Bananarama - The Wild Life (Official Video)

[@atreyuprincipalh4043]

This song is so beautiful ,the 80’s was the best time to grow up..this songs bring so memories and emotions

[@bradlafferty6076]

I miss it

[@clicketysplit1817]

We only miss our youth, not the AiDieS.

[@zeddeka]

I just watched a video about the 60s and everybody there was saying the 60s was best. Could it be that people always chose the decade they were young in??

[@randallkoch6215]

@@zeddeka To an extent. Myself I came of age in the "70s (paid my 1st income tax, voted in my 1st election, etc., etc. But to me the 80's were my decade. Cable TV (especially Mtv), the "Information Superhighway", (now the Internet) and other things, the world just seemed brand new.

[@Sandlot1992]

Both the Song and the Music Video by Bananarama is totally awesome!

[@randallkoch6183]

This group was so underrated. I thought they were a total package; awesome voices, great looks, excellent stage presence.

[@scottlarson1548]

@Brittany Nope. That would be... The Spice Girls. Bananarama isn't even in the top five female groups in world wide sales. The 90's were *very* good to female groups.

[@zeitgeist909]

Underrated?> Eh???

[@scottlarson1548]

@talvanuss Why do you think that?

[@scottlarson1548]

Tip: you can make extra money by spamming the forums on KZbin.

[@scottlarson1548]

@Fredericka Payn Tip: always use two fake accounts when spamming KZbin so it looks like it's a legitimate conversation.

I loved a pretty wild life in the 80's with Banarama, love them to this day.😊

Me as well! They are amazing!

[@KayleighNatasha]

All three ladies look fabulous

[@patricklena9307]

Just bought the blue ray of this underrated 1984 classic film of the same name, Christopher Penn was CASUAL!!

[@mysticmerman]

This is their best song and should've been a huge hit. The melody, harmony and slow groove are perfect. It doesn't make sense.

[@hippemo]

I agree, also love Trick of the Night it's a beautiful song.

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

@mysticmerman: I don't think it's their best song but it's close. I also love "Rough Justice". Both this and "Rough Justice are definitely some of their very best songs. There's also "Dance With a Stranger" from the 'True Confessions' album that is a beautiful more R&B oriented ballad, where their voices put together sound so refreshingly melodic. Overall, at least these 3 songs seem to be their best because they manage to capture pretty well the spirit of the 80's and from their own generation. Sometimes what's good and honest from an artistic point of view it's not commercially which is unfair...but life is many times unfair...

[@sunnyshine2215]

Why wasn’t this a big hit?!😮

[@KayleighNatasha]

Why wasn't it released in the UK too?

[@mikekaraoke]

It was only released in the US for some reason, considering they had record deals in other parts of Europe etc to release it a well. Although the soundtrack was a hit though so at least that happened!

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

​@@mikekaraoke I guess it was sort of a last minute song/release for the movie only that got lost in the way. This was right after "Rough Justice", when their popularity in the US was at its peak.

[@donniedoesdishes]

eddie van halen held up the movie from being release it was a rare find until about 10 years ago

Great track.. I remember seeing this video way back in 1984.

[@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness.]

I have never heard it before in my life but I knew from the fashion it was 1983 or 1984. I remember the look very well back then, you care so much about what is cool at that age.

[@archangelmichael1827]

Siobhan's contralto voice in the chorus! Wow!!

[@liquidbraino]

This was the best song they ever did. I LOVED this song and loved the movie. Anyone who lived through the 80's should love this song. To me this song IS the 80's.

[@LostZer0]

True! It just has sooo eighties atmosphere and sound, it instantly takes you back in time!

i love that the eighties style the three beautiful always bananarama forever

[@gageohrn]

omg i just court myself singing at the top of my voice and dancing in the lounge room with my ginger cat to this. thank god the blinds are closed blahaha

[@DennySF415]

Definitely their most underrated single. This should have been a big hit. Love this song and video! I miss Siobhan!!

[@alondathomas293]

Denny: It really should have, but it never really took off for some reason, and the movie they did it for (The Wild Life) wasn't a hit either, though. Cruel Summer was their biggest hit besides Venus, though.

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

@@alondathomas293 This would've been a huge hit in America for them had it been properly promoted with the movie...

[@glamnesianouveaux2039]

I ALWAYS miss Siobhan +. The Wild Life should have been HUGE!

[@kiwibelt]

@Freline chart-wise, yes……but Culturally, ‘Cruel Summer” had a far bigger impact. It is considered a classic song of its genre and of the 80s in America.

[@edwardkalima2890]

Fun music and the fashion and hairdos very 80s love love it!!!!

[@Tr0nzoid]

As was common with these theme songs, the song is only in the movie for a moment, and as background during a short pool scene. This movie was advertised on MTV and I went around quoting Chris Penn's line "It's casual," which really doesn't make any sense. I would forget about the movie and discover about a decade later after a random video store pick. I just bought it on DVD; no Blu-Ray yet.

[@Tr0nzoid]

@Freline Yep, I just got it.

What your mother don't know, she won't mind Her good advice was a waste of time You wanna live fast, cutting it fine Make hay while the sun shines No one there to say, you're wrong or right You've waited a lifetime Burning all your bridges tonight This is the wild life It's the wild life Wild life This is the wild life No stone left unturned Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned You might lose your way When you come out to play the wild life I may be too young but I've seen and done Everything that they say is fun I gotta find out for myself In the end there's no one else Every time I try to win I lose I'm tired of waiting Now I'm gonna make my own rules This is the wild life
