    This was the song of the summer of 1983 and it was a fact that was a very hot cruel summer especially here in NY where they filmed this music video I still can't believe this song is 40 years old where did the years go

    it was in the karate kid soundtrack and it was played in the movie.

    Tasha is totally right. I grew up with this song. I was played all the time on the radio and on TV when videos were popular on TV in the 80s. This song came out one year before Madonna hit it really big with her second album LIKE A VIRGIN in 1984.

Oh, those times of great music were awesome and the MANY more of eclectic styles during those times that set the stage leading into the 90s. This is just ONE song of part of the regular mix of other great artists that was great to listen to on the air waves (too many to list!). What a great time and memory

    Bananarama did their own writing, their own concept for videos etc. they retained total control of their music. Banana ram were pop but they were also part of the British ska scene. This was considered alternative at the time and not mainstream until the sing blew up.

    Bananarama started 1980 and had hits in the UK, US, Australia, Canada and Europe before Madonna. Ace Of Base did a cover on this and it provided them with a hit as well.
    T should be put on a crash course of who sampled who, including Will Smith. 😉 There are plenty of videos available for that purpose I think. Sadly today people see and or hear things in videos that haven't even crossed to minds of the creators. It started with the PMRC in the 80's and has gotten way over the top nowadays. You can't write a thing without someone complaining that it won't be socially or culturally acceptable to use the expression.

    Loved Bananarama - so much fun! They had a lot of hits and I believe they started out going to fashion school if I'm remembering right. They had Madonna like hair - they were contemporary with Madonna. Madonna might have been on the scene a little bit before them, but they were all at the same time basically. Madonna was a little more risque for the early and mid-80's, but everyone had their own thing - Cindy Lauper and Billy Idol did songs about pleasuring oneself, so there's that. Not everything was wholesome ;)

    Listen to Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield and I wear my sunglasses at night by Corey Hart. Really great songs.
