"Megarama '89" is a megamix of songs by English girl group Bananarama. It was released as a single in 1989 in Germany, Japan and France. The French single differs from the version released in Germany and Japan.

The megamix does not appear on any of Bananarama's albums and has not been included on any of the group's greatest hits packages. The single had its greatest success in France, where it peaked at number seventeen.

Bananarama recordings which are sampled on this track include:

  • "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye"
  • "Cruel Summer"

  • "I Heard a Rumour"
  • "Shy Boy"

    • "Love in the Factory" was the B-side to the charity single "Help!", which was recorded by Bananarama and Lananeeneenoonoo. It was a parody of Bananarama's "Love in the First Degree".
