"I Heard a Rumour" is a 1987 song recorded by English girl group Bananarama, featured on their ''Wow!'' album. It was also featured in the film ''Disorderlies'' (starring The Fat Boys) and included on its soundtrack. "I Heard a Rumour" became one of Bananarama's biggest singles, hitting #14 in their native UK, and climbing to #4 in the U.S., #2 in Canada and #8 in New Zealand. It was also a hit in nightclubs, prompting a top-five placing on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. Songwriter and music producer Pete Waterman names "I Heard a Rumour" as one of his favourite songs. The chords, general structure and parts of the melody (mainly the bridge leading into the chorus) are the same as those of Michael Fortunati's 1986 hit "Give Me Up". The song is included in the PlayStation karaoke game SingStar Anthems. ==Music video== The music video, directed by Andy Morahan, is an expansion on the dress-up theme of Bananarama's "Venus". Group members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward are seen emulating various film stars, projected on screens behind them, by dressing up in various costumes, such as a cowgirl or Carmen Miranda. Bananarama's trademark silliness is interspersed throughout. At one point the group, dressed in French can-can dresses, bend over to 'moon' the camera and expose the letters W-O-W (a reference to their album title) on their rears. Bloopers, of the girls making mistakes in the dance routine, are intercut with other footage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Heard a Rumour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
