Bobby Gubb.s wife now owns the rights to the name. And the guys swingin their arms, coupled with the brightly coloured jumpers, reminds me of Rainbows Rod & Freddy Lol but true!
@kpongr2 Not at all. Infact the melody, vocal ranges and style of this song owes to records that were found in jukeboxes in the 1950s, not the pop music Abba made in the 1970s.
@jedwardmaniaxx Ha! I hope so!!!! Honestly! Just so people can see whats happened to Eurovision - everyone's so obsessed with winning they forget to, well, have fun! And somehow I think it'll take a missed flight and a hairspray shortage to stop Jedward having fun :)
Since we invaded Iraq, the UK has come near enough bottom in this show. The BBC was even going to withdraw from the 'competition' because it go so racist. We, like France and Germany pay the post for this show, its an absolute joke.
@jacksite2007 It's got nothing to do with Iraq. It's Eastern Europe, they still all block vote. Yes they've brought in judges now, but that still doesn't really count for anything.
@jacksite2007 Apologies for this, but what a load of cock! The BBC constantly say they 'might' pull out but they've never mentioned 'racist' reasons because there aren't any. We, like France, Germany and SPAIN choose to pay (which now includes Italy again). The reason we score so low is because for the past decade or so, we've sent garbage (James Fox being one of the better ones). There are no other reasons at all except the issue of some 'friendly' voting of which we are all guilty.
The years flying away... I remember Buck Fizz and the song Making your mind up and this was my favorite song in Eurovision 1981! 12 points goes to.... ;-)
I remember the time they did this after they won. The pure joy, the sheer excitement is something I will never forget. Even if all went pear shaped later. They had more success than 99.8 percent of us ever had.
@yyttroll we've recieved the most points over the lifetime of any country, as well as having the highest average for any contender in any individual contest, as well as having the best average place of any country and recieving at least one 8,10 or 12 points every year from 1976 to 2000. So um...yeah.
I just listened to the entire 1981 contest. All other songs are pretty average. Non of them is truly bad, but none of them is truly good either. Most are kind of forgettable. (Except maybe portugal). So UK got the victory for being the only country that sent a fun and enjoyable act in a pretty mediocre year.
Just in case you wonder why they won: They were fun. Everybody else weren't.
@xxxdannyxxx Because I'm an Eurovision geek. I started in 1956, and have been listening to all songs on all years in order. (An erasing the ones that I don't like). Right now I'm on 2007. Yay!
@xxxdannyxxx Okay, enough!!!!!! What IS your problem? Yeah, we get it, you don't like the song. But who are you to be judgemental to others? You go from vid to vid posting the same thing over and over again.
We all have different things that we enjoy, but not all of us choose to berate and criticise others just because we disapprove of their choices.
if ur a bucks fizz fan or a cheryl baker fan then check out RENT in sevenoaks in kent, Cheryls twin daughters are starring in the production and tickets are on sale now, show is at the stag theatre on the 25th and 26th of feb. contact me on my page for ticket details!
Cette chanson est nul !!!! c'est le plus mauvais vainqueur de l"eurovision !!!! en plus cette année ( 1981) il y avait de superbe chanson avec la suisse , la France et l'Allemagne !!!!
@98porgy There were quite a few groups (it seemed common to be in Eurovision) that were more or less "ABBA substitutes".. three from the UK (New Seekers, Brotherhood of Man, Bucks Fizz), Israel (Gali Atari), and Gerrmany (Tschingis Khan)...
@KallistiUK Oh, they didn't start out that way (in face, ABBA probably were influenced by THEM), but after "I'd like to Teach the World to Sing" and "Beg, Steal, or Borrow", their output after ABBA became popular they REALLY imitated them. So did Brotherhood of Man (contrast pre-ABBA, like "United We Stand" to things like "Save Your Kisses for Me" and "Angelo"),and Tschingis Khan.
@shmuli9 How was "Save Your Kisses For Me" an Abba rip-off? What Abba track does it sound like? Yeah, a couple of the Brotherhood of Man songs did sound Abba-esq, but their Eurovision winner was not one.
@FabFM "Save Your Kisses for Me" doesn't sound like a SPECIFIC ABBA song, but it has that sound ("kisses for ME, save all your kisses for ME"). Oh, look, someone ELSE (kpongr) think they sounded like ABBA, too... (imagine that) Although to be truly an ABBA rip-off, they would have had to sing "kissesss " and "safe"... A better question would be "why are you 'defending' them"? (Though I'm sure both Brotherhood of Man and ABBA appreciate your 'help'.)
@shmuli9 No it dosne't sound like a specific ABBA, because its not an Abba rip off. If you want to ask me "why am I defending them", let me ask you, "why are you even debating with me". Save your kisses for me is a standard pop song, that could have been sung by countless pop groups that came along before or after Abba, and is not a sound that Abba created.
@FabFM On that point ("it could have been sung by anybody, as itis a standard pop song"). I suppose Ispecifically think of it as an ABBA song, because of how many "two man, two woman" groups all of a sudden appeared. That, too, COULD be the zeitgeist ("the spirit of the time"), but rather similarly, "boy bands" ALWAYS have five members (The Jackson Five, New Edition, Take That, NKOTB, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, BoyZone) ...
@shmuli9 The Brotherhood of man's "Angelo" was an Abba influenced track because it sounded a little bit like Fernando, but "save your kisses for me" and some of their other songs owe nothing to Abba's sound. Some do though. With Bucks Fizz, male vocals were dominate on many of the hits and their was very little to none Abba influence in their music. The most important member of the fizz is Bobby G, even though Cheryl Baker is arguably more famous (mostly due to her TV presenting).
@FabFM If YOU say so, then it must be true... And no doubt "Shakin Stevens" only incidentally dressed and wore his hair like Elvis (well, update; "stone washing" didn't exist in the 50s)... and sang songs originally made popular in the 1950s... :-)
@shmuli9 No, it's not true because I said so, it's true because it's true and even you admitted it doesn't sound like an Abba song, so I don't know why you're still acting like this, kinda silly really. And no, Stevens was clearly heavily influenced by Presley and I would have never claimed other wise. Lets talk about facts, which is what I base my comments on, lets not make assumptions as what the other "might" say (like you are...).
@skintrade Sort of. Bobby Gee tried to reform Bucks Fizz with David van Day but they fell out and van Day ended up touring with his own version of Bucks Fizz whilst Bobby Gee went his own way also. There were then two Bucks Fizzes performing at the same time and it went to court to determine who should own the brand. I don't know who won out in the end, but Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston and Mike Nolan who were 3/4 of the original line-up can now only perform under the title 'The Original Bucks Fizz'.
They must have been nervous, it was not there best performance of that song, there was a few timing errors, and some bad singing. I think it may have been the one on the right in the yellow. She just hasn't got the range dhhaaaarrhling.
ok firstly the woman in the yellow sounded like a bad version of dido.. hmm and not to keen on her... secondly the guys trousers! bulge!!! defo a hint of a few acorns there!.. that is all... hmm i think the song just haunts me to lol
The Eurovison song contest in the 80s were just better than nowadays. I STILL have Bucks Fizz VINYL single in the basement: To many good memorys:0) Greetings from Denmark.
not the best singing, but it was the best song. A bit like this year ! What's remarkable is, that all 4 had a very selfconfident and winning stage presence. Every eye contact with the camera was transporting fun, energy and spirit. That's what good entertainers are all about. And of course the song is really really good !
@davidsan01 That's not the reason this song won...it won cos it was poppy, damn catchy, very Eurovision and well sang and performed. Even now (tho we wont admit it) it kinda lifts the spirits when we hear it. A genuinely good 3 min pop song.
@woodster1965 you are spot on with what you said - it is very catchy and it is a feel good song. We have not had another eurovision song that has all those ingredients - that is one of the reason we never do well these days
If only the Eurovision Song Contest was still like this...I love the old days of the contest, nowadays it's all about politics and "somehow" all Eastern bloc countries win year by year...it totally sucks.
No wonder they won with this, I remember the following year when 'Top of the Pops', fell on April Fools Day, they had a group singing this in French and they said it was their entry for the next Eurovision.LOL
Well! The song became a big hit. So there must have been a lot of sad bastards in the world at that time. Fun was still a regularly used word, and that's what was required in this song contest at the time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Crap and idiotic song, the lyrics is very stupid... great shit... the only say: "Making your mind up... and few more....
The best areithe beautiful girls and the colours of the clothes, the rest is all a great crap....Was the worst song of 1981 and not deserved to win, it´s politics.
@MrEurocat You are the second person thats pointed this out. My mistake, I'll have to make sure I say UK from now on. So it's Nul points for me. Now that does sound familiar
If I would ever think of the Brady Bunch in Eurovision, it would look and sound something like this hahaha ;) But I love it cause its so silly and fun lol
It still doesnt get in my head how did this song won that year... People today are speaking that nowdays eurovision is bad - just look at this than! ....... F.....g disgrace........
Based on what the various countries voted for, yes. But this a VERY average song and definitely didn't deserve to win. The Norwegian entry "Aldri i livet" is fantastic and deserved should've won. Instead it ended up last with 0 points. Disgrace.
I loved this song when i was 6. It got a lot of airplay on the radio here in Australia. I also remember Land Of Make Believe. Takes me back to when I was in grade one.
I remember where exactly I was when this song win the Eurovision song contest, good memories, and I think iyt was the song that deserved the victory. Regards from Spain.
lovely video I am always playing it, I recently got an autograph photo from Bobby gs new band line up, via bobbys father! thanks to them if they see this text. pam
That's one of the worst & most ridiculous trash / kitsch songs ever in ESC history !!! Awful, terrific : that's how a song should never be if someone
knows what music art is meant to be .
Sorry to say this , but this is a typical UK rubbish song : UK have always sent shits to the ESC, except maybe 1975 .
If someone strongly wants to listen to so silly texted & poorly composed garbage or he's that tastekess ignorant to prefer this throw-away kleenex so called music
which makes those tasteless who like it even bigger ignorant & more primitive, then I have to agree with those who say the ESC died long time ago, much before the 2000s, exactly when a poor, rude, trashy music attitude from certain countries kept on spread around civilized European Music art .
Otherwise said, the day when certain countries' people made so pathetic rubbish shits win the contest !
So cool. They don´t look English at all, they look as if they were American college boys/girls, except for the guy with the green sweater, that looks like Paul McCartney with a blond wig.
I loved it then and do so now

If only the Eurovision Song Contest was still like this...I love the old days of the contest, nowadays it's all about politics and "somehow" all Eastern bloc countries win year by year...it totally sucks.

@poeseloetje Indeed, and that's why this year, it's in Norway, and Iceland ended up 2nd and UK 5th last year.

No wonder they won with this, I remember the following year when 'Top of the Pops', fell on April Fools Day, they had a group singing this in French and they said it was their entry for the next Eurovision.LOL

Mr00408505660 2 years ago
Well! The song became a big hit. So there must have been a lot of sad bastards in the world at that time. Fun was still a regularly used word, and that's what was required in this song contest at the time.

Crap and idiotic song, the lyrics is very stupid... great shit... the only say: "Making your mind up... and few more....
The best areithe beautiful girls and the colours of the clothes, the rest is all a great crap....Was the worst song of 1981 and not deserved to win, it´s politics.
CJBR1966 2 years ago
@CJBR1966 are you suggesting the Eurovision song contest is not all politics now?
I also notice where you're from, Portugal, who have the record of most entries without winning the contest. No wonder you are bitter.

Politics? England have come second fifteen times. Coincidence?
What about the 2003 Nul points. The first time England had come last.

Based on what the various countries voted for, yes. But this a VERY average song and definitely didn't deserve to win. The Norwegian entry "Aldri i livet" is fantastic and deserved should've won. Instead it ended up last with 0 points. Disgrace.

That's one of the worst & most ridiculous trash / kitsch songs ever in ESC history !!! Awful, terrific : that's how a song should never be if someone
knows what music art is meant to be .
Sorry to say this , but this is a typical UK rubbish song : UK have always sent shits to the ESC, except maybe 1975 .
If someone strongly wants to listen to so silly texted & poorly composed garbage or he's that tastekess ignorant to prefer this throw-away kleenex so called music

which makes those tasteless who like it even bigger ignorant & more primitive, then I have to agree with those who say the ESC died long time ago, much before the 2000s, exactly when a poor, rude, trashy music attitude from certain countries kept on spread around civilized European Music art .
Otherwise said, the day when certain countries' people made so pathetic rubbish shits win the contest !
