"I Heard a Rumour" is a 1987 Dance-pop song recorded by English girl group … Read Full Bio ↴"I Heard a Rumour" is a 1987 Dance-pop 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 on the UK Singles Chart, and climbing to #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100., #2 in Canada and #8 in New Zealand. It was also a hit in nightclubs, prompting a top-five placing on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. Songwriter and music producer Pete Waterman names "I Heard A Rumour" as one of his favourite songs. The chords and general structure 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.

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.

I Heard a Rumour
Bananarama Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who needs friends who never show
I'll tell you what you want to know
I could have saved a broken heart
If I'd found out long ago

I'm just thinking about
Those lonely nights
When I waited for your call

'Til I found out
All my friends were right (ooh, ooh)
I didn't know you at all

I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it
I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
Yes I did, boy, ooh, ooh, ooh

Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance
Baby, I'm too afraid

So you realize what hurt you made
And the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget
It's never gonna be the same

I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bananarama's song "I Heard a Rumour" tell the story of a woman who finds out that her significant other has been unfaithful. She reflects on the lonely nights she spent waiting for his call and the advice that her friends had given her about him. She had been clueless about his unfaithfulness and would have been able to save herself from heartbreak had she known earlier. Rumors of his broken heart bring back memories of the pain he has caused her. Even though she now knows the truth, she is not sure if she can forgive him or forget his betrayal.

The lyrics can be interpreted as a warning against blindly trusting a partner and not heeding the advice of friends. The song's catchy beat and sing-along lyrics make it an anthem of the 80s dancefloor. The harmonious vocals of the band blend perfectly with the electronic beat and catchy melody. It is an upbeat song with a touch of sadness in the lyrics and is reflective of the band's style.

Line by Line Meaning

Who needs friends who never show
I don't need friends who don't show up for me

I'll tell you what you want to know
I'll reveal the truth to you

I could have saved a broken heart
I could have prevented heartbreak

If I'd found out long ago
If I had known earlier

I'm just thinking about
I am reminiscing about

Those lonely nights
The nights I spent alone

When I waited for your call
When I waited for you to contact me

'Til I found out
Until I discovered

All my friends were right (ooh, ooh)
My friends were telling the truth

I didn't know you at all
I didn't truly know who you were

I heard a rumour
I received some gossip

They say you got a broken heart
They claim your heart is broken

Yes I did, boy, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yes, I heard the rumour

Now it seems they're telling me
Now they're informing me

You've changed your wicked ways
You've reformed your bad behavior

But should I give you a second chance
But do I owe you another opportunity

Baby, I'm too afraid
I'm too scared

So you realize what hurt you made
So you understand the pain you caused

And the love you threw away
And how you discarded our love

How can I forgive or soon forget
How can I forgive and forget quickly

It's never gonna be the same
Our relationship will never be as it was

Whoo!
An exclamation expressing emotion

To be fair, some songs from Carly Rae Jepsen and Katy Perry (ie This is How We Do It or Chained to the Rhythm) have a strong retro-80s vibe to it and there some other odd songs here and there but they are usually very underrated modern music.

this song was the bomb back in the day. we would do our own mixes with 12" vynils and extend it to 1/2 hour just because of the groove.

we had discos then in Malaysia and everything would sound either like this or acid house. i was merely 13 or 12 ?.

One of the great things that I love about Bananarama is that they generally sing in unison, rather than in harmony with a lead singer that sings most of the songs.

@ingvarjensen1088

@Steve Rosberg Singing in unison means they are all singing exactly the same melody instead of a first, a second and a third voice that harmonize together. However, the DID sing harmonies on most of the songs of their "True Confessions" album (bar the Stock Aitken Waterman produced songs "Venus" and "More Than Physical", of course). It's easier to sing in unison.

This is one of the most underrated pop singles ever. I can remember playing an incomplete copy from American Top 40 its debut week on my makeshift cassette walkman - over and over again in complete audiophile ecstasy. This was vaguely dismissed as bubble gum at the time, but the sophisticated listener can here ALOT going on with the arrangement, especially the vocals. Bananarama had two distinct phases, Tony Swain and then of course this from the Stock/Aiken/Waterman era. As a set I much prefer the Swain, but it's hard to not also appreciate the later material. This also demonstrates that Sarah, Keren & Siobhan were more than just incredibly pretty studio props-it was their idea to do the remake of "Venus" which was their biggest commercial success here in the states.

I bought this at the time and remember frantically trying to learn the dance routine before heading out to the club on Saturday where it would be played. Happy days !

I wish they still played this at the clubs or at least have a club dedicated to this music it's always danceable and gets people in a great mood unlike the trap crap they play now

I lost track of this wonderful group after their song Venus came out so I really have never heard this piece before - it's wonderful, upbeat, and just as good as Cruel Summer and Venus. The 1980's music was so damned good.

They had a great sound. Happy, carefree music with the production team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman. 80's ruled

@user-dy5qj9zh4m

I loved PWL music, How about you?

@80ssynthfan48

This is effectively plagiarised music with new lyrics (Michael Fortunati - Give Me Up).

The Bananarama songs, especially the PWL productions, have aged really well. Music that you can still listen to today in a relaxed way. Great band. Unique

I love this song, always have since I first heard it decades ago. Can't listen to it only once, like pringles have to play it over again.

I danced to this on my very first holiday abroad - it was in Ibiza in 1988. I was with a friend and we let it all go on the hotel patio! This song is always associated with that hot summer night. Bananarama were such fun! 💃🍌

I’m born 1990, my mother was in her teenage in the 80’s. She always played 80’s music when I was young, so quickly learned the songs 😅. You look like to have really fun in the 80’s I wish I was able to discover it to 😩.

Definitely the best music made ✌🏼😌.

@igornameless1420

I feel exactly the same, especially in verses before the chorus. When I hear it, I could almost cry. Like longing for some unforgettable beautiful past days.

@trustinchrist6714

@Igor Nameless I know what you mean. I feel really sorry for the kids and what THEY are going to have for nostalgia. Melody-less drivel with one chord and two notes, with some grown woman trying to sound like a cute youngster. That's all they have in music now.

@dntlss

@@trustinchrist6714 Yeah poor kids dont have squat, you think they feel that way though? just curious, they probably think its the best music ever,lol

@trustinchrist6714

@dntlss honestly, it is almost intolerable. I feel like I can't even have the radio on for more than a minute. I know it's all opinion and subjective, but I think we could somehow probably prove that there is a lack of good writing these days.

@trustinchrist6714

@dntlss I mean, if it makes today's generation happy, I'm all for it. If they can hum that in 20 years, that's great. I'm glad we had what we had

@JamesSaintRave

There is something special about this singing group--maybe because they never take it too serious while seriously singing their butts off! Though they had 2 number ones and lots of hits they are somewhat underrated.

I'm 28 years old, and I love the 80s! Saw this video on an 80s channel, and I fell in love with the song 💃❤️. I know that generations must evolve, but I feel that it has gone in the opposite direction 😔. Is anyone listening in 2023?

I used to catch this one on the radio. Such a fun iconic Bananarama song! 🍌🍌🍌
(I imagine this would blow up once it gets featured in a Netflix show like Stranger Things season five or something since it'll likely take place in '87)
