"I Heard a Rumour" is a 1987 song by recorded by English girl group Bananarama, featured on their Wow! album. It was also featured in the film Disorderlies (starring The Fat Boys) and included on its soundtrack. The music video is an expansion on the dress-up theme of Bananarama's "Venus". Group members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward are seen emulating various film stars, projected on screens behind them, by dressing up in various costumes, such as a cowgirl or Carmen Miranda. Bananarama's trademark silliness is interspersed throughout. At one point the group, dressed in French can-can dresses, bend over to 'moon' the camera and expose the letters W-O-W (a reference to their album title) on their rears. Bloopers are also kept in and intercut. "I Heard a Rumour" became one of Bananarama's biggest singles, hitting the top-twenty in their native UK, and climbing into the top ten in the U.S., Canada and New Zealand. It was also a hit in nightclubs, prompting a top-five placing on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song is included the PlayStation karaoke game SingStar Anthems.
