This was in the top 10 in June 1982! What a great song to start an 80s summer! All the songs now lack the magic this and all 80s hits had! I Love 82

The eighties might've been good for music, the Rubik's cube & like-spinoffs. But adolescence compounded by undiagnosed Autism (Asperger's) made life little more than an existence/prison-sentence.

I love this song and I wish I had written it. Vocally it’s very much in the style of the ABBA vocal harmonies. The backing track, although very catchy, is not anywhere close to the quality ABBA would have produced but it’s still good. Compared to The Winner Takes It All for example it falls well short. Having said that The Winner Takes It All is one, if not the best pop song ever written. The musical phrasing of The Winner Takes It All repeats throughout the song but what’s written around that is a masterpiece. Fantasy Island takes me back to a simpler time in our lives. Love it!!!

I had this song stuck in my head for 2 days and it was driving me mad, what I had stuck in my head wasnt the actual lyrics but I had the tune, then it came on the music channel and I was like "tight fit, never heard if them", I thought it was an ABBA or Steps song. I was born in 79 so I was 6 when this song came out. But it's such a catchy song... it goes to show how bad music has got when I find this better then all the new releases that have come out lately...

Please note it has wrongly been stated that Steve Grant died in 1990, whereas from approximately 1990-1999 he appeared in Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal Dury Lane, London.

means sounds like ABBA, and actually I agree on the chorus - I've thought this since I was young when I first heard it (when it came out) - the harmonies are very ABBA stylised and the sound in general is very much that of ABBA (on the chorus only however, not the verse / bridge)
