The Revillos - Bitten by a Love Bug

[@ni66o]

Vince Santini on bass (Dennis Schiavon) RIP mate, gonna miss you

[@jerrybailey5797]

Gotta love tye Revillos/ Rezillos , great songs 🎵 👌 👍

[@stevencook6750]

The EMI years, an extra layer of 80s gloss evident, two singles were released, an album was recorded but sadly went unreleased.

[@devilinthenewman]

A version of the lost EMI album was eventually released about 20 years later on Captain Oi Records. Jungle of Eyes. Some good tracks in it.

Always loved fay just cant believeshe looks even hotter

[@l.salisbury1253]

I met Faye at a Rezillos union show in Washington DC in 2015. I asked if they'd be doing any Revillos songs. No. (Too bad.) She was very friendly (LUV that Scottish accent!) and was happy to autograph my "Can't Stand the Rezillos" LP!

[@Itsmypartyonline]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@999therocker]

Faye & Eugene can do no wrong. Top notch vocals and songwriting. Great videos and ideas. Really creative and would have been much bigger in a more perfect world.

[@GrtSatan]

Irresistible power pop perfection.

[@khyberkarn]

Fabulous just love this !

[@esesenordenegro2064]

¿The Revillos? I can't believe it!!

[@ddmd80]

Love it!

[@Turtle152]

Fay's hair is immaculate.

[@TCHMVelo]

Cool!

[@rhiannonk3176]

I've never heard of this band. Were they only popular in England? I would have listened to them back in the 1980s.

[@devilinthenewman]

The Rezillos still tour and released a new album in 2015. Their new material is a bit more punkier than this song. They toured the US and UK a few times recently.

[@rhiannonk3176]

+devilinthenewman - Two problems with that. (1) I'm Canadian, not a yank, and (2) I've been living in Asia since 2001. The pop music scene here is sooooo safe and dull that anything interesting is worth a listen, new or old.

[@BookimCrocker]

Billy Idol on drums !!!Some band.

[@antoinelefeuvre4138]

the bassline make me think of "hitsville uk" from the clash....

[@devilinthenewman]

Yeah, lots of tunes owe a debt to the old Motown sounds, especially the bass.

[@dennisschiavon9022]

You're absolutely right. I was the bass player, and co-wrote the song - and yes, I'd just listened to 'Hitsville UK'. Spot on! :)

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

If you could reload this again with the sound synched more closely with the video it would be really appreciated. I assume the video has been mixed with the audio from the single?

[@devilinthenewman]

Hi, this was as good as I could get it. The video footage had a few jumps in it and the sound was very poor. So it resulted in it becoming less synced as it went on.

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

Well a decent editing tool could synch the two by slowing the video a degree or so. It would be worth doing. Sony Vegas Pro can do it. It would be best to see them as it was originally shown on telly at the time.

[@devilinthenewman]

@@yereverluvinuncleber I neither have the tools or the know how to do what you suggest. I'll leave it to someone else out there.

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

OK, I'll do it when I have time.

[@danscott3880]

I hear a motown. Thing ...

[@dersco8558]

Great Scottish band , that’s right Scottish

[@stupididiot369]

Der Sco ......Eugene Reynolds (Alan Forbes) is English .

[@davidk8626]

@@stupididiot369... and is his brother on drums... but if you're really saying the Revillos are an English band ? Nah. If you looked through the stained glass windows of Edinburgh, that's where all this started. ... And by the way. They (the Revillos) were the best band live I've ever seen. (really ? Really !) Marquee club to Bungalow Bar. In their hayday, nothing came close .... it was way out there. They were from another planet... seriously !

[@AlexAtEight]

Quite a few of the members over the years were English

[@teddiebernard]

They look like they're being held at gun point this entire video. I enjoy it but definitely something seems... off in their energy.

[@fomalhaut9]

I think anyone would be a bit off the boil having to mime at lunchtime on Pebble Mill

Cracking tune from Shin Bone Fever kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqu9gZenebSHnpIsi=JL9s0-uuY3gJTzuF

[@calebbasile2219]

That’s the same chick from rezillos right

[@devilinthenewman]

Correct. This was the band that was formed after the Rezillos split up in 1978.

[@calebbasile2219]

Oh ok cool

[@TheBerzerker666]

Should of stayed as the rezillos and stayed more rock,revillos are good but not as good as the rez,too poppy but i suspect nicky would of said ‘hey,lets do some pork dukes covers’ or at least in my dreams 🤔😃.ps i would of married fay she was hot hot hot

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

Should 'have'. Would 'have'. Damn, your English needs some correction.

[@Nellywetlegs]

I don't think they could keep the name, I'm sure it was something to do with copyright.

[@ConanDuke]

The worst thing they ever dud.

[@devilinthenewman]

Nah.

[@MikeSamuelsII-ve8gp]

Not my fav song but Fay looks exceptional in this viddy.
