    Brilliant song.
    Bucks Fizz went from winning Eurovision to becoming a very successful 80's pop group with a string a top quality hits.
    I loved them then and still love them now.

      I am 51 today unfortunately. I remember them winning Eurovision in 1981 and have followed them ever since. I used to extol their merits to anyone who would listen in the 1990s but even then they were seen as old hat. Their music has has the last laugh and has truly stood the test of time.

    Looking back Bucks Fizz had some catchy tunes back in the 80's... I heard this tune for the first time in November 2018 since it came out in the 80's and can just about recall it playing back then on the radio.. And it brought back such sad memories of how the music industry, and time has changed for the worse!!! Back then it all about innocent fun.. Now, when you step outside your front door to go to work, Uni or school....etc, you don't even know if you'll make it back in one piece with how this world is going...

    • @zanducktv2398
      @zanducktv2398 5 років тому

      J Boi spot on. Few years old and superseded by events now, but there was a Bucks Fizz story biopic dvd released, and on there their record company guy says they were a shot in the arm for the British music industry at the time. Much simpler times, innocent and carefree. Now those days are gone indeed.

    Bucks Fizz has always been one of my favourite groups. Catchy tracks and brill performers. I worked with Cheryl when I worked at Tyne Tees Television. She co presented a Tyne Tees childrens show called 'How Dare You' and she was totally natural. The group were invited to appear on the show alongside Cheryl and they were brill too. It was the same day they were involved in a bus crash, on their way back from a performance, at the Newcastle City Hall.

Did they take part in the silly messy games? I remember the preview in Look In said Bucks Fizz get more than they bargained for!
