Get out your Aqua Net and tease up that hair.
Put on your Izod alligator polo and flip the collar all the
way up.
It’s time for Flashback Fridays.
Since the summer has been unseasonably hot in many areas of
the United States
Remember this group? They had so many hits throughout the
80s: Venus (which is now used as the tune for the Gillette razor commercial,
though the song did not originally belong to Bananarama); I Heard a Rumour; and
this one…CRUEL SUMMER.
There’s a little bit of Madonna and Boy George action
happening in the video. Don’t you think? Also, is the guy in the hat supposed to look like Boss Hog from the Dukes of Hazzard? Hmmm...food for thought.
It is indeed a cruel summer so far. Thanks for taking me back...Bananarama, gotta love 'em!
ReplyDeleteI'll have that song in my head for a while but it was worth it to go back to that time for a spell.
ReplyDeleteI love this song. I also adored their hair and makeup back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI loved Venus. Summer would probably be less cruel if they weren't wearing so much stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a band! This summer in the UK is cruel for the opposite reason. Rain and floods.
ReplyDeletehaha, i loved that venus one--i wished they hadn't put it in that commercial though!
ReplyDeleteThat got me up and moving! Loved this flashback.
