Banarama were great! 3 gorgeous, natural English roses with that "girl next door" look about them and they had some great catchy tunes like this one! They sang on the Band Aid single so they'll go down in music history! Good for you girls!

Great tune, alot better than I Can't Help It, can't stand the production in that song. Very fake and Rick Astley sounding, early to mid 80's music was far better sounding music than late 80's in my opinion.
Haha! Siobhan's sister is the one who took him at the end. She is also Eileen in "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners. Wait let me do some research. I'm pretty sure though.
Listen for great music like this on a new radio station called "OffTheCharts" - featuring 70's (and some 80's) lost hits and chart wonders!
Go to Live365.com, type OFFTHECHARTS in the Search box and click on the station logo. The audio stream should begin. Become a VIP member and listen commercial free!
This song will be fearured on our first show beginning November 8.
These girls couldn't sing or dance to save themselves, but I loved them nevertheless and this is a dream of a record by Jolly and Swain and the girls. I went off them when they (apparently) got singing lessons and went over to Stock, Aitken and Waterman. It just wasn't the same anymore.
This lucky guy was even luckier at that time, because it was Terry Sharpe of The Adventures....and he was Sara Dallin's (the pretty blond one) boyfriend back then ;)
I was watching the morning news on the BBC one morning recently , and the two members of Bananarama were on (they said the other girl left the group about 20 yrs ago ) and they said they have just done a new CD , and the news presenter said the Bananas still hold the record for selling more disc's or having more number 1 s. Maybe the newscaster had it wrong ....but it might of felt like the Spice girls had more number 1s because they were always rammed down our throats by the TV
Bueno el dato, pero los artistas de los 80',no contaban con el marketin que hay ahora,,sus discos se vendian porque eran oidos y no que te terminaran de gustar por tanto marketin, que es lo que pasa hoy en dia.
That is possibly true. There wasn't the instant global recognition that there is today. People had to rely on good old fashioned billboard adverts and magazines.
It's a lot easier to get noticed today what with the good ol' internet.
Stay was a great track I agree, ( did you see French & Saunders parody of stay ........I still think it's a funny ! ) But didn't Shakespeares sister disband after a couple of records ?
Ahhh the 80s! I wanted to be in Bananarama when i was young.They were sooooo kool back then. Messy Hair moccasins,brilliant lovely pop tunes. I still want to be in Bananarama
i grew up in germany, and bananarama were the it in nightclubs, luckly drinking age was 16 in germany, i was a military brat in heidelberg, and love them more than madonna, so did the germans, memories from the late 80]s
hmmmm fucking hell this songs on alright!!!!!!!!!! i guess the CCP (Copyright Cunt Patrol) forgot about this but still managed to block out cruel summer, daft cunts, kiss my shitty hairy ass dickheads!!!!
I used to really fancy Siobhan Farley when I was a young kid....I'm always trying to get my girlfriend to get some dungarees and push her hair over her eyes lol.
lol same here. even though the 80's style isn't really in right now i been dressing like the 1983-85 madonna since 2007. i even had a girl copying me to for about 1 day :P
I love old videos - the makeup was horrendously white and the tall blonde (not Sarah or Siobhan) was soooo off beat they had to try and hide it. HILARIOUS!!!!
According to IMDB, the guy is Craig Ferguson. But... it doesn't really look like him, at all. He probably looked much different in the 80's, but still. Someone said earlier it was Terry Sharpe.
I'm too young to actually remember the 80's as the first year that I can really remember is 1990, but I love the 80's it seemed like a much better time than today, of course there were problems, but I'm sure not like it is now.....BTW for you guys that are bashing the 80's, why are you even looking at this video?
someone said that the night before this video was shot Sara got a pint of beer in her hair after getting into a fight with another girl down the pub, lol.
no internet. no cellphones. no cable TV until mid/late 80s. no gang warfare. America was back on top ofthe world recovered from the vietnam era and the opec/gas crisis of the 70s. The 80s was a care free utopia in USA as is evident by the prevailing music and clothing style of the times. Silly innocent foofoo nonsense. People had not a care in the world. I wish it could be the eighties again and forever.
What? Gang activity saw unprecedented growth during the 1980s with the introduction of crack. America was still agonizing over its Vietnam experience with Rambo, "Platoon" and thousands of other B Movies set in Vietnam. People had not a care? The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists advanced the hands of the atomic clock from 7 minutes to midnight to 5, and then 3 minutes with multiple superpower skirmishes from Afghanistan to Nicaragua.
The past we love best is the one that never happened.
I remember the '80s. I remember a whole lot of serious shit going down. I also remember a lot of really good and fun things happening as well. Every decade, every era has it's upside and negatives. This video represents a happier moment during the '80s. How anyone equates that with war, famine, politics, etc. is beyond me.
Rainman - you've clearly missed the first part of the conversation. Someone was mkaing the ridiculous claim that there were no wars, terrorism, or suffering in the 80s. Considering he was under the age of 10 during that period, it's not surprising he has a rose-tinted view of the decade. My comments are not related to this music video. They're a response to azarazar and his wild imagination.
Nah, its no good when older women try to look like the young girls of today. Like Madonna. Uh uh. Keren Woodward in the 80s is when she looked her best.
What the world need desperately right now is the 80s. Today's world is radically different from the 80s, terrorism, violence, crime, wars, these things were non-existent or not prevalent in the 80s, but good music like that was. Wow I miss the 80s...
azara - You've got a very short memory. The 1980s wasn't just a shallow, materialistic pop music trip. There was terrorism, violence, crime and wars in the 1980s. Have you forgotten the Cold War, the Communist Bloc, the IRA, the war in Afghanistan, and countless others? You must have been living in a bubble.
The things you mentioned were in background in the 80s and musical culture overshadowed everything else. Wars and terrorism still existed in the 80s but were very limited, not like these days when you feel like wars and terrorism is being shoved down your throat to swallow; these things overshadows musical culture now a days, not to mention music itself is crap compared to the 80s.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Perhaps if you're only 29 you were too young to remember the politics of the 80s. If you spent your childhood watching pop videos and cartoons on tv then obviously you weren't aware of what was going on in the world. To say that music culture overshadowed everything else is just ridiculous. Considering you live in a turbulent country like Pakistan, it is even stranger that you should make such a statement.
Everything was fine in the 80s. There was Disco, then there was POP, not like today's POP, THE POP. There was less population in the 80s, everything was slow, now it feels like time is flying pass all around us, we don't even get the time to enjoy the things that we like to do. Like I said, these problems didn't exist in the 80. In this particular decade, all we have is violence everywhere and "War On Terrorism".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
azar - I think you're clouded by childhood nostalgia. The 80s, in terms of popular culture, was all about shallow materialism and escapism from reality - projecting a material dream that the majority will never live. That was very different from popular culture in previous and subsequent decades, which had much more depth and connection with politics and social and ethical concerns. Take your head out of the sand and face reality - it's far more interesting.
That was the beauty of 80s pop culture, not everything had to be real or had to had connections with real world politics to be enjoyable. If reality of the world defines what should be enjoyable, then the most beautiful tune doesn't comes out of a violen or a guitar or a piano, but instad an AK-47.
You obviously are too young to remember what it was like to live in the Reagan-Thatcher era! Early '80s? Worst economic downturn since the depression; double digit unemployment in the US. 1987: biggest stockmarket crash since 1929. Secret wars by the CIA in Nicaragua, Guatamala and countless other Latin American countries. US support for brutal dictatorships in the name of the Anti-communism. Bombings of US airplanes (Lockerby Scotland, anyone??) Terrorism all over Europe by the Red Army Faction
Exactly. Of course, I would recommend they check out David Bowie's video of "Fashion," which not so subtly compares Thatcherite England with a Fascist state. Some artists manage to make even MTV politically relevant -- though not many of them!
@azarazar007 I remember people saying the same thing back in the 80's, how they could go back to the 50's and 60's. The song remains the same, dude. Just different eras.
Midge Ure directed this? I never knew that and im pretty good at knowing redundant facts lol. My favorite Bananarama track (I know its a cover before anyone says it). I love how like the Go Gos they were a pop band with punk credentials.
My Hubby had a huge crush on these Ladies, I have to agree with him when he says these were real ladies, nothing fake about them, wow times have changed with singers. Bananarama were freakin' legends
this cheap-n-cheerful video shoot simply adds to the sheer delight of this piece.......KEREN, especially, in her day, was a sprightly, pert, vivacious, charming, wholesome and attractive young lass.
@rokitunes I'm with you on that one. Not sure which team worked on the second album, but I like that one as well. I love their early 12'' singles especially.
If only girls could look like that these days, who knows may'be the big hair and net shirts and bright coloured shirts and 80's makeup style will come back, if the 70's did, then the 80's will
Eight years of Ronald Reagan and ten years of Margaret Thatcher. Hard not to be nostalgic. And should anyone ask, yes, Siobhan Fahey is God.

The great thing about the 80es was that girls finally could put on leisure clothes and act funny in their vids.
Nowadays we are back to deeply cut tight dresses & pumps and it's all about looking sexy.

O.K. I have the definitive answer according to the Guinness book of records.
The Spice girls are No.1 with 60 million albums sold.
Destiny's Child are second with 50 million.
TLC are third with 45 million.
And in 4th are Bananarama with 40 million, well clear of 5th who are SWV with 27 million.
As Bananarama are still active maybe there is time for them to catch up.

I remember the '80s. I remember a whole lot of serious shit going down. I also remember a lot of really good and fun things happening as well. Every decade, every era has it's upside and negatives. This video represents a happier moment during the '80s. How anyone equates that with war, famine, politics, etc. is beyond me.

Rainman - you've clearly missed the first part of the conversation. Someone was mkaing the ridiculous claim that there were no wars, terrorism, or suffering in the 80s. Considering he was under the age of 10 during that period, it's not surprising he has a rose-tinted view of the decade. My comments are not related to this music video. They're a response to azarazar and his wild imagination.

The Bananarama girls were all adorable--fun music too, of course-- but Keren Woodward (the redhead) was HOT!

What the world need desperately right now is the 80s. Today's world is radically different from the 80s, terrorism, violence, crime, wars, these things were non-existent or not prevalent in the 80s, but good music like that was. Wow I miss the 80s...

azara - You've got a very short memory. The 1980s wasn't just a shallow, materialistic pop music trip. There was terrorism, violence, crime and wars in the 1980s. Have you forgotten the Cold War, the Communist Bloc, the IRA, the war in Afghanistan, and countless others? You must have been living in a bubble.

The things you mentioned were in background in the 80s and musical culture overshadowed everything else. Wars and terrorism still existed in the 80s but were very limited, not like these days when you feel like wars and terrorism is being shoved down your throat to swallow; these things overshadows musical culture now a days, not to mention music itself is crap compared to the 80s.
Thank you very much.

Perhaps if you're only 29 you were too young to remember the politics of the 80s. If you spent your childhood watching pop videos and cartoons on tv then obviously you weren't aware of what was going on in the world. To say that music culture overshadowed everything else is just ridiculous. Considering you live in a turbulent country like Pakistan, it is even stranger that you should make such a statement.

Everything was fine in the 80s. There was Disco, then there was POP, not like today's POP, THE POP. There was less population in the 80s, everything was slow, now it feels like time is flying pass all around us, we don't even get the time to enjoy the things that we like to do. Like I said, these problems didn't exist in the 80. In this particular decade, all we have is violence everywhere and "War On Terrorism".

azar - I think you're clouded by childhood nostalgia. The 80s, in terms of popular culture, was all about shallow materialism and escapism from reality - projecting a material dream that the majority will never live. That was very different from popular culture in previous and subsequent decades, which had much more depth and connection with politics and social and ethical concerns. Take your head out of the sand and face reality - it's far more interesting.
oclandestin 3 years ago
That was the beauty of 80s pop culture, not everything had to be real or had to had connections with real world politics to be enjoyable. If reality of the world defines what should be enjoyable, then the most beautiful tune doesn't comes out of a violen or a guitar or a piano, but instad an AK-47.
Thank you for your comments.

You obviously are too young to remember what it was like to live in the Reagan-Thatcher era! Early '80s? Worst economic downturn since the depression; double digit unemployment in the US. 1987: biggest stockmarket crash since 1929. Secret wars by the CIA in Nicaragua, Guatamala and countless other Latin American countries. US support for brutal dictatorships in the name of the Anti-communism. Bombings of US airplanes (Lockerby Scotland, anyone??) Terrorism all over Europe by the Red Army Faction

asy4 - Too right. Some people only see the world through MTV.
oclandestin 3 years ago
Exactly. Of course, I would recommend they check out David Bowie's video of "Fashion," which not so subtly compares Thatcherite England with a Fascist state. Some artists manage to make even MTV politically relevant -- though not many of them!

@azarazar007 I remember people saying the same thing back in the 80's, how they could go back to the 50's and 60's. The song remains the same, dude. Just different eras.

Midge Ure directed this? I never knew that and im pretty good at knowing redundant facts lol. My favorite Bananarama track (I know its a cover before anyone says it). I love how like the Go Gos they were a pop band with punk credentials.

This wasn't a cover. It was written by Jolly & Swain for Bananarama

If only girls could look like that these days, who knows may'be the big hair and net shirts and bright coloured shirts and 80's makeup style will come back, if the 70's did, then the 80's will
