"Really saying something" - Bananarama and Fun Boy Three
They made a perfectly decent showing, and it got completely lost in the crowd shuffle. Someone spoke last week about Bananarama being a bit shambolic, and *this* is why we love them.

"It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it" - Fun Boy Three and Bananarama
The Fun Boy Three drop in to plug their spot on "Round table", Radio 1's singles review show. That's after Newsbeat at 5.45 tomorrow.
Their video shows the things you can do in the London subways...
The groups had been in the studio two weeks earlier, the Nanas had been working on their dance routine.

The Fun Boy Three, The Fun Boy Three, 1982 on Chrysalis
The Fun Boy Three (Terry Hall, Neville Staple, and Lynval Golding) were a spin-off / outgrowth of The Specials. This was their debut, self-titled album with guests Bananarama on four tracks, including a cover of “It Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do it),”
Also features “The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)” which I love. The album cover back side presents the credits like a movie poster for a film shot in glorious stereo FunboyScope: “Gasp, Wonder, and Thrill to the Sound of the 80s.”
There’s a great BBC documentary—2 Tone The Sound of Coventry—which features lots of interviews with Hall and Staples, though it is more focused on The Specials.
My copy—via A1 records in NYC—is an early 80s Terre Haute pressing which was sealed, with the original hype sticker.

Zoo - and a special guest troupe of Moroccan tumblers - do their gymnastics to "Big fun" by Kool and the Gang.
"Summertime" - The Fun Boy Three
Their take on George and Ira Gershwin's jazz standard. Is it only a year since "Ghost town"? So much has changed for Terry and the band.

Song of the Day - No 495
FUN BOY THREE - THE TUNNEL OF LOVE
Released in 1983, "The Tunnel of Love" is a pop gem with melancholic undertones. It was the second single from Fun Boy Three's acclaimed album 'Waiting'. The song's bittersweet lyrics and catchy melody helped solidify the band's reputation as masters of sophisticated new wave.
