’80s Music Video Thursday: Y Kant Bananarama Rap?!
You know the drill by now. But if not: Welcome to ’80s Music Video Thursday, where we post gems from the Golden Age of music video clips. As always, suggestions for next week are welcome in the comments.
“I Heard a Rumor” by Bananarama, submitted by QuoteMan.
Some of the fashion in this video makes Lady GaGa look like a jeans-and-t-shirt gal. Quality ’80s “what were they thinking” to be found here. Personally, I can’t listen to Bananarama without thinking of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders’ parody of the band called “Lananeeneenoonoo.”
“Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do) by Wham, submitted by uffda.
I imagine that they were going for “cool.” But it mostly just looks like Grease.
“The Big Picture” by Y Kant Tori Read, submitted by Leven:
Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly (well, with as much pride as I can muster for even knowing about this video) present Y Kant Tori Read’s lone single and music video: The Big Picture.
Wow. Ms. Amos certainly has…evolved…artistically since the ’80s, has she not?
A few more from the past:
’80s Music Video Thursday: Sunglasses at Night?! But It’s So Dark!
’80s Music Video Thursday: Candy Coated Sugar Sweetness
’80s Music Video Thursday: Walk, Don’t Run, Like an Egyptian
Last time I checked… men weren’t supposed to wear capri pants and to top it with a leather jacket nonetheless.
Obviously, you’re not from the 80s.

Can I say It? GAY?!

I wanted to post this again; it’s a pretty weird video. I mean, really?! Cereal in the middle of nowhere?!
One of my favorites! Thanks for posting!
LOL, I didnt realize Tori Amos was from Y Kant Tori Read. Confirmed the moment I seen this vid tho, man has her style changed.
Hmmm…. Y Kant Banannaramma Rap? Sounds like something you’d find at KFC. But maybe that’s just me…
COME ON PEOPLE! Let’s get some suggestions!
I freaking love Y Kant Tori Read. I don’t care what anyone says….even Tori. Lol.
But at least she had a kickass drummer in her band – a young Matt Sorum.
Suggestions? Total Eclipse of the Heart, Land Downunder, Centerfold, Rapture
…well it’s a start
