Episode 6 Sounds of the Eighties

Tonight on Sounds Of The '80s, Motorhead, ZZ Top, U2,

Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi,

INXS, The Cult, and The Mission.

Welcome to Chart Challenge, testing your knowledge of pop prats.

And on the programme as usual we have

an old has-been who needs the money,

a nobody who needs the publicity,

and Tim Rice, who needs a smack in the mouth.

Who is this well-known rock band?

# If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man

# You win some, lose some It's all the same to me

# The pleasure is to play It makes no difference what you say

# I don't share your greed

# The only card I need Is the ace of spades

# The ace of spades

# Playing for the high one, dicing with the devil,

# Going with the flow, it's all a game to me

# Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you

# Double up or quits, double stake or split, the ace of spades

# The ace of spades

# You know I'm born to lose and gambling's for fools

# But that's the way I like it, baby I don't wanna live for ever!

# And don't forget the joker!

# Pushing up the ante I know you got to see me

# Read 'em and weep The dead man's hand again

# I see it in your eyes Take one look and die

# The only thing you see

# You know it's gonna be The ace of spades

# The ace of spades! #

-Dunno? No?

-No.

I'll give you a clue. You're their lead singer.

..No?

No. All right. Can you pick this one up, Annie?

# When you wake up in the morning and the light is at your head

# The first thing you do when you get up out of bed

# You hit them streets a-running and you try to beat the masses

# Go get yourself some cheap sunglasses

# Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah

# Spied a little thing and I followed her all night

# In funky fine Levis and a sweater kinda tight

# She had a West Coast strut

# That was sweet as molasses

# But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses

-#

-Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah

# Go out and get yourself some thick black frames

# With the glass so dark they won't even know your name

# And the choice is up to you

# Cos they come in two classes

# Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

-#

-Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah

-#

-Oh, yeah!

-#

-Vic?

-Lovely. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

They had nice hair. I enjoyed his beard.

I can't see how you can knock pop singers with beards.

# I will follow

# I was on the outside

# When you say, you say you needed me

# I was looking at myself I was blind, I could not see

# Ah!

# A boy tries hard to be a man His mother takes him by his hand

# If he stops to think he starts to cry, oh, why?

-# If you walk away, walk away

-Walk away, walk away

# I will follow

-# If you walk away, walk away

-Walk away, walk away

# I will follow

# Follow

# I was on the inside when they pulled all four walls down

# I was looking through the window I was lost, I am found

# Walk away, walk away Walk away, walk away

# I will follow

# Walk away, walk away Walk away, walk away

# I will follow

# Ah!

# Sssshhh!

# Your eyes make a circle

# I see you when I go in there

# It's your eyes

# Your eyes

# It's your eyes

# Your, your eyes

# Oh!

# You walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away

# I will follow

# If you walk away, walk away I walk away, walk away

# I will follow

# I will follow

# I will follow

# I will follow

# I will follow! #

Thank you!

Thank you! Goodnight. We'll see you. Bye-bye.

Pete's an old headbanger!

You asked me about the record, which I'm happy to talk about.

If we'd played it in 1967

-it would have been as successful as it will be now. I like it.

-Yes?

# Born down in a dead man's town

# The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

# End up like a dog that's been beat too much

# Till you spend half your life covering up

# Born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# Born in the USA

# Got in a little hometown jam

# So they put a rifle in my hand

# Sent me off to a foreign land

# To go and kill the yellow man

# Born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# Come back home to the refinery

# Hiring man said, "Son, if it was up to me..."

# Went down to see my VA man

# He said, "Son, don't you understand, now?"

# I had a brother at Khesan

# Fighting off the Viet Cong

# They're still there He's all gone, gone, gone, gone

# He had a woman he loved in Saigon

# I got a picture of him in her arms, now

# Down in the shadow of the penitentiary

# Out by the gas fires of the refinery

# I'm ten years burning down the road

# Nowhere to run, nowhere to go

# Born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# I was born in the USA

# I'm a long-gone daddy in the USA, now

# I'm a cool rockin' daddy in the USA, now! #

This was recorded by the Doolollies between 2.00 and 4.00 on 7 January.

Lou Walrus, the man who made the Supremes, I think he mixed it.

Buddy Lobb, the lead singer, he was wearing green underpants and socks.

It was in the charts for 15½ weeks.

The first copy of the record was sold to a guy called Eric.

Oh! Yeah.

# Young and wired

# Just set to explode in the heat

# You won't tire

# Cos baby was born with the beat

# Take you higher than you've ever known

# She'll set you down on your knees

# Then pick you up when you've had enough

# You been burned, baby, lessons learned

-In and out of love

-In and out of love

# Too much is never enough

# We're gonna get you

# Running wild

# That's me and my boys on the streets

# Right on time

# She's here to make my night complete

# Then I'm long gone, I got another show

# There's one more town, one mile to go

# One endless night of fantasy

# Is all she left of her with me

-#

-In and out of love

-# Hear what I'm saying

Tim, very easy one for you.

Yah. This was recorded originally on Warner Brothers WB1.

LAUGHTER

It was the first release by Warner Brothers in the States, in 1960.

It was Number One for eight weeks.

# On the talkback show

# On the radio

# Down at the local bar

# In the hot traffic by the red tail-lights

# Everybody's down on their knees

# Listen like thieves

# But who needs that?

# When it's all in your hands

# And take it down

# To the end of town

# Where they have control

# But they're losing touch when the lights go out

# Everybody's down on their knees

# Listen like thieves

# But who needs that?

# When it's all in your hands

# Everybody's down on their knees

# Listen like thieves for the answers

# But who needs that?

# When you got it all in your hands

# It's all in your hands

# It's all in your hands

# Yeah

# Oh

# Oh

# You are all you need

# Yes, you are all you need

# And that's everything

# Stop hesitating

# There's no time to waste

# You just do it for yourself

# I said everybody's down on their knees

# Listen like thieves

# But who needs that

# When it's all in your hands

# You got it all, yeah

# You got it all, yeah

# It's all in your hands

# You got it all, got it all

# I said everybody's down on their knees

# Listen like thieves

# But who needs that

# When it's all in your hands! #

Can you pick this one up, Annie?

# My baby done left me! #

Hardly surprising.

I know the answer.

Surprise, surprise. Too late. Right...

# Oh, the heads that turn

# Make my back burn

# And those heads that turn

# Make my back, make my back burn, baby

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# The sparkle in your eyes

# Keeps me alive

# The sparkle in your eyes

# Keeps me alive, keeps me alive

# The world

# The world turns around

# Yeah, the world

# The world drags me down

# The world

# The world turns around

# The world

# The world drags me down... #

-Pete Murray?

-I liked it. It was snappy, it had something to say.

I think the kids'll go for it.

Shall we vote? It seems to be obvious, but...

I must say something!

It's offensive for the BBC

to allow this old TV clip on the Alexei Sayle Show

without even having the courtesy of asking our permission!

What I find even more offensive

is the way they use these clips out of context just to get cheap laughs!

# She's got her head in the clouds

# She's got the stars in her eyes
