All these years later, the ladies can still rock! :)

They've barely aged too

[@paulsimpson1423]

Yes please !!! Great stage presence, and they've still got great voices.

[@joewright2679]

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I STILL LOVE THESE WOMEN AND THIS SONG!!

[@OntCanGuy]

The 80s were the good old days, and so was 2019. The lesson is to live for the moment, because the future is unknown. We were happy then and didn't know how much we would appreciate that today. Be happy every day. God bless us all.

Forever young! HELLO FROM THE AZORES ISLANDS!!

[@ravendranrasalingam490]

5 exam days of my final year Civil Engineering exams at Sunderland Polytechnic. Every morning of those 5 days, before walking to the exam halls in the summer 1989, 15 mins of Bananarama to calm my nerves. Thank you ladies, thank you so very very much from a reasonably successful Civil Engineer.

[@jonnysmythe]

Yesssssss! Bring back the 80s!!! The two remaining ladies look fantastic well done

[@jonnysmythe]

C Hoc ... I disagree. Both look fantastic in my eyes!

One of the greatest songs by one of the most legendary 80s girl bands ever, and it still sounds hecking amazing.

It is a cover of a song from the 60s by Shocking Blue.

[@coryspang7548]

@@alanwhite7912 Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. I think a week or so after I made that initial comment, I heard the original version by Shocking Blue on the radio. I loved Venus even more since now I was finally introduced to the original version. I love Shocking Blue's version, but I grew up with Bananarama's cover as a teen. Thanks for the correction

[@alanwhite7912]

@@coryspang7548 I didn't know it was cover in the 80s until my Dad told me. As a teenager I had a crush on Karen but I think a lot of lads did.

[@thepearlatelier4256]

This is why good music transcends time. It still rocks so fresh after so many decades. Modern musicians should learn from this. Plus they are so down to earth and not having attitude like so many "so called" divas of the younger generation.

[@andrewoliver8930]

They didn't sing live for years. It was a Stock Aitken Waterman hash/cover. Hardly a great example.

[@malcolm2637]

I agree with you that there are some divas in the younger generation but don't generalize too much. There are some young ones who are sick and tired of the older generation criticizing them. I've got a niece who is only in her 20s who is a success due to hard work and not relying on my sister but getting where she is on her own. She recently did the Manchester marathon, trained for six months and raised a £1000 for Alzheimer's. Since I've been on the internet I've witnessed more and more musical talent in the youth😁🎧🎸👍❤️🎼

[@istemihanvarisli]

They are still beautiful, still rockin' and the bassist there is playing an awesome bass line indeed.

[@user-gz4oh3dz5l]

It's a song from many years ago. I still haven't faded.

[@matthewvwuk]

This is such an ear catchy & head bopping song from Bananarama. Whenever I hear this on BBC Radio 2 I just have to turn up the volume on the radio at home, work or when travelling & enjoy it! Anybody who listens to the Sounds of the Eighties show on Friday evenings from 8pm to 10pm by Gary Davies on BBC Radio 2 will recognise that part of this song from one of the 'screams' starts of the 2nd half of the show at 9pm albeit with different but clever lyrics: 'He's got it, Gary he's got it. He's my Venus & my desire, Gary Davies' etc etc! A great show to listen to indeed.

[@ddelaney712]

I'm amazed at the negativety surrounding these girls. Yes, I remember Bananarama back in the glory days of the 80's, but having scrolled down the comments, the people are saying this and that. Going out on a limb here, but Bananarama started out with 3 friends performing their songs. Now? I see two friends who are still friends after all the years between them and now. Still doing what they love and doing it well. Yes, they are older, no, they have nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, both Karen and Siobhan dated and married musicians from their era, but would any of you, in your hearts, not just be happy for them? If as you guys state, they relied on a lot of stuff, but they got paid for doing so, and well done to them. If some of the songs were just punching in the time, it would have been obvious, but the years, the hits, the highs and lows, can anyone really begrudge them their success? I couldn't. Well done, Sara and Karen, thank you for the memories, hoping all of your family, extended etc. is doing incredibly well. Peace.

[@glasshalffull8471]

That many words deserved a reply.They were awesome in the 80s,great run of hits and fantastic videos.Great to see them still putting on a great show.Without naming names I would take Bananarama over any of the current Big Female Singers.The 80s was a golden age with M.J,Madonna,Whitney,Prince,The 2 Georges,Duran,Spandau etc,as I often say to the youngsters "They're Better Than Beiber"!!....Good To See Passion Is Alive,Yeah Baby You Got It!!
