Persistent earworm alert CXXXIV

When you lose an item, people often recommend retracing your steps to find it.  I'd like to do that with my thoughts tonight.  It  might explain why I've been thinking repeatedly of Bananarama's "I Heard A Rumour," a song I haven't heard on the radio since it was a hit in the Summer of '87.  The hook isn't bad, actually; the group approached the tune in much the same way as they did their cover of Shocking Blue's "Venus."  As overtly pop songs go, it isn't bad; I'd just like to know what sparked my memory of it 32 years later.
