Love Games was the United Kingdom entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 in Luxembourg performed by the girl group Belle & The Devotions. The song was an homage to the girl group sound of 1960s Motown, with the girls lamenting that their lovers had "played love games" with them and broken their hearts. The trio was dressed in bright day-glo coloured jackets and miniskirts, with similarly eye-popping hair (Rolfe went for a platinum blonde, while the other singers dyed their hair yellow and bright red, respectively).

  • Love Games was the United Kingdom entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 in Luxembourg performed by the girl group Belle & The Devotions. The song was an homage to the girl group sound of 1960s Motown, with the girls lamenting that their lovers had "played love games" with them and broken their hearts. The trio was dressed in bright day-glo coloured jackets and miniskirts, with similarly eye-popping hair (Rolfe went for a platinum blonde, while the other singers dyed their hair yellow and bright red, respectively). In the final, the song was performed sixth on the night, following Norway and preceding Cyprus. At the close of voting, it finished in 7th place with 63 points. It was the first entry to be booed off the stage by the crowd at the contest, some stories say that it was in retaliation to an episode of football hooliganism in the city by rowdy English fans the previous autumn. Also, it was revealed that members Laura James and Linda Sofield were mostly recruited for their dancing ability while three other girls offstage provided all the vocals.
