One, two, three... Bananas - Marga and Deuce

After the Dutch girl group Luv' split up in 1982, one of the members Marga Scheide teamed up with twin sisters Clari and Anja Horsmeier to record 'One, two, three... Bananas', hoping to achieve similar success. The single flopped mercilessly, despite its pretty decent retro production.

Marga Scheide reformed Luv' in 1989 with different members, and later on with the original members of Luv' in 1993 and 2005. The Horsmeier sisters competed in the Dutch national final for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1983 with the song 'Computergames', but didn't win.

My collection: 7" single no. 167
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1982
Cost: 3,5 guilders
Tracks: 'One, two, three... Bananas' / 'Ooh, he did it'
