About The Record:

In 1982, the British girl group Bananarama recorded a cover version of Really Sayin' Somethin' and released it as the first single from their debut album Deep Sea Skiving. Providing background vocals is Fun Boy Three, a male vocal trio who had a hit with Bananarama earlier in the year with another cover, T'ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It). Really Sayin' Somethin' became the second consecutive top-five hit for both Bananarama and Fun Boy Three, peaking at number five in the UK singles chart. It also received heavy play on the then-young MTV network in America. It also became Bananarama's first single to chart in America but only became a minor hit peaking at no. 108.
