Dick Clark Interviews Bananarama - American Bandstand 1986

[@meowzer999]

Ha I remember it! I wuz totally in love with Keren...wait, I still am hahaha.

[@manhattangrrl]

They were so cool back in the day. Still are actually. Especially Karen and Siobhan. Sarah's not too shabby either.

[@shakespearssisterfan2593]

How cute is not Siobhan?! And I really love her outfit!

[@chrishuston6652]

And An EXTRA Special Hello To SIOBHAN💗💗💗💗💗 The woman of my dreams

[@felinefanII]

Siobhan, stunningly beautiful too bad this is such a short interview.

[@ajs41]

Irish girls are usually more attractive than English girls. I'm English and I notice it when I visit Ireland.

[@JeremyYost]

My whole high school dressed like that in 1986

[@tonywilliams6428]

HIGHLY underrated 80s hotties!

[@fredmila]

They were anytthing but underrated back in the day

[@gabstanace2]

How can they be underrated when they are the all-female group with the largest number of singles worldwide in the history of pop music?

[@xanderusa1]

They are so fashion until today. Even Madonna copied some of their outfits.

[@ProblematicTube]

I thought I recognized (in a different video) a pair of tight black cycling shorts with belt that siobhan was wearing, madonna wore years later on the blond ambition tour for keep it together.

[@STSCanada1984]

Sara and Keren's Bristol accents! 🤯

Grazie di esistere

They were so unlike any Girl Group that Dick Clark interviewed and had on The Show. Where The Ronettes and Shangri-Las were Family and the others came out of Motown & The Brill Building, Keren Woodward & Sarah Dallin were friends in school then met Siobhan Fahey (pronounced Shevon) of Irish Background at College. They didn't dress alike and you never saw them in Gowns like The Supremes and En Vogue. In The UK they are Rock Royalty to the point that Melanie Brown (Mel B) The Spice Girls idolized them. They to many kicked the door open for every Girlband in The UK many of which never made it on US Soil. The All Saints, Sugababes, Misteeq, Eternal, and Girls Aloud. When they talked about Venus, it was on the recommendation of Pete Waterman who is a Legend on UK Soil that Simon Cowell made his bones with when he was starting out. The biggest irony is that they didn't want to release Venus but it became their biggest US Hit. Girls Aloud went through the same thign, not liking Love Machine (Not The Miracles Song), but it goes to Number One, and then they had to fight to get The Promise released and it also goes to Number One.

I'm sure it wasn't their next song. "I Heard a Rumor" is from the album "Wow" and it came out in 1987 this from 1986 and they were on this show singing songs from the "True Confessions" album.

[@lelxrv]

Some of the stuff they wear is pretty popular today.

[@simon5005]

WOW...........Sara's brows and eye makeup! Must have been on a whim!!!

[@818Cali_Tali]

LOL yea it must have been. Honestly i love how it looks on her. It's a bit too dark and on the dramatic side, but she wears it well.

[@Scotty-P]

I LOVED Siobhan then!

[@seanlee7054]

I love Bananarama and MrPoopface

[@TheTimbo623]

Sarah's eyebrows.

[@shable1436]

Fashionistas

[@ChelasGomez]

Oui, les filles avaient des coquillages

[@winsoft]

It's bAnAna, not bEnEna :-D

[@arricammarques1955]

Bananarama Panorama?

[@bryandaniel3429]

Mañoslaseñal.Qui.no sirbee

[@blktenor]

Was their next song "I Heard a Rumor?"

[@sebasvinylclub]

blktenor no, I Heard A Rumour was released in 1987 not 1986

[@orbitsun]

Dick Clark, one of the worst interviewers ever. I do appreciate some of the interviews, though. Up close with Keren is a treat, then and now.

[@citygirl5705]

Yeah, he's really annoying.
