Making your mind up - United Kingdom 1981 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra 

I´m portuguese, i had 10 yo when i saw this performance on tv. I said to my mom- "Mummy, i´m sure you don´t need to see the other songs. UK will win for sure!" She said- "Are you crazy?"... Two hours laters, she understood i wasn´t crazy...

Who's here again for 2023??.... Bucks Fizz were great back in the early 80's 😎💯

I’m 31 and my mother is 72 but il always remember her singing this song when I was young. I know the words without ever hearing the song. When I was a child we would sit around the TV as a family watching the Eurovision always special memories for Irish families. Sadly not the same anymore.

Joyfull and so great , they did deserve to be the winners , love from France !

Sung with such joy and energy a worthy winner.

Catchy song deserved the win!! UK on top form back in 1981!!

When I listened to it as a child I liked it so much that I preferred it to win instead of my country to listen to it again.

1981 I was 16 years old 2023 I'm 58 this song reminds me of my teenage days

This music make me happy ☺

Brilliant song very uplifting glad we won this Eurovision song contest 40 years ago now watched this in 9181 and now watching it again in june 2021 this song still has that wow feel about it🎶🎵🥰…………..Kimberley 🇬🇧

Long live Terry Wogan. RIP

2023...this is the meaning of eurovizion!! Love you england to moon and back!! Grear song and beautiful.singers!! Kisses from cyprus!!

Still love the song 🎵 ❤️ after all these years

Those jumpers the guys are wearing are the most 1980's thing i've ever seen.

It has to be one of the best all-around songs ever..

I remember Bucks Fizz! when in my last year at junior school. I wasn't yet eleven at the time and an impressionable kid. Takes me back to a less complicated era with no social media or a preponderance of gadgets. Good time to be young!

Love that song and what did for that group and 40 years on they are still singing making your mind up well done fizz for win the Eurovision fizz for every🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️💙💚💛💜🤍💖💝💗💓🎶🎤🎵🎸🎼🍾🥂

Lets be honest, it doesn't get much better than this!!! I remember that night well..

This song is a shot of pure good vibe 😀

happy 2023 year to all !! kisses from Switzerland Gstaad

So fun and catchy.

A great performance from all of the guys, they really were on top form. Worthy winners

Hey remember when the UK actually cared

the best in Eurovision story

Adoro esta canción y cómo la interpretaron, una actuación de 10 y sin necesitar nada más que la orquesta acompañándolos. Una delicia! Gracias!

I love this so much.

The Greatest British Eurovision winner by a landslide.

The outfits made my eyes burn

Making your mind up. Good memories wonderfull song, we. See with my family all eurovision festival when I was young. Very good moments what stay with me ever.

What always gets me is Jay Aston checks to make sure that her skirt isn’t completely ripped off

Used to do this dance at the disco great one on 😃❤😃❤

The guy in blue is absolutely gorgeous and Jesus Christ the guy in green looks like Paul McCartney in a blonde wig haha xxx

I recall from that year, seeing one of the Presentation- Shows of all the ESC - Contenders at an acquaintance's place, where also a bloke, whom I thought was a Complete Tosser, to say the least (For reasons not relevant bringing up here) had popped by, sat and watched the Show. When Buck's Fizz came up with "MYMU", he annoyingly loud proclaimed "THAT'S The Winner! I'm POSITIVE!" And I muttered "Yeah-Yeah Sure, Mate". As it happened, he also was around the evening of the ESC- Final, and when B.F. actually DID win, (to my shocking surprise), he said " I KNEW it! Do you remember that I'd said that?" I couldn't really refuse to that and replied shortly; "Yes, You DID say that". (But He still was a Complete Tosser!) :-D

thanks to the Eurovision musical event that founded some the talant and music we grew up with in the 70s and 80s

Great dance, lovely song, and I'm no vocal expert but 2:02 and 2:20 just don't sound right

Greatest song of all time

Me encanta y me sigue gustando

Bucks Fizz , Making Your Mind Up and Terry Wogan. Those were the days. Rule Britannia! God Save the Queen.

Me in June 2024 😍 😍

There are so many Carry On puns in this that only the English would get lol

Very happy memories from when I was 5 ❤️

Anyone in 2024? 😂

😍Bravo!!!!!

Tema maravilloso, yo llevaba ese mismo pelo. Ojalá la gente joven deje de raparse la cabeza. Vivan las melenas masculinas!!

I am glad, but I am amazed they won with Cheryl Baker's off-key wailing

It was the best song of the night, flattered by an orchestra which fortunately drowned out Jay Aston's semitone off pitch, and the novelty of the skirt removing distinguished it from the German and Swiss entries snapping at its heels.

Oh, this was such amazing music!!!!

Me encantó esta canción

*Joyful* *and* *so* *great* *They* *did* *deserve* *to* *be* *the* *winners* 💗

I remember I really loved this one😊❤

Timeless ❤️❤️❤️

I saw a more modern remake of this. Still sounded great. Also fun, the ladies ripped the men's pants down to shorts. Turn about is fair play! Fun tune.

Excelente musica com bom video Kiváló zene jó videóval

They had a lot of success with that song...

Can't believe those outfits were ever fashionable, but nevertheless beautiful memories.

Wowww o love it❤❤❤❤

wasnt alive when iy came out nor do i live in england but ï absolutely love this song

Super Musik 😊

love that skirt rip

nice

Im convinced the 'skirt ripping' got us 'douze points'!! Still brilliant though.

"Don't let your indecision take you from behind" 🤣

Love the song put performance wasn’t great on the night.

Watched this live at the time. Great song deserved to win. Its the orchestra sound that's a bit off putting. Loved all the music they've produced. 😊

Fantastic. Didn't they do the UK proud! As a "Generation X" I always say this was our "World Cup 1966" moment!

That was the fastest 3 minute song I’ve ever listened to

**Super old song 👍💯🌟**

This song is ageless, does not matter how many years pass it annoys as in 1981.

I made my mind up years ago...Cheryl Baker

Used to dance to this in Andrea’s house !

i was only 13 when i first heard this song and i knew straight away that this was a winning song, and it did in glourious stile, the last time was in 1976 when i was 8 and the botherhood of man won , how sad today that the song contest is about political , rather then how good the song is

There was actually a gaffe, where they gave the girls the lead mics and the men the backing mics. It should have been the other way around, as the lead mics are much louder. Which is why the high backing vocals are so prominent. But it's still a really good vocal performance/harmony, so you can see how talented they all were

Divertidisimos

Best eruovision song england did make their minds up

Jó.

OMG when I look nowadays at the ESC 🙂 I really like the moment when the boys grab their hair too ... around 2.35

Emly starr from Belgium had to win that year with "Samson and Delilah"!

1:37 we tried to dance like this but never succeeded (I'm member in a dance club)....but my feet are moving all alone with the swing of the melody

I was into English language so much at this time

Bu şarkı bana 1991'de Türkiye'nin İzel Reyhan Can'la Eurovision'a katıldığı iki dakika şarkısını hatirlatiyor hele nakarat kısmı tamamen aynı.

Jay Aston is Stunning

PARCHIS *Me vas a volver loco*

Back then, when you took "Le Grand Prix de la Chanson" still serious.

Can't believe this won.

Great music 😂❤❤😂

Won't be any more if we leave Europe right now they need to listen to this

великолепно

Terry Wogan realised what a politicized con the eurovision song contest had become.

I've just ripped my ears off. Ahhh... that sounds better.

I'd like to think now, anno 2024, that this song won more because of the act than because of the music/singing.

The best song to have won the ESC was 2007 winner Molitzva by Serbia Such a powerful song

I would have been between the ages of nine and fourteen. Corporal Jones as a grandfather- where was his bayonet and don't panic!

We always care ! We just don't do very well 😜

Take you from behind? OMG

i usually hate pop from before the 21st century (i listen to metal anyway) but this is quality.

No ABBAs were harmed in the making of this performance.

❤❤❤❤❤

Crazy song.But true to this day😂

I jived with the girls in 85 in Ireland.
