Subject: Best Bucks Fizz Song

Written By: whistledog on 02/24/06 at 11:03 pm

I have always loved "My Camera Never Lies" the best :)

Bucks Fizz were not too popular over here.  As far as I know, they only had 1 North American release with a 1982 self-titled album that compiled 10 selections from their first two British albums.

I have UK cassette copies of their British self-titled release as well as the follow-up album "Are You Ready" and I love them both :)

"Can't Stand The Heat" was an anthem in my family during the early 80's. We always used to sing it in the car etc.

The one that stands out for me is "When We Were Young".

Both "Making Your Mind Up" and "The Land Of Make Believe" were #1 hits in Dutch Top 40.
Isn't it ironic that "New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)" was in fact the end of their career? It was a good song, though.

I remember that one as well, it goes something like...

* If you can't stand the heat
Stay out of the kitchen
If you can't stand the cold
Don't sleep on the floor

I have always had a soft spot for Land of Make Believe.

It was featured in an advertisement...
