Reacting to Bananarama’s “Venus” | The Ultimate 80s Girl Power Anthem

In this episode, Bob Gringobingo dives into “Venus” by Bananarama — the 1986 synth-pop powerhouse that turned a 60s rock tune into a dancefloor ritual. Expect leather, lightning, and a heroic amount of hair spray.

From the fog machines to the gold body paint, this video has everything: mythological chaos, 80s glamour, and that iconic chorus that’s been living rent-free in everyone’s head for decades.

Watch along as Bob dissects the drama, questions the choreography, and reluctantly admits — yeah, she’s got it.
