| ROBERT DE NIRO'S WAITING |
| This is Bananarama's biggest selling UK single to date, and at a three-way tie position for their highest charting single, going in at number three. Still played on music channels today, the song was a huge hit, and is one of the girls best known songs. It was also re-recorded for EXOTICA in 2001. After the release, the girls got to meet Robert De Niro, in which Siobhan commented he looked like 'Benny from Crossroads' with his bobble hat. |

| THE VIDEO It does exactly what it says on the tin. The video features a De Niro look-alike who is chasing after the girls, but it turns out that he was just trying to deliver them their pizzas. The video does include the girls looking very glam though, with some great cinematography at work. WATCH OUT! For the girls ridiculously on-cue laughing at the end of the video! =D |
