#Bananarama #Venus #TopOfThePops - Hudba
I'm 98 yrs old and I love my Bananarama. They are the greatest artists of all time.
No botox,no fillers,just natural beauties! You can see that they are having fun without being obsessed to have a perfect coreography.And Shioban is my favourite
What about all the makeup? Which one is Shioban?
2023 and this song is still hitting love it
It's like the dance, time , passion, energy is burned into my mind. Love the 80s!
Those are our parents and grandparents in the audience having fun . 😀
No cell phones, Facebook, just living the moment.
Fuck yeah I'm going Krazy when I see the video I grew up In the era ..cummon.😅
😊
No body arts / painting, which has become the norm in today's youth. Moral standards sure have declined in the past 40+ years.
They really made Canada proud!
This is back when no one questioned lip syncing, but who cares. They are awesome no matter what.
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.
Simplesmente Sensacional ❤❤
De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...
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
And their songs were fire! right place and right era! The 1980s was the peak!
And yet they managed to have a music career well into their, what... 40s?
I enjoy their hapiness and joy, today soo much people faking smiles, this women were trully happy and enjoying the moment, I wish I was 50% that good.
Dance Club duo. Who would occationally have a third member.
So true. Well said.
Brilliant girl group from a golden era ❤
I must admit I bought their music on cassette back then. And I would do it again...
I would rewind the cassette by hand with my pencil for them.
That’s all there was 😂
I have the vinyl LP from then.

@@VCRider R/W button was your friend. 😁
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!
2024 This song is still hitting, love it
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.
Sounds like it was an amazing time 🎶 I enjoy hearing all the memories connected to songs
I used to go to LA on vacation several times a year from my home in Minneapolis. I always went to my favorite West Hollywood club, which I think was called KOX. Perhaps we crossed paths there?
Это песня 1969 года...
@@davidmcmahon5809 - My friends and I went dancing at Baxter's, a club in Westwood not far from the UCLA campus (where I spent most of the summer of 1986).
Once I went to a club in West Hollywood called 'Paradise'. Did you know it?
@@davidmcmahon5809C'mon! Was there really a club named "KOX"?
2021 and this song still hits
Don't forget about 2022 and beyond!

I was 16 then - loved them, boy george, Marilyn, Devo, B-52's, the Cure, and Duran Duran, Power station etc.....best music ever....
COVID ...... looking back my child hood was the best .....we had the best music the best sitcom s! And TOPOFTHEPOPS👌😌
What does this have to do with coronavirus????
@@jennajackson6305 wow 🤩
@@mitchmitchel1915 aww yes 👍
Louise I’m with you like million percent. I was 16 !! 😳😳😳😳 when this was released. Fantastic best times ever. If only I could go back...................☺️
@@stupot50english82 definitely
You can see the girls are having great fun here; they are true friends, not working too hard by miming to their own voices and... ...knowing that guys want them!
I always had a thing for Siobhan. Still do. Her face is just so intriguing. Oh, and this is one of THE best lip- synching performances ever.
Yeah, it was definitely her face. 🧐😂
Lip-synching?! How dare you. LOL!!!!
She was fine as hell
These women aged about 15 years in the last 35 years, its ridiculous how recognizable they still are, even in their 60's.
How could you NOT? Whew.....
Sarah and Keren are celebrating 40 years of hits ! I’d love if they came to the states.
I'm a true blown Metalhead and I love this group
The video quality is really good for 1986
Yes it's curious
If a tape is looked after well it can still retain its quality for many years.
Song came out in the US in the late Summer of 1986 and got to #1 in early September of '86.
Doing the dance now in my living room. Love red wine. Love this song
Keren has absolutely got it.
Yes she totally was my favourite.
It took years of my friends trying to convince me there were two other women in the group beside Keren. lol
Hell yes!
@@swordmonkey6635 Are there two other women? I haven't noticed
Yeah baby
Нетлеющий хит!!! На какой-нибудь дискотеке-2090 будет ещё та зажигалочка! Потому что проверено временем! Классика танцхитов всех времён и народов!!!
Нетленка
шизгара
воистину
Хоть бы микрофоны для виду взяли, а, да и так сойдет
Absolutely love Bananarama. Brilliant. Never took themselves too seriously but their music was fantastic. Nothing really rehearsed (but that was the way it was in the 80s...the IG generation wouldnt understand) but they were always brilliant. Actually seeing them this week (tomorrow) at Chelmsford racecourse
Still got it. Saw them live last werk in leicester.
They all must be around 55 now?
@@oldfrittenfett1276 keren 63 Sara 62
Gosh!!! I sooooooooooooooooo love this song. I still remember when it came out. A perfect chart-topper...
Baby boomer!! I wasn’t even born in the 80s.
@@Theyoutuberpolyglot Wait. What the heck does "baby boomer" mean?
@@Terric90 People who were born in the 60s. I was born in the 90. I am a millenium.
I was born in 1992.
You do realise that this is a cover from the original from Shocking Blue (1969)
When pop music, was GOOD pop music!!!
And something you can listen over and over without getting tired of it.
They were so awesome back in the 80s!
I always love how Sara spins at 2:34. Effortlessly cool. This is such a perfect performance. ❤
She Was Always My Favorite
Sarah war auch meine.Cooles Rattenscharfes Mädchen .👧
AMO!! ASSISTINDO EM JUNHO DE 2024!! 😘😘😘
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.
I was 10 and I was such a fan!!! So good!!!
1986: Oh my! Those were the days. Still remember.
They certainly were, at the DISCO in Toronto, till 3am, then off to the Lake to have some 'DEEP' discussions in the back seat of my '73 Dodge Dart.
Still jamming while driving my mom's and dad's 1986 Volkswagen Jetta.
Both Shocking Blue's (the original) and Bananarama's version of this song went to #1 in the US.
As well they should!
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.
Such a hot song, brings back memories of my youthful years ❤🕺💃✌👍
Hollywood could learn a thing or two from these three ladies.
God i miss the 80'S ! Best dam decade to grow up in !
Ja
90’s was weirder
You ain’t lyin’
110% agree
Definitely!
It's a beautiful song.
i could never work out which one i fancied the most
Love the style an rhythm slays
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.
This and "Cruel Summer" should have been #1s in both the UK and the US.
British 🇬🇧 Pop music 🎶 is the best in the world 🤘🏻
U wish😂
@@kaidoteffo730 80's British pop music 🤘🏻
The dance movies done in the original video, and in this video, were done by none other than Bruno Tonioli, now one of the judges on Dancing with the Stars. In the 1980s he was doing the choreography for many videos, including Elton John and others.
Super daina ir gražios merginos🤗😍
80’s music was the best.
WRONG! The 60's was the best era in many ways!
i love you bananarama forever
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.
That dress.. and those moves in that dress!!! Pure fire.
Who elves is listening to this classic song in 2024
I remember this show when it was on CBS TV in New York. I love it.
Yes. CBS aired a short-lived US version of Top of the Pops.
Love Bananarama!
Всегда мечтал уметь так петь: открываешь рот без микрофона, а звук чудесным образом идёт! 😂
Идешь сначала в суз школу, потом в высшее учебное заведение по классу вокала, потом на студию, записываешь фанеру и потом можешь открывать рот.
I love how they were totally singing in this video!!...............;)
I'm 145 and still lovin this
145?
Bananarama's Venus Disco version is feel so good!!!♥
Fun decade. What’s not to like? Take me back...
Keran and Sarah was good friends with my mum in the 80s. They used to be at my mums all the time, I remember they used to take me to their flat in Holborn.
Very cool song.
The 80’s were great! Thank you for sharing
Every era has a bunch of "IT" moments that don't really make sense to other generations, either before or after. Bananarama were just a group of super cute and sexy young women making electronic pop music candy. Their fame was like a warm and sunny summer's afternoon, brief but brilliant, and leaves you wondering if it was a memory or a dream.
This is such a brilliant description of how it is!
这首歌在当年是妥妥的神曲，被无数人追捧。
Can't wait to see them next week, love the 80s
Я услышал Эту Легендарную песню от Венус именно в таком исполнении! Примерно в 1987 году и очень Благодарен Девушкам, Спевшим по-Американски Эту Шедевральную4 Композицию! Люблю Их в лучшем смысле Этого Слова!
Это Великобритания *
Love Keren, love Sarah, ADORE Siobhan!
This hits the '80s spot.
Thanks again ❤😂
OHHH YEA💕💕💕SHE GOT IT💕💕💕😎
Honey 2014. You. Hit. It. Right..SOOOOOOOO. right.
I use to love their music as a kid
I listen to Bananarama everyday.
The most unbelievable thing about this video is that it is 38 years old.
Time, time...
Это очень и очень суппер. Да я русский. Мне они очень нравятся. В 1986 мне 17 лет. Удачи всем
Ура!
Мне 13 лет и я обожаю все песни Stock Atken Waterman(сорри за ошибки) и я тож русская😂😌
Привет, одногодка!
I just luv the choreography.
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤love these gals music
My children hood too I m was born 1984
Probably most of these people didn't realize how lucky & privileged they were to be there right in front of them. IF only I could go back in time !!
I remember watching this on Top of the Pops in 1986. I was 7 years old at the time. Seems like yesterday in some ways.
They aren’t even pretending to be really singing lol
Well, without microphones, the issue is not that they are faking it, but…physics
I love Bananarama but this is like at a bachelorette party being held in a gay bar and watching some drunk girls storming the stage during a drag show thinking they've got it- yeah baby they've got it
It was actually policy of TOTP requiring all bands not to sing, only lip sync to avoid the ensuing static from the electronic equipment on the stage, which was not set up for live performances since the studio had to accommodate the dancers. At least that is what I heard years later.
One of my all time faves
So good
It's amazing that I don't remember how freaking sexy they were when this song came out. Absolutely beautiful.
That’s a great song.
I'm 44 years old and put on gold chains and roller skate and I dance to this song!
She's gorgeous, .. my GOD ... She's gorgeous, VENUS !
Блин, как же это было давно. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
И не говорите. 😀🤣
Standing ovation! Again and again and yet again!!!🎈🍒🎈
OH YESS THE 80's
Its a kind of energetic songs...😍🥰😘😗Love all These 3 Cute Girls....Long Live To BANANARAMA...
¡ Muchísimas gracias Maestro, por compartir este MARAVILLOSO Clásico. Bendiciones.
Шизгара = She's got it 🥰💯💥

何度繰り返して聴いても、脳天ビリビリに響く…
こりゃハマったな〜😅
ICONIC !!!!
Мне 13 и я обожаю эту песню)))
Once upon a time this music was the newest remake of a retro song by Shocking Blue. And today it also sounds like a retro 😀
Awww when I was 6, but I remember my brothers dancing this music
The woman on the left slays ❤ Best dancer.....Go girl xxxx
Siobhan was wearing the Pretty Woman dress 4 years before Julia Roberts.
