"Shot You Down" is a song by English electronic music project Audio Bullys featuring vocal samples from American singer Nancy Sinatra from her cover of the 1966 song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". It became a 3 hit in the United Kingdom in mid-2005 and reached the top 20 in Australia and the Netherlands the same year. Sinatra is credited as being featured on the song (Audio Bullys feat. Nancy Sinatra) since her vocal samples are an integral part of the song. The song is included on the album Generation, released on 31 October 2005.[1]
