I was 12 and my home was miserable with alcoholic violent parents. This song meant a lot to me at the time. The 80s were incredible for music and freedom. I feel so lucky I got to be young in the 80s.
Same here. Had an awful home life. Was songs like this that helped me through.
So sorry you had such a bad time I hope you've found some happiness in adulthood. Bucks Fizz were pure fun as was most of the 80s - we were lucky to be young then - they were globally more positive times. Stay strong and keep listeingin to the best of the 80s - I find it a boost.
That’s shit. I hope you’re both happier now.
I had violent parents back then and I didn't shed a single tear when my mother died and after she had gone my father went from being violent to needing me but I have the upper hand now and he Denys any violence that he did to me I'm 56 and he is 81
Bless you. I hope life is going better for you now ❤
April 2024 !! Listening to a tune from 43 years ago and suddenly my thoughts and dreams are back in 1981..❤
me too
Who's listening to this in may 2024 😅
Wish I could go back to 81. I was 21yrs old and had just got married. Loved this song. Years have went by like a blink of an eye.
Wish i look as good as you do! I was 21 in 1981 too! 😂
Your still a beautiful woman .
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU I WAS ALSO 21 HAPPY DAYS UNLIKE NOW
@@olivercromwell5732 i started school in 1981. Seems like such a long time ago. Misty memories.
@@tonygunk8261 yes memories are all we have left of times gone by
I remember those days. Mum and dad were still alive and had the future to look forward to. Now I'm middle aged and alone. Ah well. I've still got my memories.😢
The 80s were such an incredible time for music, where songs and groups were not all manufactured via Simon Cowell, but there was innovation and true talent. Being a teenager or in our 20s during this time was just such fun, discos, dancing, slow dances and kisses, great music. So nostalgic to hear this, I'm transported back to a time of being care free and a much simpler life.
Some of the most awful dribble and absolute shite music was in the 80s .you seem to forget the music industry was run by a handful of people just like Simon Cowell who churned out shite after shite after shite year after year. Oh boohoo music was much better in the 80s .it was in my arse ffs 😂
Tamar and I have been trying 👍 and a very good one 👍 and a very good one 👍 👏 and a
Jola? i agree with you in 100%
The Butlins and Pontins 80s weekenders have The Fizz performing quite regular, Ive seen them about four times in 12 months.. and will be in Prestatyn Pontins this July.. also performing is Go West, Toyah, Dr and the Medics and DJ set with Martin Kemp...
1980s music doesn't come anywhere close to music of the late 1950s and 1960s
Oh! We lived in England then and never missed "Top of the Pops" on Thursday nights. Bucks Fizz was a favorite. This is total childhood nostalgia.
TOTP was a British staple in British households back in the day. Miss those days.
I lived in Wales between November 1971 and April 1982. Watching TOTP was a favourite and I definitely remember seeing Bucks Fizz performing this song. Ah bliss!
@@jameslevens2121 it was always the first thing my household circled in the TV guide (along with The Krypton Factor of course!
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 Why not!!
Still here-69 years old-still listening to this great music-far superior to todays rap/crap!
Lol made me laff 🤣
Definitely my friend, couldn't agree with you more!
I agree
80's were the time for partying, living life & enjoying music like this those years are gone but never forgotten.
If only I could turn back time & go back to the 80s for the music! Happy memories😊🥰
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And the guys looked cute to me. 😏

Time saddens me knowing I'll never be able to turn back the clocks :( I'm grateful to CZcams these days :D
CZcams, the closest thing we have to a time machine...
I know what you mean
@@MJ.71 it certainly is Mike 👍
If only we could go back.
@@darrenm8526 me too. Whenever I listen to this beautiful song nowadays, it makes me cry because I remember how it was back then and I try to compare it to what's happening now. You can see that everyone in this video, from Bucks Fizz themselves to the audience, is looking happy and having fun. I wish I could go back to this happy part of my childhood.
Some music never dies and this is one of them
Classic
One of the best 80's songs ever .. & there was a lot ❤❤❤
@@ianjordan6396- oh I so agree 🎉
40 years later and still desperately in love with Cheryl!
I get chills over how brilliant this is
catchy Rhytym and Nice looking People,i love it too here in Holland also Nr 1
Get a jumper 😂
Unbelievable. Soothes you
Cheryls dress!!! what a bod!!
I get chills too 😊😊😊
This never gets old!! ❤ this song, even still
One of the best groups in the 80s , fantastic song, beats any music today, Bobby G is a fantastic guy
I grew up in Belfast it was tough and hard through 70s and 80s you had to learn how to fight and win but I learned how to win and fight very quick But music was good loved back then
Hi, have you ever heard of Freddie Scappaticci?.
I was having a hard time at my horrible school back in late 1981, but when I hear this all I remember is the snow and frost everywhere at the time (Northern England) and the magic of Christmas and New Year in the early 80s, what feels like a millennium ago.
Aww I liked this 🎵 2
Good memory. That 81- 82 was a brutal winter
@@eightiesmusic1984 ...and You were the Headmaster....
Me too 😔
Harmless, fun music from a better age.
Harmless? Let's take a look at the lyrics:
"Shadows, tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper will you come and play
Not for all the tea in China
Or the corn in Carolina
Never, never ever
They're running after you babe"
and
"Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently, till it can have your heart
Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you running
Keep on running
They're running after you babe"
and
"I've got a friend who comes to tea
And no-one else can see but me
He came today
But had to go
To visit you
You never know"
@@michelesimula3714 It's like a kind of children's folklore fairytale, full of wisdom, darkness and so on.
@@EgoShredder a tale of the unexpected dipped in reggae sauce XD
I love their outfits in this video. I also wish we would still have music like this today. I was a teenager/young adult in the 80s, and the music from back then is still a big part of me now.
Remember that, when I was a child in Germany . The Brits danced to it in a disco on Ibiza ans All nations sang to it especially my parents. So good !
I lived in Berlin when this was number 1.
The best song Bucks Fizz ever did. It still sounds just as good and so well produced.
agree
Indeed
Still one of the greatest pop songs ever
I find this to be an incredibly sad song... the loss of childhood, dreams, hopes, imagination.
Happiness in a song.
It is actually an anti-Thatcher metaphor penned by lyricist Peter Sinfield. The music, yes, is very happy.
Who else lives their life in the 80's?
I wish we could rewind the clock and choose better global leaders because the 80s were great...
One of the best ever songs of all time!!!!! ❤️❤️ Who’s here in 2020?
Meeeee haa reminds me of xmas wen I got fuckalllll
Indeed, also I love allSTARS* and Blogos Mergaites (on Lithuanian language) covers.
Hi hi ok hi ok
mee, it is on my playlist all the time
I'm here!!
We had best music 80s my kids all in there 20s brought up on this era of music and love it
hard to believe it was 40 years ago
Still here...Oct 2019.... and I know all the words !! 😃
I used to have the "Merry Christmas" picture gatefold sleeve edition of this. Bought it back in December 1981 when I worked at HMV. It's a brilliant song. Plus I also remember all the words too!
Me too 🧚♀️
bandiflip Me too and all the moves too x
Barbara Brown Prove it 😁
love this song and band
I was 10yrs old, and had such a crush on Cheryl, she's still good looking now, in her 60s.
But watching this video, I'm nearly 50 😭😭 and I now actually think Jay was the most stunning...
No mike u were right first time round
Cheryl was always my favourite.
I think about half the boys in Britain were in love with Cheryl at one point (still am!) 🙂
Arguably one of the catchiest tunes to any pop song.A joy to listened to and you can tell they love performing it
Cheryl Baker can't believe she's in her 60s and still gorgeous beautiful 😍❤️😘💋
Some songs refuse to age❤
Music from the 60's to 80's was so good beats all the crap they wanna play these days.......
So true 👍
A lot of great memorable music.
This song meant a lot to me, when I were a kid and went through a hard and difficult period of my life.
☺️☺️☺️☺️
THIS SONG MIGHT BE 37 YEARS OLD BUT IT'S AS FRESH TODAY AS IT WAS BACK THEN . AND IS STILL MY FAVE SINGLE BY THIS BRILLIANT BAND
Debbie I love You!!!!
it was 37 years ago this week that this song became number 1 knocking human league off the top spot, it was the coldest and snowiest December ever recorded in Britain do you remember it ? it was 1981 and a golden year from a golden decade ?
@@patsquires3654 Yes indeed!!! 80s was Golden music decade for me too!!😄
@@patsquires3654 Hi Pat, I remember it well the country grind to a halt. Momentous when they won Eurovision. A fab year and decade as you state , also liked Pet Shop boys and from 1981 also liked Japananese Boy sung by Ankea. The list is endless..Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands
Takes me back , my ex long term girlfriend used to dance to this and had the same hairstyle as Jay Aston . sadly years later she passed away aged 40 from Cancer whilst married to someone else . We were very close and this great song just transports me back to those days .
🙏💙😢
Sorry for your loss. Clearly she will always be in your heart. My first real love, married someone else & I know that the day I hear he is gone (unless I go first of course) I'm going to be devastated x
Musically, I think I’m still stuck in this generation. This song is just a timeless vibe ❤
Nearly 40 years ago 🙁 How time and life flies by in a flash.....
So true. Time flies.
Where has it all gone.....! Time flys
I was 4😂😂, Wish i could go back to this period, no phones, internet just biking and football
Why cant music stay like this instead of the rap violence rnb shit that is coming out now
We only remember the good, but forget the crap that also came out at that time, i dare you to look up the blooby song
@@alexdavis-mann8513 Blobby?
@@sodd1000 czcams.com/video/rNkgDJpcuwU/video.html
@@alexdavis-mann8513 It wasn't aggressive or violent though, was it? Of course there was crap, but it was innocent crap.
@@alexdavis-mann8513 Yes well I know myself who Blobby is. It is just that you spelt it Blooby. Maybe it is me, but I think not.
This song is so brilliant. Loved it back then and still do. - Greetings from Germany ❤
I adore adore adore this song.... from the first time I heard it and saw this video back then,
Bons tempos que não voltam mais!
In the heart there is still a magical time. It was an incredible pleasure to grow up among such songs 💜
Very well said Ewa.
Magiczny czas , magiczne lata które nie wrócą, chciałbym żyć jeszcze raz w tych czasach.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie ❤❤❤❤
Pozdrawiam serdecznie ❤❤❤❤
39yrs ago, happy times and now lockdown unbelievable. Makes me sad bring on back the good times x
Makes me sad too
Doesn't Jay look stunning! Great song. Fizz forever 💜
what a song this was , early 80s, we loved it.
This song always reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid, makes more sense now that the song was released in November 1981 and was no 1 in January 1982. Happy memories, that are never fully appreciated when you are growing up.
True comment that - IKR.
reminds me of the Yorkshire ripper getting caught in 81
@@aus80srockradio94 ,
Always reminds me off Christmas,going out on Christmas Eve,oh close my eyes and I'm back there
Cheryl baker whot a babe
You've just got to love the 80s
Jay Aston, her picture came with me when I joined the Royal Navy, she sailed to and fought in the Falklands :)
respect to you my friend.
@@nickwalsh8169 sure ya did
Thank you for your service, Sir.
She's stunning mate,don't blame you there,thanks for what you and your comrades did for us,Cheryl always did it for me though,at least there'd be no argument should we have bumped into them in a pub (lol)
@Xcuze I shouldn't have laughed at that but I did.
Feel good tune. Good times
Great vibes
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant . Full stop!
I can't believe this song is 40yrs old , I loved this song when I was 13yrs old. When being a teenager was so much fun with no stress of social media, we were the lucky children.
People just hid their pain, you're so deluded.
Ain't that the truth. ❤
This song is brilliant
Loved the 80s so camp great 80s music will live on
Classic 80s groove miss those times😢
I remember my late my mum calling me down to watch this on TV! They were great pop band and won Eurovision. Fun music!
There is ...politicians live there ???
Love this song. The lyrics are so creepy but the tune is pure pop and the smiley, oh-so cheerful delivery by BF couldn't be more at odds with the words!
What’s creepy about it? Seriously!!
Check out the lyrics.@@senga8298
Enjoy the beat- ignore the words and you'll love it ❤
Ich hätte echt gedacht, dass dieses Lied älter ist...
...geht die Zeit doch nicht so schnell um, wie wir manchmal denken 🙏🏼
In the days when the UK won 🤣🤣 Not a chance now! ☺
This is when music 🎶 was great and fun
How feel good is this? Bucks Fizz and Top of the Pops 💗💗
I absolutely love bucks fizz, and this is an amazing song.x
I was only 1 years old when this came out and is one of my favourite 80s songs
This song still slaps after all these decades
Key changes are on point. 💯
Weird comment
@eileenahern-ku9nx his way giving a seal of approval lol
@@ka5269 absolutely
Was working in Saudi Arabia in '81 - absolute Hell, fast forward to 2019 and Bucks Fizz and The Land of Make Believe - happiness, pure Heaven!!
🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🕋🕋🕋!!!.
Such a happy song
Always play this song RIP JAY AND ONLY 2 OF BUCKS FIZZ ALIVE STILL!!UK ENGLAND 🏴
? Only 2 still alive?
Jay is not dead! Nobody has died from Bucks Fizz, where did you get that misinformation from?
@@Michelle-kj2gd MY apologies then,I was misinformed,so sorry
Happy memories of my first nanny job; this was a favourite of the little boy I took care of. To think he is now 46 OMG :)
Great pop song, sung well by a very pro group but the unique drumming especially at the end adds a dimension to the number that catches a connoisseur's ear. Fab.
"Ohhh - wise guy, huh?...Well, lookee here, boys - we done got ourselves an _ARISTOCWRATTT!_
Put him to sleep, Fingers! And Jimmy: go get da car..."
My dad worked in Saudi Arabia and came back with this album for my sister on cassette.. watching them on top of the pops I was in love with mike nolan!😍.. I still absolutely love this song
🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🕋🕋🕋!!!.
Cheryl Baker is appearing on Dancing On Ice 2018. At 63yrs, she's the oldest celebrity contestant on there. And she still looks great!!
Such a lovely song
August 2019?? These songs are classics and like Never Never land and Wonderland are eternal and won't go away!! Not for all the tea in China or coffee in Africa...😉😉😉...
I´m 43 years old!!! I was born in december, 26, 1970!!! I love this song!!! Thanks for posting!!!!
john bartlett It will come to you sooner then you think.
I was born May 1970 so I am a bit older than thou
I was born in Stockwell in 1953, so that pisses over all of you !
Maurino Júnior wish I was you to be born then :(
now you are 47.
Pure escapism. BRILLIANT.
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🥰🥰🥰🥰 To była wspaniała atmosfera tamtych czasów.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 💞💞💞💞
Pop perfection from a group who seemed to be genuinely enjoying their career together.
That it all ended acrimoniously in court was a shame, BF made some great memories for us older ones.
Bloody hell, I was 24 in 1981, where'd the time go?
Still love this song and its now 2023 🥰
Always loved this song and this group. ❤️
A great song that still sounds great in 2022
09.09.2023💯👍👏👏👏
Great catchy songs and all 4 really pretty especoally mike and chery.
Es ist immer wieder so wunderbar
The drumming in this is amazing
Still a great, really catchy song, more than 40 years on. A real feel good tune. Better than the Eurovision song in my book. Who knows where this band could have gone but for Mike's accident. Sadly we will never know. This tune brings me back to much happier times
I'm an 80s child now 41 but this brings me back when my sister used to listen to this 80s child
Lovely girls, lovely song, nostalgic.
The 80s were the greatest.
Aaaah, Jay, the wonderful thoughts. .. ....Can't believe it's 35 years , could be yesterday. Bet she still looks amazing.
Wonderful thoughts eh..? Dirty thoughts for me. 😂
Smashing song!
Have always loved 😍 this happy tune the beat is wicked .bucks fizz were great back then !
I luv bucks fizz good British band brilliant
Omg brings back some good childhood memories...ohh and having a crush on Cheryl Baker...
I met Mike Nolan about 18 months ago, he is such a lovely guy, had plenty of photos taken with him
I used to clobber all over the TV when Cheryl was on...gorgeous
so good....so timeless...my youth. Damned, Time goes on and on! So why??? I was 16 Years old, Music in this Time was only ...the best!
Very catchy song, and a very good-looking group!
Totally agree 🎉
Holy cow...November of 2019, I am here but my brain is in 1981.
