Watching BANANARAMA Music Videos! (EP 2)

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) is actually a 1969 song from an odd band called Steam...Bananarama version is a cover and definitely the BEST version of the song...you really should listen to their "Wild Life", "Rough Justice", "Venus", "Cruel Summer", "The Preacher Man", "Long Train Running", "More Than Physical", "I Heard A Rumour", "More More More", "Moving My Direction (Moto & Blanco Remix)" and "Help" tracks as a 2nd part segment from Bananarama...

A trick of the night is my favourite Bananarama track. I love especially the end.

[@Justjack_89]

Siobhan left in ‘88 and created Shakespears Sister. You will absolutely LOVE “Stay”.

[@highheartwellness]

Woohoo, you finally got back to Bananarama! I nearly jumped out of my seat when you said A Trick of the Night. My favorite track by them! (True Confessions album is peak Bananarama for me). It is indeed moody (and serious when you examine the subject matter) and those harmonies are golden. Love your reactions, and yes, you were right on with the first tracks, these ladies didn't take themselves to seriously, and often evoked the vibe of just stumbling into stardom

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!!

[@shannonbennett987]

This stuff defined a generation. It was all about fun. Best version ever.

[@andreassn5050]

I've never heard the last one before, but the chorus is My Mine's "Hypnotic Tango". An Italo-Disco classic from 1983.

[@Right_Direction_]

You kill me "well it's free, he can't complain about the service" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

😂😂😂

[@DanielRuyters]

Celebrating 40+ years of Bananarama! Still going strong, also their latest album is super. That last track Look on the Floor sounded a bit like Kylie to me. Great track btw.

[@Problembeing]

Hope you react to former Bananarama member, Siobhan Fahey's other chart topping band, Shakespears Sister. Their song 'Stay' remained number 1 in the UK for 8 weeks. Other hits included 'You're History', 'I Don't Care', 'Goodbye Cruel World', 'Hello (Turn Your Radio On)', 'Dirty Mind', 'Run Silent, Run Deep', 'Heroine', and 'Pulsatronic'.

[@lilywhitefi]

‘Stay’ is a great video to react to!

[@Problembeing]

@@lilywhitefi Yes! By the wonderful Sophie Muller :)

[@Joe-cz2zg]

I second that, “Stay” is a must go-to video to react to.

[@winnied87]

Look On The Floor is a jam. So nice and breezy.

[@Melb1]

You gotta get to their recent work on the album Masquerade! Classic Bananas 😊

[@JCWiley2300]

YESSSS!!!! These ladies are quite simply legendary, and vastly underappreciated. I feel like you really get the care and technical artistry that goes into their music, even if maybe they aren't like the greatest singers. Their personalities and melodic layering carry the day, FORTY YEARS into their career. I have suggestions for part 3: Last Thing On My Mind (1993), Love Don't Live Here (2010), Stuff Like That (2019), Masquerade (2021).

[@ingvarjensen1088]

Wow, that was a nice surprise. Can you guess how much else there's to discover their first video being from 1982, their most recent from 2022? Well, I'm looking forward to watching more 🤗

[@Mangeosaurus]

Absolutely love Bananarama. Their latest album is phenomenal.

[@COMEINTOMYWORLD]

Love the 'Nanas. So many, many hits. I heard a rumour you might you review more as I love, (your) truth and honesty. I Can't Help It, I Want You Back for more. x

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much! Also, the creativity of your comment is much appreciated. ❤️😂

[@mortenmagnus9382]

You are amazing! I would like you to react to Bananarama with "really saying something"(1982), "more than physical"(1986), "only your love"(1990) & "masquerade"(2022)

[@theKarstenR]

Fun reaction as always. 😀 Please be sure to include "More Than Physical" in the next episode. You'll love that bass line...and the video.

[@samuelrossmesa1430]

Yes! I agree.. "More Than Physical" and "I Can't Help It".

[@josephthomas3912]

"Na Na Hey HEY Kiss Him Goodbye" was originally a hit for a group called Steam. It went to # 1 in the U.S. in November 1969. Thanks for more of my girls. They have so much to explore. Try some of their 90's glamorous house tracks.

[@idanwillenchik3050]

Actually the Steam original topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks beginning December 6th 1969.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

After watching a few of your videos, I've noticed and admire your high level of enthusiasm, joy and positivity. It's a breath of fresh air really. You just seem to get and like the different eras and styles of music.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@lukeian6781]

Fantastic reaction video 👍

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much!

[@paulmason6474]

Hello Fabulous in white. They are still looking good in their 60’s. Smile for the camera.

[@HyperDaveUK]

Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye is proper 80s to me (I didn't even know it was a cover!)

[@hazellee9715]

Ahhhhh, my mum and dad bought me their greatest hits on tape, yep, showing my age 🤣 can’t beat Bananarama xx

[@mark-s]

Trick of the night a top favourite song from the ladies it was set in America and tells a story of male prostitutes deep lyrics but brilliant great selection with look on the floor this was out in the 00s ps have you seen preacher man from bananarama

[@mattpotter8725]

Great reactions!!! Loved Bananarama back in the day, hadn't even heard that last song, I knew they'd made a comeback having saw them looking great on breakfast TV a few years back. They just have a great sound, seem to just be having fun rather than taking themselves too seriously, despite being very good at what they do. These songs just make you feel good, and to be honest I expected more of their famous songs like Nathan Jones and Robert de Neiro's waiting, not some of these so there's definitely more to come from the girls!!! How about some more Steps as well while we're at it?

[@coachtomas]

I'm not sure if that was the original Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)... I'm sure others might know, but I think this is the most well known version at least. Bananarama were fun. You know when people say "oh this is so 80s" ? this band is the british gold standard band for that term. 😁I think the average young girl looked like them and identified with them. I mean, they were never the best singers or dancers. They just were a band that were fun in the 80s. They did eventually team up with Stock Aitken and Waterman productions and although I like quite a few of their songs, sometimes they were hit or miss kind of a thing. Not that I mind, early Bananarama is enough for me. Great reaction as per PMD. Funny and thoughtful. ❤❤ Oh one more thing, yes I know a whole day has passed since you started reading my comment lol but thanks for reacting to these lesser reacted-to artists.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching! ❤️😊

[@scotthooverphoto]

Yeah! So glad you did this episode with the girls- one of the best and always about fun and my go-to when im feeling down or need to just forget about the day. They keep going strong and hope they keep going on and on. Lifelong fan.

[@timgood3181]

Yes 🙌 I honestly believe it’s impossible to watch Bananarama vids and not have a good time. Hope you react to more!

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Interesting mix of choice's Still many greats to choose from such as: It Ain't What You Do...... Cruel Summer He Was Really Saying Something Hotline to Heaven The Wild Life Robert De Niro's Waiting I Can't Help It Nathan Jones Help Movin On ETC ETC

[@neondisco8635]

Haven't even watched this yet, but Bananarama +Look On The Floor is their best song since the 80s...... I'll relish ur opinion after I've watched.

[@tracytabb2882]

If u haven't already can u plz react to the pop group steps. Honestly sweetie u will love them plz 🥰🥰🥰

[@sonofthesea3298]

I have heard alot over the years how Bananarama is cheesy,but i always answered: DOH,the entire 80s was a cheese fest. But with Bananarama it works,they always had this image as looking like "everyday working girls" in the 80s. Not super glamorous compared to theyr fellow girlbands back then (or even boybands) There were alot of bands that took themselfs way too seriously compared to theese ladies. And they all still look stunning,no matter how much they dress down. Who am i trying to kid,still today they look amazing and i believe everyone are mothers by now. Well,it doesnt show on them. They could have all starred in American Pie as Stiflers Mom (Joking .......or am i?) 😏😆Whenever i had to sneak away from my obsession with Madonna Niki and Donna,then i had a tendency to crush on all 3 of them *Ahem*Okay,moving on!

[@donniehagy5125]

You should also try "Cruel Summer" and let us know if you noticed anything in that song! They're remake of "Venus" was also pretty good.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

I've already reacted to both of those 😊

[@idanwillenchik3050]

In the Shy Boy video the girls don't change clothes for three weeks......

[@thefowlyetti2]

Its a cover, not a sample. you sample beats, or sections of a song. performing someone elses song is a cover.

[@Pablo_sanz359]

A Trick Of The Night used to be my jam! I hope one day you will do a reaction to one of t he Bananarama, Siobhan Fahey's band, Shkespears Sister's videos. Sophie Muller directed most of them, and while their big hit, Stay and its video are great, I recommend I Don't Care, the follow up to Stay. The felf-aware playfulness of Bananarama lives on in Shakespears Sister.

[@Problembeing]

Well said!

[@gregoryreed4866]

And look on the floor and move in my direction we’re done with these chicks we’re 50+
