Bucks Fizz - Land of Make Believe - TOTP 1981

[@redpillmicky]

Great childhood memories,of a time when children were allowed to be children

[@ianoliver7271]

Love it! Love it! Love it! Back in '81 this was one of my favourite songs and just loved Bucks Fizz. And here we are 42 years later and I still love this song! Unbelievable!

[@hottestbabe1000]

Its like we live on different planet today , the days of good music,chilhood,and happy days ,Times have changed we are much older and life is full of shit,all i can say is the young ones of today ,enjoy every minute,all the songs (you will look back one day) and all your school days live to the full ,before you know it you will be asking yourself where has time gone.

[@mightbesherlock3139]

hottestbabe1000 Spot on girl, never was there a more enlightened, enjoyable and wonderful time. If only every year could be 1981

[@michaelleacy]

That's a very depressing post. Be happy dear, if you're so depressed about your life today, change it. I'm happier now than i was in 1981 - no more school! Freedom! As for the music, well....nothing i can do about that

[@PaulTaylor1]

I still remember seeing this on TOTP that Thursday night. As a Cheryl Baker fan, I couldn't take my eyes off Jay in that wedding dress...!

[@alangraham5683]

What would we do without such good memories and good uplifting songs like this

[@isabellaing3597]

I don,t care how cheesy people say this is My guilty pleasure Still love it 💏💞💗😝😜

[@ChrisstineLynnn]

[@MrLesliegreen]

[@QammarMalik]

Bucks Fizz: Land of Make Believe...A touching song!

[@Dreamskater100]

So nice to grow up to this & TOTP.

[@greenisland75]

Thanks for posting this clip. Absolutely love Bucks Fizz. One of my favourite groups ever. Land of Make Believe would make No.1 in any era.

[@susanmowbray4669]

one of my first concerts at Blackpool pier aaah those were the days and yes soooo jealous of Jay gorgeous lol x

[@andrewvarndell8904]

great to see these old appearances....as sad as that sounds but they were one of the best brit pop groups of the 80s.end of.

[@melmaclean3261]

Ive always loved this song

[@tegbejeth]

Jay always did it for me! I`d have crawled over broken glass to spend a night with her.Still love her now and have her cd`s she is just a beauty, and still is, as her appearance on The Voice proved.Jay your awesome!!

[@RichXbox360]

I was only about 5 when this was in the charts originally, but I still fancied Cheryl Baker! LOL

[@o5h123]

Cheryl Baker. The most underrated woman of the 80s

[@graemepritchard8257]

Used to fancy her

[@pandaeyes42]

I normally prefer brunettes. Cheryl was an exception to the rule.

[@mikeprice9826]

bucks fizz were a top group in the day Cheryl & jay were stunners

[@ziggyjapan3652]

pure brilliant, I love it!

[@Captainnationalexpress247]

Happy Very Special Anniversary of their professional Career in making the difference for the global music production that brings the key of being the best musical singers in the world of royalty. 1981 -2021 What they done over the year is totally amazing for the world to shine up the gear of insperational genearations which is confident enough for them to be in charge of their loyalty of trust. What a amazing celbration of their perfect career in the land of fanasty. These singers are the top mostdecent bands in the musical history of Europrofession of Royal Musical Arts. Blast from Old School to New School Generations.

[@MrLesliegreen]

Gosh! what days they were will never see them again. Great group and that girl in the wedding dress.........!!! Thank You posting this.

[@Traveller69]

I have always thought that they didn't actually realise how brilliant this song was and haven't ever since. ❤

[@1960janey]

this reminds me of a night in liverpool all those years ago when this was playing, ive never forgotten it, it was BRILLIANT, this track reminds me.

[@Nikolasnegr]

Great Song 80S Life Perfect******

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

This must have been played at every kids' birthday party around 1981 and 1982, as well as the Birdy Song.

[@Dreamskater100]

Yes definitely. Certainly mine & the ones I went to in the 80s and my 10th.

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

In 1983 at my friend Paul's seventh birthday party, both songs stuck in my mind. That along with sausages on sticks, jelly and ice cream and blow football.

[@pjangels609]

But the lyrics are kinda dark. Escapism? Or bash on Thatcher and Reagan?

[@KaisGtnEwan]

blimey this takes me back

[@jameswyse8250]

Interesting just seen this on BBC2 programme The Story of 1982. Lyrics written by Peter Sinfield from rock group King Crimson. Despite the sugar coating the song had darker meaning with Something nasty in your garden referring to the Thatcher government at the time...

[@adamjayewardene282]

jay ashton in a wedding dress fit fit fit

[@antscully9314]

i was 15 then,wheres the time gone...

[@nemonoo]

I remember being 5 years old and being horrified when the girls pulled their skirts off halfway through Making Your Mind Up! The innocence! :)

[@147bertocchini]

reminds me so much of my childhood this song....

[@donnalomas5578]

Bestest songs ever they were the days

[@Dreamskater100]

Still love it.

[@Helvett222]

Cool song probably as good as that by which won the eurovision song contest

[@jojolawler6419]

Fond childhood memories

[@hasprey]

RIP Benny Harvey

[@psm-rq3xk]

Possibly my favourite song from my childhood

[@MrLesliegreen]

With those two young women, in The Land of Make Believe I want too go there. Great song.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Jay really working it here !!

[@Hellsconsort]

I love their happy wavey dance they do.

[@terrytibbs1593]

Just love Cheryl and Jay

[@catherinecathy0775]

I was EIGHT, & it's still 1 of my favourites!

[@diptipatel525]

*Loved Bucks Fizz* *and now l am moving on...*

[@robertlemuel1577]

I'm from America never played this song here but it's a catchy tune I like it

[@sebabaron6082]

super classic

[@rjmcallister1888]

Peter Pan never looked more fetching than being portrayed by Cheryl Baker, and I imagine Jay got a few proposals in that outfit; I also imagine the BBC didn't want them in their original outfits for this song, where Jay and Cheryl had just enough on to keep the censors happy. Pete Sinfield and Andy Hill wrote what Sinfield called a clever rebuke of the Thatcher administration; wasn't released over in the US until 1982, from an LP called "Bucks Fizz". They apparently mashed the first two albums together over here and really didn't promote it.

[@Asia1Alpha]

God I miss my childhood.....!!

Better than gangsta rap any day

[@willnotallow1]

Let's face it: Jay was at the front of the queue when they handed out sexy!

[@gerryfinn4868]

Cheryl was ahead of her. Only my opinion

[@jaywest3734]

Cheesy band, but they actually made a pretty damn good song here.

[@berlinmitte10117]

I seem to remember Jay going on stage somewhere having 'forgotten' her underwear. Hmmm - wish I had been at that show lol. Great song anyway!

[@paulawilliams8168]

I was 8 and I think I must have worn out the single I got for my bday.

[@ChynnaDahl]

Such a cute group! Bobby G without his shirt!

[@sheisveryfamous]

OMG. I just realised it wasn’t a jumper 🤯

[@pab70]

Cheryl Baker is a fine figure of a woman and anyone who disagrees with me, I shall have to ask you to step outside!!

[@TonyW1000]

I always thought you was one and now you confirmed it. LOL

[@sharpkev]

@scotsmaninusa , ha ha ur a legend mate

[@U2QuoZepplin]

I guess Cheryl Lost out to Jay and drew the short straw when it came to who got the wedding dress, poor thing and was stuck with the Peter Pan costume. lolz And Poor Mike Nolan forgot his shirt! hah..... maybe Bobby thieved it? rofl!

[@michaelleacy]

It was Jay herself who came up with these costumes, but Cheryl wanted the playful sort of look, hence her outfit. In fact, from this point on, Jay designed all their looks and apparently Cheryl was hard to please

[@micasteer9475]

Anyone listen in 2019 .

[@Tomgsxr1000]

we'll,. i think their good, and so is this clip.... Tom

[@MrJackandy123]

i like the lads........JUST JOKING.........but they need a mention.

IT'S ABOUT THATCHER

[@charlieminaj2]

When jimmy savele was rife

[@racketman2u]

Britain's proof that they can be as cheesy as the Swedes any day.

[@celesteklose4903]

Former lives of Steps.

[@MrAlwaysBlue]

Put your hand up if you cracked a few ham shanks over Jay and Cheryl as a teenager back in the day.

[@SloopyDog]

My hands up.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

i wouldve if i wasnt 8 believe me

[@bebopdelux10]

You bet.

[@simlee6269]

my hand is up....other is doing summat else

[@metafis2490]

+MrAlwaysBlue well, as a teenager back then, The poster of Jay I had on my wall certainly helped me sleep at night.

[@craigsimons817]

Jay Aston looked like a trouble maker and she was. Replaced by the lovely Shelley Preston.

[@mickfizz1]

Both Jay and Shelley were in Bucks Fizz at different times and now Jay is back with Cheryl and Mike and happily so!

[@barrygough1322]

stoppit all of you! even though i thoroughly agree!

[@kevinwhite1185]

It's not trashy pop. It is written by Pete Sinfield who was in King Crimson. It is like Progressive rock ha ha. Love it though

[@timebandit71]

a more innocent time...

[@RB_Ricky2000]

😊

[@derbbus]

Those two girls were really pretty..............Cheryl and Jay aren't bad either .

[@gretakournikova5031]

Bucks fizz Vs the human League...who ranks higher?

[@WSMDSA]

In her prime Cheryl Baker was extremely fit.

[@VikingLad]

Oh chill out Mate ffs! Where were you brought up? In a damn Monastrey???? LIGHTEN UP!!!!

[@kmc2090]

just struck me but the melody is kind of like the theme from cannibal holocaust

[@knotval]

@lee23404 oh, me too!!!!!

[@designingsequences]

Jay Aston, always got the prettier clothes to wear and Cheryl Baker always got the bad ones. Jay always seems to find the camera with an 'Oh look at me' look!'

[@annmitchell4663]

designingsequences See the one Cheryl wore on the video..two pieces of black leather joined by shoelaces..she looked amazing.

[@zanducktv2398]

Jay designed a lot of their outfits, and in a feature in Number One magazine about them, she said Cheryl liked pretty, cute things while she always went for something more sexy. She comes from a theatrical family, and said from a young age she was used to seeing ladies on stage in just bikinis. Have you seen the performance of If You Can’t Stand The Heat from some German pop show where Jay’s in what looks like leather bondage gear! She wore it at gigs around the same time too. Then there’s her performances of Easy Love and When We Were Young, wowsers! 🥵

[@davidrowe1787]

Eh??? I don't understand your line of response? Jay is pure unadulterated dirt, how could anyone deny that? she would test the discipline of even the hardiest of monks........... and as for Cheryl, my opinion remains the same, totally out of place in a cheesy 80s pop band.

[@muscleboi4use]

I always thought Jay Aston looked easy and Cheryl Baker looked cheesy! Still, there was a time when Cheryl Baker was the most famous Cheryl in all of Great Britain (wonder if Cheryl Cole's mother named her after Cheryl Baker, now wouldn't that be something!!!) LOVE this song though!

[@torquay08]

That mike Nolan far right showing off his body ? 😃

[@PBayee34]

That's Bobby G actually

[@beckybeck3711]

Bucks Fizz couldn't hold a candle to Abba, but they were fun anyways...

[@ahillesq001]

+You're right....I wrote all of Bucks Fizz stuff and it was never as good as AbbA! Andy X

[@mickfizz1]

+Andy H... you and Nichola did great stuff, Andy... thank you!

[@mickfizz1]

+Becky Beck .. i love both Abba and Bucks Fizz ...cheers

[@mickfizz1]

It was always great stuff, Andy ...just in a much different way! Thank you.

[@mickfizz1]

Martin when this Fizz song was a hit in 1981/82 Abba hadn't completely stopped, as a few singles from them were still being released that year in the 1981/1982 period.
