And now, more news of the weather.

0:00:290:00:31

There will be a moderate or severe frost tonight in most districts,

0:00:310:00:35

except the southwest of England.

0:00:350:00:37

It will remain very cold everywhere.

0:00:370:00:40

That's the weather, but now let's forget about it

0:00:410:00:43

and join Late Night Line-up.

0:00:430:00:45

This is the B-side of our single, sports fans, hope it makes you sick.

0:00:480:00:50

I don't really mean that, honestly, we're very nice chaps, really.

0:00:540:00:57

# In the canyons of your mind

0:01:000:01:04

# I will wander through your brain

0:01:070:01:11

# To the ventricles of your heart, my dear

0:01:130:01:18

# I'm in love with you again

0:01:200:01:26

# 'Cross the mountains of your chest

0:01:260:01:29

# I will stick a Union Jack

0:01:330:01:37

# To the forest of your cheek

0:01:390:01:43

# Through the holes in your string vest... #

0:01:450:01:52

Oh, I'll never wash it!

0:01:580:02:00

My darling.

0:02:180:02:19

-In my cardboard-coloured dreams

-# Cardboard-coloured dreams

0:02:210:02:24

-Once again I hear your laugh

-# Ooh ooh ooh

0:02:240:02:27

# Ooh ooh ooh

0:02:290:02:31

And I kiss, yes I kiss your perfumed hair.

0:02:310:02:34

# But she's not there

0:02:340:02:38

The sweet essence of giraffe

0:02:380:02:40

# Of giraffe

0:02:420:02:44

And each time I call your name

0:02:440:02:46

# Frying pan, frying pan

0:02:480:02:51

Oh! Oh! Oh, how it hurts.

0:02:510:02:55

# He's in pain

0:02:560:02:58

In the wardrobe of my soul

0:02:580:03:01

# Oh, my soul

0:03:020:03:04

In the section labelled shirts

0:03:040:03:07

# Ah ah... #

0:03:090:03:12

Ah!

0:03:120:03:13

Oh!

0:03:130:03:14

Oh! Oh, I can't get it together.

0:03:180:03:21

-Do you mean it? I mean it.

-# He means it, yeah... #

0:03:240:03:27

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:03:270:03:30

Raargh.

0:03:310:03:33

We'd like to thank the people at the BBC for giving us a chance to do

0:03:430:03:46

some of the things on television, here, that they would never let us do

0:03:460:03:50

in the United States.

0:03:500:03:52

This song goes out to Tencha, Nacho and...Dencha. Hi!

0:03:590:04:04

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:170:04:20

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:210:04:24

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:240:04:27

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:280:04:32

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:320:04:35

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:350:04:38

# In the sky, in the sky-y

0:04:380:04:44

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:460:04:50

# Oh, in the sky

0:04:500:04:53

# Oh

0:04:540:04:56

# A-h-h

0:04:560:04:59

# Oh, in the sky

0:05:010:05:04

# Oh, in the sky

0:05:040:05:07

# Oh, in the sky

0:05:080:05:11

HE VOCALISES TO THE SAME MELODY

0:05:230:05:26

# In the sky

0:05:450:05:47

# Yeah

0:05:480:05:51

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

0:05:530:05:56

# Oh, in the sky

0:05:580:06:01

# Sky. #

0:06:050:06:09

We're involved in sort of a low-key war against apathy.

0:06:090:06:13

I don't know how you're doing on apathy over there,

0:06:130:06:16

but we got a lot of it, boys and girls.

0:06:160:06:18

A lot of what we do is designed to annoy people

0:06:180:06:23

to the point where they might, just for a second, question enough

0:06:230:06:26

of their environment to do something about it.

0:06:260:06:29

As long as they don't feel their environment,

0:06:290:06:32

they don't worry about it,

0:06:320:06:34

they're not going to do anything to change it.

0:06:340:06:37

And something's got to be done

0:06:370:06:38

before America scarfs up the world and shits on it.

0:06:380:06:40

BBC Two.

0:06:400:06:42

# Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours?

0:06:490:06:53

# But they make it very clear

0:06:560:06:58

# They've got no room for ravers

0:06:580:07:00

# They stop me from grooving They bang on me walls

0:07:040:07:06

# They doing me crust in It's no good at all

0:07:080:07:10

# Lazy Sunday afternoon... #

0:07:110:07:13

The sound of the Small Faces, a young pop group,

0:07:130:07:16

quirky, offbeat, and very successful.

0:07:160:07:18

Tonight they are our guests in Colour Me Pop,

0:07:180:07:20

and here's one of their new numbers, Song Of A Baker.

0:07:200:07:23

# There's wheat in the field

0:07:430:07:45

# And water in the stream

0:07:470:07:48

# And salt in the mine

0:07:540:07:56

# And an aching in me

0:07:580:08:00

# I can no longer stand and wonder

0:08:040:08:08

# Cos I'm driven by this hunger

0:08:090:08:13

# So I'll jug some water, bake some flour

0:08:150:08:20

# Store some salt and wait the hour

0:08:210:08:25

# When thinking of love

0:08:250:08:28

# Love is thinking of me

0:08:300:08:33

# And the baker will come

0:08:370:08:39

# And the baker I'll be

0:08:410:08:44

# I'm depending on my labour

0:08:470:08:51

# The texture and the flavour

0:08:530:08:57

# Hey!

0:08:580:08:59

# I can no longer stand and wonder

0:09:310:09:35

# Cos I'm driven by this hunger

0:09:360:09:40

# So I'll jug some water, bake some flour

0:09:420:09:47

# Store some salt and wait the hour. #

0:09:480:09:52

The Small Faces - Steve Marriott, lead singer and guitarist,

0:10:330:10:36

Ronnie Lane, bass guitarist,

0:10:360:10:38

Kenny Jones, drummer, and Ian McLagan, organist.

0:10:380:10:41

And the Small Faces' new album is one of the most idiosyncratic

0:10:410:10:44

records on the market.

0:10:440:10:45

It's called Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake.

0:10:450:10:47

The Small Faces supply the music, and the storyteller

0:10:470:10:50

is that master of gobbledegook, Professor Stanley Unwin.

0:10:500:10:56

Are you sitting comforty bold too square on your botty?

0:10:560:10:59

Then we'll begin.

0:10:590:11:00

# Blackberry way

0:11:000:11:03

# Absolutely pouring down with rain

0:11:030:11:07

# It's a terrible day

0:11:070:11:09

# Up with the lark

0:11:090:11:11

# Silly girl, I don't know what to say

0:11:130:11:16

# She was running away

0:11:160:11:18

# So now I'm standing on the corner

0:11:190:11:22

# Lost in the things that I said

0:11:230:11:27

# What am I supposed to do now?

0:11:280:11:33

# Goodbye Blackberry Way

0:11:350:11:38

# I can't see you, I don't need you

0:11:390:11:43

# Goodbye Blackberry Way

0:11:430:11:47

# Sure to want me back another day

0:11:480:11:52

# Down to the park

0:11:530:11:55

# Overgrowing but the trees are bare

0:11:560:11:59

# There's a memory there

0:11:590:12:02

# Boats on the lake

0:12:020:12:03

# Unattended now the laughter's drowned

0:12:050:12:08

# I'm incredibly down

0:12:080:12:11

# Just like myself they are neglected

0:12:110:12:15

# Turn with my eyes to the wall

0:12:160:12:19

# What am I supposed to do now?

0:12:200:12:26

# Goodbye Blackberry Way

0:12:270:12:31

# I can't see you, I don't need you

0:12:320:12:36

# Goodbye Blackberry Way

0:12:360:12:40

# Sure to want me back another day

0:12:400:12:44

# Ah-ah-ah

0:12:490:12:53

# Oooh-la ooh-la oooh

0:12:550:12:59

# Ah-ah-ah

0:12:590:13:02

# Run for the train

0:13:040:13:07

# Look behind you for she may be there

0:13:070:13:10

# Said a thing in the air

0:13:100:13:12

# Blackberry Way

0:13:130:13:15

# See the battlefield of careless sins

0:13:150:13:19

# Cast to the winds

0:13:200:13:21

# So full of emptiness without her

0:13:220:13:25

# Lost in the words that I said

0:13:270:13:30

# What am I supposed to do now?

0:13:310:13:37

# Goodbye Blackberry Way

0:13:380:13:42

# Sure to want me back another day. #

0:14:100:14:16

# Thank you for the days

0:14:240:14:28

# Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

0:14:290:14:32

# I'm thinking of the days

0:14:320:14:37

# I won't forget a single day, believe me

0:14:380:14:41

# I bless the light

0:14:420:14:44

# I bless the light that lights on you, believe me

0:14:440:14:48

# And though you're gone

0:14:500:14:51

# You're with me every single day, believe me

0:14:510:14:55

# Days I'll remember all my life

0:14:570:15:01

# Days when you can't see wrong from right

0:15:020:15:06

# You took my life

0:15:060:15:08

# But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me

0:15:080:15:11

# But it's all right

0:15:130:15:15

# Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me

0:15:150:15:19

# I wish today could be tomorrow

0:15:200:15:25

# The night is dark

0:15:250:15:27

# It just brings sorrow, let it wait

0:15:270:15:30

# Thank you for the days

0:15:330:15:38

# Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

0:15:380:15:42

# I'm thinking of the days

0:15:430:15:47

# You're with me every single day, believe me

0:16:500:16:54

# Days. #

0:16:560:17:03

Be it sight, sound, the smell, the touch,

0:17:130:17:17

There's something inside that we need so much.

0:17:170:17:21

The sight of a touch or the scent of a sound

0:17:210:17:24

Or the strength of an oak root deep in the ground

0:17:240:17:27

The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up

0:17:270:17:31

Through tarmac to the sun again.

0:17:310:17:34

Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing.

0:17:340:17:37

To lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing.

0:17:370:17:40

To have all these things in our memory's hoard

0:17:400:17:43

And we use them to help us to find...

0:17:430:17:46

LAUGHTER

0:17:460:17:48

# Ride, ride my see-saw

0:18:020:18:05

# Take this place on this trip just for me

0:18:050:18:10

# Ride, take a free ride

0:18:130:18:16

# Take my place, have my seat, it's for free

0:18:160:18:21

# I worked like a slave for years

0:18:230:18:26

# Sweat so hard just to end my fears

0:18:260:18:29

# Not to end my life a poor man

0:18:290:18:32

# But by now I know I should have run

0:18:320:18:38

# Run, run my last race

0:18:480:18:51

# Take my place, have this number of mine

0:18:510:18:56

# Run, run like a fire

0:18:580:19:02

# Don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time

0:19:020:19:06

# Left school with a first place pass

0:19:090:19:12

# Started work but as second class

0:19:120:19:15

# School taught one and one is two

0:19:150:19:18

# But right now that answer just ain't true

0:19:180:19:25

# Ah ah ah ah

0:19:270:19:30

# Ah ah ah ah

0:19:300:19:33

# Ah ah ah ah-ah

0:19:330:19:39

# Ah ah ah ah

0:19:400:19:42

# Ah ah ah ah

0:19:420:19:45

# Ah ah ah ah-ah

0:19:450:19:52

# My world is spinning around

0:20:200:20:22

# Everything is lost that I found

0:20:240:20:26

# People run, come ride with me

0:20:260:20:29

# Let's find another place that's free

0:20:290:20:36

# Ride my see-saw

0:20:390:20:43

# Ride... #

0:20:450:20:47

And there are those who demand that pop music is nothing

0:20:470:20:50

but the grotesque mumblings of a drug-sodden youth,

0:20:500:20:53

others that it is making possible the most startling artistic upheaval

0:20:530:20:57

since the Renaissance.

0:20:570:20:58

Others still, that it is merely the harmless entertainment

0:20:580:21:01

of adolescence.

0:21:010:21:03

Everyone, however, demands the existence of heroes.

0:21:030:21:07

Heroes, that is, who can be worshipped,

0:21:070:21:09

whether they be gods, generals, lone yachtsmen,

0:21:090:21:12

television personalities, cultural leaders,

0:21:120:21:14

or pop stars.

0:21:140:21:16

Our actual intention is to play out all the adrenaline

0:21:160:21:19

and all the aggression

0:21:190:21:20

and show the audience that you ARE a frustrated character,

0:21:200:21:24

that you DO want to get something out of your system,

0:21:240:21:26

and you DO want to do it in front of them.

0:21:260:21:29

It's got much more to do with art and music than people imagine.

0:21:290:21:32

Much, much more to do with pop music than anything else.

0:21:320:21:35

# Why don't you all f-fade away

0:21:350:21:38

# Don't try and dig what we all s-say

0:21:390:21:43

# I'm not trying to cause a big s-sensation

0:21:430:21:48

# I'm just talking about my g-generation

0:21:490:21:53

# My generation

0:21:530:21:55

# This is my generation, baby... #

0:21:550:21:58

The cost of a pop group's equipment - guitars, drums, amplifiers,

0:22:000:22:04

speakers and microphones - is about £1,000. 2,500.

0:22:040:22:08

In Peoria, Illinois, The Who play out their adrenaline

0:22:080:22:11

at the Opera House.

0:22:110:22:12

FEEDBACK SQUEALS

0:22:260:22:28

We wanted to blow their minds, you know, go on and go brrr, dggggt.

0:23:280:23:31

Turn up the amplifier so that they couldn't hear themselves think.

0:23:310:23:34

# Wild thing

0:23:460:23:48

# You make my heart sing

0:23:510:23:54

# You make everything

0:23:580:24:00

# Wild thing

0:24:040:24:06

#Yeah

0:24:090:24:10

# Come on and sock it to me one time

0:24:110:24:15

# You move me

0:24:190:24:21

# Wild thing

0:24:340:24:36

# You make my heart sing

0:24:390:24:42

# Hey

0:24:430:24:44

# You make everything groovy

0:24:460:24:49

# Hey

0:24:510:24:52

# Wild thing

0:24:520:24:54

# Wild thing, I think I love you. #

0:25:510:25:54

I can't express myself in, you know, conversation.

0:25:560:25:59

I can't explain myself like this or that, sometimes,

0:25:590:26:01

cos, you know, it just doesn't come out like that.

0:26:010:26:03

So when...excuse me ..when we're on stage,

0:26:030:26:05

it's all in the world, that's your whole life.

FEEDBACK RESONATES

0:26:220:26:24

HE PLAYS THE FEEDBACK

0:26:360:26:38

As an ear specialist,

0:27:030:27:05

I have been quite concerned over the possibility that the noise

0:27:050:27:08

produced by these groups may produce both temporary

0:27:080:27:12

and permanent damage to the human ear.

0:27:120:27:14

Thank you for being with us, and this is John Ross-Barnard,

0:27:140:27:17

# Well, my pad is very messy

0:28:050:28:06

# And there's whiskers on my chin

0:28:060:28:08

# And I'm all hung up on music

0:28:080:28:10

# And I always play to win

0:28:100:28:12

# I ain't got no time for loving

0:28:120:28:14

# Cos my time is all used up

0:28:140:28:16

# Just to sit around creating

0:28:160:28:18

# All that groovy kind of stuff

0:28:180:28:19

# But I'm a man, yes I am

0:28:190:28:22

# And I can't help but love you so

0:28:220:28:25

# No, no, no

0:28:250:28:27

# But I'm a man, yes I am... #
