    God they were gorgeous. They were humble too. They never acted like they were stuck up stars. They remind me of the members of ABBA & Eddie Van Halen in their humbleness. EVH, once when asked how does it feel being revered like some guitar god & being featured on the covers of all the magazines of the day, said "I don't know about all that. I'm just a punk kid who loves to play guitar I'm not a star nor special I'm just one of the guys" Ummmm, if that's not the understatement of all time I don't know what is. Well, these ladies were like that. They could dance too. Every single one of them. I don't know who I like best because I love them all. Sorry, but if you weren't around when Bananarama was at their peak.................I cannot explain how awesome a time it was to you, and I won't even try.

    Goddess on the mountain top
    Burning like a silver flame
    The summit of beauty and love
    And Venus was her name
    She's got it
    Yeah, baby, she's got it
    I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
    At your desire
    Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
    At your desire
    Her weapons were her crystal eyes
    Making every man mad
    Black as the dark night she was
    Got what no one else had
    Wah!

    Hearing this brings back for me happy memories of dancing with some friends to this song at a club in West Los Angeles in July 1986. I was in my early 20s, having graduated from college 3 months earlier. It was one of the happiest, most carefree moments of my life, the 8 weeks I spent in Southern California during that glorious summer of 1986.

    What I liked about Bananarama is that they never made any false claims .. they never claimed to be good singers or dancers, they were just three ordinary girls who happened to be in the right place at the right time and made the most of it, they never got carried away with their own hype or had any ideas of grandeur ... brilliant stuff

    Fun Fact about Venus by Bananarama. In the US, it spent Labour Day of 1986 at #1. In their UK home? #8. It is not even one of their 5 greatest hits in the UK! In fact, Bananarama has yet to have a #1 (or a #2, for that matter) hit in the UK. It Ain't What You Do, Shy Boy, Robert DeNiro's Waiting, Love In The First Degree, and a cover of The Beatles' Help, all placed at #3 or #4 on the charts.

    Both Shocking Blue's (the original) and Bananarama's version of this song went to #1 in the US.

      And many US radio stations (especially oldies) back then referred to this as "Venus by Shocking Blue" to avoid confusion with Frankie Avalon's "Venus" he hit with originally in 1958 and with a disco version in 1976.

    Someone explain to me why the 1980s wasn't the best decade ever for music and everything!!!

      Because of the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

      50’s thru 80’s had their own brand of good music, and in IMHO music, by and large, died in 1989 and has digressed to rap crap, Beyoncé, Madonna, et al pop slop, and everything between.

    Love Siobhan's dress in this clip! After they ditched the dungarees and glammed up their image for True Confessions Siobhan almost always made the most daring fashion choices.
