Bauhaus wasn't British? Where were they from, then?

Nope. It’s definitely tougher than the guesses so far (but not maven-tough… I don’t think). The answer will be glaringly obvious when you get it (email me if you want to validate). Should I give a clue?

Bananarama – Robert DeNiro’s Waiting (Talking Italian)
Bauhaus – Bela Legosi’s Dead

What about "Dear Prudence" or "Christine (the Strawberry girl, banana split lady"???
I heard they were babes!
