D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Bang Bang Lulu
A while back (Tuesday, November 27, 2025 to be exact) I shared with all you Itchies a few songs which probably weren’t about Little Lulu, and another one which was. Today I give you the exact opposite – A song that’s definitely NOT about Little Lulu yet seems to be referenced in the comics!
The song “Bang Bang Lulu” has been around for decades. It’s a popular number in the double entendre genre. Just when you think they’re going to say something dirty, they say “bang bang” instead. Several iterations of the song have been recorded in different styles with a wide variety of verses. There’s even a reggae version! One of my favorites is by Doug Clark and The Hot Nuts.
The other day I was enjoying the latest volume of the excellent series of Little Lulu reprints from Dark Horse when I stumbled upon this panel…
Coincidence? Or did John Stanley know the song “Bang Bang Lulu” and decide to include this double entendre panel as an inside joke? We may never know…
