"Piece Of The Action" by Bucks Fizz

If ABBA could do it, then why not Bucks Fizz? In many countries, Bucks Fizz actually did become an "ABBA for the 80s" after winning the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest with "Making Your Mind Up". Composed of two boys and two girls in silly matching costumes, the foursome had a signature harmony sound and typically sang upbeat dance pop numbers...just like you know who.

The group would score three #1 hits and several more top ten hits in their native UK, and sell over 15 million albums all over the world. Strangely enough, they never even scratched the bottom of a singles or album chart in the US.

If you like ABBA and never heard Bucks Fizz, you are in for a bit of a treat (I'm referring to the band, not the cocktail from which they took their name). I would not place them on the same tier as ABBA, but some of their songs come close, such as the wonderful "Piece Of The Action".
