Said production was based on a previous U.K. miners' strike. "Only You", their debut single, was the British Christmas number one in 1983, spending a total of five weeks at the top, and it also did well around Europe. Ironically enough, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, fighting an acrimonious political battle with unions at the time, said that the single was one of her favorite songs. A second single, a cover of the soul classic "When You're Young and in Love" by Van McCoy, reached number seven, but their third, a cover of the Eurythmics' track "Who's That Girl?", barely charted at all.
Joining Hibbard in the Flying Pickets were Rick Lloyd, Gareth Williams, David Brett, Ken Gregson, and Red Stripe (real name David Gittins). They were internationally renowned for their appearances: Hibbard's huge sideburns, Stripes thick eyeliner, and four others showing off flamboyant suits and large hats. A group like the Pickets were very lucky to get into the charts at all, let alone a Christmas number one and a pleasing number seven afterwards.
Hibbard and Gittins tried desperately to stay in the music business, and they formed their own act called 'Brian and Stripe'. Unfortunately, their first and only single failed, and they returned to their separate acting careers. Other group members drifted into various careers.
Since the original Flying Pickets split, a new team of five ambitious men have tried to follow in the original's footsteps. Yet they have had no chart success. Still, they've toured around Europe in lots of small venues all year round, trying to at least touch the giddy heights of their predecessors.

Flying Pickets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spring in the air (filled with love),
there's magic everywhere,
when you're young and in love.
Life seems to be (just a dream),
a world of fantasy,
when you're young and in love.
Each night seems just like the 4th of july,
with stars that spangle the sky.
The moon at night (shines so bright),
seems to shine twice as bright,
when you're young and in love.
Dreams can come true (cry a dream),
if you believe they do,
when you're young and in love.
chorus:
So many teardrops about to fall.
True love can conquer all,
when you're,
when you're young and in love.
Trust and you'll find (ooo),
there's no mountain you can't climb,
when you're young and in love.
chorus:
So many teardrops about to fall.
True love can conquer all.
Spring in the air (ooo),
there's magic everywhere,

when you're young and in love.
chorus:
So many teardrops about to fall.

Al Pacino on lead vocals backed up by Stan Boardman and Jimmy Saville. This is why I love the 80’s so - it didn’t matter who you were or what you looked like. Talent got you through. Great version.
