Fuzzbox - "Walking On Thin Ice" (1989)

Fourth single and video from the surprise hit "Big Bang" is a nice cover of Yoko's 1981 single.

After seeing this video all those years ago I decided to dye my hair red - still red today!

[@MrTRN80]

Great cover song by Fuzzbox.

Super hits Fuzzbox Bravie!

[@brittania1974]

I loved Fuzzbox, they were different for the time, their colorful military inspired rock outfits were superb. Good job ladies 😉

[@dc7827]

Brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!!! C

Never knew Fuzzbox covered this Yoko Ono classic! You live and learn.

[@95thFoot]

I'd forgot how much I liked this group. They should have stayed together, but they straddled yet another mass change of tastes and styles, and found themselves on a lee shore, as it were.

[@mazlanbasharudin3764]

They could've been as famous as Duran Duran

[@fionag.3621]

Thoughts: 1. Vix is so stunning. Great video! 2. I really like the dreamy production style. 3. I think I am going to listen to "Big Bang" again...

My favorite winter song indeed

John Lennon's wife Yoko Ono sang this song originally in 1980

[@smithofsmiths1872]

This had quite a Gothic sound to it, and was acted out with a sense of feeling and drama. The problem was that it was quite a departure for Fuzzbox after what had gone immediately before. A very underrated song. Not better than the original, but just as good.

Lucky I found this again thank you! I had it as an original and the spoken bridge was in English. Two other versions exist with the bridge in Japanese and German-and they are both posted here too!

[@leopold7562]

Wait, what? They did a version with the Japanese bits in English? Holy crap, it's been thirty years and this is the first I've heard of it.

[@andrewmoran8333]

Theres a version with the Japanese bits in German too

[@luxford60]

Not a song I remember from when it was released. I bought the first album, and saw them o the tour promoting it, but wasn't so keen on the singles from the second one at the time.

[@nuwavething]

vix was the sexiest member of fuzzbox.

[@davidsaunders7950]

This was a very risky track to release as a single.

[@bondbug73]

Three big hit singles and then this? I don't remember this one. In hindsight, a wrong choice to release as a single. Fast Forward Futurama and Versatile for Disco's and Parties, for it's heavy Fairlight CMI use would have been better as single releases. Stunning woman is Vicky.

[@paultopfitness8661]

They would have continued to have hits if this wasn't their forth single. Good version of this song but not really single worthy. Fast Forward Futurarama would have been a better choice.

[@VanielDeeform]

Angel Diablo Know what you mean as it's a big departure from the others, however I think the song & video is beautiful, so I'm glad they released it. Just need it in HD like the others!

[@sebastianmontagu3073]

I agree, the record company made a mistake releasing this as the fourth single. I was not happy. Fast Forward Futurama or Irish Bride would've continued the Top 40 success. I like this but it's not a single.

[@leopold7562]

@@sebastianmontagu3073 Very true, but I suspect the band didn't want to be cast as some bubblegum pop outfit and used this to demonstrate that they were capable of other styles. Maybe a move better made after they'd cemented their position as a credible contemporary group, but there you go.

[@DizzyKizzy64]

@@sebastianmontagu3073 I loved Irish Bride, great song.

[@seabreeze9296]

can't beat Yoko Ono's version

[@MommaWolf1967]

Yoko and John Lenn wrote this song in 1980 and there version is better than Fuzz Box version Sorry!

[@leopold7562]

I shan't argue with you. But I do like this version a lot.

[@DizzyKizzy64]

Well I agree john Lennon,s guitar is wonderful but it's the only thing Yoko has done that was good and it had to have been written by Lennon cause she's a twat.

[@kiss.me.monster]

@Alan Cogan They had just completed the recording on the day Lennon was murdered. He had the master tape in his hand when he was shot.
