The 80’s were the best of times!! The music, clothes, hair and communication with each other!! Glad I was part of it!! Wish part of it could just return.

[@lukemeier8917]

You can see even then in the video how they were already starting to infiltrate and corrupt the music industry with the Africans. In the Old Testament the Liberals infiltrated the Jewish religion and had a fake Son of God that was half African and half Jewish that was their agenda to corrupt the religion it caused the downfall of Israel and Judah and he enslaved and used whips on white people to build satanic temples. That's why there had to be a new testament because the Old Testament was corrupted in the Bible even says so . The Bible says not to even associate or intermarry with them because they will destroy your culture. Whenever you see that happening you know that they are trying to infiltrate and corrupt the culture. The Jewish religion supports this that is their agenda.

[@evangeliastavridou7083]

Of course the best time ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊

[@ChristopherWinch]

The 80s had the best movies the best music everything better than 2024

[@jf9096]

Wish I could go back in a time machine to the 80's, to a happier time....who's with me? There's room.

[@sandrad628]

I was 25 in 1983........save a seat for me.

[@dorisrivas6055]

Me!!

[@Devo13]

Best times. 52 now and...it was awesome!

[@Gargameo6]

Just live your mobile phone in the Present. Can you manage that ?

[@Gargameo6]

@brexitman Don't get me wrong. I was ironical, and I fully agree with your opinion. We lost our way somewhere, the whole world is one big mess, and it's not simple because all of us are in this equation. Me, you, our friends, etc. we all contributed to it. Hello from Zagreb, Croatia.

[@haysfordays]

Don;t know why, maybe it's the audience, dancers, but this is 100% representative of the vibe of that time to me.

[@mastercly4031]

I'm still dancing to this song in March of 2024.... long live the 80's!

[@spkrause]

This song is a timeless masterpiece. In addition to the incredible beat and harmonized vocals, it's so emotional. I still get a feeling of sadness and loneliness listening to it. Just beautiful.

[@k-1717]

i feel the same! trying to understand how

[@bruceschurgot3536]

I'll go I was 26 when I first heard this song: 1984. Very hot summer LA Olympics California. Things were bad for a while, but they got better. Very evocative song. I will never forget it! 😌

[@lxdimension]

Me too

[@giash1]

I guess some of us lived through that moment at a certain time in our lives.

[@johnstairman4909]

We will never get these special times again

[@abrahambowen]

This song is one of the very best to come out of the 80's. 2023 I'm still jamming to it.

[@tombrad9950]

Such fun memories. I am 57 years old first heard this song when i was 17 back in 1983 bananarama thank you for all the wonderful memories.that time still lives in my heart.❤

[@mattd844]

Notice how things look much cooler and flashy without so much technology on stage. Pure talent and crowd participation.

[@halloweenville1]

Gotta love those neons, the 80's was great because it didn't rely on CGI to make shows look razzly.

[@lassie123456]

40 years old. It's mad how time flies. There will never be a decade like the 1980s.

[@themanftheworld8439]

1970s was even better.

[@samtopeka2535]

I'm still nostalgic for the 1880's!

[@daverawcliffe3212]

Truly one of the greatest pop songs of the 80’s , I love the melody and lyrics, it’s not only a depressing song but also at the same time an uplifting song, I’ll remember this song forever.

[@chuckcummins9149]

Said it before ... saying it again, if I could choose one decade to relive ...would definitely be the eighties ... !!

[@billpatterson5830]

2020 had a very cruel summer and 2021 will not be any better. I want my 80's

[@sanfetor3810]

Everybody had a very 2021s summer. You are not alone, amigo. I am from 80s and love it!!

[@warrabbit7882]

Was für eine geile Zeit !!! Super Musik, keine Handys, nirgends Tattoos, sondern nur natürliche Schönheit und vor allem gute Laune. Da hat man sich noch auf das wesentliche konzentrieren können :) Was für eine tolle Zeit mit sauguter Musik und diese Zeit wünsche ich meinen Kindern, damit sie diese Unbefangenheit auch mal genießen können.

[@sheilamitchell2215]

Love love love Bananarama! Gorgeous girls great tunes got the 80s all over it and I wish I could go back there and stay there! Much nicer times and happier too xx

[@jorgepadilla2365]

I love 80s music, i had would like to have lived in those years, the music was the best no doubt.

[@wackyraces01]

In the days when music was ALIVE!!!!!!!

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

These ladies were such Talent, Great pillars of the 80s

[@judykarey8150]

Lots of memories from the 80's. The fashions, the dance moves, hair styles, Amazing.

[@maxpunkin3128]

If I ever walk through a portal, if they exist please take me back to the 80,s!!

[@dorisrivas6055]

Oh, 80s take me back on time. 😍

[@user-wy4wp1np9z]

That guitar riff is a gem ✨🖖🏻

[@redhenry]

These really were the glory days of pop....

[@barrydriscoll7720]

Absolutely getting in that time machine to a 1980's BBC television centre 😍😍😍😍

[@arnie8604]

I just realised 37yrs after this was in the charts .... i STILL cant keep my eyes off Keren !!

[@anthonypoole6417]

Siobhan for me

[@prezakid9]

You and me both Buddy!

[@Bigtimecharlie25]

So true

[@JamesJohnson-nv8zo]

I can't believe 37 years after this was in the charts that you are still eyeing my girl. Karen is mine, buddy. Move on.

[@dandansen571]

I'm with @anthony Poole

[@amairanivelazquez3676]

I was born in 2000 but I love 1980’s music. I wish I would have lived during these decades when life was much more simple and music was actual music

[@RicArmstrong]

Please God, get me out of 2020 and take me back to the 80's 😧

I'll book a ticket and join u. 😁.

It's been, over 41 years still song is still standing, local known and international respected. God bless Thank you 💕...

[@vascojoao]

the guitar of this song is divine

[@ianf.7849]

I have so many stories about my experiences in the 80s. I have been sharing them with a 23 year old girl I started dating and she can't believe them.

[@patrickpaul7360]

In 1983 I was a 21 year old died-in-the-wool soul boy and this song was my guilty pleasure at the time. Now in my 50s I don't need to hide that fact any more. What wasn't a secret in those days was how much I had the hots for Sarah Dallin! Fantastic song and still their best to this day in my very humble opinion

[@davidframpton8215]

I love heavy rock but always time for these girls. Stil love them 42 years on. Beautiful music and girls. Love them.

[@simon5005]

Thirty-seven years later and these women are still gorgeous. And I got to sing Venus with them onstage in 2012...........AWESOMENESS!!!

[@toshkoljubomirov9469]

Back then in 1983...so precious recalls...even now, when I am completing 50 in my life!

[@US_MALE]

80's WAS THA BEST ERA. A LOTTA GOOD MUZIK. IT WAS 2 SHORT.

[@jamesbrawley5039]

Great 80s Music....a great time for music !!! Still the best even in 2021...

[@kingporter67]

Excellent Bananarama Cruel Summer song, P.S. Tops of the Pops was the place in England that had the best songs ever and you can dance there as well!!

[@simplemods7098]

In 80's /89 all was new every day and months....punk, new wave, romantic white funk, rap, black funk, mods, gothic, reggae, dub...and it was fantastic 'cause we loved all...The bananarama was the girls next door we dated 'cause we had the look and we were young and beautiful...80's was a big party...i was 20 and now i'm so sad for the new generation with covid....hope they'll move crasy...for all of us!!!

[@beingsshepherd]

Sampling, acid house, hip hop, gangster rap, New Jack Swing, Eurodance, ...

This came out when I was in college in my 20s. Now I feel old. People were happier back then.

[@arricammarques1955]

Not the years mate, it's the kilometers.

[@glynismcgourlick]

So true, my era 70s, but love 80s too. Didn't have a care in the world. So stressful these days, poor kids if today 😨

[@LifeProducersofNewJerseyLLC]

@@glynismcgourlick I grew up in the 70's progressive rock radio days. Then came the 80's, and it was fun, I really liked how they pared music with movies.

[@glynismcgourlick]

@@LifeProducersofNewJerseyLLC do you remember listening to Luxembourg radio under the sheets lol.... it didn't start til late, no earphones then. Not for your mother and father to hear. ... all the hits 😊

These were great times. People really *_were_* happier. Pre internet and social media. The world was a less cynical place. I would give anything to go back.

[@andrewphillips3879]

I’m only 15 but I would do anything to be born in the late 70s to grow up in the 80s, seems like a dream

[@dazza9859]

When I stressed and have a few drinks.I always feel better listening to banarama.

[@welshie1979]

When you think about music nowadays, particularly post 2020 there is no new talent or music? The top 40 in the 80s was a conveyor belt. Social media doesnt help..killing a generation

[@latoyabell8991]

One of my favorite groups!! Love this song!!

[@chortleboy]

God I miss the 80’s! Skateboarding in Philly going to Punk Shows listening to New Wave and Hip Hop…shopping at thrift stores…buying Air Jordan’s amd trashing them in a week skateboarding

[@grahamcareford4303]

Makes me feel very nostalgic for the 80s.

...myself I was 14 and I was waiting for kill em all that I saw it was coming out an circus and hit parade magazine....

[@extacyl6926]

I was only 1 years old, but I still hold this song dearly to my heart from the KARATE KID

[@tpolerex7282]

I just happened to be in England in for the summer in 1983 visiting from California and remember this song completely taking over the airways- BBC, along with The Police’s Every Breath You Take.

[@thepopfiles4294]

I was born in 83 so my knowledge of Bananarama is limited. But I know if I was able to, these ladies would have been my Spice Girls. It’s so chaotic and nonchalant, that it’s actually pretty cool. And having discovered their back catalogue, they deserve all the accolades they have.

[@renecousin7244]

Quelle belle époque et, que de souvenir !

[@michaelwood875]

we all looked great in the '80's!

[@beingsshepherd]

Girls wore baby doll dresses, we all had puffy hair, keyrings and t-shirts printed with photos that faded in the wash.

[@jamesanthony5681]

We were young, thin, with smooth, glowing unwrinkled skin, and most of us had hair.

[@tomayre7163]

A great song from one of the best films of the 80's, Karate Kid. 1984 🤔 Man, where have all the years gone?😢

Fantástico hino dançante do início dos anos 80. As meninas estavam muito lindas nessa época!!! Clássico!!

[@TheSuperbird43]

My girlfriend Karen from Brogan Cadillac and I went to the rink in Bergen County NJ we always skate at. While we were there we met some of Karen's closest friends. Thes girls were very pretty and AWESOME on roller skates!!! Karen introduced me to them and we all hung out together!!! I stayed incognito and checked out how good Karen's friends were at skating. These girls were every bit as good as Karen said they were. They were in for a MAJOR surprise!!! I sat down and Karen and her friends went out on the skate floor!!! This song started to play and I got powered up real QUICK!!! I said to myself " Time to hand out a skate lesson!!! I got out on the skate floor and dropped the clutch!!! I got in the middle of the skate floor and told Karen and her friends " This is how it's DONE"!!! I did the New England shuffle and uncorked every move I knew I cleared the skate floor and my moves went into OVERDRIVE!!!! Karen and her friends were in SHOCK!!! They joined me on the skate floor and we brought the HOUSE DOWN!!!! We got done and everyone was cheering so loud the whole building SHOOK!! Karen's friends were crying and SCREAMING " Where did you learn to SKATE"!!!! Karen then told her friends I was a skating champion in Maine and I am a Pro-Roller Skater!!!! Later I teamed up with Karen and her friends and we put on a Pro - Roller skating show!!!!
