"Bingo Bango" is a song written and recorded by English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx for their debut album, Remedy (1999).

[2][3] It contains elements of samba,[4] calypso,[5] house,[2] and techno,[2] and was said by Barry Walters of Rolling Stone to also "layer ska on top of salsa.

"[7][8] Bush additionally wrote that, similar to "Rendez-Vu", "Bingo Bango" was another Remedy (1999) track that shared "the Nuyoricans' penchant for Latin vibes.

[9] In 2011, Felix Buxton collaborated with musician Jules Buckley to re-arrange fifteen of Basement Jaxx's tracks for a live orchestral show.

[10] Matt Hendrickson from Rolling Stone called "Bingo Bango" an "a calypso romp," while Alice Fisher of The Observer described it as "riotous".

"[2] On the other hand, British music magazine NME was extremely negative, stating: "Bingo Bango", is no less irritating [than the other Remedy tracks], though less brutish in its execution and more like the bothersome exhortations of an over-exuberant toddler; the vocal sample is ‘nagging’ like a grandmother disapproving of a new haircut and ‘catchy’ in that same ghastly way that any advert with Michael Winner in is memorable – just because it sticks in the head doesn't make it good.

[13]The orchestral rendition received a favorable review from The Independent's Andy Gill, who labelled it a "delicate, sugarplum-fairy re-imagining."

He further wrote: "[The re-arrangement] becomes as unashamedly widescreen as a Spielberg film score by John Williams, speeding up as it goes along like a Greek or Cossack dance – just one benefit of its being freed from sequencer rhythms.

[24] Campbell said: "In the context of brass band music, ["Bingo Bango" is not a track] that would immediately come to mind as complementing that style.

[29] Theatrically, French drama The Dancer (2000),[30] American teen comedy Get Over It (2001)[31] and the action thriller Extreme Ops (2002)[32] all featured the track.

[35][36][37] For their set at Creamfields festival in 2000, they brought on stage a "dazzling troupe of feathered Mardi Gras dancers" during the song.

[37] In 2011, Jules Buckley and Metropole Orkest, which consists of a 60-piece orchestra and a 20-voice choir, performed the Buxton-written orchestral version in three shows in the Netherlands and United Kingdom.
