"Bing Bang (Time to Dance Single Mix)" is the single version of the LazyTown song "Bing Bang".
The original version is sung at the end of every episode of the children's television series by Stephanie and is danced to by Stephanie, Sportacus and the puppets of LazyTown.
The single was released in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2006 as a digital download, and in CD format a week later. On December 10 it reached Number 4 on the British singles chart. It was rated as one of the leading contenders to be the 2006 Christmas number one single in the UK.
The song was written by Máni Svavarsson, the composer and one of the scriptwriters for LazyTown. It was originally created for Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ ("Robbie Rotten in LazyTown"), a 1999-2000 theatrical production in Iceland that later evolved into the popular children's television show. According to Svavarsson, "We wanted Stephanie to sing something catchy—that kids in all ages could repeat after hearing it once. The conclusion was 'Bing Bang'. We also wanted the lyrics to represent her character: smiley, dancey, fun-loving."[1]
"I Love Christmas" has an extended instrumental introduction on this CD.
