Biography

Bananarama was formed in London in 1981 by childhood friends [a=Keren Woodward] and [a=Sarah Dallin] and their friend [a=Siobhan Fahey]. After a debut single produced by former [a=Sex Pistols] member [a=Paul Cook] (reaching #92), they teamed up with ex [a=Specials] member [a=Terry Hall]'s new band, [a=Fun Boy Three]. "It Ain't What You Do", released in February 1982 entered the UK charts at number 4. International success came with their self-titled second album produced by [a=Tony Swain] and [a=Steve Jolley] and the monster hit single "Cruel Summer". In 1986, the women teamed up with UK dance music super-producers [a20942] and achieved number one all around the world, including the US, with their cover of the [a=Shocking Blue]'s classic "Venus". Siobhan decided to leave the trio to form [a=Shakespear's Sister] in 1988. She was replaced by [a=Jacquie O'Sullivan] who had appeared with the original Bananarama line-up in the [a=Eurythmics] video for "Who's That Girl", back in June 1983. In the same year, the band was named by the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful female group in pop history, beating [a=Supremes]. They celebrated by releasing a SAW-produced version of the Supremes' "Nathan Jones". Jacquie left in late 1991. Sara and Keren have since continued as a duo. Following a one-off reunion recording of [a=ABBA]'s "Waterloo" with Siobhan in April 1998 for Channel 4's "Eurotrash" TV series hosted by [a=Jean Paul Gaultier], the duo returned in 2001 with their eighth studio album, [i]Exotica[/i]. In February 2002, Bananarama celebrated their 20th anniversary, joined on-stage by Siobhan. Their 2005 club hit "Move In My Direction" is their first UK single release since 1993. Their 2005 album "Drama" was followed in 2009 with the album "Viva". Siobhan temporarily rejoined Bananarama in 2017 for a one-off tour across UK and North America between November 2017 and August 2018. In 2019, Sara and Keren released their sixth album as a duo, to critical and fan acclaim. They released their joint-autobiography "Really Saying Something" in 2020. 2022 marks Bananarama's official 40th anniversary, which they celebrated by releasing their seventh album as a duo - and twelfth studio album overall - "Masquerade", which has received universally excellent reviews.

LYRICS

You broke my heart
When you walked away
You tell me you made a mistake
So you're back to bother me
You think that you're just what I need
Well baby let me tell you that you're wrong

(chorus)
Baby don't you treat me this way
I'm sick and tired of you
And everything that you say
And everything you do
Get out of my face
Because you're crazy

I need a lover who treats me right
Not one who's cold as ice
Had your chance, but now it's gone
Baby it's time to move on
You think that I still want you but you're wrong

(chorus x 2)

Don't come back I don't wannasee you
Don't come back cause I don't need you
Must be mad to think I believe you now
Don't come back cause I don't need you
Don't come back I don't wanna see you now

(chorus x 2)

Get off my back. get off my back. get off my back.
(x 2)
