)
(You've been waiting for that)
(Stop, hold up, swing your bat)
See anybody could be bad to you
You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah
Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute, let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute, let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)
She might'a let you hold her hand in school
But I'ma show you how to graduate
No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk
Just come and show me what your momma gave ya (Oh, yeah)
I heard you've got a very big (Shh)
Mouth but don't say a thing
See anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind
Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute, let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute, let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, yeah) (You know what, girls?)
(Let me show you how to do it)
It's Myx Moscato
It's frizz in a bottle
It's Nicki full throttle
It's oh, oh
Swimming in the grotto
We winning in the lotto
We dipping in the pot of blue foam, so
Kitten so good
It's dripping on wood
Get a ride in the engine that could go
Batman robbin' it
Bang, bang, cockin' it
Queen Nicki dominant, prominent
It's me, Jessie, and Ari
If they test me they sorry
Ride his uh, like a Harley
Then pull off in his Ferrari
If he hangin' we bangin'
Phone rangin', he slangin'
It ain't karaoke night but get the mic 'cause I'm singin' (Uh)
B to the A, to the N, to the G, to the uh (Baby)
B to the A, to the N, to the G, to the, hey
See anybody could be good to you
You need a bad girl to blow your mind (Your mind)
Bang, bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)
Bang, bang into the room (I know you want it)
Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it)
Yo, I said
Bang, bang
Bang, bang, ba-bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, ba-bang, bang
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know you want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let you have it)
Wait a minute let me take you there (Ah)
Wait a minute 'til ya (Ah, hey!)

Lauren's progression from rapping slowly into screaming was incredible

[@dangkolache]

she's an enigma fr

[@anthonykearney608]

Totally agree

[@adamh1275]

That part gave me goosebumps

[@andreawest2194]

I’ve never heard that before and it was awesome

[@erikaoeser6268]

Was so sick

Lauren, I believe I can speak for everyone when I say she nailed this one.

[@FunWideWeb]

No. It's below their true skill set. This band is a legend in the making. Find your original voice and your skills will take you far beyond these songs.. into history.

[@macroefish]

hell yeh

[@Nennsir]

hell yes!

[@davidstratton696]

Off topic but do u change that thing that says how many subs u have all the time? Currently it’s says u have exactly 132,999.

[@warfang67-PS5]

My hasn’t changed like this after that😦

[@buddhanebula3914]

I had a feeling Lauren was going to do the Nicki Minaj part, but I was expecting it to be 100% screaming. I did not expect the rap, it was great!

[@a_blaze]

I love it as well!!

[@brucenicholson261]

She's amazing they all are

[@laurenbabic]

One of my favs by a long shot 🤘🏼 MERMS WELCOME TO THE HCU

Lauren your amazing humor and your absolutely amazing voice is why you always will be the greatest Avenger in the HCU. ❤

[@AlannaSterling]

This is probably the coolest thing I've ever done in my life, so glad to be a part of this. We all slayyyyyyed! Thanks Halocene for hosting me & Lauren for blessing me with those glorious screams!

[@laurenbabic]

❤️❤️❤️ KILLIN IT

[@topangamariewolfe]

I have never heard of you before this video @AlannaSterling but hell ya girl this was killer and you all did amazingly I totally subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to seeing what else you do!

[@jorgsteinberg6160]

Hi Merms, It was really cool seeing you work with Halocene. I hope there will be more collabs in the future.

[@coreylittle450]

It’s gotta be SO FUN working with Halocene! Everyone from the group is AMAZING! And Lauren is so talented!

[@brianjones9165]

I love Halocene, and they keep introducing me to other fantastic artists. Add Alanna Sterling to the list. You have such an amazing voice

[@jonvega9385]

When they talked about it during their stream Addie said "You guys aren't ready for Bang Bang." I HAD A WARNING AND STILL WASN'T READY.

[@joecolman1968]

Any time Lauren gets involved you know it's going to be a banger

[@warfang67-PS5]

Extremely

[@steamygrave]

The whole time I was like, c'mon "release the babic". Loved it.

[@MariinaHeiin]

I think i can speak for everyone that Lauren killed this one 🤘😍

[@BR25x]

Lauren has fully ascended from the HYPE in songs to the BARZ bringer, my word.. What a fun cover, y'all slayed out. Well done Addie, Alanna and Lauren(and Broe too)!!

[@justinfox219]

Addie has gone super saiyan on her vocals, I feel like she really showcased what she can do, in this cover. She just cemented the title of my favourite vocalist.

[@donnasilvio3974]

They all killed it! But Lauren's rap is my new favorite thing ever!!!

[@n.kempland2825]

I need more of rapping Lauren.

Absolutely blown away. As a fan of Mermaid Unicorn since their winning performance of this song on Twitch Sings, I LOVE this collab so much! Alanna KILLED it and Lauren on the rap holy moly. That harmonies are insane between Addie and Alanna. BLESSED for this colab🙏

[@AlannaSterling]

Thank you!! My heart is full 💖

[@vincentcloud]

Lauren absolutely nailed this song. The range she had from fast rapping to her incredible metal voice and screams was so good.

[@Stan_Carrey]

Hey the Band ! 😃 Powerful song ! Thanks y'all and blessings ! 🙌🎵

[@Halocene]

Thanks so much

[@Robert_Douglass]

Ari, Jessie and Nicki: We're gonna go hard with this one. Addie, Alanna, and Lauren: We're gonna end these girls' entire career. Explosively. Now all we need is for AI Mori to do a Russian language cover of this and It. Is. Done! Only thing left of those pop princesses' careers will be Hawking radiation...

[@rogerledoux4741]

They were great but Jessie J not only wrote the song but killed it

[@Y4ngCP]

@@rogerledoux4741 well Jessie J is freaking talented man, she is from other world

[@BainneK10]

Yep, I'm in love. 😍 Everything about this was awesome. Addie and Alanna nailed the main body of the song. You two looked incredible, if I may say so, and like you had a lot of fun making this. The Notorious B.A.B.I.C. slayed the rap. Joe slapped as always. And I always enjoy both Brad's rocking and production. Absolute banger of a song. 🤘

[@archnitedesigns3575]

Unicorns and Babics in the Ceneverse. What a combination. Love the high energy vibes!

[@jillian4068]

I still remember how cool it was when Merms vistited you, I'm so excited to finally see this release! It's everything Addie hyped it to be and I can see why it's her personal fave. It looks like it was a blast to make and it turned out epic. Let's not forget the addition of Release the BABIC! OMG, too good. Love the fun and vibrant feel of this video. Video production and especially the choice of lighting makes this complete!

[@chris_8510]

Lauren puts a crown on what would have been a pretty nice cover in itself

[@EhrineAshbark]

I've been eagerly waiting for this one ever since Merms visited. It did not disappoint! Killer as always!

[@Halocene]

💙 Thank you so much! 💙

[@candym0nz826]

Holy hell this goes hard!!! Addie and Merms being amazing, Lauren coming in hot with the BARZ, and Brad and Joe melting faces on the guitar and drums! Kudos to everyone, keep it up y’all!!! 💙

[@SpaceCouncil]

You know, it's strange. I think I would have found you guys about 2 years sooner (around the time of Breathin' and God is a Woman) than I actually did had I not chosen to live inside a drunken fugue for a decade. I had a phase where I pretty much exclusively listened to Ariana Grande metal covers, I'm honestly not sure how I didn't find you outside of blind drunkenness. - Feeling a bit cathartic, if not wistful, as my 2 years sober date is coming up in a week and a half and I heavily associate my finding Halocene with my sobriety - as they happened within the same 3 month period. Dec 2019 finding the KZbin channel through a combo of This is Our War, Simmer/Decode and Sex E Bro to Feb 17th 2020, when I actually followed on Twitch, the last day that I drank was Feb 14th 2020. I knew I had a problem with alcohol after about 1 year of drinking, it took me another 6 years to accept I had a problem, it took me another 3 to actually do anything about it. But more to the point, it's a great cover and I'm honored to be associated with the journey ahead.

[@Halocene]

💕 Thanks for sharing your story. So happy for your bright future!

[@SpaceCouncil]

@@Halocene Thanks for letting me.

[@wwekid1457]

[@wesleyreimer3868]

Be proud of yourself, my guy! I've gone through a similar journey with alcohol, so I feel the things you've gone through. Stay metal 🤘😊

[@fireflyink]

Lauren Babic is an absolute BADASS

[@gwooledge]

I was waiting for Lauren to arrive in a helicopter. Seriously though, the vocal parts are *intense* in this. Great job, everyone.

[@AlannaSterling]

Looks✅ Makeup✅ Outfits✅ Video✅ Colour Palette✅ Vocal Runs✅ Rap ✅ Screams ✅ Studio mix balance & perfect vocal panning✅ Djenty guitars ✅ Heavy drums✅ Absolute babes✅ Insane Talent✅ this video has everything I need and more and I'm not sorry that I can't shut up about it.

[@hayleydanvers1614]

The long awaited return of rapping Babic.

[@Remmemory]

With the original song being such a mess to over power one another, this is so balanced and well done!! The Drums accompanying were perfection!

[@AK90]

The original wasnt too bad until Nicki Minaj showed up. What a shit of a human being lol

[@nethercookiez50yearsago55]

[@najadahmer4862]

Right! The original version seems like a song where Jessie J and Ariana was in a “who was the best voice” competition or something... Love Jessie J’s voice, it’s amazing! But yeah.. that song was a mess.. So glad they made it to a rock version! And it’s so damn good!

[@jaderolph2635]

This was an EPIC cover...Lauren you were on FIRE!!! 🔥🔥❤‍🔥

[@Donnywarrhammer]

Just when you think Lauren can’t do anymore she spits that flow. If I ever see her jump on the drums at this point I’m going to consider it a sign of the apocalypse.

[@brucenicholson261]

Gotta love Lauren's screaming

[@doritochic]

I had no idea I needed Addie to sing Jessy J’s part but I guess I know now. WOWWWWW incredible job to you all!!!!

[@katrinapaton5283]

THE Mermaid Unicorn? Damn, Halocene making it to the big time! Amazing example of how to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary, you guys killed it.

[@erinmar13]

i can just FEEL the early 2000s teen movie vibes coming off this...

[@tjenk401]

This is unbelievable. How did I not know this existed?

[@markwoodhead9592]

My daughter is absolutely enthralled with Lauren and we both love this song and don't know why. Y'all knocked this out of the park.

[@christinas8596]

So hype!! Lauren's part was amazing as always too! You all hit it out of the park!

[@Spartacus71090]

Straight up lost it when Lauren started up.. mind blown! Full blown goose bumps. slayed it love you all. Excellent.

Right? I can't get over this one in its original form, and this took it many levels higher!

[@EmanueleCorsi]

Outstanding performance by everyone. But forgive me, when I listen to Lauren (whether it is clean singing or scream or EVEN fast rap as I find out today!!) I just melt down.

[@SpecialFX99]

This has soon much energy, I love it!

[@kakarocks317]

Absolutely incredible as per usual. Wouldn't expect any less by now but it's quite clear to see why everyone wanted you to just play this on repeat when Merms came to yours last year. It's like you were destined to play this together with the bonus Lauren thrown in there too! Looking forward to requesting it a bunch on twitch from now on! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CarBENbased]

When I saw "Bang Bang" I was thinking Nancy Sinatra, boy was I surprised! AMAZING cover, your voices harmonize really well! And Lauren killed it as always!

[@Gurlzup123]

Genre bending songs is such an amazing thing. It's always cool to see how a song fairs when composed differently, and it never fails to amaze me on how well so many songs work with this kind of treatment. You guys never fail to do a good job. You are seriously underrated, and I don't know why you're not bigger than you are. The guests on this one killed it. I never would have thought to in that kind of direction for Niki's part but it worked so well. Keep up the good stuff guys!

[@tombarnes3710]

Fun, wow, this version really works, great job on this one.
