#Bananarama
They are so good looking!
The singers are good too.
Sexy babes, with bush!
And it's refreshing that they are singing live without lip-synching nor auto-tune.
Yes, those were the days when people cared about fitness and when fatness wasn't seen as something to be "proud" of,
@@timward3116 Get a grip
the dancer on the left 👌
Love the choreography and love the backup dancers.
Now that you mentioned the guy dancers in the back, wasn't the middle guy, Bruno Tonioli, a judge on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
@@lindahandley5267Haha! I was just thinking that…🤣👍
@@lindahandley5267 Yes, it's definitely Bruno. He's also in Elton John's video to 'I'm Still Standing'.
very hot guy on the left side with HAIRY CHEST....... im dying
@@andiamo24 Every part of their bodies move in a different direction! 😁
The dancer on the left 😎
🔥🔥🔥
I wonder how is he doing now?
@@KW-sm2rtgood question. Probably looking as sexy as ever
Middle one for me 😍
Yes... absolutely yes. I was focused the entire time on him.
This was so Totally Awesome!!! The 80's Rocked...These Girls Were Just So Awesome...This Performance defined The 80's!!!
@@sharksport01 Fixed, Thanks Have A Nice Life DB!!!
They always had the hottest backup dancers!
Crowd’s dead
You got that right!!!!
I'll take the one on the far left. Thank You. No need to wrap it just send it
it's the right one for me 🤣
I’ll have all of them ❤
@@mickrozycki451 Lol no one in the comments seem to understand he's talking about the male dancers in the back
@@michaeljohndennis2231 They are all old today, or dead
@@debchancy2066
They was dead at this time look at them
The choreo will serve until the end of time
Well this just made my night… great song as well….
Good song! It's amazing to see how far the Bananarama girls have come since their early days, when they were background singers for Fun Boy Three. Bruno Tonioli (of Dancing With The Stars fame) appears to have choreographed this dance routine, as it bears his distinctive touch. That is also him in the back row there.
I had no idea that was him in the back ground ha hah ah
He was quite the spunk in the 80s.
They were never the 'background singers' for FB3. They made two records together.
Wow ! 👌🏾
which one is he?
Amazing voices from Bananarama including that typical sound from Stock-Aitken-Waterman 👏👏 Yes take me back to the 80's 👍👍
The video quality of this is outstanding.
First thing I thought.
@@MonarC27818 480p done right!
Countdown was a music programme in the Netherlands. This is their channel and can post digitalised versions of the original recordings.
I could they were lip-syncing
I blast this tune in the shower when I want to wake up and feel joy.
Long live the best decade in human history: 1980’s
What do the neighbors say?
@@kendallevans4079
🔊 “….WHAT?”
@@kendallevans4079
Well, I heard a rumour😊
Bet you are gay!
Nope buddy...the 70s were much better...by far....👍👍👍👍🇸🇻
Three Gorgeous singers, from my Era. I was 22 when bananarama belted out this terrific hit in (1987), very nostalgic sound to this song, I LOVE BANANARAMA!!💙💙💙👏👍👍🐐...
I was 6 in most of 87. Grew up listening to them. Their songs were household names here in PH 🇵🇭
@@alice_agogoI was 5 and dancing to their hits in our beauty parlor in QC. Good times. 😆
So was I!!
They ruled the airwaves in 87 I was 5 back then here in cebu I've heard this song mostly in PUJ'S
Still a banger of a track 👍
This is the most 80's thing I've ever seen 😂
This not the true 80s. This is 80s trash. There were much better things in the 80s.
@@Aysgarth1
Why trash ?
@@Limpopulaire Do you really have to ask? Just listen to it!
Yes it was wonderful and most who lived through those times know this
@@Aysgarth1 not true 80's? This thing that was literally made in the 80's? There's no such thing as true or false 80's unless it was made to look like the 80's in another decade. But yes it is trash 😂
Everyone's talking about Bruno in the middle but it's Baillie Walsh on the left for me my God is he smokin' in this. He's had an even more prolific career than Bruno. He was the director of Abba's Voyage show.
Bananarama is 1 of the BEST 👍 all time Girl group. Their songs become such a classic. I❤ it 😘
this is possibly the best VHS restoration i have seen on UA-cam!!!
I'm loving Tonioli's slightly dispassionate _macho-man_ dancing
I *thought* that looked like him!
The dancer on the left....omg. He's is unbelievably hot!!!!
Actually, the one on the right has the best physique!
Russell Crowe?
@@andrewcusack9046 Ha....not. But I have to find out his name and see how's he's aged!
They are all old men and women today or possibly dead.
@@silverstarflite135Baillie Walsh
All of them now pushing or over 60 years old. We were young once. Just a blink of an eye and you are old and then poof--gone!
I still would 😂
I'm sure the dancers are also going down in a poof of smoke.
@@ahmadazraiabhalim7174every dog has his day humanity will eventually be gone to
Damn... that first background dancer on the left that has a little bit of chest hair going on sure could do some Bananarama with me...
He is a director now.
I love that girls band, especially Keren !
the timeless 80,s are back 2023
Dancer in the middle is Bruno Tonioli who was a judge in Strictly Come Dancing and you will also see him in Elton Johns video for I'm Still Standing filmed in, I think, Cannes.
Would have loved to live this era, I'm from 96' but my heart belongs to the 80's music era
It really wasn’t that great. I was there. The 60s and 70s the music and fashion was way better.
The Music was great, the live gigs were great, alcohol prices were shockingly cheap compared to today, but the era itself sucked gigantic balls. That being said, it’s amazing looking back how for a society with so little (again - compared to now), we managed to make every moment count. While the digital age has pushed us all forward in many ways, I think many of us from that time would take those negative aspects over modern culture’s over-reliability on tech any day given the opportunity (for one: no bloody phones at live shows, just being in the moment and savouring it was a very different experience).
Now, due to everything being instantly available everywhere all at once, there’s no surprise anymore. While that’s great [and arguably vital for things like News and global events], the way Entertainment is consumed has definitely changed and largely suffered because of it. I think that’s why Artists like Beyoncé have tried to resurrect a little of that, understanding that anticipation and excitement are powerful tools and by harnessing the power of the unexpected they can make a much greater impact with their art and output.
Sure, it’s kinda great that the playing field has been levelled now and every and anyone can be a star (well, maybe some - and only in their own minds, sure) but the era of Superstars was truly something else and very difficult to convey to a generation who’ve never known any other way of consuming Music other than instantly, on demand.
Rightly or wrongly, people like Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna (all of whom were born in the same year which I always found kinda wild in and of itself…) were revered like Demi-Gods in the 80’s. Truly, they were Titans and then some. It’s kinda sad there are so few Artists now I can think of who even tap into that alluring mystique. I’m not even a big Beyoncé fan, but I respect the hell out of her for understanding all of that stuff and constantly trying to bring as much of that same magic to her own fan base. It really matters.
I'm from 80 Igrew up with this music but the 90s trump 80s
I love how the sexy guys were so in sync with the girls with all the moves. Awesome song & the guys 💪🏻 Oh Yea!
there were girls in this ?
@@TheJerbolt2Oh! I meant in sync with the Pointer Sisters. Sorry!
Bruno from Strictly is the middle dancer.
@@Muswell So it is! I heard him claim that Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" video from 1983 was his last dancing job.
Siobhan - always the coolest, best dancer, best dressed, hippest, funnest, prettiest.....and best name!
Enamorado😅😅.
Agreed.
I agree... just about her name ;)
Omg .. I still have a mad crush on Keren
🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱
Greetings from Ireland 🎉
Great memories, Great Ladies.. Still looking awesome.. Still Rocks
I'd forgotten about this track. It's such fun. Cant believe the audience just stood there like wooden planks and didn't dance. How boring. Love the moves with this song.
it's a literal copy of give me up / by babe or michael fortunati.
It’s because it’s in the studio and it’s actually not loud at all. Also Australian audiences were more into pub rock. This fluff coming out from the UK was not cool 😂
@@bsways this is from a Dutch show called Countdown, not the Australian version with Molly.
@@thingamajacky Ah K. Yeah thought was the Aussie one
Bruno Tonioli is the backing dancer in the middle
Is it? I thought that was him
Back then I got the album and listened to this song pretty much every day. Now, in 2024, I watch this video just as often - just can't get enough of Baillie Walsh. ❤️🔥👄
Absolutely. Was my favourite song of there’s so catchy & wonderful…great times the 80s now im in my late 50s ❤🍷🙋🏽♀️🇦🇺💃🏿
Cute backup dancers
I like the arm movement dancing.
I love this song and 80s forever Who agree with me? ❤❤❤
I fully agree!
I heard a rumour....that the 80's was the GREATEST time to be alive!! 🤩🤩
The 80s forever young
I had 17 years old, very best time, very best music.
Increíble calidad del video para el año en que se filmó ...love Bananarama
Great song from the year I turned 25.
So much fun…. Do you see Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the Stars? He’s also in Elton John’s video I’m Still Standing…. So much fun watching these old videos.
off to track that down!
Love them. FABULOUS.
Amazing song, lovely performance, and the dullest crowd ever...
they didn't look too enthused
The dance movements are so addictive.. not only that but the melodies.
Didn't realize the guy in the middle is Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the stars. He choreographed their videos.
Yo tengo esta actuación y el programa count down de music box del verano del 87 en VHS !!
Pásalo a MP4 y publícalo Porf 🎉
Great music in 80s and great memories.
SAME CHARM ON!!!
# 1 DANCER
DANCING WITH THE STARS
YOU'VE GOT IT!!!
Great to see such fantastic video quality and a fab performance by the girls. Sara was really enjoying herself, check 1:53 for a cute moment. Keren also lights up for the camera. But its interesting how Sib ignores the camera completely.
Keren was having the most fun to me. I like how she taps her background dancer as he walks past her. I don't think Sib was crazy about the pop direction they were heading in, and maybe that's reflected here.
I like Bananarama and this song has been my favourite. I have already seen this video millions of times and I feel I am less straight.
I totally understood how a male becomes a gay. This video is so powerful.
Pure pop fluff…loved it then and still do in 2023!!
I love this song and 80s forever who agrees with me?❤❤❤
Love this and yes the dancers are very cute😊
I born in ‘81. This song was part of my childhood during the late 80s. I’m so glad I got to experience most of it. I always thought the brunette was the best looking of the three. This song was in the movie Disorderlies starring The Fat Boys.
Same. From 80
I come bcuz of the thumbnail 🤤
My ears go to the song but my eyes go to the dancers!
Clock, bring back time! It was the era of synth-pop, time to party and dance, the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest!! ♥♥♥🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Never tire of this ❤❤❤
Old but gold
Old and still platinum gold 🥇
I wish I paid more attention during the eighties, it seems all kinds of awesome craziness was going on but I was oblivious 😂
Fabulous love em and their music
Great song, but really strange how the audience didn't respond or dance to it all?
Maybe the audience were transfixed by their beauty 😁
@@raywright8226 or the guys bulges
Because, they’re were doing playback
Maybe the audience like 99% of the public were sick to death of stock aitkin n Waterman who stole a living off one rhythm producing anyone n everyone from nobodies to has-beens 🫣....no one was safe every song they produced sounded the same ! ....enter the 12" single and soap star pop idol sampling etc etc and the death of vinyl 😢....awful
@@usauser3163 So you don't like them then? 😆😂
❤❤❤Keep dancing!!!❤❤❤❤
WoooooaaAa!!!!
Love this group.
I remember watching this for hours on VHS and the tape actually wore out. I knew all the dance moves. I bet if I watched it two or three times and I could do the whole thing I haven’t done it in 40 years. 😂😂😂😂
Love the 80 s !
Quintessential music of the 1980's. 🤗 I love this era. 🤩 Pop bands with the poppiest pop music ever, catchy dance tunes with memorable lyrics. ☺️ This girl band had it all, great singers, good songs and cute hot boy dancers. 😍 😚 What more could you want? 🤷♂️ 🥰
In 1987 on the dancefloor of The COPA Key West I never missed dancing to this, or any Bananarama tune, when it hit the DJ’s turntable. Best Club Ever.
You know all those background dancers retired to the same hotel room after this lmao
I get it, classic 😅!
Belle chanson . Elles sont bien accompagnés😍😍😍😍😘😘😘
Pop perfection✨
Love how this video raises the ridiculous to the sublime! #ilove80smusic
Love bananarama dance moves awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The oiled-up eye candy in the background is so successful in distracting from the ladies that I identified a mistake from the guy in the middle at 1:58. He forgot to do the spinning arm motion and skipped ahead. 😅
Yea and he’s Bruno from dwts.
I never heard this song in the 80s and im a 80s fan.
The dancers were amazing. Woow!
From the Album "Wow! (1987)
Nice quality
what a great trio of ladies
I didn't listen to much Bananarama in the 80s but Woodward was my teen crush.
Bananarama plus chip and dale dancers how juicy!! rumor 80s 👍
Great dance song- miss the clubbing days
The 80s were such fun
Great memories 😊
Guy on the far left - is just....stunning. Like wow! Probably in his 60s now :-( Missed my chance there. We know who the cutie in the middle is but I'd love to who the left is and what became of him
That’s Baillie Walsh - he became a hugely successful vudeo & commercial producer who recently created and directed the ABBA Avatar Reunion Show.
@@judistench2167 thank you for that.
@@WildRover1964 👍👍👍
yaaas great clip , well performed , also nice dancers hahaha i have to pause it
A born star
Fantastic girls
The middle dancer is Bruno Toniolli (soz can’t spell it) from strictly. Ha
One of the best songs of the 80's
Easily one of the best songs of the 80s. I’ve always loved this choreography from the song’s video. And yes that dancer on the left is incredibly hot!!! 🔥🔥🔥 sadly we can’t get a good view of the guy on the right.
it's unfair that he didn't get as much screen time...cuz he looks like a hottie!
The Stock, Aitkin & Waterman reign.
Indeed - That sound is unmistakable! 😀
I have all their albums and singles. Love the S.A.W. sound. Don't want guitar music in my collection, ha, ha, ha.
This song was musically stolen/plagiarised from "Give Me Up" by Michael Fortunati. Only the lyrics are original.
Хорошие продюсеры диско музыки!
You just can’t get sick if their tunes. Even after 40 years.
Adorei tudo... As cantoras e os dançarinos
What a great song. Perfect pop.
I love the dancers. too.
Oh those boys!
..happy times 1980s..❤ 🇨🇱
i missed 1987 😢
I've been thinking about it and I can say that this is my favorite women band of all times.
🤔🤔🤔
Oh hello young Bruno Tonioli (Fomer Strictly Come Dancing UK judge)dancing behind the lovely Sara☕️😂
