| IT AIN'T WHAT YOU DO |
| After the release of AIE A MWANA, the girls were noticed by Terry Hall of 'Specials' fame. After seeing their picture in a magazine, he recruited them to sing backing vocals on the cover version of AIN'T WHAT YOU DO for his new band 'Fun Boy Three'. Although only singing backing vocals, the girls feature heavily on the single and in the video, almost pushing the boys out of the picture. The single was a big success and boosted the 'Nanas careers. Not soon after, the Fun Boy Three were lending their backing vocals for a 'Nana single! |

| THE VIDEO Shows the members of the Fun Boy Three and Bananarama having some sleeping issues and deciding to meet outside on a hill and play instruments. In a recent interview on LK Today, Sara claimed "I can't believe you showed a clip from that video, I'm in a dressing gown and boots for God's sake". XD |
