C'è un bel pezzo delle Bananarama, "Robert De Niro's waiting". Per anni si è pensato che la ragazza protagonista della canzone fosse una fan di "Taxi Driver". Invece, poco tempo fa, sul suo sito web, l'ex leader del gruppo Siobhan Fahey ha scritto: "Il testo della canzone, che doveva chiamarsi Al Pacino's waiting" ed è stata modificata in "Robert DeNiro's waiting" perché suonava meglio, è ispirato dall'esperienza di una vittima di stupro". Una ragazza che non riesce più a relazionarsi con nessuno se non con il suo idolo di celluloide alla TV.
Il brano, inserito nell'album "Bananarama" del 1984, raggiunse il terzo posto nell'hit parade britannica.

ROBERT DE NIRO'S WAITING

(S. Jolley/T. Swain/S. Dallin/S. Fahey/ K. Woodward)
Hope's dashed to the floor like shattered teenage dreams.
Boys living next door are never what they seem.
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
People are staring and following me.
This is my only escape from it all:
Watching a film or a face on the wall.
Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian.
I don't need a boy
I've a got a man of steel
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel.
You're breathing
you're touching
but nothing's for free
I never want this to happen to me.
Don't try to change me
you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind.
Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian. . . .
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
. . .
Robert de Niro's waiting
