Bananarama perform this No.1 hit, Venus live on Top of the Pops, back in June 1986. The performance is repeated here on a TOTP2 special shown in December 2008.
This reminds me of having just left school, hot summer in Scotland working at tennis club before going to uni, going to pub every night and lots of lovely girls , great times
For me Siobhan just had that extra bit of class and talent I love the 80's. ...ruining a great classic. Ugh. Couldnt dance or sing but everyone loved them
fair point - although by this stage in their career they had sold out to Stock, Aitken and Waterman so I'm guessing musical integrity was out of consideration in favour of cold hard cash.
revol148, You do know that it's the public that decide who makes the money, right, it's not selling out if the public want more of it, selling out is what Alison Moyet did in the early 90's with her banshee folk crap, she shat on her fans from a great height, and then people stopped buying her hillbilly music, and she died a sudden death, musically anyway.
It's just a shame Keren and Sarah were so nasty to Siobhan all the way through their singing career. They would not talk to her and went out socialising all the time without asking her to come so she had a miserable time in the group so she had no choice but to leave. Those 2 were nasty girls.
I heard the same, but I also heard it was because she was the oldest of the 2 and both Keren and Sara were childhood friends so their relationship was a bit different

AJ Steele If you grew up in this Era with pop, you would understand. Most artists lip synced anyway and the records produced (at that time), were very advanced, catchy and the future.

Siobhan always seems to get all the attention-as if the other two are dogs dinners, Keren was a lot prettier, she hardly gets a look in. Siobhan always looked a bit dirty, always flirting with the camera while wearing less clothes, if you know what i mean.
@@JanBee1122, Mmmmm I Doubt in a world full of Billions of people, i would be the only one who thinks Keren was prettier. it's kind of ridiculous to suggest it.
@@halloweenville1 There is nothing wrong with Karen, I also think she is pretty, but you called Siobhan dirty. That was what was ridiculous when she is by far the most admired of the three women.
@@JanBee1122 Listen Jan Bee, stop being a sensitive snowflake to other peoples views, the word DIRTY does not mean she does not shower, it means she is saucy, it's not up to you to correct my personal view, it's my opinion, if i think she looks dirty at the camera, then THAT'S what i think, you might not like it, but you cannot change it, so why bother.
@@halloweenville1 I'm not trying to change it, it's pretty clear you don't like her. I just think your opinion has translated into words that are insulting, but have at it...you are very entitled to be negative and disrespectful in your "views". I knew what you meant by dirty btw....I'm not obtuse. Talking about her being dirty and flirting with the camera while wearing fewer clothes, you sound like the kinda guy we are gonna read about someday who taught a woman a "lesson".
I want to go back to the 80's and 90's and stay there!
Me too
I want to go back to the 70's and 80's and stay there!

Actually i prefer this version to the Shocking Blue original
seriously, when did anyone notice LYP SYNCING ????
The title says 'Live on TOTP's' If that's live then I'm a pixie that lives at the bottom of your garden !!
I love how cute they looked with no fake stuff like the girls have now. Way sexier than little mix of today.
women and those hips, my gooddness
Why do they say "...and Venus was HIS name"???

But... Bananarama doesn't rhyme with banana. Unless he was talking about something else and it got cut off in the clip.
Just think, those girls are now members of AARP!
Non-Americans are eligible?
What is "AARP" ?
American Retirement Persons club
CARP in Canada! lol
This isn't live though, they are miming?
rich975 What is your phone number???
I love the 80's.
...ruining a great classic. Ugh.

Легче Сигала убить на кухне чем перепеть Маришку
Wasn't Keren a couple months pregnant here?
Yes, she was, with her son. Looking very well on it too. Siobhan was next to get caught...
Melissa Wright Men can’t give birth
All the creeps in the comments ugh
Las Flans de mexico le copiaban jajaja
It's just a shame Keren and Sarah were so nasty to Siobhan all the way through their singing career.
They would not talk to her and went out socialising all the time without asking her to come so she had a miserable time in the group so she had no choice but to leave.
Those 2 were nasty girls.
I heard the same, but I also heard it was because she was the oldest of the 2 and both Keren and Sara were childhood friends so their relationship was a bit different
Lip syncing so hard LOL

this isn't live, it's lip synching.
The only female band to have so many changes would be Sugarbabes! But one band was hot the other was just "meh!"
...ruining a great classic. Ugh.
wtf is this, a shame for Shocking Blue music? =/
Little Mix and Fifth Harmony... eat your heart out!
...ruining a great classic. Ugh.
...ruining a great classic. Ugh.
No guitar riffs, no nothing. Pre programmed electronic crap . Immerse yourself in the original. Bananrama never performed quality music.
AJ Steele If you grew up in this Era with pop, you would understand. Most artists lip synced anyway and the records produced (at that time), were very advanced, catchy and the future.

MIKE T I understand it all too well. I was in my 20s in the 80s. My point was simply that Bananarama was garbage, and they destroyed a classic song.
AJ Steele Sure...point taken. Got them there biggest hit though? What about Preacher man....i though this deserved much higher?
AJ Steele This song does have guitar riffs tho. It's not a Pantera chugfest but it does feature some guitar work

Siobhan always looked a bit dirty, always flirting with the camera while wearing less clothes, if you know what i mean.
Pretty sure you are the only one to ever feel this way about Siobhan. She was by far the hottest and edgiest.
