Tight Fit - Fantasy Island (1982)

Tight Fit with their 1982 hit Fantasy Island. It reached No.5 in the UK in May '82. Tight Fit were Steve Grant, Julie Harris (the blonde one) and Denise Gyngell. I don't own the rights to this music. Just for the enjoyment of the youtube viewers.

I don't care what anyone says - this is an exceptional pop song.

[@mirandafriday4023]

Right with you giving me chills listening to it. Miming the words

[@magenta4747]

I'm with you

[@alihart]

It's quite a clever song, combining the styles of ABBA and ELO - two of the biggest bands at the time

[@paulfuray8557]

Something so ABBAesque about this

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

Rock critics used to trash good pop, as here, but, who cares about Pink Floyd anymore?

[@frankly-he1kf]

The ABBA sound is here....

[@carmelcream7662]

Perfect ABBA song great melody.;)

[@Thebeginningofwisdom863]

Great forgotten song. A mixture of ABBA, Bucks Fizz and the Nolans

[@djzeederbyshire2932]

agreed, when it first came out and I was 7, I thought it was Bucks Fizz...

[@stuartbrown25]

i remember this great track from my childhood years, fantastic video too. the 1980's were truly great years for sure...

[@acolyte4524]

I’m getting chills all over my body, I thought I was never going to find this song.

[@simonplatts7571]

Try to get the album it's worth a listen

[@Mike.Howard]

I don't honestly know when I last heard this song (easily over 30+ years ago), but still found myself singing along! Strange how your memory works...

[@mikekaraoke]

30 + years, come on where you been hiding then a cave lol

[@Mike.Howard]

@@mikekaraoke Lets just say, not listening to Tight Fit...

[@mikekaraoke]

@@Mike.Howard Not a very good excuse, plenty of songs you can still hear/listen to without wanting to listen/see them 🙄 Example: I was in HMV 2 weeks ago in Kent, and this was blasting out in the shop and outside the shop you could hear it 🤷🏻‍♂

I remember singing and dancing to this at playtime with my best friend in Junior School, I'm 50 years old now. Lovely memory.

I heard this on the radio in the car yesterday and omg!! These were pop songs, not like the tutt of today. Great song, love it xx

ANOTHER UNDERATED SONG AND A FUTURE CLASSIC

[@AwangRoyale]

I still love this song of Tight Fit , I remember when I was in high school days ❤️

[@syritabhutta6796]

Me too gluta white. I was 12 in 1982 and I still love it 💖

[@garrywallace1007]

The chorus is so ABBA!!!!

[@23polgara]

Always been my guilty pleasure this track.

[@chloesdad1000]

Yes, I bought this record. Actually still a good pop song.

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

I love it because it reminds me of ABBA.

[@davidneraas750]

Defenently the harmonies in the chorus very Abba like:).

[@summerbayexile]

One of those songs that can't help but make you smile. I much preferred this to The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The absolute epitome of 80s pop!

[@matthewbarton4542]

Love this song❤

[@Clara-ph7my]

I remember this and The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Never forgotten to me♥ The male vocalist looks a bit like a young Tom Cruise.

[@francesshaw8446]

Love the chorus. Would have loved to hear Abba do this ❤

[@richallenxbox1976]

Back in the day I wanted both those back up singers to have my babies, and 41 years later I still would.

[@charlesgarrett3283]

One of the great forgotten tunes of the early 80s. Production by Tim Friese-Green who went on to spread his magic on Talk Talk's next couple of albums. Listen to It's my life by Talk Talk and you will notice the similar vibe in both tunes. Brilliant.

[@DarylAnnDeRoche]

I heard this at Boston Pizza with my husband on Valentine's Day.... I assumed it was ABBA until we used an app to detect the song & singer.... wow

[@stevegasparutti8341]

This was a Eurovison song by a Dutch band that never made it to the contest as it came second in their own Song for Europe. Probably a winner - if only

[@Helstar74]

It had some arrangement and vocal problems, in all fairness. This is the new and improved 2.0 version ! Fixed all the original flaws to near perfection !

[@leighlester3857]

OMG took me back I so was in love with Steve

[@martinjanicek9960]

pecka! Dnes ji zahral v Lahůdkářství na Color music rádiu Jakub Melín! Zní jako Abba 😊👍📻🦻

Ah the memories of being in high school when this clip was first previewed on _COUNTDOWN_ back in '82

For some reason I started singing this after not even hearing it anywhere x

[@perromalo68]

A Perfect blend between ABBA and E.L.O

[@altinsilsile36]

Sounds so much like ABBA.

[@temporaryname8905]

I'm a bit afraid of what the thumbs up will do to my KZbin feed but I'm going on! I was watching a famous Age of Empires 2 player's KZbin upload of his Twitch stream of Age of Empires 4. In that video a person donated or something and 3 seconds of The Lion Sleeps Tonight played. I looked up who sang that song and found this group's video of it. Then I learned in that video he wasnlip singing so wondered what his voice really sounded like and here I am.

[@gm4014]

Great song/ the video quality adds some artistic feel.

[@BridgLondon]

The song was the runner-up in the 1982 Netherlands heat of the Eurovision Song Contest where it was performed by a group called The Millionaires. The song that the Dutch sent instead came . . . err, 16th!

[@irissyl2962]

Wrong. False. 1982 Netherlands was performed by Bill van Dijk. The song was Jij en ik.

I was only 8 when this came out and seeing for the first time on TV and then having the record looking at the girls in the group and listening to the song I always thought it was Abba not Tight Fit.
