The

The top

The top Christmas

The top Christmas tune of all time I reckon.

Next a wintry pop from the frozen world of Abba mainly. The set

dressing here is rather fru gismt that's what Chris -- fru gismt

that's what Christmas was like in # Honey, I'm still free

# If you've got no place to go If you're feeling down

# If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

# Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

# Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

# If you put me to the test If you let me try

# Take a chance on me

# That's all I ask of you, honey

# Take a chance on me

# We can go dancing

# We can go walking

# As long as we're together

# Listen to some music

# Maybe just talking

# Get to know you better

# Cos you know I've got so much that I wanna do

# When I dream I'm alone with you It's magic

# You want me to leave it there Afraid of a love affair

# But I think you know

# That I can't let go

# If you change your mind I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

# If you need me, let me know Gonna be around

# If you've got no place to go If you're feeling down

# If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

# Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

# Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

# If you put me to the test If you let me try

# Take a chance on me

# Come on Give me a break, will you?

# Take a chance on me

# Oh, you can take your time, baby I'm in no hurry

# Know I'm gonna get you

# You don't wanna hurt me

# Baby, don't worry

# I ain't gonna let you

# Let me tell you now

# My love is strong enough

# To last when things are rough

# It's magic

# You say that I waste my time

# But I can't get you off my mind

# No, I can't let go

# Cos I love you so

# If you change your mind I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

# If you need me, let me know Gonna be around

# If you've got no place to go If you're feeling down

# If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

# Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me

# Gonna do my very best Baby, can't you see

# Gotta put me to the test Take a chance on me... #

Cuddling

Cuddling together

Cuddling together for

Cuddling together for warmth, Abba. Christmas is a time of joy and

goodwill, but criminals are still out and about. Some thief has

broken into Chris Martin's house and stolen the front of his piano.

You play the first few few bars and then it remembers the tune and

# I've got all kinds of poison in # When you're still waiting for

# It doesn't really feel like # And I'm up here, holding on

# Singing how I've always loved you # Oh, when you're still waiting for

# It doesn't really feel like # It doesn't...

# Oh, Christmas lights # And then all my troubles

# Oh, oh, ohh Ohh, oh, oh, oh

# Those Christmas lights

# Light up the streets

# Light up the fireworks in me

# May all your troubles soon be gone

# Those Christmas lights keep shining on. #

Well,

Well, yes,

Well, yes, thanks

Well, yes, thanks Chris, too late too late. How does the song go, it

doesn't really feel like Christmas at all? After we have blown the

budget on the lanterns. Oh well, let's go down the pub. I hear they

have a band on and one of the members used to be in a famous pop

Ah, woolly hats, scarfs. We made our own fun in those days. This is

exciting, incredible footage not seen since 1973. Feel the raw power

# Strung out on lasers # And ate all your razors

Talking 'bout Monroe Walkin' on Snow White

# New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice

# Poor Jean Genie

# Hey Jean Genie lives on his back

# The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks

# He's outrageous He screams and he bawls

# Jean Genie, let yourself go

# Sits like a man but smiles like a reptile

# She loves him, she loves him But just for a short while

# Scratch in the sand Won't let go your hand

# He says he's a beautician but sells you nutrition

# Keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear

# Poor Jean Genie

# Hey, hey Jean Genie lives on his back

Wow

Wow that

Wow that was

Wow that was amazing, live on Top of the Pops, David Bow oy and the

late and great Mick Ronsin. Don't you get me all that jive about-

Now, I'm the guy named Kurtis Blow So every year, just about this time

'Bout a red-suited dude with a friendly attitude

And a sleigh full of goodies for for the people on the block

Got a long white beard Maybe looks kinda weird

And if you ever see him He could give you a quite shock

People, let me tell ya about last year

When the dude came flying over here

Well, the hawk was out Snow was on the ground

Folks stayed in to party down

The beat was thumping on the box and I was dancing in my socks

And the drummer played at a solid pace

And a taste of the bass was in my face

And the guitar player laid down a heavy layer

Of the funky, junky rhythm of the disco feet

Check it out, New York

And the guy with the 88s started to participate

And I could sure appreciate a sound so sweet

We were all in the mood So we had a little food

And a joke, and a smoke and a little bit of wine

When I thought I heard a hoof on the top of the roof

Could it be or was it me? I was feeling super fine

So I went to the atticWhere I thought I heard the static

On the chance that it was somebody breaking in

But the noise on the top was a reindeer clop

Just a trick Saint Nick And I let the sucker in

He was roly, he was poly and I said, "Holy moly

"You got a lot of whiskers on your chinny-chin-chin"

I said, "You're right It's cold tonight

"But can you stop for a drop before you go?"

He said, "Why not If the music's hot

"And I'll chance to dance beneath the mistletoe"

And before he went This fine old gent

Found a gift with a sift through his big red bags

And the grown-ups got some presents too

A new TV and a stereo

A new Seville 'bout as blue as the sky

The best that money couldn't buy

Cos the dude in red's back at the pole

Up north, where everything is cold

But if he were right here tonight he'd say, "Merry Christmas"

And to all

Get down, stop messing around when Kurtis Blow is in your town

I'm pretty dope on the microphone A place called Harlem was my home

I was rocking one day and started to shake

It sound to me like a earthquake

I packed my bags, I said goodbye

I kissed my woman and I started to fly

I came to Earth by a meteorite to rock you all on the mike

So kick off your shoes Let your fingers pop

Kurtis Blow's just about ready to rock

Now, the people in the back If you're not the whack, say...

Don't stop the body rock

The people up front If you want to bump, say...

Don't stop the body rock

The people in the middle If you want the rhythm, say...

Don't stop the body rock

And the people on the side If you want to slide, say...

Don't stop the body rock

Now, the preacher or a teacher or a electrician

A fighter or a writer or a politician

But the man with the key to your ignition

Kurtis Blow is competition

Yo, ladies, shock the houseYoung ladies, rock shock the house

You see Just throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

If you really ready to rock the house this morning

Somebody say, "Oh, yeah..."

Why

Why the

Why the backdrop

Why the backdrop consisted of the TV air conditioning duct, I

couldn't say. Curtis, this is how to do it.

more than you can say for this one. Kids you probably hear your parents

or grand parents rattle on about # His name was Ernie and he drove

# She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22

# They said she was too good for him She was haughty, proud and chic

# But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week

# They called him Ernie

# Ernie

# And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

# She said she'd like to bathe in milk

# He said "All right, sweetheart"

# And when he'd finished work one night

# He loaded up the cart

# He said, "Do you want it pasteurized

# "Cos pasteurized is best?"

# She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest"

# That tickled old Ernie Ernie

# And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

# Now, Ernie had a rival An evil-looking man

# Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van

# He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread

# And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies

# It very near turned her head

# She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said

# "If you treat me right

# "You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night"

# He knew once she sampled his layer cake, he'd have his wicked way

# And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day

# Poor Ernie Ernie

# And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

# One lunchtime, Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door

# It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four

# And as he leapt down from his van

# Hot blood through his veins did course

# And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his horse

# Whose name was Trigger Trigger

# And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west

# Now, Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand

# He said, "If you wanna marry Susie You'll fight for her like a man"

# "Oh, why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied

# "And just to make it interesting We'll have a shilling on the side"

# Now, Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun

# They stood there face to face and Ted went for his bun

# But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned

# And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand

# Now, Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart

# And Ernie, he pushed her aside

# And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart

# And he looked up in pained surprise

# And the concrete hardened crust of a stale pork pie

# Caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust

# Poor Ernie Ernie

# And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

# Ernie was only 52 He didn't wanna die

# Now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky

# Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned

# And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land

# But a woman's needs are manifold and soon she married Ted

# But strange things happened on their wedding night

# As they lay in their bed

# Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate?

# Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?

# They won't forget Ernie... #
