"Bang Bang You're Dead" is a song by the band Dirty Pretty Things. It was released as a single on April 24, 2006 and was the first to be released from the band's debut album Waterloo to Anywhere. In 2006, it was used as the theme tune to the BBC series Sorted. The music video directed by Giorgio Testi was shot in Mexico in early 2006.

Early rumours about the song claimed it was about Pete Doherty, citing the lyrics; 'I gave you the midas touch, you turned round and scratched out my heart' as evidence. Carl Barat later denied this in NME magazine.
