 Shang-a-Lang (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.Songwriter Bill Martin described "Shang-a-Lang" as an attempt to combine Brill Building songwriting - in particular the partly onomatopoeic lines of "Da Doo Ron Ron" - with the clanging sounds he'd long heard emanating from the shipyards in the Glasgow burgh of Govan where he'd been born and raised.
