The Fizz insist their 1981 Eurovision routine would be too risqu for today’s audience – Irish Mirror

The Fizz have insisted that their 1981 Eurovision routine would not go down well with today's audience.

The successful band insist that they would not be allowed to perform their risqu set today, due to the fact it would be too politically incorrect.

The British pop music group formed in 2004 as a spin-off from the original group, Bucks Fizz.

The core group members, Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, put on one hell of a show at the 1981 Eurovision awards, and ended up coming back to the UK with the winning title.

With the hit 'Making Up Your Mind', the trio left audiences across the world with their jaws on the floor as their rather raunchy performance raised a few eyebrows.

In the middle of the set, Mike and Bobby tore off Cheryl and Jays maxi skirts to reveal much shorter and sexier versions underneath.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Mike admitted that whipping off a girls skirt on stage in today's society would be taken seriously.

"It would be too politically incorrect to rip the skirts off todaythe cr*p they come out with".

The singer insisted that 'things have gotten out of hand' in this day and age, and jokes are no longer tolerable as there's always one individual that takes offense.

"I think the whole thing has got out of hand now. You cant even tell Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman jokes any ore. Get a life! Get in the real world."

Jay also feels that people today take life way too seriously, and are simply waiting for a reason to be offended by something

She tells the publication: "People are scared to say things in case it offends someone. Its eroded our humour."

The line-up of the group has changed a number of times over the years, most famously when Jay Aston quit the group in 1985 and was replaced by Shelley Preston.

The Fizz - now perform under that name after a legal wrangle with original member Bobby G - are back with a whole new album Smoke & Mirrors which is out on Friday.

Today, two versions of the group exist: a version which includes original member Bobby G, and a version comprising the other three original members - Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston under the name The Fizz.

The group went on to have a successful career around the world, although they were commercially unsuccessful in the United States, but the UK remained their biggest market.

Bucks Fizz had three No.1 singles with Making Your Mind Up, The Land Of Make Believe and My Camera Never Dies.

They quickly became one of the top-selling groups of the 1980s.

They talented group also had UK Top 10 hits with Now Those Days Are Gone and When We Were Young.

Bucks Fizz have sold over 15 million records worldwide.

The group are eagerly awaiting this years UK performance in the Eurovision as James Newman heads on a quest to win the title with his track My Last Breath

The United Kingdom hasnt had much luck at Eurovision in recent years, with 2019s entry Michael Rice coming dead last with his song Bigger Than Us.
