A personal favourite of mine from their entire discography, along with I Hear Talk and When We Were Young. Such a criminally underrated and overlooked hidden gem.
Loved this tune, used to go in to the local pub and put 50p in the video juke box and watch it every time I went in, miss those days immensely and the music.
I agree Cheryl very Hazel O'Connor here .. her style here was similar to that in the recent "Amen" .. A great song and a real pity it didn't go up the charts
This was a great track, not known as one of their big hit, but a great song. Cheryl on lead, very Hazel O Connor in breaking glass! not like how we are used to seeing her and a big dollop of toyah about her.
Sad to think that this was the final single before the group became a Bobby solo project with the others relegated to BVs and the occasional album track. That decision really harmed them.
For me it was not one of their best but still liked it, but I loved piece of the action now those days are gone land of make believe golden days you and your heart so blue great band
Considering Jay didn’t sing on the track cos of what happened behind the scenes, hence her valley/ballet confusion on tv performances, she’s really going for it in this video! Must have been difficult.
The beautiful rose of the game dedicated to Richard Dean Anderson original books please the original books please books please the original rules of the game by Cheryl Mike and all the ones from the rules of the game is dedicated to the original MacGyver Richard Dean Anderson the rules of the game you and your heart so blue
I first heard this on _Music Express_ back in 1984 but it was nowhere near as successful as their 1981 hit "Making Your Mind Up" or the follow-up single "Land of Make-Believe" (1982).
I remember Cheryl saying in an interview that cos the song and vid are quite serious and frowny, she had to try not to think of funny stuff that would make her laugh. During a recent Facebook live chat, she said she likes the song but thinks her affected vocal on the first verse sounds a bit stupid!
@@catgirlKL Me too, Oh Suzanne is the same. Their Warren Bacall stuff is very Eurythmics. I liked Cheryl’s kind of androgynous styling in ‘83 too, with her slicked back hair, very Annie Lennox. There’s a tv performance of Rules too, the disco championships or something, where she looks like Phil Oakey from the Human League, with her hair longer on one side. Rules is about as far from Making your mind up and Land of make believe as you’re gonna get!
@@zanducktv2398 I'll have to check that out. I'd forgotten about Oh Suzanne, Bucks Fizz always tried different things which is good and probably why they have done well.
This song does not quite work for me. I appreciate that the intention was to make Cheryl sound like Marlene Dietrich, but to me Cheryl sounds more like Amanda Lear!
A personal favourite of mine from their entire discography, along with I Hear Talk and When We Were Young.
Such a criminally underrated and overlooked hidden gem.
They were very experimental in their production. Always loved this track. My Camera Never Lies blows my mind still.
One of my favourite Bucks Fizz songs ever! Shame it was a never hit! Very catchy and I love Cheryl's vocals.
The first Bucks Fizz single that failed to make the UK top 40 charts at the end of 1983 but still think it was one of their best productions.
Another great track. Should have been a hit. Bucks Fizz were not known in North America. They certainly remind me of Abba.
Thnk it got to number 50 .ridiculous. such a belting song .
Loved this tune, used to go in to the local pub and put 50p in the video juke box and watch it every time I went in, miss those days immensely and the music.
Definitely one of the lost gems category!!
I love this song! I’m listening to loads of Buck’s Fizz hits. Loved them as a kid!
🎉 nostalgia retro vintage music 🎵
The best one they ever did - sounds even better on vinyl!
It ismy favourite Buckd Fizz song too, very powerful.
Superb song
Wish it had gone higher in the charts than it did
It deserved a lot more
Love this song, so powerful, superb vocal from Cheryl, one of their best I think.
Production on all fizz records is fantastic - LOVE this
The original line up before Jay Aston left the group. They had some cracking songs during the 80’s, this was my personal favourite.
For me, this song & video of Bucks Fizz comes a close second to my favourite You & Your Heart So Blue song & video.
Still a fantastic video Cheryl and jay look absolutely stunning
My favourite Bucks Fizz song.
Hands down my favourite Bucks Fizz track.
And my favourite Fizz track by a MILE is From Here to Eternity
I don't think Cheryl has ever looked more beautiful!
Look her up singing this on the 1984 disco championships. She is absolutely beautiful.
Vocals. Melody production amazing
Showed what a wonderful band they are
If this had been released today, it would make the Top 10
Love this song, Cheryl sings it magnificently!
Better than the rubbish of today 😂
Great track was released in december 1983 didnt quite reach top 40 such a shame cos classic bucks fizz and cheryl amazing on lead vocal
A time zone classic hit on the album BUCKS FIZZ Greatest hits.
Yes i have that album, and [all the vinyl singles.] Many years a was a big fan. Abba the second.😛
Teach me the rules Cheryl!
I agree Cheryl very Hazel O'Connor here .. her style here was similar to that in the recent "Amen" .. A great song and a real pity it didn't go up the charts
this songs as good as anything abba did
This is a pretty cutting edge sounding track for 1983. It should’ve been a top 5 hit
Fantastic music 🎶 from bucks fizz 😂
So many songs that never were.at least 3 from all albums were not singles but could've been.they were that good.
My favourite song is run for your life 😂
This was a great track, not known as one of their big hit, but a great song. Cheryl on lead, very Hazel O Connor in breaking glass! not like how we are used to seeing her and a big dollop of toyah about her.
exactly what I was thinking
Yep so agree.. I actually bought this from Woolworths as i did regularly with my pocket money.
Cheryl gets the lead vocal!
Great Jam....Great Memories...When a man was a boy.....
You're still a boy, Boy
Still love this video and song!
This I think was Bucks Fizz best song that they had produced but it was the first not to make the UK top 40 at the end of 1983.
Had great songs they need follow steps now and do a jukebox musical
Best you have ever done Cheryl, beautiful woman.
About time the fiz did a jukdbox musical
rules of the game rocks !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤no words
This is one of my favourites
Lovely song from Cheryl and Mike and jay and Bobby 😂
Bucks fizz were very experimental really. Agreed this does sound like Hazel O ‘ conner.
Such a great song! So OTT! Perfect pop! ❤️❤️❤️
what a wonderful song what a great performance
I can't believe this is cheryl singing ! It's reminiscent of Hazel o Connor
Sad to think that this was the final single before the group became a Bobby solo project with the others relegated to BVs and the occasional album track. That decision really harmed them.
What a lost classic
This is superb!
A very raunchy Cheryl there,nice!!
i've always liked it!
Love this tune so typifies the early 80's. Wasnt a hit at all in UK and yet bloody good tune
This song would fit very well into the musical Chess .
Rules of 💞❣
I sure thats Wu Shu Kwan Martial Arts.
Love this 👏
so mesmerizing
For me it was not one of their best but still liked it, but I loved piece of the action now those days are gone land of make believe golden days you and your heart so blue great band
It's was December 1983 and it's Christmas party for them.
Rules are made to be broken.
Love is the ballet where the dancer falls, love is the game where the loser calls ;)
Does that line have meaning?
I like Cheryl’s red army dominatrix, Baader Meinhof approach here. Bobby G is still in the old cheeky Bucks Fizz though.
Considering Jay didn’t sing on the track cos of what happened behind the scenes, hence her valley/ballet confusion on tv performances, she’s really going for it in this video! Must have been difficult.
What happens?
Why aren’t they releasing these videos with cd quality sound
This song came out in 1982 and is from the Are You Ready album
It actually came out in late 1983 and was featured on the album"Greatest Hits" ;)
It's like a combination of cement mixer and dishes breaking in an echo chamber
This was the greatest hits album from 1983 trying to go for a more mature sound.
Warren bacall rip
Breaking glass
so in my vein....

I’m so pissed off this was not included on the 2007 “Best of” DVD!
2020?
Honestly never heard this one. Slipped me by.
Bet Bobby nearly had an accident in his white trousers, when the kickboxer landed so close to him!
First time I've heard this one...🧐🤨
Release 1985
2019?
Seems to be consensus that Cheryl is the best bucks fizz, the most bang for your bucks?
Are there and Bucks Fizz videos that are not packed with symbolism.
1993?? really?? sounds more like 1983!! don't you think??
Of course, released in November 1983 whe I turned 19 ;-)
It is '83
Just replying to my comment from 4 years ago.

I think Cheryl sounds fantastic om lead, bit operatic, and yes, like Hazel Ocooner.

WTF.This song is not from 1993 but album Greatest hits 1983!!!!!
Well this has aged well! 😆😆😆😆
Go Cheryl! Always the better vocalist imho.
26 guys didnt know the rules of the game
Like some bizarre German 80's outfit...........................
this is really cool and quite edgy
This song does not quite work for me. I appreciate that the intention was to make Cheryl sound like Marlene Dietrich, but to me Cheryl sounds more like Amanda Lear!
The only reason this didn't chart so highly was the greatest hits album came almost the same time and the track was on this poor timing that's all
erm.. is it Cultural Marxism , Bob ?
I think thats their worst song the vocals are awful here
Jays hair is 🔥
