Bananarama : Trick Of The Night (UK Version) (PWL Remix) (Video).

[@Mangeosaurus]

Favourite track on True Confessions. I love all the versions of this song, particularly this one. The album one is a pure classic, the Number one mix cool and the Live tour SOS Band version is awesome too.

[@edwardcalvert]

This song came out in late 1986 and that's when I was in 12th grade. I can recall times when I would leave home to go to school and the leave school to go home., that I would end up with this song playing through my mind continuous nonstop.

[@thomasraukamp]

Jolley & Swain: “You can't ruin a perfect song.“ SAW: “Hold my beer!“

[@pcs8973]

Thank you.

[@dadevi]

Bannanarama clearly re-recorded the vocals for this version, so they disagree with you.

[@SmallTownNewYorkCityBoy]

Horse shit. This is a million times better and was a precursor to the mash up craze.

[@Gambler77713]

I recently heard on a podcast called 'Unflopped' that there was two video's made for it and that Bananarama hated it. I just watched this and I thought right away it had to be this one.

[@Zlervo]

Siobhan looks lovely in this vid

[@ElectoneGuy]

She always looks amazing

[@jamescurrier9699]

The original album mix of this underrated Bananarama tune soars WAY above this typical sounding SAW production. When hearing the first seconds of this version years ago, I thought I was listening to a remix of something from 'Princess?'

[@mintberrycrunch4333]

That's because the basis of the music track is indeed "Say I'm Your Number 1" by princess, at varying tempos.

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

I love with all my soul this version Bananarama forever in my heart

I love this mysterious sounding version and soundtrack, but I feel like I get more used to the original album version.

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

I've always loved this version of the song

[@HarryHayfield]

This video was directed by Chris Serle of the BBC's "In at the deep end" where two BBC presenters were asked to do something that they had never done (in this case direct a music video)

[@LeonNikkidude]

I wish they didnt have throw out banana peels in Cruel summer video.Otherwise I think its their most charming song and best video.

[@andrewdavies6288]

Nearly correct. It was actually Paul Heiney which directed this video. I still have the full show in my collection.

[@mickfizz1]

A great SAW production from 1986, which was then mixed by Phil Harding of PWL studios at the time in February 1987.

[@jamiegrifter]

mickfizz1 It was actually produced originally by Swain and Jolley who co wrote it. It was later remixed by the SAW camp for the single release

[@mickfizz1]

yes .. this is indeed true ! My wording was not very accurate about this! i had meant to say a great production by SAW when they mixed it later on .

[@martymcfly754]

And finally this mix was recently included on The Bananarama In A Bunch Singles Box Set YES!

What a beautiful song. This video was made by a first time director BTW, can't remember his name but he was a tv presenter and he made the video as a challenge, i think he did really well 👍

[@billlasich2500]

The album version eerie arrangement lends itself to the obtuse lyrics. Enjoy the original version much more. Definitely right up there with their best.

[@dcrobclark]

I just watched an online documentary of Bananarama where they talked about this video and agree that this was terrible. I'm so glad this wasn't released in America.

[@777kvp]

This PWL remix is far superior to the original Swain Jolley imo....just lends itself so well to the song

[@amandeepv]

I remember the story behind this it was a bbc presenter trying to put the video together and at the end they went with anew video

[@andrewleary7117]

It is from their TRUE CONFESSIONS album...but the single only reached the mid top 30 in the uk

[@mrtimtremmel8465]

there was a competition on an early reality tv show to make the video. I think that this was the one and they hated it!

[@darmok072]

It was an episode from the BBC Documentary series "Q.E.D." with Anthony Clare. They did indeed hate it!

[@byronmills5952]

@@darmok072 It was actually the BBC show 'In at the deep end' presented by Paul Heiney. I much prefer this to the other version made - it must be remembered that they requested it to be made in black and white. Bananarama and London records were deliberately very obtuse in their reaction to this Video . It still puzzles me to this day as to why they participated in the programme in the first place if they were going to be so miserable at the result. In at the deep end was a very popular show - the reaction that was given by them didn't really portray them in a particularly good light in the UK.

[@darmok072]

@@byronmills5952 Thank you! Glad your memory is better than mine. It was a great episode. Didn't his "test" video feature a man in a bear suit dancing to the Beatles? :-)

[@byronmills5952]

@@darmok072 Your memory isn't that bad if you can remember that! His test video did indeed feature a man dressed up in a bear suit serving a young boy jelly on a silver service platter - the young boy then precedes to catapult the jelly back at the bear - all quite surreal! All done to the tones of the Beatles from me to you - the rights of its usage must have been much cheaper back in 1986! Its mild eccentricity in concept must have been chanelled towards impressing Heineys mentor Ken Russell. ☺️

[@RBS_]

...WELL, I, as an American, never saw this Video version, 'cause the original album version was chosen as the 3rd single in the US...and flopped MISERABLY! : ( ...But, to review this video; I can see why the 'Nanas hated it; Keren looks VERY unsure of herself in her close-ups, to the point her hair seems to be covering up her expressions! Sarah has a disinterested stride; she probably didn't like the cold! ...she looks fab, though, great lighting on her skin.... Sibohan fares the best here; she seems to getting into the '40's french euro noir film vibe, & carries herself with an early 'Shakespeare's Sister' confidence (2:24).....but the sunny, 'Say I'm Your Number One' groove-disco sound doesn't gel with the gloomy, cold (notwithstanding, the deleted/ toned down 'male prostitute' lyrics) in the video...OH, well....¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

The shadowing makes me wonder if Keren was pregnant

[@applemask]

It's more likely to be a symptom of this video having been made by an amateur for what we'd nowadays call a reality show.

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

+Applemask I see what you mean. I looked at 2 videos where Sarah was pregnant. Long Train Running and Trippin On Your Love. Better techniques involved.

[@jamiegrifter]

Gregg Sarkasian-McAuliffe Keren was pregnant. The 12" version starts with a recording of her baby's heartbeat recorded before he was born. Siobhan was heavily pregnant in the I Can't Help It video - that's why her tits look enormous and she doesn't appear in the part where they are frolicking in milk with the guys.

[@greggsarkasian-mcauliffe2670]

Thanks. I remember when Siobhan was pregnant. You're right. Her boobs were huge!

[@Aramanth]

*Love the album version more...* 🌃🌉🎷 The song has a sordid dark downtown atmosphere that the remix removes (along with the saxophone). Bananarama look lovely in a black and white video though this is copying a bit of "Robert De Niro" and a crane thrown in. Siobhan looks super hot though!

[@pcs8973]

They fucked with More Than Physical and then they fucked with this. Shame. The band had such high hopes for this one.

[@jiesong7069]

This video does not quite look like an UK version. 😁😁

[@scottbrandts610]

Good mix and re-recorded vocals, but SAW couldn't make up their minds on this track. It got dragged through a stack of re-incarnations. The original 12" being re-worked into Princess's "Say I'm Your No. 1" (The Number One Mix). And, now this - a clear attempt at "Just Be Good To Me" by SOS Band. The original album version reigns supreme - before SAW got their greasy mitts on it.

A dreadful version, actually a kind of dance remix, of a brilliant mellow pop song in its original version.

[@leipziger1969]

That’s not the UK-Version, that’s the US-Version, as well the video as the Mix; that’s the remix from Stock/Aitken/Watermann. The original version (UK-Version) is from Swain & Jolley and it’s much better, more romantically and mystically, even New Wave. The remixing from S/A/W doesn’t fit to this song and sounds artificial, from my opinion...
