Siobhan Fahey, the short blonde-haired member of Bananarama went on to form the group "Shakespears Sister" in 1988. You guys played the song "Stay" about 7 months ago and really liked the video. She had black hair in that duo/group.

I will always and forever love Bananarama. You should check out Fun Boy 3's cover of, "It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it." Fun Boy 3 was formed by Nev, Terry, and Lyn, when they left The Specials. Banarama sings alongside Tery Hall. Also, Terry cowrote "Out lips are sealed" with Jane Wiedlin from the Go Go's. FB3 did a great version of Our Lips are sealed. If you haven't checked out The Specials, you should. Two-tone Ska at its best! 💜💜💜

You can get all the way from the Specials in the 70s to Shakespeares Sister in the 90s through Bananarama. The Specials split up and started Fun Boy Three, with the Bananarama girls as their backing vocals. The girls became Bananarama and then Siobhan split off to start Shakespeares Sister with Marcella Detroit. It would be fun to have you see the progression by watching a Fun Boy Three video like "it aint what you do (its the way that you do it)". Especially as you've already seen videos by all the other groups.

Thanks for this reaction... Bananarama joined the 'Stock, Aitken and Waterman' factory that produced other names such as Dead or Alive, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Divine, Hazel Dean and even some Donna Summer, to name a few. They were a 'hit making' studio from the late 80s, then it all dried up when the sound of music changed and got heavier etc. and moved direction. Still, they had some amazing songs for their time!

There's one arm movement from this video that became the thing to repeat in our own dancing. See the 4:36 and 5:14 mark (among other times)--it's like a vertical, interchanging, wave-type of motion.

@@laziojohnny79 What the Big Three did with "Oh Susanna" was called an "arrangement" and Robbie van Leeuwen just stole that arrangement for "Venus". A "personal touch" was what the Big Three did with Oh Susanna, not what Robbie van Leeuwen did with their song. Which was just plagiarism. In this day and age he'd be sued for it. And he'd lose. 😀

I really loved this song when it came out - still one of the best cover songs!

The short haired blonde is Siobhan Fahey who later formed Shakespears Sister. I think you guys did their Stay video. She’s the lower voiced dark-haired lady in that video - the scary one, lol.

I just noticed the 1st couple were French Apache dancers. The Apache is a dance in which the male dancer tries to demolish the female dancer throwing the female to the floor and draging across the floor as she desperately tries to hold on to her man. Well in this song the roles have reversed it is the female throwing (pushing) the man away as he desperately tries to get with her, LOL.
