Norm's Top 10 Bananarama songs - #2 'Tripping On Your Love'


Go on, come with it
Hear me now
Breakout

I woke from a dream
Looked up to see your face was
Smiling down at me
The sunlight crept through
Painting my room and I just
Had to say
Primrose coloured paths lay at your feet

Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love

Straight out of the blue
Drowning in you it's such a
Sweet sensation and I'm
Floating above
This heavenly love and through my
Mirror I see
Magic multicoloured painted dreams

Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love

Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Trip on my love
Dance on the mike one day with this drama
Tripping on my love with the Bananarama

Primrose coloured paths lay at your feet

Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love

Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love
Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love

Keep it coming
Don't you stop loving
I'm high
Tripping on your love

This is where it gets EXTREMELY tough. I struggled to decide which Bananarama song was my #1 favourite but in the end this came in second place. Released in August 1991, this was the fourth and final single from the 'Pop Life' album and the last Bananarama single as a trio. It was rather embarrassingly their first single not to enter the charts and prompted the move back to Stock and Waterman for the next album in the hope of giving them another Top 40 hit. For me, this is the girls' most uplifting song with wonderfully euphoric lyrics. I never tire of listening to it. It's just such a shame that in my opinion their most experimental and alternative song of their career went virtually unnoticed. Here is a fan-made video for the fantastic Metropolis mix by none other than George Michael:



SO if you want to find out my #1 Bananarama song of ALL TIME, forget listening to the UK Top 40 this Sunday (you won't find any Bananarama there!) - Banormarama is the place to be as at 7pm the song will be unveiled!

Fancy guessing what my favourite is??? Leave a comment with your prediction and come back Sunday to see if you're right!
