Kajagogo's bass line in "Too Shy" is legendary.
One of my very favorites ever. Kajagoogoo!! ❤
It's up there with Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.... Great bass lines..
Yesssss Limahi!!!!
Kajagogoo, legendary, WHAT😂😂😂😂
FACTS!!!
Their remake of "Venus" was one of the biggest hits of the 80s.
Cruel Summer is my fave Bananarama song but this is a great tune too!
by far!
That song was well used in The Karate Kid.
The perfect summer tune still is when I hear it now ..
When Taylor Swift, first released cruel Summer and I kept seeing cruel Summer, trending on Twitter, I kept thinking it was Bananarama, until I finally understood😂
J & Amber, you'll love their "Venus", "Shy Boy", "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" and
"It Ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)" (with Fun Boy Three) !!!
edit- adding Bananarama w/Fun Boy Three- “Really Saying Something” !!!
The 80's were the best time to be alive.
The girls are fun and their voices are light but not so strong...but Siobhan from the band formed a duo called Shakespeare's Sister and you hear the amazing voice she has. Check them out. Either You're History or Stay with Me. Soooo good!
Edit: FYI the dark haired one Karin (?)was married to the Andrew Ridgely from wham and Siobhan, the one with short blond hair, married to Dave Stewart from Eurythmics
Yes! Stay With Me was a great song.
Dirty Mind was awesome too!
Don't forget Bananarama's early song appearance with Fun Boy Three called "Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It). Once they joined the Stock Aiken And Waterman production/writing team they exploded!
You really should try Stay, by Shakespeares Sister. An awesome group, you’ll love it
Love Shakespear's Sister! Got to see Marcella Detroit perform at a backyard concert back in the late 90s.
I think the thing you have to remember about the music videos back then, is that because of MTV, every artist just had to put out a video to advertise their new songs. This often meant that there were a lot of low quality video's that were put out just so there was a way to play the song on MTV. Most of the videos of the 80s and 90s were either expensive extravagant well made videos or cheaply made poor quality videos. This was one of those videos that obviously didn't have much of a budget.
So true! And people were just making it up as they went along because videos were a new thing and no one really knew what to do in the 80's and 90's, so they just tried anything and everything! Lol. Good times. It's all so polished now, I feel like it takes some of the fun out of it. I liked never knowing what we'd get next. :)
I think this video style is formulaic for pop bands like Bananarama. Watch their other videos and find out.
Additionally, everyone as an up and coming filmmaker did videos to make a name for themselves....it was whether or not they succeeded, decided if they moved up in the world. So in a lot of cases,the director and the artist had totally different visions of what the video should be. Some had ginourmous budgets,but that didn't always equate to a legendary video. Bonnie Tyler for example...hated the video for Total eclipse of the heart,and even broke from her label over it. The video for Rock me tonite by Billy Squire was the epitome of video killed the radio star. The song itself was a big hit. But the video killed his career
@JohnLA Not only is history written by the winners...but things like the public vernacular catches up with things. It either pushes an inaccurate narrative, or makes things outright derogatory. People look back on the glam scene for example...and with today's eyes see women being objectified. That wasn't the case at all. The women drove the whole scene, exactly the way they wanted it to be. The up and coming bands, didn't have jobs,places to stay,or any money. The girls all did. That put them in the driver's seat. And as far as people canceling words nowadays.... don't realize that the words they're canceling often were the time's nice way of putting things... until the vernacular caught up and made it derogatory. Whatever acceptable replacement people come up with now to words and phrases will inevitably become derogatory. So it is a never ending, unwinnable battle. Special education is an example of the time's nice way to say someone has a mental disability or affliction. In the days and years following,the public started saying "sped" as a slight. A hundred years ago, doctors put the term "mongoloid idiot" on the birth certificates of afflicted people. So r-tard was the time period's actual nice way of saying it...as to r-tard a internal combustion engine's timing meant it ran fine,it just runs slow. Now, it's the R word. So we can't tailor everything based on how we feel,no matter how much we may want... because the vernacular will just catch up,or history will change it's perspective.
True. I remember hearing an interview with Ann Wilson about how expensive Heart's videos were to make, and they had some pretty elaborate sets. Easily a couple of million dolalrs, but these Bananarama videos were probably $250k or so.
One of the best British girl pop groups to come out of the 80's. These girls were huge in Europe and did pretty well in America, but they are awesome! When you watch the BAND AID video for the song"Do They Know It's Christmas", you will see these three women in it.
One of the ONLY British pop girl groups from the 80's. Seriously, can you name another one? Just say one of the best female pop groups because there were many of them at the time.
bananarama > spice girls
@@SurvivorBri Didn't say only. Read the comment. I said "best". Pay attention. Better yet, keep your comments to yourself and post your own. This isn't the place to be a dick!
Bananarama was one of the few British all girl bands in the eighties to make it big on the US charts! They has a string of catchy pop hits, just a fun time! ❤❤
It's just a brilliant song. The arrangement in both the vocals and the instruments takes you on a magical loop of heavenly pop..
Someone else mentioned it and I have to mention it again- British group Swing Out Sister “Breakout” is a great upbeat feel good song! Hit here in the 80’s! Amber would love the instruments!! 😉😉
I was going to say this
I enjoyed Bananarama’s music in the 80’s and I still enjoy it today.
"do you look back and cringe, just a little bit" Oh yeah, but I don't regret for one minute throwing myself fully into it. 80's was my music decade, and still is.
💯
I have a couple of recommendations for offshoots/collaborations of Bananarama that I think you'd enjoy: they did a song with another British band, Fun Boy Three, called "It Ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It") which is just pure all-out good times. I find myself bouncing in my chair whenever I listen to it. And one of the Bananrama girls, Siobhan, went on to form Shakespears Sister in the 90s. The song "Stay" is one you have GOT to do. Be sure you react to the video version for added effect!
Yes!! With Marcella Detroit! Great song!
Hi Kimmy! Which girl was the devil in Venus? I had such a crush on her, but I never could figure out for sure which one she was, because they changed appearances so much in that video. Thanks!
@@allenwhitmer8192 I believe that was also Siobhan!
@@hellokimmy68 ok! That's great, because after a lot of meticulous study, that's who I always thought she was. Thank you, again!
Absolutely love these girls! Their cover of “Venus” is awesome!
I agree with you guys. This masterpiece of a pop song is extremely catchy! Maybe it was the tempo, melody, horns, chimes, or just the plain old tone of their voices, but whatever the case, it had me bopping right along with everyone else back in the day!
My friends and I knew this dance routine down by heart and everytime it came on MTV, we performed along with it. Bananarama just brings back so many fond memories for me. I am so glad I was a teen of the 80's. ❤
Aww the days of dance routines!! I was around 10/11 and my friends and I spent our breaks at school practicing dance routines ❤
Fun fact one of the oiled leather clad backing dancers is Bruno Tonioli one of the judges on Dancing With the Stars.
Oh man I love this era so much. All my fave songs are from this time! Bananarama we’re so much fun! And I do not feel any cringe as those times were just fun and not about WAP!!!
Keep going on the Stock Aitken and Waterman production train as I would love to see your reaction to another girl group, sisters Mel & Kim (Showing Out, Respectable, FLM, That’s the way it is) - they were great too!!
Oh, and please more live performances from Tina Turner from her Wembley 2000 concert (Nutbush, Proud Mary, Better be good to me, Addicted to love, Twenty four seven, and more!)
This song have the classic SAW intro. A lot of Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue’s early songs stated out very similar.
Bananarama songs are just so catchy that even if this isn't your favourite type of music it just makes you feel a bit more happy, smiley, and generally uplifted. I think what helps about these girls is that they always seemed to be having so much fun in their videos and not taking themselves very seriously. I can't remember what songs of theirs you've already done but Love in The First Degree is worth checking out, maybe Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye), Robert deNiro's Waiting, or Nathan Jones as well (I think you've done Venus and Cruel Summer). Maybe also their Collab with Fun Boy Three with It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It is worth a look.
Amber & J here you go there's a all-girl band from late 80's & 90's from a genre labelled Freestyle (Latin Driven Bass Music) the all-girl band is Exposé many many jamming dance hits and ballads.
Songs are- "Point of No Return", "Come Go with Me", "Seasons Change", "Let Me Be the One" very good stuff, vocals by lead singer, wow her range.
Loved them
You should do: Shakespeares Sister: Stay. A massive hit in the 90's with a great video featuring one of Bananarama: Siobhan Fahey.
Try to dance along to this with the choreography. Those waving arms are great fun!
I have always loved this song and the group ❤️
Yeah, that song really grows on you and their dance routines are wonderful.
Bananarama was ultimate Pop 80s dance .... I would spin Bananarama at every wedding party and school dance.
My favorite of theirs. Watch the video of the ladies from a concert in 2017. They look better and sound better than when they first came out! Timeless beauty from all three! They are just
gorgeous and they were in their 60s in 2017!
It's just a totally fun 80's song! Great beat gotta love it😅❤
Bananarama had a really good song in the 90s too. Every Shade of Blue.
Their best pop song ever! One of the best of the 80’s dance songs . Amazing video ! Oh boy we miss the 3 of them !
Pop pop. Bang bang. You two got me giggling with that! X)
Allison on The Umbrella Academy activates her powers by saying "I heard a rumor" and I always think of this song. That show is known for its random dance sequences, and I really hope one of these days they do a dance montage to this song. :D
This is why we love you, Amber! You get it!! *one of us, one of us* :D So glad Jay gave into the joy and got into this song as well! =)
I love the arm twist and swing. My college friends and I can’t sing this song without doing that move.
Summer of ‘86 baby!❤️😎
Pop Icons..... many cool memories
.....with the ultimate stock-aitken-waterman sound
I love Jay saying" it's growing on me ". I can imagine Jay being girl dad rocking out dancing with his girls 🤭🤗
Go 80's! I bet you guys would like another 80s group that should of got more props than they did. "Swing out Sister" Break Out. I remember driving to work listening to them on my car stereo. Maybe you can give them some "Rob Squad" air time. Keep on keepin on, love your Channel......Richard
Loooove Breakout! It’s so fun and Amber would love the certain instruments! 😉
When I was at Florida State in the 80's and we went out - we KNEW the whole dance when the DJ would play. Thanks for covering!
Love this fun song. It is in the movie soundtrack for DISORDERLIES starring the rappers the Fat Boys.
Checknout their cover of VENUS.
They participated in Band Aids Do They Know its Christmas.
Siobhan Fahey went solo and then made a duo Shakespeare's Sister check out in their song STAY.
Best Bananarama song of the 80s and now fast forward to their newest 2024 hit “Supernova”. A club banger for today’s dance floors.
As a lifelong rock n roller, this was a (very) guilty pleasure back in the day...but give in to it and let it take you away. I'm with ya Jay!
JAY AND AMBER YOU ALWAYS SAY AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS MAKE SOME ONE SMILE AND I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERY DAY THANK YOU
Bananarama were always about having fun, and it can clearly be seen in their videos.
They are the most successful British girl group ever.
Fun choice guys. Paul😀📀👍❤️
The blond on the right is Siobhan Fahey. She left the group and started Shakespeare Sister. Songs to check by them. Stay, You're History, Break My Heart and Heroine.
I like them a lot but I seem to remember the Spice Girls as being huge as well.
Back to Bananarama!!! Thank you!!! They had such a vibe in the 80's! 🎶🖤☺
The jump & clap choreo is iconic. The fun costumes and background images were an homage to old Busby Berkeley numbers from old Hollywood musicals.
This is pure sugar bubblegum pop that you listen to in the summer, hang out on the beach, or cruise around. It's just a fun ditty, but with definite "blow a raspberry at the guy who broke your heart" lyrics. In the video, during the vignettes if you look at the screens behind them, you'll see they're (sort of) matching the famous scenes that are playing. The 80's, man; they were a heck of a thing. lol Videos were such a fresh medium, and directors had "visions". It was a weird and wild experimental smorgasbord. "Billy Don't Lose My Number" by Phil Collins pokes fun at the whole craziness of it all, and lampoons movies and 80's videos (though to hear the guitar solo complete, you'd have to listen the song and not the video).
This is a PWL (Peter Waterman Ltd) production. They produce a lot of songs for Bananarama. Other work has been for Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Samantha Fox, Mel & Kim, Dead or Alive, and more
This was one of my absolute favorite songs when I was 10 in 1987 and I still absolutely love it!
From the beginning Amber was blissful in her pop joy, but at the beginning Jay was too cool for such blatant glitz, then...then the expression on his face became so pure. It made my old heart happy.
I'm glad y'all kept an open mind on this. It's very, very 80's pop
It was very much a 70s disco throwback at the time, especially with that “woo!”
Hey RSR if you like Bananarama, you should check out Shakespeare’s Sister. One of the original members left the group and went on to form Shakespeare sister. She also married Eurythmics, Dave Stewart.
As a British 80s kid I look back on the decade with a lot of fondness. 80s music was arguably the peak of pop music, even if you watch old episodes of Top of the Pops it’s like night and day compared to the 70s, like 1980 came and suddenly TOTP had ten times the production values and energy of before.
You should definitely see their version of Shocking Blue’s “Venus”. But also definitely recommend Shakespear’s Sister’s “Stay”. The video is one of the best videos of the 90s and the song itself is staggering.
For preteen Amber you need to check out Boy Meets Girl “Waiting For A Star to Fall,” another pop song you would have locked yourself in your room and listened to until your CD player wore out.
My favourite Bananarama track along with Venus. Such a catchy track. Brings me right back to the amazing 80s. So nostalgiac. Best decade of music ever!
This was a massive banger in the 80’s
It is so funny , I was a teenager in the eighties listening to heavy metal, and I would absolutely turn up my nose to this kind of music. But I can't help but be bop along to it now!
I'm more open to various music now than when I was a kid, too. I think when we're younger we see the music we listen to as part of our identity. With age comes wisdom.
Ahh, Jordan has fallen under the spell of the lovely voices of the lovely ladies of Banana Rama.😁
This song blew my mind when it came out (16). That chorus is EVERYTHING. The music arrangement is damn near directly pulled from an "Italo Disco" song by Michael Fortunati called "Give Me Up", but the chorus bit is original. SAW (Stock Aitken Waterman) were kind of like the British Synth Hit Machine producers in the 80's that Motown was for R&B in the 60's, and this is them in full glory. Side note: Dated my HS Girlfriend in part because she looked like Sara from Bananarama :P EDIT: British people just can't dance. They try, though. They had George Michael who could dance &, the end :P
Never embarrassed, always proud. Those girls understood the meaning of Show Bidniss.
Bananarama were the biggest selling female group of all time in the UK before the spice girls. Siobhan Fahey from the group went on to form Shakespeare Sister who had a number one hit with ‘Stay’, would be great to hear you guys react to that
Their Cruel Summer song was on an AMAZING movie called The Karate Kid - which we would ALL love you to react to. It's another one of those classics that you haven't gotten to quite yet. Hint, hint, wink, wink.
My fave track from my fave girl group! Love these ladies! Had their poster on my college dorm room wall. Awesome song! Fun reaction. Thx!
If you Band Aid, "Do They Know it's Christmas?" again, you will see Bananarama in the video along with other 80s people you've been reacting too.
It will be fun to see how well you do in identifying them after so much more exposure.
Listen to Michael Fortuati's Give Me Up. Stock, Aitken and Waterman essentially "bought" this song's hook from that. Give Me Up was massively popular in Japan
The late 80's early 90's were a unique time for me because my Neice & my Son & daughters had all come of age ~ where they were discovering their own identity through the music & artists of that time ~ just as my older relatives tried to understand the artists who influenced me as a teen ~ I was then trying to keep up with the music artists they were in to
They never took themselves too seriously and still don’t even today. French and Saunders worked with them in the late 80s for the Comic Relief Telethon and became friends with them, one of their nights out together is the inspiration for the famous Absolutely Fabulous scene where Eddie and Patsy fall out of the car drunk.
LP Lost On You live is an experience. She is so unique you will love her.
“Venus” is a huge hit by Bananarama one of my favs from them 😍
Jay, it's called a guilty pleasure! They're plenty of '80s songs I'd try to resist. You should have done their version of "Venus."
What’s cool about this song AND group is they were FUN! It’s all about the fun and good sound! Can’t deny that!
Other girl groups came after them but they were unique, nobody else ever sounded or looked quite them before or after and they never took themselves seriously.
One of the earliest proponents of the Hi-NRG music era of 87-93.
This one really lit up 1987…
This song and album was produced by Stock, Aitken, Waterman - who produced "You Spin Me Round Round", Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, and a bunch of other 80's Brit Pop legends. Glad you had a good time.
And Amber EVERYONE did those dance moves in the Dance Clubs back in the 80's on the Dance Floor!!! Nothing deep!!! Just people expressing that they hear a rumor!!! lol It was fun!!!
"That was so much fun" - that's Bananarama in a nutshell!😂😂😂
Fantastic song to conclude today! Always makes me think of the summer of ‘87 when this came out. IIRC it was featured in a comedy at the time called “Disorderlies” starring The Fat Boys.
BananaRama's cover of Venus is pretty awesome too. Original was by Shocking Blue....loved that song when I was a teen!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah these girls were fun. Just look at their greatest hits package for your next song and pick one and you won't be dissappointed. Some of my personal favs are "Robert DeNiro's Waiting", "Aie A Mwana", "Shy Boy", "He was really saying something" and their cover of "Nathan Jones".
Men and boys were crazy about this group. But they were massive in the 80s
I just wish i could take you both back to the 80s, just for one day and night, I just know you'd both love it. And the day after that I'd be taking you to the 70s. Aawwww man you both would love it I know. ❤🎶🕺💃
an 80's dance song that would always get turned all the way up. !!
and a great video dance routine. background dancers. LOL
made me smile again !!
I couldn’t remember what this was when I read it, but when I heard the opening notes I knew exactly what it was.
Oh my goodness, the music, fashion, dancing is sooooo 80's. Love it!
Loved these gorgeous talented ladies. Would not have been the 80's without them. And yes there are some 80's videos that were and are like WTH?
If you want more of this, go down the Expose rabbit hole. And you still got to do some Jody Watley!
During Christmas season of 1987, flew to Australia and this was part of the airplane's pop songs that got played. Lost count how many times I heard it on that flight.
the title reminded me of their most underrated song " I can't help it" ..you'll love it...one of their best imo...its a hidden gem :D
You guys have to do 10,000 Maniacs for Female Friday!
Yes!
Bananarama is such an amazing group! This song is one of my favorites from them! Thanks for the share! 🎉❤
Bananarama were part of the Stock,Aitken and Waterman stable who were known as The Hit Factory, they had Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Donna Summer, Jason Donovan and many other artists who became famous thanks to them
This is the ‘2nd phase’ of Bananarama whereby they teamed up with ultra-successful UK producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. SAW produced over 100 Top 40 UK hits and were omnipresent in the mid-late ‘80s/early ‘90s (for better or worse).
SAW operated a ‘hit factory’ type of production with many of their songs having a very similar Eurobeat sound although the Bananarama tracks featured rare co-writing credits with the ladies so they were more involved than many of the other acts.
Yes, SAW were unstoppable in the latter part of the 80s. They produced Bananarama, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, early Kylie Minogue - the list goes on.
A great female singer of the 70’s and 80’s that has a Rod Stewart gravelly voice, is Suzi Quattro. She was really popular in the UK and did cameos in the hit TV series Happy Days. Have a listen to She’s in love with you, or Can the Can. Her voice is memorable.
Your next one from the ladies should be their cover of “Venus”. By the early 90’s one of the ladies paired up with another and formed a group called Shakespeare’s Sister. You need to do that group’s song and video called “Stay” from 1992. Please did this one! You won’t be sorry.
one reason the 80's were so much fun!
The 80s was the era of big hair and glittery costumes 😀 Check out "Love in the First Degree" and "I want you back."
I forgot about this song! I loved it. Thank you!!
Another 80's group to try is Expose. Great vocals
The bells and chimes in mid 80s and early 90s music KILLS me. And I never heard this song in the 80s.
Being from the UK, I grew up listening to Bananarama. I loved them. Loved your reactions. X
another one of my faves from the 80s, omg this song brings back memories of my childhood, glad yall liked it❤️
You really need to check out Stay from Shakespeares Sister, which was a group that Siobhan Fahey (the blonde with the bangs) was in after Bananrama, that song has such a different sound and feel to anything you will have heard, it's a great track.
I would be so freaking happy if they reacted to Shakespears Sister
Bananaramas harmonies are legend
This is my favorite Bananarama song!! It's so catchy!! One of these singers went on to the group "Shakespear's Sister" - their smash hit "STAY" is a must listen!! Keep smiling y'all!! 😁
