01/03/1984 Top of the Pops

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to another Top Of The Pops.

And in this week's program, I can promise you nothing French,

no French farmers,

no French truck drivers and no French footballers.

Merci, mon amies rhythmique, et maintenant,

c'est Matt Bianco avec la melodie, Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was Matt Bianco.

Now, what you probably want to see now, after them,

is a group of long-haired Americans, and we can oblige.

This is Van Halen.

They're at number 20 in our charts with this - this is Jump!

# I get up

# And nothing gets me down

# You got it tough

# I've seen the toughest all around

# And I know

# Baby, just how you feel

# You've got to ro-o-oll with the punches

# To get to what's real

# Oh, can't you see me standing here?

# I've got my back against the record machine

# I ain't the worst that you've seen

# Oh, can't you see what I mean?

# Might as well jump Jump!

# Might as well jump

# Go ahead jump Jump!

# Go ahead and jump

# Aaa-ohh Hey you!

# Who said that?

# Baby, how you been?

# You say you don't know

# You won't know until you begin

# Can't you see me standing here?

# I've got my back against the record machine

# I ain't the worst that you've seen

# Oh, can't you see what I mean?

# Might as well jump Jump!

# Go ahead and jump

# Might as well jump Jump!

# Go ahead and jump

# Jump!

# Oohhh

# Might as well jump Jump!

# Go ahead and jump

# Go ahead and jump... #

That's the current number one record in the United States of America,

from Van Halen. And if you think that's heavy,

how about the Top Of The Pops debut of the excellent Alexei Sayle?

"Hello, John, I understand you've got a new car."

That can't be right, can it? Surely?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The gazelle-like Alexei Sayle,

at number 35 in the charts with Ullo John! Got A New Motor?

And I reckon that's going to go a lot higher.

Five places up from Alexei is Soft Cell at number 30,

with Down In The Subway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Oh oh oh

# Oh oh oh

-# Oh oh oh

-Hmm

# Rain keeps on falling

# Sun refuse to shine

# Baby, quit your stalling

# Oh, I feel like I could cry

# Going down in the subway

# Jump on the train track and die

# Down in the subway

# I hide these tears of mine

# Down in the subway

# I'm going to cry, cry, cry

# Till the end of the line

# Cold-hearted baby

# You're too mean to smile

# Every day is stormy

# Oh, you're one evil child

# I've got so many troubles

# Oh, I feel like I could cry

# Going down in the subway

# Jump on that train track and die

# Red-blooded baby

# You're too tough for me

# I don't mean maybe

# Oh, why don't you let me be?

# Cos I've got so many troubles

# Oh, I feel like I could cry

# Going down in the subway

# Jump on that train track and die

# Jump on that train track and die

# Jump on that train

# Track and die... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Down In The Subway,

-yet another farewell disc from Soft Cell.

-Yes, so they say.

I reckon this next item's going to make your eyes water.

It's from Break Machine,

and it's their hit single called Street Dance.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Everywhere that you may go

# We're jammin' in the street

# All the people that you meet

# Dance to the beat

# If you come to New York City

# You'll never be the wack

# When you see us city kids

# Spinning on our backs

# I like the way he does that dance

# When he glides across the floor

# You know it really blows my mind

# I always yell for more

# I can't believe the things I see

# Like diving on the ground

# Then he's standing on his head

# And groovin' to the sound

# Streetdance streetdance

# Streetdance streetdance

# Streetdance streetdance

# Oh, I

# All the people that we know

# Are rockin' on the one

# On the corner of Chi' town

# They're breakdancing for fun

# At the nightclubs in LA

# Their master mix is on

# On the sidewalks of Detroit

# They're poppin' all night long

# Now just let your body move

# Streetdance streetdance

# Put your feet into the groove

# Streetdance streetdance

# When you feel your body shake

# Streetdance streetdance

# Then you know you've got to break

# Oh, I

# Everywhere that you may go

# We're jammin' in the street

# All the people that you meet

# Dance to the beat

# If you come to New York City

# You'll never be the wack

# When you see us city kids

# Spinning on our backs

# Now just let your body move

# Streetdance streetdance

# Put your feet into the groove

# Streetdance streetdance

# When you feel your body shake

# Streetdance streetdance
