FUZZBOX "Love Is The Slug"

[dominocat]

I begged my mother for a set of crimpers back in the 1980's. Now in my early 40's my hair is bright purple. I largely blame Fuzzbox.

[quirkyeye]

Are you actually the video maker? I'm interested...

[BeardedPeepee]

This was the 1st song I ever heard from them and fell in love with them. Had their albums on cassette for the car radio. Great memories!

[Lyca31]

I can't believe I found this on youtube :)) I remember buying this on vinyl when it came out.. There was a free photo story comic with the record called "My Slug" and if I remember right the B side was a truly special acappella version of Bohemian Rhapsody.. :))) I probably still have it somewhere..

[Daisydreads]

I keep playing this song on and on and on and on and on and on..... love it SO MUCH! <3

[Daisydreads]

LOVE THIS! <3

[Habibasse]

Wow ! I used to love this song. Now that I’ve seen the video, I adore it ! ! !

[MrKevnzero]

I had this on cassette, back in the eighties. Sounded great, cranked louder than hell on my walkman. Now I am looking for a CD or LP, wish me luck! I love you, Fuzzbox!

[dannicus617]

I was 15 in 1985 and would be drooling over these girls, now I look at it and think oh my these cute little vixens were someone's daughter lol good times good times..

[fergusil]

what are they like?...love it!

[bavariacentral]

great band... the second album's something completely else... but i like it as well... vic sounds like kim wilde on the 2nd. great tunes...

[gothstaruk]

I used to fancy Roger Fuzzbox

[skylersargent456]

@Laverdisti500 no its post punk

[laverdisti500]

I have this record in my collection...but is it Punk ????

[CnutRexAnglorum]

And they say girls grow up faster today?

[caseyforever]

i hope colorful clothes comes back around! hmmm.... maybe i'll start it.

[golgo10000]

ＴＨＩＳ ＩＳ ８０ｓ！！

[quoamerica]

Great fun!!

[bex438]

Fuzzbox were cool!!! :)

[overground68]

One of the 10 best songs of the 80's!

[toplesscj]

Still a rockin song after all these years!

[KittensGotTalent]

Beautiful girls, awesome hair, excellent song!

[phillyblizzard]

Love is actually a four letter word but this ROCKS

[RubberBiscuit]

Love is the rattie. 0:45

[Thesnapshot05]

They were great live, got to see them play in Hollywood.

[MangoRoigaroo]

xD I don't love SLUGs But this ROCK

[StarQualityWins]

Youtube is incomplete w/o this video!

[halag]

Oh god I loved these girls. No-one in Australia seemed to know who they were except me. I used to play them really loudly and annoy the neighbours. I lost the tape tho. Must go look up where I can buy their stuff.

[quadergirl789]

<33

[loudrockmusic1]

Love this song.

[Maddiiiiison]

Actually remind's me abit of Robots In Disguise, looks & sound wise.

[hedup22]

gud image crap music...

[GazzaBazzaPussyCat]

They even sings in Brummie, dow they.

[diametricYouth]

Ewww....80's glam. So glad the 90's killed this ridiculous exercise in mediocrity.

[Lyca31]

I can't believe I found this on youtube!!:) When this song came out I bought the vinyl 45 single.. There was a free comic called "My slug" I still have the comic but the single got lost somewhere over the years.. If I remember right there was an acapella version of Bohemian Rhapsody on the B side!!

[TheNaomiengland]

I had photos fo Fuzzbox on my school desk at Deanry school 1989

[Enterthedeath]

My friend in his 40's showed me this band. I think he was trying to get with the guitarist. Their Drummer fill in had an eye out for him LOL!

[ElRamos]

Partied with them back in '86 when they toured the states, and have the autographed show flyer to prove it!

[elisdee01]

they got a fuzz box and know how to use it.

[DJMarcO138]

Oh dear god how I love Fuzzbox!!! And *so hot* .

[oldteenagegirl]

Well I'm relieved to see that the Fuzzbox were not a figment of my imagination......I grew up in the cornfields of Indiana, so that's what people used to tell me then ...but I told em "How can itt be a figment of my imagination if I went to the record store & bought it?"

[neilishere]

This is Fuzzbox at their best; brightening up 80's Midlands X

[beowulven]

I love the loose hold on the tempo, seriously.

[ludella77]

Love new wave fuzzbox effects!

[orlirz65]

These girls were awesome.. miss them... :(

[midnightaria]

[afudo]

I just found the original 12" on Vinaloo Records!!!! I thought all these girls were hot as a kid and I still do!!!

[loveunderlaw]

These guys rock! See the music executives of today keep pushing out garbage to people & calling it "music", they don't know shit.

[nicky2coats]

i like how the dudes who hit on her look hopelessly out-of-date now, yet the ladies look as vogue as ever. ( ps i'm not gay haha)

[nicky2coats]

i wonder what kind of drugs there were in the late 80s UK indie club scene

[beowulven]

@nicky2coats

I'd tell you but I don't remember.

[MrMetson1]

Tina's my best friends mum!

[glamtrackstar70]

I remember this video and Hollow Girl on MTV way back. I fell in love and also with a girl with pink long hair. I cried listening to Hollow Girl a few times. But the album after. Too Bananarama sounding.

[wpinklady]

good to see ladies playing drums & guitars!!

[LEFT4DEAD2010]

tina is queen!!! of rock!

[comfy1]

Any music that floats your boat is good music and if someone else doesn't like it then tough

[456daredevil]

SHIT HOT....

[SLAMDANCETHENWO]

[DrCOMPUT3R]

Thats so "80s".... I totally love it <3

The girls rock and their style is awesome..

it's so much fun to watch this video.

[missdemi97]

Shess My Sonh Teachaa Ahh Skool Shess Fab Wee Love Yuu VICKIII :) <3

[sarahconner11]

Yeah! This was the 80's^_^

[bombsoverwonderland]

MUTHAFUKIN D BEST EVRRRR

[mcdonchris]

Tina's probably got the best mohawk i've ever seen in this video...God I miss the girls.

[MegaRapture]

u.k. is so dreary now compared to the 80s , the idea of creative style here now is smelly sweatpants white trainers

[ghostmonkeyrape]

i mean 20yrs

[argopunk]

I've got the vinyl in my hand...brings back memories of lost 80s bands. They used to play these chixxx on CFNY in Toronto. Thanks for posting.

[ghostmonkeyrape]

these girls now = 74% of band now + 10 yrs

[rockon1898]

Vickie's really cute, still is...all these years later.

[ZombifiedSaint]

love this <3!

[psychoeightyeight]

I don't know what she's called, but when the pink haired girl gets angry at :55, I just crack up. Seriously awesome everything.

[mcdonchris]

Thaks Vicki....it's too funny.

[DESTROYriaa]

love it

[soyonamy]

AHHAHAHAHAHHAHA !!!

[hellokittygrl81]

brillant and original band!

[BudTheChud]

pure class

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Possibly one of the hottest looking bands of the 80s. Man are they gorgeous. And great beat too!

[jaymythxxxx]

Quite simply, one of the best songs ever recorded. Ok, they were seen a bit of a joke back in the day - maybe fairly, but that may have been them taking the piss out of ''us''. But this song - pure genius. Re finding ''Bostin Steve Austin'' on CD; good luck. I've been looking for it on eBay for years. Search for their version of ''Bohemian rhapsody'' if you can; out of this world. Was on one of the cassette singles, iirc. Maybe the same one as ''Fuzzy ramblings''; the less said there...

[mcdonchris]

Amen.

[stralight321]

I am desperately after any ORIGINAL Fuzzbox,Sigue Sigue Sputnik, & Transvision Vamp Tour Dates/Band line-up T-Shirts from 1986-1989..(No repros!)

Large or Extra Large size in good condition.Email me and we can go from there

Cheers

Stralight321

[sidplicity]

Vick looks like the love interest of the little boy shaun in the movie This Is England

[aramanth]

Bananarama on ac id! lol Not real crazy about this, kinda disorganized for a song. I like the drummer though, think her name is Jo. I will call her Jo anyway...

::How to Copy the Fuzzbox Look::.

Hair Products *wallpaper paste, egg whites etc.)

Vanna White's old gowns ripped and shredded.

Sunglasses that cost less than $1.

And presto!

[titansuzy]

I love this song. It still sounds hot now.

[Ultravylence]

This song is so cool. Ah the memories

[sexualpervert]

jr. high school for me....that little drum beat she played in this song is bad ass...I wish Fuzzbox would have pulled a train on me...for realz.

[crazymole123]

Tina is a technolgy teacher at swanshurst school she is my form tutor :D

[gobtv]

If that's true, please say hello to Tina from me. It would be lovely to hear from her.

[mcdonchris]

That is too cool...I bet she's still great.

[MegaRapture]

@crazymole123  you are privileged if thats the case, my gawd wait till i tell guys in the states.

[Janwolf]

It's official, I bloody LOVE youtube!! I've watched Fuzzbox (whose first album I played to death when it came out lol), Bauhaus, Skeletal Family and many more. Sigh...ah the good old days...I feel SO old!!

[mcdonchris]

Does anyone know what Tina's doing these days?

[HippiexSassy]

She's so cool and purdy! ^_^ Lol, and her songs are awsome well their's can't leave out the rest of the band can I? =S

[MyrnaMinx1]

I know how to use it, fellow fuzzies! Gawd does this take me back to High School.

[coburn2]

oh my god!  this brings me back to high school!

[rayne1170]

wow my mom used 2 listen 2 this in the 80s

HMM... i wonder if she looked like that 2?????

[nuwavething]

i love this totally wild video i still have all their vinyl 12inches and their two albums.i met this group in l.a. in 1987 before they sold out and they were great.

[seashel713]

I totally loved this video!! It was soooo great back in the day! Thanks for the 80's!!

[demonhoopa]

We've got a Fuzzbox and we're not afraid to use it!!!!!!!

[VL1302]

They remind me of my female friends back in the 70's/80's in our local Punk club. The line dancing is hilarious and so not done, like it :-) Guess they knew how to make fun.

[drrtylittlerockstar]

i remember being really jealous of Mags at one point cos she was dating Rob Newman.

[jamierourketen]

remind me of strawberry switchblade.

[flares]

Brilliant. They're like a female Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

[crieswhicharewings]

Fuzzbox > Dragonforce

[LadyKier37]

I love this song, oh the memories

[yafudye]

I'll second that. Although it does make me feel a bit dated.

[Dexbam]

cool :o

[RogueGirl74]

Omg, I forgot they line danced in this video! lols

Love the Fuzzies... brings back some great memories.

[Rumpio]

According to their website there's some new material and... gigs!!... coming soon, God i want to go. only 3 of the girls, but it'll still be great

[SirGizz]

I hope Mags is there she was hhhhhhhhoooooott loved them in 80's and still listen to them now.

[sduddy]

no i fancy the drummer  not

[gumballgrenade]

OMG. I'm crying! This is fantastic! So happy to have found it! FuzzBox Rocks!

[redfoozle]

I like girls in short skirts, because when they bend over.. well, you get the picture.

[thescallywags]

I loved this group. They werent great musicians but they had a great spirit an a quirkiness about them. Id rather listen to this than all the polishd over produced crap.

[mcdonchris]

You are so right...my feelings exactly..

[thescallywags]

I loved this group. They werent great musicians but they had a great spirit and a quirkiness about them. I would rather listen to this than all the polished over produced crap.

[funeralmonkey]

Oh man! I have been waiting to see this video again for many years...I first saw it back in the early glorious heyday of "120 Minutes". Those were the daze...

[SirGizz]

I still have a crush on Mags :P

[gobtv]

In about 20 years you'll grow out of it.

[sanfran66]

Which one is Mags? Is she the one with red hair?

[SirGizz]

Yes, she's yummy

[RichardGatkowski]

Absolutely AMAZING! They really were great as is the video. Beautiful colors!

[bangtwister]

Fantastic band before they sold out! I watch the video and i still get fizzy pants! The first album songs really rock too!

[gobtv]

The first album was and still is brilliant.

Unique sound....great production by Rob Lloyd.

[bangtwister]

Any idea where i can get the album on CD?

Cheers!

[gobtv]

Actually no....ebay would be your best bet.

[PFintheUK]

As far as I'm aware, "Bostin' Steve Austin" was never released on CD - I think the best you can do is buy the Greatest Hits CD + DVD from Amazon - just search for Fuzzbox and it's called "Look at the Hits on That"

[ooJaydeeoo]

thats my dads cousion

[penisyourmajesty]

I've got a FUZZBOX and I'm gonna use it!

[alexthecad]

GIRLS ALOUD have BLATANTLY ripped off Fuzzbox! Brian Higgins balls should be put on the choppin board!

[gobtv]

Possibly true, but the punishment you propose seems a little harsh, given that he took a good idea and made it work.

[VernianProcess]

That first album is like the grittier sister of Strawberry Switchblade.

[gobtv]

It was a seminal record....10 years too early though. No-one has sounded like them since.

[VernianProcess]

No no one really has, though I can think of a few bands who were influenced by them such as "Love Club", and "Queen Adreena".

[swspiritchaser]

I loved this band but the back lash that they were a 80's post punk joke band always pissed me off.LOVE IS THE SLUG BABY.WHO CARES WHAT "THEY" SAY...

[Nouveauxromo]

Fab, Fab, Fab... I dig this song greatly. I love their out of tone, unpolished guitar post punk funky girl stance!...

[gobtv]

My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately, they went and polished everything after this...but it was good while it lasted.

[pinkyblueskies]

Wow... they sure don't make groups like this anymore... they're totally fab!

[strombeldenbar]

is this the group that did 'Loving You is like Winter in Alaska'?

[mrpezzhed]

I actually still have this cassette tape. Havent seen the video since the late eighties.

[Rumpio]

i loved that Cassette - i must've played it to death. Gotta love those close harmonies, and i think there was some talking too on the tape which was fun. Great band, but when they went all professional it was inevitable they wouldn't last long.

[IrishRogue66]

Never heard this one before, great song. Love the guitarist with the "Flock Of Seagulls" hair-do.

[mcdonchris]

Yeah Tina was just too cute.

[svenstrange]

love this... rox xxx

[marekgoth]

lol i used to date mags when they hung around with The Mission (UK)

[tommiatkins]

ViXX is singing with a new band ViXX and the Kicks.

She still rocks.

(and they did rules & regulations which blasted me right back to 86)

[mnemosynthe]

great song and really fun video! i've been looking for cd's but it's tough. ^^;

[patbrien]

Great video. Great song. Fuzzbox blew my socks off back in the days when I wore odd socks that didn't get come off very much, so ta :-0

b r e a k i n g n e w s c o u k

[gobtv]

Don't know what you were doing with come on your socks, but cheers anyway.

[patbrien]

It was an accident. I was listening to 'Boastin' Steve Austin,' whilst playing Twister. Wasn't the first time... What do you do on a Tuesday night?

[danilimdani]

damn....my friend borrowed they 1st album "big bang" never give it back to me...T_T

[gobtv]

The first, and by far the best, album was Bostin Steve Austin, which was original and quite brilliant.

[spacemanorange6]

saw them when they first started out. I had a monstrous haircut too at the time!! they eventually sold out! shame...

[sexywilder]

love fuzzbox reminds me of being a kid.

[Habibasse]

I've been so much listening to this. But never have seen their videos before. I knew they were some of the most sweet & funny girls of the 80's though !!!

[vixster0202]

Never heard of Fuzzbox? Shame on you! I love the way they still sang in their accents 'Siogn'! Vix is still going by the way and gigging!

[crowamonghens]

ah this vid always cracked me up. the bottomless bag and when jo tries to walk in the high heels hahaa

[gobtv]

Amusingly, Tina didn't get the bottomless bag thing at all. And Jo really couldn't walk in heels. It was a fun day.

hahah yet she laughs when she takes the cup of coffee out!
