I was doing some routine research on old stuff from the 80s, namely folk rock, and the Waterboys came up, and I got into digging their song "And a Bang on the Ear", which, beside the title line which ends each verse, does look like a love song. And it appears that the expression puzzled so many people that they posted on their FAQ that in this context, "bang" actually means a kiss.
Is that true? if so, where do they speak that way?

That's where the term bang for sex comes from. Bang used to mean a kiss, in pre-60's slang. When the sexual revolution happened, it mutated to mean sex.

since they wrote the song, it means what they say it means. maybe that's slang in London.
