Keep up the 80's stuff! I love it! Does anyone remember Loverboy, the Psychedelic Furs, Bonnie Tyler, and Flock of Seagulls? Cinderella, Warrant, Slaughter? I love 80's music. Seems like it was a more innocent time.

How odd for all three to have a Bad Hair Day at the same time!

I though "Venus was their name"....

Did you know they were original members of the obscure band "Fun Boy Three"?

I feel a Bananarama reunion tour coming up any day now...

Ok, I admit it. I'm a fan of Siobhan Fahey. I didn't listen to much Bananarama, but I was hooked on Shakespears Sister for awhile. Fahey formed that band with Marcella Detroit after she left Bananarama. Yes...some more useless information taking up space in my brain.

I always secretly wanted to be a Bananarama member.

Pete, most of us WERE more innocent in the early 80's.

But, of course, in the late 70's/early 80's we were all nostalgic for the 1950s. Remember them? With the same words, too -- more innocent times...

I was their fourth member until I gave it up for blogging.

Makes me think overalls!

Did anyone notice that they couldn't sing for beans? I don't think a one of them could hold a tune. It might have been that, or it might have been something less conspicuous, but I truly couldn't stand that band!
