#Bananarama
I'll take the one on the far left. Thank You. No need to wrap it just send it
it's the right one for me 🤣
I’ll have all of them ❤
@@mickrozycki451 Lol no one in the comments seem to understand he's talking about the male dancers in the back
@@michaeljohndennis2231 They are all old today, or dead
@@debchancy2066
They was dead at this time look at them
The dancer on the left 😎
🔥🔥🔥
I wonder how is he doing now?
@@KW-sm2rtgood question. Probably looking as sexy as ever
Middle one for me 😍
Yes... absolutely yes. I was focused the entire time on him.
They are so good looking!
The singers are good too.
Sexy babes, with bush!
And it's refreshing that they are singing live without lip-synching nor auto-tune.
Yes, those were the days when people cared about fitness and when fatness wasn't seen as something to be "proud" of,
@@timward3116 Get a grip
the dancer on the left 👌
All of them now pushing or over 60 years old. We were young once. Just a blink of an eye and you are old and then poof--gone!
I still would 😂
I'm sure the dancers are also going down in a poof of smoke.
The video quality of this is outstanding.
First thing I thought.
@@MonarC27818 480p done right!
Countdown was a music programme in the Netherlands. This is their channel and can post digitalised versions of the original recordings.
I could they were lip-syncing
I love how the sexy guys were so in sync with the girls with all the moves. Awesome song & the guys 💪🏻 Oh Yea!
there were girls in this ?
@@TheJerbolt2Oh! I meant in sync with the Pointer Sisters. Sorry!
Bruno from Strictly is the middle dancer.
@@Muswell So it is! I heard him claim that Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" video from 1983 was his last dancing job.
Damn... that first background dancer on the left that has a little bit of chest hair going on sure could do some Bananarama with me...
He is a director now.
This is the most 80's thing I've ever seen 😂
This not the true 80s. This is 80s trash. There were much better things in the 80s.
@@Aysgarth1
Why trash ?
@@Kokomoloisif Do you really have to ask? Just listen to it!
Yes it was wonderful and most who lived through those times know this
@@Aysgarth1 not true 80's? This thing that was literally made in the 80's? There's no such thing as true or false 80's unless it was made to look like the 80's in another decade. But yes it is trash 😂
They always had the hottest backup dancers!
Crowd’s dead
You got that right!!!!
I love the backup dancers! They are handsome and good shaped sexy body
And GAY.
@@vulcan2882 really???
@@immaculate86 ... blind people can see they're gay.
Thank god
shame those women are constant blocking the vieuw.
Love the choreography and love the backup dancers.
Now that you mentioned the guy dancers in the back, wasn't the middle guy, Bruno Tonioli, a judge on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
@@lindahandley5267Haha! I was just thinking that…🤣👍
@@lindahandley5267 Yes, it's definitely Bruno. He's also in Elton John's video to 'I'm Still Standing'.
very hot guy on the left side with HAIRY CHEST....... im dying
@@andiamo24 Every part of their bodies move in a different direction! 😁
There was a girl group on stage??😁😁😁
not really, you're right, bro!
The guys are hot 🔥
Good song! It's amazing to see how far the Bananarama girls have come since their early days, when they were background singers for Fun Boy Three. Bruno Tonioli (of Dancing With The Stars fame) appears to have choreographed this dance routine, as it bears his distinctive touch. That is also him in the back row there.
I had no idea that was him in the back ground ha hah ah
He was quite the spunk in the 80s.
They were never the 'background singers' for FB3. They made two records together.
Wow ! 👌🏾
which one is he?
Nobody's looking at the girls.
Im looking at da girls especially keren wood ward at the left side .
😂👍
Background dancers are hot
Hot 🥵 Gays Back up Dancers
The oiled-up eye candy in the background is so successful in distracting from the ladies that I identified a mistake from the guy in the middle at 1:58. He forgot to do the spinning arm motion and skipped ahead. 😅
Yea and he’s Bruno from dwts.
Everyone's talking about Bruno in the middle but it's Baillie Walsh on the left for me my God is he smokin' in this. He's had an even more prolific career than Bruno. He was the director of Abba's Voyage show.
The dancer on the left....omg. He's is unbelievably hot!!!!
Actually, the one on the right has the best physique!
Russell Crowe?
@@andrewcusack9046 Ha....not. But I have to find out his name and see how's he's aged!
They are all old men and women today or possibly dead.
@@silverstarflite135Baillie Walsh
I'm loving Tonioli's slightly dispassionate _macho-man_ dancing
I *thought* that looked like him!
This was so Totally Awesome!!! The 80's Rocked...These Girls Were Just So Awesome...This Performance defined The 80's!!!
@@sharksport01 Fixed, Thanks Have A Nice Life DB!!!
Bruno Tonioli is the backing dancer in the middle
Is it? I thought that was him
I come bcuz of the thumbnail 🤤
Great song, but really strange how the audience didn't respond or dance to it all?
Maybe the audience were transfixed by their beauty 😁
@@raywright8226 or the guys bulges
Because, they’re were doing playback
Maybe the audience like 99% of the public were sick to death of stock aitkin n Waterman who stole a living off one rhythm producing anyone n everyone from nobodies to has-beens 🫣....no one was safe every song they produced sounded the same ! ....enter the 12" single and soap star pop idol sampling etc etc and the death of vinyl 😢....awful
@@usauser3163 So you don't like them then? 😆😂
I applaud their choice of a hairy back-up dancer.
Yes , how nice to see a handsome guy with actual hair on his body , hate all this shaving and waxing, yuk !
Still a banger of a track 👍
Didn't realize the guy in the middle is Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the stars. He choreographed their videos.
All those back up dancers were sleeping together 100% guarantee
I bet they were too! They were hotties.
i'm on board with that!
The one on the right was Bruno's boyfriend at the time, and the one on the left was a friend, so you're probably not wrong.
No way. They are all bottoms
Well Sarah the girl in the middle was in a relationship with one of the dancers
I blast this tune in the shower when I want to wake up and feel joy.
Long live the best decade in human history: 1980’s
What do the neighbors say?
@@kendallevans4079
🔊 “….WHAT?”
@@kendallevans4079
Well, I heard a rumour😊
Bet you are gay!
Nope buddy...the 70s were much better...by far....👍👍👍👍🇸🇻
I'd forgotten about this track. It's such fun. Cant believe the audience just stood there like wooden planks and didn't dance. How boring. Love the moves with this song.
it's a literal copy of give me up / by babe or michael fortunati.
It’s because it’s in the studio and it’s actually not loud at all. Also Australian audiences were more into pub rock. This fluff coming out from the UK was not cool 😂
@@bsways this is from a Dutch show called Countdown, not the Australian version with Molly.
@@thingamajacky Ah K. Yeah thought was the Aussie one
Oh hello young Bruno Tonioli (Fomer Strictly Come Dancing UK judge)dancing behind the lovely Sara☕️😂
Cute backup dancers
You know it's 1987 when the male dancers haven't shaved off all their body hair.
Hot!
The Stock, Aitkin & Waterman reign.
Indeed - That sound is unmistakable! 😀
I have all their albums and singles. Love the S.A.W. sound. Don't want guitar music in my collection, ha, ha, ha.
This song was musically stolen/plagiarised from "Give Me Up" by Michael Fortunati. Only the lyrics are original.
Хорошие продюсеры диско музыки!
You just can’t get sick if their tunes. Even after 40 years.
Three Gorgeous singers, from my Era. I was 22 when bananarama belted out this terrific hit in (1987), very nostalgic sound to this song, I LOVE BANANARAMA!!💙💙💙👏👍👍🐐...
I was 6 in most of 87. Grew up listening to them. Their songs were household names here in PH 🇵🇭
@@alice_agogoI was 5 and dancing to their hits in our beauty parlor in QC. Good times. 😆
So was I!!
They ruled the airwaves in 87 I was 5 back then here in cebu I've heard this song mostly in PUJ'S
This is so gay and I love it 😊
You know all those background dancers retired to the same hotel room after this lmao
I get it, classic 😅!
Keren Woodward was the original "Posh Spice".
I love that girls band, especially Keren !
Wow. Bruno was F-ing hot!
OHMYGOD the dancer on the left, he’s just soooo perfectly hot.
Pure pop fluff…loved it then and still do in 2023!!
Ooohhhh hot guys in the background there
The choreo will serve until the end of time
I like the arm movement dancing.
Guys in the 80s are so sexy. The sweaty look, tanned skin, mild hairy chest is everything! ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥
The tags all over the video spoils the viewing pleasure. Why bother
Im fhere for the backup dancers
Is the middle dancer Bruno Tonioli?
So much fun…. Do you see Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the Stars? He’s also in Elton John’s video I’m Still Standing…. So much fun watching these old videos.
off to track that down!
I love this song and 80s forever Who agree with me? ❤❤❤
I fully agree!
I heard a rumour....that the 80's was the GREATEST time to be alive!! 🤩🤩
My ears go to the song but my eyes go to the dancers!
this is possibly the best VHS restoration i have seen on TH-cam!!!
why is the crowd just standing there watching them LMAOO
They came to see a show not be a show.
Is that dancer in the middle Bruno Tonioli?
I love Siobahn❤
Keren - Sexiest lady of the 80's 90s and now too!
Bananarama is 1 of the BEST 👍 all time Girl group. Their songs become such a classic. I❤ it 😘
A young Bruno😂
Bruno Tonioli , in the middle ! , but the dancer to the left by far the best 🔥🔥🔥
That's Bruno?!?
Thought that was him, yes! This'd be the same time he appeared in the film "Absolute Beginners" in nothing but tight black underwear 😝
Omg the one of the left is so beefy.❤😋
yes, my favorite was on the left too 🐻
I came here specifically to say how hot that guy was.
Increíble calidad del video para el año en que se filmó ...love Bananarama
the timeless 80,s are back 2023
If my my memory serves me well Siobhan was pregnant during this period of time,hence the maternity type dress to cover her bump!! Bruno looks so young...!!
Wactched Siobhan Hunter on 1987's night shift nurses...hahaha...🤣🤣
The 80s forever young
Bruno Tolli Middle male dancer and choreographer
Back when people was pretty.. natural.
Love to see all three gay dancers, they are so fabolous...!
Siobhan - always the coolest, best dancer, best dressed, hippest, funnest, prettiest.....and best name!
Enamorado😅😅.
Agreed.
I agree... just about her name ;)
❤BANANARAMA WOW 👌 REMINDS ME OF GAY LGBT PRIDE 🏳️🌈 🌈
Omg .. I still have a mad crush on Keren
🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱💞🌱
Greetings from Ireland 🎉
im not gay... but now im gay.....(left)
Was I the only one who constantly confused the Go-Gos', The Bangles', an Bananarama's songs back then? 😅
Yo tengo esta actuación y el programa count down de music box del verano del 87 en VHS !!
Pásalo a MP4 y publícalo Porf 🎉
Somebody's hot granddad now 🥰
Brunette 🍌 🐏 a was really cute 🥰
Yes she was the most attractive 😍♥️
They were terrible but I loved them haha . If this was today the girls would be almost naked and the guys on steroids.
crowd clearly a bunch of haters
Karen wow she could turn Elton John straight just by smiling at him 😊
I think the appearance of hot sexy dancer on the left side with oily body hair makes this CountDown TV version become more popular than the original music video. I've found so many comments about him. Yeah, honestly I can't take my eyes off him too, even I'm a man, LOL. 😂😂
The male dancer's name is Baillie Walsh, and he is a movie director now.
Great memories, Great Ladies.. Still looking awesome.. Still Rocks
Why Crowd is so dead ?
Dancer in the middle is Bruno Tonioli who was a judge in Strictly Come Dancing and you will also see him in Elton Johns video for I'm Still Standing filmed in, I think, Cannes.
Nice quality
For me any of the three will do. And you know which three I mean! 😂
From the Album "Wow! (1987)
Great to see such fantastic video quality and a fab performance by the girls. Sara was really enjoying herself, check 1:53 for a cute moment. Keren also lights up for the camera. But its interesting how Sib ignores the camera completely.
Keren was having the most fun to me. I like how she taps her background dancer as he walks past her. I don't think Sib was crazy about the pop direction they were heading in, and maybe that's reflected here.
Pre recorded thin voices. Basically more of a product than actual form of art.
They can’t sing live. It is manufactured pop.
Everything about this is sad. 🫤😬
Whg? Is it because it is proper music and they are dressed properly unlike today's music and artists or do you mean because the 80's was the best decade and now everything is crap
Where are those backing dancers now?
The audience just standing there not dancing, clapping, having a good time...just doing nothing...looking like they would rather be elsewhere...oh wait they did clap at the end. 🙄
Has to be surely be in the running for the worst crowd ever?🤔😂
Love them. FABULOUS.
I'm glad others have confirmed that's Bruno Tonioli behind sara
My eyes should be dry from all this staring but something was preventing it..
Would have loved to live this era, I'm from 96' but my heart belongs to the 80's music era
It really wasn’t that great. I was there. The 60s and 70s the music and fashion was way better.
The Music was great, the live gigs were great, alcohol prices were shockingly cheap compared to today, but the era itself sucked gigantic balls. That being said, it’s amazing looking back how for a society with so little (again - compared to now), we managed to make every moment count. While the digital age has pushed us all forward in many ways, I think many of us from that time would take those negative aspects over modern culture’s over-reliability on tech any day given the opportunity (for one: no bloody phones at live shows, just being in the moment and savouring it was a very different experience).
Now, due to everything being instantly available everywhere all at once, there’s no surprise anymore. While that’s great [and arguably vital for things like News and global events], the way Entertainment is consumed has definitely changed and largely suffered because of it. I think that’s why Artists like Beyoncé have tried to resurrect a little of that, understanding that anticipation and excitement are powerful tools and by harnessing the power of the unexpected they can make a much greater impact with their art and output.
Sure, it’s kinda great that the playing field has been levelled now and every and anyone can be a star (well, maybe some - and only in their own minds, sure) but the era of Superstars was truly something else and very difficult to convey to a generation who’ve never known any other way of consuming Music other than instantly, on demand.
Rightly or wrongly, people like Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna (all of whom were born in the same year which I always found kinda wild in and of itself…) were revered like Demi-Gods in the 80’s. Truly, they were Titans and then some. It’s kinda sad there are so few Artists now I can think of who even tap into that alluring mystique. I’m not even a big Beyoncé fan, but I respect the hell out of her for understanding all of that stuff and constantly trying to bring as much of that same magic to her own fan base. It really matters.
I'm from 80 Igrew up with this music but the 90s trump 80s
The back-up dancers is cool and so feminine
Like si entraste por el chico de pelo en pecho
Three beautiful British ladies💋
I born in ‘81. This song was part of my childhood during the late 80s. I’m so glad I got to experience most of it. I always thought the brunette was the best looking of the three. This song was in the movie Disorderlies starring The Fat Boys.
Same. From 80
Bruno Toniolio in the middle behind the girls !!!
I had 17 years old, very best time, very best music.
