More women should go out there. Plenty do though and more of those that do should get the backing of distribution networks and record companies. There is a good crop but a lot of them take unfortunate pressures. Hats off to Missy Elliott as one that didn't get hammered down. And Siobhan's ex's ex Annie Lennox.
Marcella and Siobhan complement each other so well - you have Marcella who has more vocal talent and hits those beautiful high notes, but Siobhan brings a bit more stage presence and theatrics to go along with the lower notes/spoken word stuff.

There has only been around 4 or 5 artists who have ever sung live on topmof the pops .not because they could or couldn't etc it was the producers say..he famously gave them one take and if it didnt workthey mimed ...it just took too long for each artist tk set ul everything perform get it food enough in several takes to the edit so it was quicker to simply mime .

Now in a strange twist one of the artist who refused to mime and was given a chance and smashed it first time was vanilla ice ,another was Evanescence bring me back to life. Now I can't remember the others or weather Shakespeare sister are singing live or not as a good gave me this information years ago ...Raymond Green and he was the bbc,s set designer and dresser .then later at retirement ago used to do the bbc tours .
Agree. Siobhan really put the Bananarama phase behind her with this group and the difference is especially striking here. Love her ringlets and resolutely stoic attitude. So gothic in the true Victorian sense of the word. The lyrics are partly a homage to a 1922 poem by Edith Sitwell called Hornpipe. The poem and the lyrics include the word "Hottentot", which was recently in the news as it was given a trigger-warning for its use in Mary Poppins.

@gregmcfarnon1140 let's give you some music education since you seem to have none. It is a fact that Stay was the only one song to hit #1, and it was only in 3 countries, UK, Ireland, and Sweden. It only made it to #4 in the US. That is it, only one song period. Hence, a one hit wonder, undisputed fact.
@@GhostPepper233 Oh dear. Arrogance AND ignorance, a very unpleasant combo. As ever, people who tell others they're going to "educate" them are always the ones who need educating.

Siobhan is STILL my dream woman!
Yesssssssss
Me too. Sexy and bonkers.
Have to agree
Marcella Detroit's vocals are amazing.
Siobhans bristols are equally amazing!
No one is like these guys. So original in sound and style.
More women should go out there. Plenty do though and more of those that do should get the backing of distribution networks and record companies. There is a good crop but a lot of them take unfortunate pressures. Hats off to Missy Elliott as one that didn't get hammered down. And Siobhan's ex's ex Annie Lennox.
Adam and the Ants were like them but less keyboards.
I was listening to their songs in 1992 but never really appreciated how original and brilliant they are until just recently.
yeah, thats true but we all get it from somewhere, and there getting it from HAYISI FANTAYZEE. look up the video: John Wayne got big leggy.
Ffs...this was 1 of my fav episodes back then...feels mad to see it again!! Love these 2...still have this album...💙🦋💎🦋💙
The album was ace. All killer, no filler.
Siobhan lays down an amazing foundation but Marcella’s voice never fails to give me goosebumps
When Siobhan gives that crazy look it drives ppl wild
Marcella and Siobhan complement each other so well - you have Marcella who has more vocal talent and hits those beautiful high notes, but Siobhan brings a bit more stage presence and theatrics to go along with the lower notes/spoken word stuff.
Am so loving Shakespeare sisters alllll the way from Puerto Rico here to STAY a new Fan
It's Shakespears Sister, of course, I love it.
Girls you were (are) a great band. We were 6th formers, back then loving your music. So many memories.
what's 6 formers?
you wrote transformers wrong.
It’s a grade.

Love love love Shakeapears Sister.
And bring back Top of the Pops!!!
Fantastic song and remember this on TOTP
Damn, these ladies are very cool
31 years ago! Crazy
The music and the world was a better place back then.
no shit,,
Music's still good, just get your head out of the bucket marked "autotuned mainstream radio".
The 80s and 90s were special
Amen 🙏🏽
That distinctive guitar riff is fantastic, and I love the way they vocalise it during the song.
Talent, raw , real talent.
I love them both so much
They look and sound great!!!
Awesome performance!
We need music like this again
There's loads of it, just stop listening to mainstream pop crap.

Wtf, they sound amazing live! :))
Their first 2 albums where amazing! I often listen to them on vinyl, CD or Spotify 😍
Its wild that they didn`t make music in the 00`s in the emo scene. There music would have blowen up again.
Rocked it
I loved this when it came out and still do. Just realised how fit the drummer was too....
One of the best songs ever made!
Unless I'd looked it up I never would have realised she'd been in Bananarama, looks like a completely different person here.
She was my favourite bananarama

She also wrote there biggest hit stay with me .
I love Siobhan Fahey! Great record, "I Don't Care."
the guitarist with the feather trimmed coat is feeling his Mick Ronson fantasy :D
I remember this song in the 1991 or 1992 American hit parade that was broadcast on the radio. I liked it then and now too.
I remember buying the demo CD then the Album back then, still takes me back.. Happy Days.
Legendary...in every way 🖤
Love these two
Ahhh memories.
the best song ever,,, thus is the only song that gets me dancing and i don't dance
Flawlessly beautiful sounding duo, love them ❤
Great memories. Toronto.
Excellent
I’m getting a Pretenders vibe here… sounds like “Don’t get me wrong” .. especially the drums
Perfect!! ❤️❤️❤️
YES!!!
Props for the live vocals though.
Happy days.
Saw them live at the Old Kentish Town Forum T and C. I actually wasn't a fan but they were brilliant live.
Cool!!!
These 2 should have done the songs for The Nightmare before Christmas
Good looking Girls!!
Bananarama got together on the grounds they all dressed like 'freaks'. If only Siobhan knew what would happen next !
🖤
From Russia with Love!

Love your vocals and lyrics dearly but why don’t you release instrumentals of your songs!!
I'd love official instrumentals. I have made some unofficial ones on my channel.

you alright mate
Stay was the only song that was good. One hit wonder band.
You are wrong. Hello Turn Your Radio On was a great song.
@ccgrey8731 "Stay" was the band first and only one number 1 hit song so I rest my case, they still only a one hit wonder.
