THEME MUSIC PLAYS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Laser Love" by T Rex

# Yeah!

# Yeah. Ah!

# Yeah.

# Gold mouth lady mix a drink for me

# Lay beside me solid company

# You move on up, you move on back

# Your laser love is like a heart attack

# Yeah!

# Ah! Yeah! Ah!

# Lean clean woman lay a kiss on me

# My love is so strong like a raging sea

# You move on up, you move on back

# Your laser love is like a heart attack

# Yeah

# Yeah!

# Ah! Yeah.

# Dance, dance, dance till the crack of dawn

# Dance, dance, dance till your shoes are worn

# You move on up, you move on back

# Your laser love is like a heart attack

# You move on up, you move on back

# Your laser love is like a heart attack

# Yeah! #

Yes siree, ladies and gentlemen. How about that then?

Now then. That was number...wooh!

Marc and company there. Number 42 in the hit parade, that is.

It's called Laser Love with, of course, T-Rex

and right over there I can see from way across the seas, Pussycat. Oh!

MUSIC: "Mississippi" by Pussycat

# Well you can hear the country song from far

# And someone play the honky tonk guitar

# Where all the lights will go out one by one

# Where people join the sun And the wind takes it away

# Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea

# And lovers found the place they like to be

# How many times before this song was ending

# Love and understanding everywhere around?

# Mississippi

# I'll remember you

# Whenever I shall go away

# I'll be longing for the day

# That I will be in Greenville again

# Mississippi

# You'll be on my mind

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along until the end of time

# Now the country song forever lost its soul

# When the guitar player turned to rock'n'roll

# And every time when summer nights are falling

# I always will be calling Dreams of yesterday

# Mississippi

# I'll remember you

# Whenever I shall go away

# I'll be longing for the day

That I will be in Greenville again

# Mississippi

# You'll be on my mind

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along until the end of time

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along

# Until the end of time. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh! Yes, indeed. Number 2 this week, ladies and gentlemen.

The Colonel says it will be Number 1 next week. There you go! Mississippi.

Now then, at Number 6, ah, the classics like it was. Disco Duck, Rick Dees.

QUACKING

# Went to a party the other night

# All the ladies were treating me right

# Moving my feet to the disco beat

Yeah! Now, then.

At number 30, it's England Dan and John Ford Coley there.

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight is the title of the tune.

We're going to see some of our guys and gals soon up here!

# Hello, yeah, it's been a while

# Not much

# How 'bout you?

# I'm not sure why I called

# I guess I really just wanted to talk to you

# I was thinking maybe later on

# We could get together for a while

# It's been such a long time

# And I really do miss your smile

# I'm not talking 'bout moving in

# And I don't want to change your life

# But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around

# And I'd really love to see you tonight

# We could go walking through a windy park

# Take a drive along the beach

# Or stay at home and watch TV

# You see, it really doesn't matter much to me

# I'm not talking 'bout moving in

# And I don't want to change your life

# But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around

# And I'd really love to see you tonight

# I won't ask for promises

# So you don't have to lie

# We've both played that game before

# Say I love you, then say goodbye

# I'm not talking 'bout moving in

# And I don't want to change your life

# But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around

# And I'd really love to see you tonight

Really love to see you tonight

# I'm not talking 'bout moving in

# And I don't want to change your life

# But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around

# And I'd really love to see you tonight

Really love to see you tonight

# I'm not talking 'bout moving in

# And I don't want to change your life... #

APPLAUSE

Hey!

Now, then, ladies and gentlemen,

HMS London, the destroyer, has been recalled from NATO service in the North Sea

so these lads could come on Top Of The Pops tonight.

-What have you got to remember?

-Detroit Spinners.

-What's it called?

-Rubber Man Man. No, Rubberband Man.

Rubberband Man, with the one and only Ruby Flipper.

Thank you very much, indeed.

# Hand me down my walking cane

# Hand me down my hat

# Hurry now and don't be late

# Cos we ain't got time to chat

# You and me, we're going out

# To catch the latest sounds

# Guaranteed to blow your mind

# So high you won't come down

# Hey, y'all, prepare yourself

# For the rubberband man

# You never heard a sound

# Like the rubberband man

# You're bound to lose control

# When the rubberband starts to jam

# Oh, Lord, this dude is outta sight

# Everything he does

# Seems to come out right

# Once I went to hear them play

# At a club outside of town

# I was so surprised, I was hypnotised

# By the sound this cat's putting down

# When I saw this short, fat guy

# Stretch a band between his toes

# Hey, I laughed so hard cos the man got down

# When he finally reached his goal

# Hey, y'all, prepare yourself

# For the rubberband man

# You never heard a sound

# Like the rubberband man

# You're bound to lose control

# When the rubberband starts to jam

# Got that rubberband

# Up on his toes

# And then he wriggled it up

# All around his nose

# Do-do-do do-do-do-do do-do

# Guaranteed to blow your mind

# Do-do-do do-do-do-do do-do... #

APPLAUSE

A-ha! Now then, as it happens

there's a big, fine body-building lad here. Show us your muscles.

Listen, at number 20, ladies and gentlemen,

it so happens it's the Manhattans and one called The Hurt,

right this second, right now.

You made me a promise.

And you broke it.

He could never love you like I do.

Oh, I feel so bad.

# Hurt

# To think that you lied to me

# Hurt

# Way down deep inside of me

# You said your love was true

# And we'd never part

# Now you've found someone new

# And it breaks my heart

# I'm hurt

# Hurt

# Much more than you'll ever know

# Hurt

# Because I still love you so

# But even though you hurt me

# Like no-one else could do

# I would never

# Never hu-urt

# You... #

Even though you've taken your love from me,

baby, I want you back.

# Never gonna hurt you... #

I'll never hurt you.

# Never

# I'll never hurt you

# Never

# No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

# Never

# I'll never hurt you

# Never

# I'll never hurt you... #

APPLAUSE

Now then, at number 49,

it's Dancing With The Captain and Paul Nicholas.

Yoo-hoo!

# Do-do, do-do-do

# Do-do, do-do-do

# Do-do, do-do-do

# Do-do

# Whoo!

# It was full steam ahead, destination unknown

# I asked our position

# The crew didn't know

# They were all jigging

# Up in the rigging

# Cos the captain loves to rock and roll

# Loves to rock and roll

# I looked out to sea

# There was no land in sight

# The ship kept on sailing

# Right into the night

# Everyone cheering, nobody steering

# But we seemed to be doing all right

# Everybody was dancing with the captain

# Everybody was dancing with the captain

# Just look at 'em

# Dancing with the captain

# Well, we all had fun the whole night long

# And the ship sailed on

# Whoo!

# Pretty soon, the captain was out of control

# He said, "This is the place if you got the soul"

# Keep on cruising

# Let's have the music

# Your captain loves to rock and roll

# Everybody was dancing with the captain

# Everybody was dancing with the captain

# Just look at 'em Dancing with the captain

# Well, we all had fun the whole night long

# And the ship sailed on

# Whoo!

# Dancing with the captain

# Just look at 'em Dancing with the captain

# Dancing with the captain

# Well, we all had fun the whole night long

# And the ship sailed on. #

Oh, oh, how to get sea sick on Top Of The Pops.

Ladies and gentlemen, at number 18, I'll Meet You At Midnight,

a beautiful tune from the one and only Smokie!

# A summer evening on the Champs-Elysees

# A secret rendezvous they planned for days

# A sea of faces in a crowded cafe

# A sound of laughter as the music plays

# Jean-Claude was a student at the universite

# Louise-Marie was just a world away

# He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter

# The words were music as she turned away

# I'll meet you at midnight

# Under the moonlight

# I'll meet you at midnight

# But Jean-Claude and Louise-Marie will never be

# Each cigarette would light a thousand faces

# Each hour that passed seemed like a thousand years

# Midnight was turning into empty spaces

# The sound of laughter disappeared

# I'll meet you at midnight

# Under the moonlight

# I'll meet you at midnight

# But Jean-Claude and Louise-Marie will never be

# A summer morning on the Champs-Elysees

# The empty table in the street cafe

# The sunlight melting through an open doorway

# Jean-Claude was left to face another day

# I'll meet you at midnight

# Under the moonlight

# I'll meet you at midnight

# I'll meet you at midnight

# Under the moonlight

# I'll meet you at midnight

# But Jean-Claude and Louise-Marie will never be. #

APPLAUSE

Oh, yes, indeedy. How about all that, then?

Now we'll see some of our guys and gals and DJs.

Goodness, gracious - look at these lovely ladies and these lurking at the back.

Now it's been number one for ages and ages, but still a great tune.

Would you believe, of course, Dancing Queen, ABBA.

How are you, ladies and gentlemen? Very well.

See you next week for another edition of Top Of The Pops. God bless.
