Bananarama mounted by every Mail this Sunday!

And thats a lot of sore heads on Monday morning if you know worra mean folks....so the Mail On Sunday has decided that what every reactionary, narrow minded, fascist home in this country needs is a Bananarama CD...nice...as long as they load it up with lots of the golden Stock Aitken Waterman years toss then i think Mr & Mrs Middle England will appreciate a sound which is more or less "sung" by the enslaved trio in the key of cash but was only ever music to the ears of a few bank managers...the fact that most of the CDs will end up in a bin is not good news either cos theres actually bound to be decent stuff on there...
I loved Bananarama..."Aint What You Do", "Really Saying Something", "Cruel Summer", god there was loads o' goodies...it didnt seem to matter that they couldnt sing, couldnt harmonise, could barely, for frig sake, stand UP, it was just good bloody FUN..."Aint What You Do" entered the chart the same week "Town Called Malice" entered at No.1, oh to be back in the good ol days...it was a million years from Stock Aitken and f**king Waterman...the British Motown my big fat arse..."Aint No Mountain High Enough" versus "I Should Be So Lucky"? "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" versus ANYTHING by Sinitta, Hazell Dean, Sonia, Princess, blah blah de friggin blah...they might have churned them out relentlessly but lets face it they forgot to write the f**king songs first...
I'll give them Divine "You Think Youre A Man" which they didnt write anyway, Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Round" which they didnt write either, little Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" and ok smiley Kylie's "Better The Devil You Know" but it's hardly a legacy...it's hardly one half of a friggin greatest hits album...
I hope the nanas fleeced the Mail for half a million like Princey....now, Prince mounted on every Mail that Sunday...thats not a lotta sore heads, that was just one baaaaaad ass!!
