Shenanigans in the Eighties – Part 6
October 8, 2008Ah, the end draws near; it’s the penultimate part of my 80s mix CD, “Shenanigans in the Eighties“. I looked for a while for a video to go with this section and I was very tempted to go with the video for Martika’s cover version of Carole King’s “I Feel The Earth Move”, but her dancing in the video is far too cringeworthy, so I decided to go with a video from archetypal eighties girl group Bananarama:
(Witty caption not supplied)
This video, which is taken from some show called “What’s Up Doc”, features them performing two of their songs ‘live’ – the criminally underrated “Moving On” and the track that’s featured on this mix, “I Want You Back”. By the time of this performance they’d been reduced to a duo again, consisting of founder membes Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. Although many would suggest that the band’s best years as a pop act were during the eighties, they have attempted something of a comeback in recent years with a lot of new material, including an excellent single calle “Move In My Direction” which had some excellent club mixes.
