Bananarama write and recorded 'Robert de Niro's waiting' on their self-titled second album, which was released in 1984. The track was apparently originally called 'Al Pacino's waiting', but was changed to 'Robert de Niro's waiting' because it fitted the music better. According to Siobhan Fahey: 'At Jolley [and] Swain's insistence the line 'Talking Italian' was added to add a 'romantic' edge.;The single reached number 3 in the UK singles chart and number 25 in the Dutch Top 40. When Robert de Niro heard of the 'tribute' song, he arranged to meet the girls from Bananarama for drinks and dinner.

Interesting fact this single was released as 3 different coloured 12 inch singles in the UK, Blue for Sarah, Red/Pink for Keren and Green for Siobhan, I got them about 5 years ago, as part for about 50 singles which were a few 12 inch pic disc and coloured vinyl and the rest were 7 inch pic discs and and one 4 record 7 inch box set all for £20 well happy.
