Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen a theme that seems apt for Boxing Day: ANGER/ FRUSTRATION/ FURIOUS/ IRRITATED/ MAD/ PROVOKED/ REVENGE
Just kidding! I was surprised at how difficult I found this song. I had a song in mind, that perhaps conveyed the spirit behind those words, but it did not contain any of them. But then I delved back into the archives of music from my childhood – and Bananarama came up!
This Bananarama track is a cover of a song by Shocking Blue, originally released way back in 1969. In 1986, Bananarama released their dance version, and it reached Number One in the music charts of six countries, including the USA.
I still find the original video (at the end of this post) a bit much, but I love the track, and it is the perfect dance around your living room in your pyjamas kind of music.
