Shots (Imagine Dragons song) Shots (Imagine Dragons song) "Shots" is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons. It was written by band members Ben McKee, Daniel Platzman, Dan Reynolds and Wayne Sermon and released as the third single from their second studio album "Smoke + Mirrors" (2015). The song shows influence of industrial music with heavy use of synthesizers. Reynolds' vocals are light, despite the dark lyrical content, recalling music from the 1980s. Sermon's guitar textures add complexity. Imagine Dragons performed the track during a first ever live commercial (for Target) during the Grammy Awards (2015). The advertising was filmed on Las Vegas'
Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds (aka Arnold Rosenthal) on bass, Richard Torres on keyboards/sax, and drummer Gene Pello. They hit the road in January 1966 to promote their first single "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)", an instrumental piece based upon a then-popular Alka-Seltzer TV commercial. Dee and Torres quickly decided to leave the band, and were replaced by Tommy Reynolds (who would, in 1969, be the lead singer for Shango) and Joe Frank Carollo. "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" reached #3 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 in March 1966. This revised version of The T-Bones toured the US and Japan.
