Bang! Pow! Boom! Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, you've all come a long way to be here tonight, and we say welcome
Welcome to the Dark Carnival's very extraordinarily special presentation
You have been personally selected to witness this once-in-a-lifetime, breathtaking, bomb-ass event
Live, and in person! Right here! Right now!
Without further ado, please welcome the dynamic and explosive Dark Carnival superstar attraction himself!
This is BANG! POW! BOOM!

[Chorus]
With a Bang! (BANG!)
Say goodbye to everything!
Your complete annihilation is the reason he came!
And a Pow! (POW!)
He's wiping everything out!
Turn your whole fucking world into a mushroom cloud!
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
It's your inevitable doom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!

[Verse 1: Violent J]
Welcome to the Dark Carnival super-show
You're our specially invited guests, and I'll tell you what fo'
Cause you're the evilest pedophiles, rapists and abusers
All together we've got fifty thousand of you losers

You're all about to witness an incredible sight
Nobody's ever lived to tell about it, and don't think you might
It's about to rain flames, frames and brains
To be blown into pieces is the reasons you came
Racists, bigots, wife-beaters, judges and cowards
All crowded together, expecting a show and some dollars
But instead the shit you're gonna see, you'll fear it in Hell

It's a constant explosion, see and feel it you shall!
[Chorus]
With a Bang! (BANG!)
Say goodbye to everything!
Your complete annihilation is the reason he came!
And a Pow! (POW!)
He's wiping everything out!
Turn your whole fucking world into a mushroom cloud!
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
It's your inevitable doom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!

[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
In the deserts of Nevada, where nothing else matter
It's the perfect place for you and your intestines to splatter
And while Bang! Pow! Boom! steady stomps you all out (Hehehehehe!)
You in the hail for the nuclear fallout
With the snakes and fakes, creepy sneaks, hoods and crooks, horny freaks
Shady ladies, Evil Ernies, Richy Ricks and Charley Cheaps
Bang! Pow! Boom! They say the show is the bomb
I heard it's straight up explosive, some even call it napalm
Nobody battles back, this ain't no kind of war
It's a one-way execution, blow you straight to hell through the floor
What the fuck you think you here for? Sound the alarm!
Ladies and gentlemen, eat shit and die! Let's bring him on!

[Chorus]
With a Bang! (BANG!)
Say goodbye to everything!
Your complete annihilation is the reason he came!
And a Pow! (POW!)
He's wiping everything out!
Turn your whole fucking world into a mushroom cloud!
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
It's your inevitable doom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
[Bridge: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
The air is thick with sick from demented brains and thoughts
But here they are, all together, every one of them caught
This is a celebration, in that the Carnival's cheering
It's not too often Bang! Pow! Boom! makes and appearance

And the winds in the sky will carry away all the ash
But for now let us enjoy the big back-splash!

[Chorus]
With a Bang! (BANG!)
Say goodbye to everything!
Your complete annihilation is the reason he came!
And a Pow! (POW!)
He's wiping everything out!
Turn your whole fucking world into a mushroom cloud!
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
It's your inevitable doom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
With a Bang! (BANG!)
Say goodbye to everything!
Your complete annihilation is the reason he came!
And a Pow! (POW!)
He's wiping everything out!
Turn your whole fucking world into a mushroom cloud!
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
It's your inevitable doom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
[Outro]
With a Bang! (BANG!)
And a Pow! (POW!)
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
With a Bang! (BANG!)
And a Pow! (POW!)
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
With a Bang! (BANG!)
And a Pow! (POW!)
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
With a Bang! (BANG!)
And a Pow! (POW!)
And a Boom! (BOOM!)
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
Bang!
Pow!
Boom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
Bang!
Pow!
Boom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!
Bang!
Pow!
Boom!
Nobody escapes, and everybody's consumed!

About

Genius Annotation

This is the titular final track of Bang! Pow! Boom!. The song wraps up the story that was introduced throughout the album by phone call skits in between songs. As there are four different versions of this album, three of them contain a hidden song on this track, after about a minute of silence. The blue edition has “Over a Bitch”, the red edition has “Our Hero”, and the green edition has “Chop Chop Slide”. The gold “nuclear edition” of the album has all three of these tracks on a separate disc, as well as three bonus tracks and an album sampler.

Genius Answer

In a post on ICP’s website, Violent J wrote:

This is that extra long ending track we’ve always done to wrap up the Joker’s Cards. But unlike the rest of them, this song aint the least bit slow. It’s got a mad fast bounce that moves your whole body uncontrollably. The album has skits all throughout it that lead up to this song. The skits feature rednecks, pedophiles, and wife beaters all getting phone calls that invite them to a Dark Carnival super show taking place in Ash, Nevada aka the middle of nowhere. So at the beginning of this song all these thousands of evil people gather to see this giant super show and take home the $100,000 they’ve all been promised. The show finally begins and out he comes! The infamous and explosive Dark Carnival creature himself Bang! Pow! Boom! He is a continuous explosion that stomps his way through the crowd blowing all of these evil souls right through the floor and straight to Hell. Imagine the power of a bomb, now imagine the strength and intensity of a constant explosion! That is Bang! Pow! Boom! This whole song is set to a 3 bar blues beat, unlike any song in our entire past. In my opinion this track has some of the dopest transform scratching ever done by Shaggy 2 Dope at the ending as well as some of Razor Ray’s greatest drill guitar playing ever! It’s the hypest, most energetic song I think we’ve ever fuckin’ done. To me it’s the Dark Carnival in it’s purest form, fast wicked and explosive. We’ve only done this song live one time at this point and I cant wait to do it again. If we’re tired by the end of the show, this song’s music and energy picks you right back up. It’s the title track, it’s the grand finale! He finally arrives shredding all the evil victims and blowing their frames into particles and pieces with every step and swipe of his ultra exploding form. Although the song is about 8 minutes long it goes by in what seems like only 2. The whole Bang! Pow! Boom! Album goes up into a mushroom cloud with the craziest and the hypest song we’ve ever made.

During a 2011 interview with The A.V. Club, he said:

“Bang! Pow! Boom!” is a mass wipeout. All right, here’s the thinking behind this: An explosion is a happening, “boom” that’s it. Like, a fraction of a second, the pipe bursting, “boom,” that’s it. Imagine a constant explosion like, “BoooooooooooooooOOOOOOoooooom.” [Laughs.] It’s an explosion, that’s the only way I can describe it. “Bang! Pow! Boom!” and the story is, we try to explain on the album, it’s all the people who couldn’t fit on the rides of the Dark Carnival. There’s so many people now, like religion and hope and belief are so lost.

Look at ICP. All we have to do is say that we believe in God, and everyone calls us Evangelists and Christians. All we’re doing is believing in God. What the fuck, you can’t even do that even anymore without everyone pointing a finger at you like you’re fucking crazy. It’s becoming harder and harder on this earth to even have faith without everyone one else jumping on your back about it. So therefore, the gates to hell are wider and wider, and the gates to Shangri-La are thinner and thinner. So the Dark Carnival, which provides all these rides that send people off to Hell, is so crowded, and lines are so long, that every once in a while, bang! Pow! Boom! comes down and wipes everything out.

There is no ride. Like, “Boom” comes through and wipes it all out. And the carnival is empty and everyone’s off to hell, and then we can start taking in newcomers. It’s overcrowded. There’s so many people they can’t even get on the rides of the Murder-Go-Round, The Funhouse, The Tunnel of Love, all the different rides that show you yourself, and how you got there. The Riddle Box and the Ringmaster and all those things are there. They show you exactly where you fucked up in life. They give you an explanation of where you went wrong before you’re whisked off to hell, but bang! Pow! Boom! is when there’s too many people to explain to everybody. It’s so big, it’s so wrong that the bang! Pow! Boom! is called upon to come wipe it all out, like “Foom!” Everybody out at once. And then start all over again.
