Go on then - I'd say that bird with the black skirt was pretty classic (the one that rips and reveals some legsssssssss).

Classic, though less orange juice in mine please. Oh you mean the band: big fat dudski, (unless compared to this year's British euro entry of course) Having said that, Land of Make Believe and The Camera Never Lies were pretty catchy. Didn't the latter have one of those terrible mid-80's fake stutters on it: 'The Cam The Cam The Cam' closely followed by a key-change or did I imagine that?

The Fizz rule!'Making your Mind up','Piece of the Action','My Camera never Lies'(my fave)& 'Land of Makebelieve'are all fantastic.Great production from Andy Hill.

From "Piece of the Action" to "London Town" was a fantastic run of singles from Da Fizz!!! Great tunes, and production that's more Max Martin than Pete Waterman!!!!! If you can get the contemporaneous "Greatest Hits", (Which buries "Making Your Mind Up" near the end of side 1, and then follows it with the ace Sparks homage "When We Were Young"!!!!) then you can hear Bucks Fizz as they really were at the time, and not as the "They-Won-Eurovision-With-Their-Detachable-Miniskirts!!!" revisionist idiots from "I Luv 1981 Even I was Minus Four At the Time"- or whatever the current crap TV received-opinions nostalgiafest is today- would have you believe!!!

Their later year are more interesting (not musically) as they got the guy from Dollar in as a replacement and he proceeded to ruin everything Bucks Fizz stood for by making their stage show smutty and disregarding the family entertainment element that was integral to the Fizz.

Well that’s according to the documentary I saw. There are now two Bucks Fizz's touring the land and they are locked in litigation. So make sure which one you are getting before you go see them. So I say classic for that.
