Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Fiji government overthrown by Bananarama!
From the looks of their website—which still hasn't posted the news of their smashing victory—they seemed to have lost one of the original members, but I'm not convinced the new singer is going to fit in with the group's overall image.
I am hoping Banana Republic can get some kind of synergistic merchandising tie-in going.

Posted by: norbizness at December 5, 2006 12:35 PMYou know Bananarama lyrics read very much like the songs in Pynchon's novels.
Posted by: Clownæsthesiologist at December 5, 2006 02:15 PMJust to be clear, Apostropher, are you saying that you heard a rumor?
Posted by: Gaijin Biker at December 6, 2006 09:24 AMYou know what's weird about Bananarama? Three vocalists and nobody sings harmony.

Huh. I always figured Kajagoogoo was too shy to do something like that.
Posted by: M/tch M/lls at December 6, 2006 01:26 PMThere are alot of ironies in that coup - throwing over elected leaders to save democracy. But in ethnically divided Fiji, where economically upward-working ethnic Indians are upstaging the native Fijians, Bananarama may have a point. See Amy Chua's book.
