Bananarama

Eighties girl group

Bananarama is a British pop group formed in 1981, known for upbeat dance hits like "Venus" and "Cruel Summer." The name combines banana with the suffix -rama suggesting spectacle or excitement.

Outside the band reference, bananarama occasionally describes any chaotic, colorful, or absurdly fun situation: The kids' birthday party turned into a complete bananarama.
