Okay but aside from Siobhan “Screaming”, Jacquie O being played by Mariama of the Honeyz is kinda hilarious.
Poor Jacquie. Will she ever get her due I wonder.

The layers to this.
I'm captivated by your Honeyz
Jacquie has already said her life is complete with Kathy Burke having played her, so I’m sure she won’t care about a serial girlgroup stand–in.

I wonder what they were filming a month ago? Looks like an interview - but for what?

Fourth re-record of Cruel Summer is on its way.
Watched this last night and very much enjoyed. Cruel Summer was the song that arguably gave them staying power and an clear identity. Solidified months later by Robert De Niro's Waiting too.

Am I late to the party or did we know that Exotica has vanished from Apple Music and Spotify?
Not that anything of value was lost.

If is a favourite for sure. I always think they should give it another stab.
I haven’t seen it listed since In Stereo’s final single release honestly.
40 years of perhaps their most loved song?? Nice new lyric video.
In the US, “Cruel Summer” for Bananarama is like “Kids In America” to Kim Wilde, their most iconic original hit (then you have “Venus” / “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” for their most known cover hit).
I would say their top 5 most well known is arguably as follows:
Cruel Summer
Robert De Niro's Waiting
Venus
I Heard A Rumour
Love In The First Degree
Cruel Summer
Robert De Niro's Waiting
Venus
I Heard A Rumour
Love In The First Degree
The story of the how the song came to be has changed (unless I'm remembering wrong...)
Didn't Siobhan say for years that she wrote the song when Keren and Sara went on holiday without her and she was left alone and wrote the lyrics.
Now we have a new K+S version of the story?
