I've got two copies of this single, one of them called 'IT ain't what you do (It's the way that you do it)', and the other one called ' T'AINT what you do (It's the way that you do it)'
@chichy70 I'm not sure about what you're saying... that song is on the first album of the Nana's, maybe it's on FB3's as well....But i think it's more a Nana's song.
I love this song I was just a little kid when it came out but I remember my Mum would be doing the laundry singing it and saying "you put it in the washer then you put it in the dryer and that's what gets results!"
I absolutely LOVE this song and video! After having been a fan of both FB3 & Bananarama, this is the first time I've ever seen this video. Cool seeing the girls in the early stages of their group, before becoming polished and aligning themselves with Stock/Aitken/Waterman in the mid-80's. Love their outfits and Siobhan's hair!
Terry Hall really reminds me of Robert Smith, especially the Japanese Whispers era! I wonder if The Cure were in some way influenced after abandoning the dark Goth stuff around this time...
Great track it might seem a bit limp Fun Boy Three And Bannanarama a great track from the 80's and also a first appearance from Bannanarama ............... I think
sheer brilliance reminds me of primary school i was 11 years old just awesome fab memories of rockwell primary in dundee xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
From '82 when Britain was not faring too well economically; bedits & tube stations reminds me of when I last lived in London from '94. An acurate point stereoloov. The added bonus of outdoor, nightime bongos playing! Always fancied Keren!
It's not Bananarama feat. FB3,it's the opposite.Bananarama were invited by Terry Hall to sing when they hadn't even recorded their first album.'It ain't what you do,it's the way that you do it' and 'Really saying something' appeared on the first albums by both groups,with the difference that FB3's album was released earlier.
If my memory serves me correctly (i've still got the original 45 somewhere) it was fun boy three and bananarama, on this.But on the next single really saying something it was bananarama and the funboy three.
It's kind of old, you know? Not all videos were put together with $1,000,000 budgets. Simple but cute. The two bands mesh very well and just the presence and vocals of Terry Hall make it all the better. It's a fun song, dude! Guess ya had to be there when it was new.
love this song, great beat and rhythm, and especially bananarama's vocals which have a haunting sound to them. the early years of bananarama were my favorite. terry hall's hair reminds me of robert smith's :)

And if there's going to be a race row every year on BB or Celeb BB, why don't they just scrap the stupid programme? It's got worse & worse every year, losing viewers by the second & if they have to scrape the barrell finding contestants of that standard then what's the point? Most people can only ever remember the first 3 series' winners & then it all becomes a cloudy mess. And back to Bananarama, who I adore, I really do think a "proper" comeback with Siobhan would be very successful.
I wouldn't say the Irish were immigrants. Even Southern Ireland who are a separate country have always been "considered" part of the UK, both in the music and film industries. All the record books state bands such as Boyzone, Westlife (urgh/yuk) as UK groups. And Siobhan was born in England so that makes her a third English. No problem with the Irish anyway. There's a very close link whether it's been good or bad over the years.
Im begining to think I may be the victim of a wind-up! Surely EVERYONE knows the Irish Republics long and arduous battle for independence from Britain, Im sure any Irish person would be rightly insulted to have this wiped away for convenience sake. For the record Ms Fahey was born in Dublin and even had she been born in England it wouldnt make her English. It would have made her nationality British and ethnic origin Irish. You are truly lacking in knowledge, politically and educationally.
Its nothing to do with 'living in the past'. The past shapes the future, its the foundation, thats why history is taught in school - and if no-one (and you included)was interested in it, none of us would be watching 20 year old videos. Of course people are interested in it you moron.

I was born in Dec 1977 so I do!!! I might have only been a child but it was a much better place than it is now...that's why sensible Britons have left and more than 50% of the population are now from another country. Scandalous.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol...i wouldn't say i'm a xenophobe OR a racist. i believe immigrants help the economy but in moderation. a joke's a joke. the country is beyond repair. in another 100 years time there'll be no more typical English traditions and it's such a shame. heritage should be protected not polluted.
Im not getting into it with you. I lived through Thatchers Britain as an adult and remember the mines being closed, the government sanctioned brutality, SUS laws and SPG, the Faulklands war, the poverty and it was crap. And I would challenge your figure of 50% immigrants - where did that figure come from?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It was reported in many broadsheet newspapers a couple of weeks ago and also on I think it was Sky News the day after. It said that for the 1st time, immigrants outnumber the 100% British (by this they were referring citizens born to 2 British parents and by British were referring to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and any islands linked to those former countries residents) living in the UK. I think it was 50.4 something to 49.6 percent.
What utter rubbish! By 'broadsheet' do you mean the BNPs newsletter?Define 'British'.Is this people who hold a British passport?Or people who were born in the UK? Could it be the children of British passport holding Ugandan Asian , who came to in the 70's, hold a British passport, but are of Asian origin? How about the children of British passport holding Jamaicans who came to Britain in the 50s/60s? Or do you mean white? In any case, the clearly documented immigrant population is less than 4%..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL not BNP, altho they do have some very good policies, yet some ludicrous & terrible. Yes, all of the above you have mentioned are included as the immigrants. Like I said, by British they were referring to British born & both parents British born regardless of what passport they hold. England's "political correctness" has gone way beyond a joke. A harmless comment from a soap legend on Big Brother and she's forced to apologise. Makes u wonder where these "viewer complaints" came from.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't believe in British or the United Kingdom. At 30 years old, I suppose it's unusual but I'm still very English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish orientated. I'm sure if you ask a person from either of the "UK's" other 3 countries they would be adamant to protect their heritage and say they're Scottish, Welsh or Irish not British, everyone I speak to is anyway. So British, I suppose defines anyone that holds that ridiculous purple, plastic passport regardless of where they were born.
PS You presume to suggest Ms Richards was insincere with her apology having been 'forced' to make it. Shame on you. I think, as the intellegent and thoughtful woman she is, she realised her comments were crass and ill advised so apologised with good grace and candour.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't believe she had a reason to apologise. She didn't mean anything by it and it was far from offensive. Without doubt, the viewers calling Channel 4 to complain were either mixed race jumping to Kat's offence or uneducated children who are constantly having it drummed into their heads to be P.C. in these "multi-faith" schools. Why they keep allowing immigrants with temporary visas entering the "UK's" reality shows is beyond me. Like the Nigerian who nearly got deported a few years ago.
I think thats proberly the crux of it. As you so obviously hold right wing political views YOU dont think she had any reason to apologise and therefore assume her apololgy was insincere.
That's the thing, I am from a very working class background & was brought up in council accommodation but looking back, we were all fooled into thinking Thatcher robbed from the poor & gave to the rich which is rubbish now I'm old enough to understand. She gave normal people the right to buy their council house and encouraged us to better ourselves. Without her at the time, I'm sure me & my family would still be renting council houses & not owning our own businesses & homes.
How lovely for you and your family to own your own homes and businesses as a result of Thatchers Britain. What a shame for those of us left struggling with little or none of the affordable social housing you and yours were fortunate to enjoy, all because Barnoness Thatcher saw fit to flog the family silver to the highest bidder leaving the economy in such a mess we are still reeling from it now.
damn wrong!!!!!! they where ska when terry was at the specials! funboy three s'got nothing to do with ska! this is much closer to the new romantic thing than to ska!
Stick it to him miceinfreefall. How can ska be anything to do with New Romantic??? I often think we have too many musical classification - trance, euphoric, ambient, eurodance, etc, and whilst many would struggle to define these, ska & new romantic are so totally different there really is no excuse for confusing them.
Oh WOW! I remember seeing this video the first time and just loving that sound. A bare-bones sound with hypnotic percussion. The girls' looks changed dramatically in later years. From cute to glamorous! Thanks for posting this.
read this! read this! read this! You will get kissed by the love of your life in 3 days if you copy and paste this on 4 more videos in 20 minutes!!! This is TRUE
I love that song! Did you know that Terry Hall worked with the Go Go's too. They toured as an opening band for the Specials and Terry wrote "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Jane Wiedlin.
I think that it would be more correct to say that the Emo look was in existence, but it was called New Wave!
Sioban is the one with the really short, spiky hair.
I have this live from the adult version of Tiswas, OTT from early 1982, but only on VHS sadly. No way of uploading here at the moment. BTW it is FB3 feat Bananas, the next single, 'really saying something' was Bananas feat FB3 though.
Brings back some spectacular memories! What a cool song and presentation. Love that Terry Hall guy.. he has such a emo look far before it was in existence. Hey, which of the B girls is siobhan?
HEYYYY.... MACARENA!

Fun boy 3 were ok but the colourfeild was a pitfull for Mr. Hall

I disagree. The Colourfield had some good songs. Terry Hall is just a moody bastard.

I absolutely agree.Terry Hall and the other menbers of FB3 came from The Specials,and at that time they were much more famous than Bananarama.

Hey they experimented so what good stuff still came out of them! It's better than the trenmdy stuff that was being played back then!!!!

No, it's really not at all New Romantic. Not even slightly.

Stick it to him miceinfreefall. How can ska be anything to do with New Romantic??? I often think we have too many musical classification - trance, euphoric, ambient, eurodance, etc, and whilst many would struggle to define these, ska & new romantic are so totally different there really is no excuse for confusing them.

FYI - this is actually a cover of an old JAZZ standard!
Yup, I've got a copy of Ella Fitgerald singing it with Duke Ellington's band in the '50s.

Oh WOW! I remember seeing this video the first time and just loving that sound. A bare-bones sound with hypnotic percussion. The girls' looks changed dramatically in later years. From cute to glamorous! Thanks for posting this.

I love that song! Did you know that Terry Hall worked with the Go Go's too. They toured as an opening band for the Specials and Terry wrote "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Jane Wiedlin.
I think that it would be more correct to say that the Emo look was in existence, but it was called New Wave!
Sioban is the one with the really short, spiky hair.

I have this live from the adult version of Tiswas, OTT from early 1982, but only on VHS sadly. No way of uploading here at the moment. BTW it is FB3 feat Bananas, the next single, 'really saying something' was Bananas feat FB3 though.
