They had some gigs, but were still waiting for their big breakthrough. That came when they won the Dutch national final to qualify for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986. Their catchy tune "Alles Heeft Een Ritme" (="Everything Has Rhythm") was performed bare feet. They finished in 13th place out of 20. The song is still very popular as almost everyone in Holland knows it but it wasn't a big hit. Most people relate to them as "the barefoot girls from the Eurovision Song Contest"...
They went on to produce an English album, "First Date". Several singles were taken from it: "Second Chance", "Never Give Up", "Look At The Stars" and "Talk It Over". As it was a relative success in The Netherlands, it was also released in Japan. There the girls were as popular as the Dolly Dots were a few years before. Back in Holland they were compared to the Dolly Dots as well, as they were all good looking girls and made the same kind of music. Frizzle Sizzle even had the same producers work on "First Date" as the Dolly Dots did in their seventh album, "Attention": Jochem Fluitsma and Eric van Tijn.
Although a new single, "Around and Around" (for which Dolly Dots' Patty Zomer did styling on the sleeve), was released, a new album was never recorded.
The girls decided to each go their own way:
Laura Vlasblom did lots of theatre work, sang Ariel in the Dutch version of Disney's Little Mermaid, married and divorced Caught In The Act's Bastiaan Ragas.
Karin Vlasblom said goodbye to showbiz, as opposed to her sister, and opened a clothing boutique.
Marjon Keller eventually became a voice over for the Dutch RTL television station. Most people might know her voice, but are not aware who she is.
Mandy Huydts went on to record a Dutch solo album, simply titled "Mandy Huydts". Although "De Zon (Warme Stralen)" (="The Sun") was kind of successful, the album wasn't. She has recorded two albums in total and a single with Justin, which was ever featured on an album. But she is also one of the Frogettes, the backing vocalists for René Froger (a top artist in the Netherlands).
During the big eighties revival at the turn of this century all four girls got together again to perform one more time...
In 2005 Laura was part of the cast of Song Contest in Concert. During Tony Neef's Dana International act she came on stage in her original Frizzle Sizzle Song Contest outfit and interrupted him. That was the only reference to the song, except for the final night in Utrecht. At the after party she danced to the song twice, as there hard-core fans who did the original dance with her and Birgit Neyman.

I had a dream you said to me:
"I really love you but I need to be alone,
For baby you see, I have to be free"
Now I'm awake and facing the facts
But you don't know how much I want you back
I'll give you a second chance
You promise you fix this broken down romance
Tell me it's a deal
I'll show you that my love is real
Left in the cold I feel so alone
But deep down inside I know that you're mine
Come on and get it, I've got love to share
You won't regret it, but baby be aware
Cover me baby and don't make me cry
For all I need is to be by your side
Don't tell me maybe 'cause that's not enough
You make me happy if you just give me love
Come on and get it, I've got love to share
You won't regret it, but baby be aware
The song "Second Chance" by Frizzle Sizzle revolves around the idea of lost love and the yearning to rekindle a relationship after it falls apart. The opening lines describe the singer waking up from a dream, where their lover confesses the need for freedom and space. The singer is torn between facing the reality of their partner's departure and wanting to hold onto the relationship.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses the hope for a second chance to make things work. They plead with their partner to fix the broken romance, promising to show them their genuine love. The chorus "I'll give you a second chance, you promise you fix this broken down romance, I'll give you a second chance, tell me it's a deal, I'll show you that my love is real" is a clear indication of the desire for another opportunity.
The bridge of the song is a heartfelt plea to their partner to come back to them. The singer shows vulnerability but also warns their partner to not break their heart again. The song ends with the same chorus and the singer expressing their willingness to share their love with their partner.
In summary, "Second Chance" is a song that depicts the struggle to come to terms with the end of a relationship, but also the desire to right the wrongs that have led to the separation. The singer yearns to reconnect with their partner and is willing to give the relationship another chance.

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
Today started with sadness
I had a dream you said to me:
In my dream, you told me something important
"I really love you but I need to be alone,
You said you loved me but wanted to be alone
For baby you see, I have to be free"
You feel it's important for you to be free
Now I'm awake and facing the facts
I am now awake and accepting the truth
But you don't know how much I want you back
You do not realize how much I want us to be together again
I'll give you a second chance
I am willing to give you another chance
You promise you fix this broken down romance
Promise to fix our relationship
I'll give you a second chance
I am willing to give you another chance

Confirm that we have an agreement
I'll show you that my love is real

I feel abandoned and lonely
But deep down inside I know that you're mine
Despite feeling alone, I am confident you are meant to be with me
Come on and get it, I've got love to share
I have love to give and want to share it with you
You won't regret it, but baby be aware
You will not regret being with me, but please be cautious
Cover me baby and don't make me cry
Protect me from harm and do not cause me emotional pain
For all I need is to be by your side
All I need is to be with you
Don't tell me maybe 'cause that's not enough
Do not hesitate or give a vague answer, it is not sufficient
You make me happy if you just give me love
Your love is enough to make me happy
Come on and get it, I've got love to share
I have love to give and want to share it with you
You won't regret it, but baby be aware
You will not regret being with me, but please be cautious
