<P> Bucks Fizz is a British pop group that achieved success in the 1980s , most notably for winning the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest with the song `` Making Your Mind Up '' . The group was formed in January 1981 specifically for the contest and comprised four vocalists : Bobby G , Cheryl Baker , Mike Nolan and Jay Aston . They received attention for the dance routine which accompanied the song , in which the male members of the group ripped the female members ' outer skirts off to reveal much shorter mini-skirts beneath . 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 , where they had three No. 1 singles with `` Making Your Mind Up '' ( 1981 ) , `` The Land of Make Believe '' ( 1981 ) and `` My Camera Never Lies '' ( 1982 ) and became one of the top - selling groups of the 1980s . They also had UK Top 10 hits with `` Now Those Days Are Gone '' ( 1982 ) , `` If You Ca n't Stand the Heat '' ( 1982 ) , `` When We Were Young '' ( 1983 ) and `` New Beginning ( Mamba Seyra ) '' ( 1986 ) .
