Bucks Fizz - Piece of the Action

[@Fabio_Morales8]

In my country, El Salvador 🇸🇻, they were very popular from the beginning! They were in the hit list those years. I was a little kid when I first heard of them, 40 years later I still listening to them.

[@jonfury9292]

In my time machine I would set it to 1980 have 10 years and repeat for eternity.

[@coreforce9872]

well that would get boring pretty fast id set it to 20 years cuz the 90’s were rad too

[@JohnS0937]

@@coreforce9872 nah that would get boring after a bit I’d set it for 30 years and start it at 1970 because the 70s were pretty rad too

I bought the single version in Germany in 1981, i played it more than 20 times in a row. :-)What a great song, olthough i didnt understand the lyrics at that time. Greetings

[@geoffreymeddick6537]

Another class song from bucks fizz ❤

[@senga8298]

Jeez, I totally forgot how many brilliant songs Buck’s Fizz had! So glad I grew up with u guys, and all these years later, I’m still listening to these songs! Love it ! X

[@terratec1001]

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.

[@zanducktv2398]

I love the inventive intros of their songs. Not just the singles, album tracks too. This, Land of Make Believe, Are You Ready, Breaking and Entering, My Camera Never Lies, What Am I Gonna Do, If You Can’t Stand The Heat, Run For Your Life, London Town, When The Love Has Gone, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4, Cold War, Rules of the Game, You & Your Heart So Blue, for example.

[@brian7193]

What am i gonna do was the b side of my camera never lies and i thought it was a great song just like you love love ,i do it all for you,and my personal fave that i thought would be a great single love dies hard

[@zanducktv2398]

@ Yeah, Bobby and Jay’s vocals are really crisp and clear. Love Dies Hard is amazing, do you know the story about Mike wanting the lead but he got Now those days are gone instead!

[@clivestanley66]

great pop song from a very good group, people forget they had a lot of good quality singles in the 80s

[@J.P.Robles]

This is from the 80s? Why did I think that this song was from the 70s?

[@djm9524]

It’s early 80s, so the 70s look is still a bit there. Great song. Didn’t have great chart success but plenty of airplay and memorable.

[@donrevie721]

Why on earth would anyone thumbs down this ? ! Pure joy 😃

[@vHumboldt77]

Lots of people your age feel the same when they come across bands from the 70s and 80s. Great discoveries! Well done.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

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.

[@jboi9309]

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]

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.

[@KendraKanary]

13 and yet I think this is way better than anything else today! This is sooo awesome! Love them so much! 💖❤️

[@Dee_Lite263]

Forget your S club 7s, steps 🤦and hearsay, Bucks fizz were flying the flag for mixed groups like ABBA and writing their own stuff or having input, made sure they got a good end of the deal and wasn't solely reliant on one member being the main singer, each one stood out in their own way and made the group great.

[@viceroy30]

Jay Aston is soooooo beautiful and so so talented,my eyes automatically follow her on any bucks video, jay still looks as gorgeous now as she did in 1981 !!!!

[@Jrhynie]

Couldn't agree more, she looks really good for her age.

[@rjjcms1]

And she can do the splits.

[@amyclarke41]

I like jay as a person but find Cheryl too cosy I never fancied them or the blokes until I was 14 I fancied bobby as he looked like Paul McCartney in my eyes I also fancied Paul McCartney yep also I fancied matt Smith as dr who yep I am odd!🤣

[@christopherdavies9483]

Got to say awesome song to. So bloody catchy.

[@dannycostello1978]

Always a good one this.

[@davidrover62]

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.

[@zanducktv2398]

davidrover62 I remember the I Hear Talk vid being shown, but not the group appearing on the show themselves, maybe that segment was edited out, due to the coach crash. 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!

[@paulstuart6372]
