Cheers Then

About Cheers Then

"Cheers Then" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It appears on their 1983 debut album Deep Sea Skiving and was released as its third single in November 1982, a few months before the album. The song was the first Bananarama single to be written by group members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward and also their first ballad release. Coming off three consecutive top-ten hits, "Cheers Then" peaked at a disappointing number forty-five in the UK singles chart. Fahey said in a 1986 interview about this song, "We started taking our careers seriously after 'Cheers Then' bombed. Before then we thought all groups just brought out records and had them go to the top of the charts. It brought us down to reality a bit." Even with its relatively low sales, the song is regarded by critics as one of Bananarama's best recordings. The group's fortunes would rebound, however, with their UK follow-up single, a cover version of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". The B-side, "Girl About Town," has been issued on CD for the first time on the 2007 UK reissue of Deep Sea Skiving as one of five bonus tracks. However the version used is a slightly longer version (3:31) with an additional 4 bars just before the instrumental break (roughly 1:45 - 1:59). more »

Cheers then here's two old friends 
We thought we'd never say goodbye 
But those good times came to an end 
And its not worth another try 
Familiar place familiar face 
But feeling's not the same 
Try to relive what we once did 
Its just a silly game 

Cheers then here's two old friends 
We thought we'd never say goodbye 
But those good times came to an end 
And its not worth another try 
One of the crowd 
It felt so safe 
I never felt alone 
Together everyday and night 
When you and me were young 

Ooh ooh ooh... 
Cheers then here's two old friends 
We thought we'd never say goodbye 
But those good times came to an end 
And its not worth another try 
Time that lapsed a bond collapsed 
We never planned for that 
You felt betrayed I let you down 
You're better on your own 

Ooh ooh ooh... 
Cheers then, it had to end 
Cheers then, another try 
Cheers then, here's two old friends 
Cheers then, we're saying goodbye 
Cheers then, we're saying goodbye 
Cheers then...

Bananarama

Bananarama are an English female pop band who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982. Rather than relying on harmony, the band generally sings in unison, as do their background vocalists. Although there have been line-up changes, the group enjoyed most success as a trio made up of lifelong friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. 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 »
