[infraball]

[cristianishere]

Only one word is needed for this: Genius.

[666deadman1988]

This kinda thing makes me think that being alive (that is being alive as a proper person rather than a baby) in the '80s would be really weird.

[73Calirobo]

Yeah that is Kevin Godley!! How cool is that? Man he still looks the same!! Lol

[jeffeastwood15]

When Jen says, "Pete wrote it." at 3:52 is she referring to Pete Waterman?

[contentina]

I can watch them goof like this for hours on end,, they are sooooo good!

[n0wave]

F&S are truly an incredible duo, talent like this doesn't come around often.

[ratsRfab]

This is so funny. I love French and Saunders, they are amazing, Kathy Burke is brilliant too. Love it. .x. :)

[pansatyrson]

Is that actually Kevin Godley of Godley & Creme?

[Ypipable]

Ear flops work

[gravelandgrain100]

"i'm a bit toppy, eh i'm a bit bottomy" -sounds like me every morning. Decisions decisions.

Love F&S bits-theyre great!!!

[salfordguy69]

[martiniisgood]

Those songs at the beginning are brilliant. It's quite remarkable, the stuff they've pulled out of their asses over the years just for these spoofs. It's usually just as good if not better than the things they're spoofing.

[jeremyud]

@martiniisgood "I Just Got To Let You Know...I Think That You're the Boy For Me" really sounds like it could've been a hit in 1989.

[MajesticAngelX]

@martiniisgood So true. F&S were the queens of parody, be it music or film. It was never generic spoofing; there was always a very observant, intelligent aspect

[DistantCousin]

Shame this is not the full sketch though :-(

[DistantCousin]

They recreated Stock Aitken Waterman style production very well! Poor Paula Yates :-(

[ailiepants]

oh my god! its cathy burke! amazin. not seen her do stuff for ages! wheres she gone?

[loveblonde83]

Thank you for posting this video. Their portrayal of Bananarama was spot on. French and Saunders are brilliant! The only things missing were the cigarettes and the vodka.

[gummygobbler1]

@loveblonde83 and their boots full of vomit

[glish73]

I finally found it! love this parody!!!!

[jeremyud]

Was this actually filmed in the 80's? This is so dead-on accurate about the 80's that the filming actually looks like its from the 80's, too.

[pomomatthew]

1990 I believe.

[DistantCousin]

1988 actually

[madsketcher]

I was just listening to Bananarama earlier this evening - this is hilarious.  They really know what they're spoofing, inside and out.

[iwishdiiamonds]

how funny ... the name of ther 'band' is: La La Nee Nee Noo Noo ... they really are brilliant.

[BUTTERFLYWARIOR]

french and saunders are so funny

[markthemongo]

omg dawn french looks so hot in this video lol i love her to bits lol

[22poopoo]

I want french and saunders to release a cd thaere better than the originals, and, did bananarama ever sing Jimmy mac?

[aliciaxb]

no they sang nathan jones which i think they are kinda spoofing

bananarama rock !! and so do french and saunders !!

[chitownboy489]

are those real songs at the beginning? cuz they are real good. French and Saunders are fuckin hilarious!!

[td2gether4ever]

Love the guys at the soundboard shaking their heads then saying That was great.:)

[Tahuita]

Cannot get enough of this one! They're all brilliant but here a special bow goes to wonderful Jennifer Saunders!

[Botero1982]
