They were cute, in an ‘80s kind of way.

Without reading the linked article, I recall they and “Fun Boy Three” were manufactured at the same time.
They did come out of the punk scene, with Fun Boy Three being the Specials packaged commercially.

Yep, their first hit was a collaboration with FB3. I liked their original material but loathed Venus.

I have prey eclectic taste in music.Some classical,some country,some “easy listening”,lots and lots of 50’s/60’s rock/pop,lots of 60’s folk and some “new age”.I've always thought that Bananarama was fun for several reasons.First,a few of the things they did were pretty entertaining in a bubble gum kind of way.The second is “who needs porn when there are Bananarama music videos?”

Glad to see Iggy pop mentioned. Sad no Ramones, Pixies,Smiths or Johnny Rotten mentioned. I think Iggy got Missing Persons band started up with a hotty playboy bunny singer (Dale Bozzio) and arguably one of the best drummers ever, Terry Bozzio.

Keren Woodward. Yum.
Many people have mocked Andrew Ridgeley of Wham! but he got (and kept) Keren. So there!

I vaguely recall the videos but never dropped a needle on their albums.
Their look reminds me of the look of the band at the end of Ladies & Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982).
Trailer

Video from the end of the movie

Cast includes members of the Clash (Paul Simonon), Sex Pistols (Steve Jones and Paul Cook), and Tubes (Fee Waybill and Vince Welnick).

I don’t recall if I’ve brought it up before but their is a 3-part history of (British) punk starting with the post-60s rock and roll revival and pub-rock, then covering 1977 in part II (and the wind down into NME pop and video produced acts), and post-punk (in part III).
The punk bands that successfully made the transition to video and dance clubs survived (the Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Billy Idol, etc.).
Funny thing is part I has footage of Malcolm McClaren selling past date 50s attire to the audience at the 1972 Rock & Roll Show at Wembley Stadium (to see Screaming Lord Sutch, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry).

But they didn’t even sing in harmony. On the 1-10 scale of vocal talent they were about a 2.
