    I remember so well sitting in front of the TV in 1981 at the age of 11, watching Eurovision and hoping so much for this song to win. I loved it so much and still love it today. - Best regards from Germany! ❤

    Es ist egal wie alt dieses Lied auch sein mag, es wird niemals alt,
    der Mode kommen und es wird niemals sterben!
    Auch wenn der Name dieser Band irgendwann einmal vergessen sein wird
    und man sich kaum daran erinnern möge, wer es gesungen hat, es wird
    auch noch lange erklingen, wenn wir alle längst Vergangenheit sind!

    Why songs like this are so popular can be seen when in the numerous quiz shows on TV a question on 70s or 80s Eurovision is answered in a split second.
    Yet when any modern stuff is in a question you often sees younger quizzes look blank.
    Bucks Fizz were an example of a group that made happy music and probably little money.
    Even though the group members always appeared to have their heads screwed on, record companies seemed to rule the roost until the Spice Girls emerged fifteen years later.
    Society would probably more happier if music like this was regularly recorded.

    🙂 I remember watching this on Top of the Pops (when I was 11) as the entry for the Eurovision song contest hopefuls. I remember how "scandalous" it seemed when the skirts were ripped off. There was a huge energy about them and everyone in the UK went nuts when they won the Eurovision. How time has flown!

    • @GothiicAngels

    From across the pond. First heard this cut, yonks ago, as the background music to a "pasa doable?" performed in an ice skating competition. Trying to find the song, answers returned to the field on mental health. Eventually found Bucks Fizz and purchased their GH CD. Thanks. Narragansett Bay

    1981 Eurovision winner with Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan, Bobby G and Jay Aston. They moved on from this and had 20 UK charting singles in the 80's, including three #1's. Not bad for a band thrown together just to sing one song. This one was never released in America, and they never really broke through here, but the music was excellent and I have all five albums, plus an anthology collection and their latest one as "The Fizz", released last year.

    Whenever I hear this it takes me back to a rollerskating rink in the early 80s. When it came on it meant time for speedskating and the slower skaters to get off the rink. Same goes for Sweet - Ballroom Blitz and Split Enz - I see Red.
