(1987)"I Heard a Rumour" is a 1987 song 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 #14 in their native UK, and climbing to #4 in the U.S., #2 in Canada and #8 in 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 in the PlayStation karaoke game SingStar Anthems.
