About Do Not Disturb

"Do Not Disturb" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It was written and produced by the production duo of Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. Originally released as a stand-alone single in 1985, the track was later added to Bananarama's third album True Confessions which was issued by London Records a year later. "Do Not Disturb" was released in the UK, Australia, Germany and Japan but only charted in the UK. Bananarama did not like the song. Group member Keren Woodward later said of the True Confessions album, "It is all our ideas, it is what we wanted to sound like and sing about. Except 'Do Not Disturb' which Swain and Jolley wrote and which we don't think is very good. Thats why there's eleven songs on the LP instead of ten". When released, "Do Not Disturb" was a mid-charting single, peaking at number thirty-one. The song was also issued as 3 separate shaped picture discs, each featuring a member of the group, which came with a plinth to put them on display.

Non disturbaded
Do not
Disturb

We took the late flight
Close to heaven in the cold half light
All the pleasures of that very first night
Crystal clear in my mind
No complications
Just another reservation
In a beach hotel
We found a room with a view
Lock the door and change the sign

Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Just you and me together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Take your time
When you read the sign
It's in black and white
In plain and simple terms
Do not disturb
Oh no

Where is the laughter
I know there must have been
A change of heart
Oh I don't wanna stay here with you
Now the sun won't shine
This total isolation
Seems to cloud our celebration
While I'm waiting all alone in my room
Trying to read between the lines

Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Now we're not together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Now we're not together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Take your time
When you read the sign
It's in black and white
In plain and simple terms
Do not disturb
Oh no

Do not
Oh no
Non disturbaded
Do not disturb
Do not disturb
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb

In The 1980s, Bananarama were listed in the Guinness World Records as the all female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a Duo. more »
