And tonight we're still watching 💛

With the Eurovision Song Contest on tonight, it’s a great time to remember a band who really took the world by storm that night.

“You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up!”

Buck’s Fizz became overnight stars when they won Eurovision for the UK in 1981 with Making Your Mind Up — a song that instantly became one of the contest’s most iconic performances.

Of course, most people still remember the famous skirt-rip moment during the chorus, which shocked audiences at the time and helped make the performance unforgettable across Europe.

The group, made up of Bobby G, Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, scored 136 points on the night and brought Eurovision back to Britain in style. The song quickly shot to number one in the UK charts and became one of the biggest-selling Eurovision singles ever released in Britain.

What followed was a hugely successful few years for the band, with hits such as The Land of Make Believe, My Camera Never Lies and Now Those Days Are Gone helping them become one of the biggest British pop groups of the early 1980s.

Even now, more than four decades later, that Eurovision performance is still remembered as one of the contest’s greatest ever winning moments.

Moon shining brightly
Knowing, wishing , that we
Here on Earth made a choice
Realise it’s more that just me , me , them, them but an entire universe to consider
Burning, yearning we destroy ourselves in the burning fires of desires …
For what
To obtain what we already have
If we could only see
Beyond our egos
Beyond our hurts
Beyond and into our hearts
To join again, with the cosmos we came from and to which we will again join , but first , heal before we all become stars in a distant dark sky
Forever wondering …….why?
