Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley, and If I Had Words.

It makes you want to be back at school again, doesn't it?

Here's one that's gone straight in at number 21.

Love Is Like Oxygen, and it comes from Sweet.

# Love is like oxygen

# You get too much

# You get too high

# Not enough and you're going to die

# Love gets you high

# Love is like oxygen

# You get too much

# You get too high

# Not enough and you're going to die

# Love gets you high

# Time on my side

# I got it all

# I've heard that pride

# Always comes before a fall

# There's a rumour Going around the town

# That you don't want me around

# I can't shake off my city blues

# Every way I turn I lose

# Love is like oxygen

# You get too much

# You get too high

# Not enough and you're going to die

# Love gets you high

# Love is like oxygen

# You get too much

# You get too high

# Not enough and you're going to die

# Love gets you high

# Time is no healer

# If you're not there

# Lonely fever

# Sad words in the air

# Some things are better left unsaid

# I'm going to spend my days in bed

# I'll walk the streets at night

# To be hidden by the city lights

# City lights

# Love is like oxygen. #

APPLAUSE

That's the title as well. Fabulous album.

Sweet, straight in at number 21.

The hits go on and on on Top Of The Pops,

and we have the lovely Legs & Co to dance to the number 12 sound.

From Heatwave, it's called Groove Line.

# Pack your grip

# Taking you on a trip

# Ain't no seats

# All we got's dancing feet

# Leave your worries behind

# Cos rain, shine, won't mind

# We're riding on the groove line

# Tonight

# Get this train

# Know you'll be glad you came

# Hit the track

# Party hard there and back

# Leave your worries behind

# Cos rain, shine, won't mind

# We're riding on the groove line

# Tonight

# Check out the wheels are turning

# You know we won't stop

# We got this boiler burning

# We're keeping it hot

# So grab your friends

# Get the train coming through

# Climb on board

# Where you leave's up to you

# Leave your worries behind

# Cos rain, shine, won't mind

# We're riding on the groove line

# Tonight

# Leave your worries behind

# Cos rain, shine, won't mind. #

APPLAUSE

There's one way to keep fit, but who can dance like Legs & Co?

That was Heatwave, with Groove Line.

Try dancing to THIS one. Number 18. Rod Stewart, with Hot Legs.

# Who's that knocking on my door

# It's got to be a quarter to four

# Is it you again?

# Coming round for more

# Well, you can love me tonight If you want

# In the morning Make sure you're gone

# I'm talking to you

# Hot legs

# Wearing me out

# Hot legs

# You can scream and shout

# Hot legs

# Are you still in school?

# I love you, honey

# Got a most persuasive tongue

# You promise all kinds of fun

# But what you don't understand

# I'm a working man

# Going to need a shot of vitamin E

# By the time you're finished with me

# I'm talking to you

# Hot legs

# You're an alley cat

# Hot legs

# You scratch my back

# Hot legs

# Bring your mother too

# I love you, honey... #

APPLAUSE

That's the number 18 sound there. Hot Legs from Rod Stewart,

and on the other side, another smash hit called I Was Only Joking.

Right now, here's the number-three song.

A lovely sing-along song from Brotherhood Of Man.

A story about Figaro.

# Every morning When the sun is dawning

# You'll see him down on the beach

# Look out, girls, beware Better take good care

# Keep yourselves out of reach

# He's out to make a killing, girl

# He's out to make a score

# And maybe if you're willing, girl

# He's going to ask for more

# Oh, oh, Figaro

# He's got magico, oh

# Oh, oh, Figaro, he's a Romeo, oh

# See him down on the beach

# He'll be looking for someone new

# Searching down on the beach

# Figaro, Figaro

# When he plays guitar

# At the disco bar

# He's the star of the show

# As the girls go by He just winks an eye

# See those pretty girls glow

# He's out to make a killing, girl

# When dancing on the floor

# And maybe if you're willing, girl

# He's going to ask for more

# Oh, oh, Figaro He's got magico, oh

# Oh, oh, Figaro, he's a Romeo, oh

# See him down on the beach

# He'll be looking for someone new

# Searching down on the beach

# Figaro, Figaro. #

APPLAUSE

That's Figaro from Brotherhood Of Man.

I tell you what, For A Few Dollars More,

I'll show you the brand-new hit from Smokie.

# Rich girl, she buys her dreams

# It's a rich world behind the scenes

# Green eyes, they tell it all

# The more she takes The harder they fall

# Now, she ain't easy but she ain't tough

# She's had it good but, then, she's had it rough

# But I guess it don't come to much

# With all she's got She ain't got enough

# So she'll cry just a little for a few dollars more

# And she'll lie just a little like she's done it before

# She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more

# She'll show you her heart then she'll show you the door

# You know she'll die just a little for a few dollars more

# Even fly just a little like she's done it before

# She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more

# She'll show you her heart then she'll show you the door

# Strange things can happen to you

# When you got so much and you got nothing to do

# Oh, what do you know?

# How do you get there when there's nowhere to go? #

GUITAR SOLO

# And so you wonder just what she'll do

# She's never known love Then, she's never known you

# And it's too bad Those sad brown eyes

# They were so full of questions and so full of lies

# And she'll cry just a little for a few dollars more

# She'll lie just a little like she's done it before

# She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more

# She'll show you her heart then she'll show you the door

# She'll die just a little for a few dollars more

# Even fly just a little like she's done it before

# She'll take it, she'll fake it for a few dollars more

# She'll show you her heart then she'll show you the door. #

GUITAR SOLO

APPLAUSE

One of the new entries, straight in at 28, for Smokie, and A Few Dollars More.

This has got to be my favourite. It's slushy, it's lovely and it's Rose Royce.

# I'm wishing on a star

# To follow where you are

# I'm wishing on a dream

# To follow what it means

# I'm wishing on a star

# To follow where you are

# I'm wishing on a dream

# To follow what it means

# And I wish on all the rainbows that I've seen

# I wish on all the people who really dream

# And I'm wishing on tomorrow Praying it'll come

# And I'm wishing on all the loving we've ever done

# I never thought I'd see

# A time when you would be

# So far away from home

# So far away from me

# Just think of all the moments

# That we spent

# I just can't let you go For me, you were meant

# And I didn't mean to hurt you

# But I know

# That in the game of love You reap what you sow

# I feel it's time we should make up, baby

# I feel it's time for us to get back together

# And make the best of things Oh, baby, when we're together

# Whether or never

# I feel it's time we should make up, baby

# I feel it's time for us to get back together

# And make the best of things Oh, baby, when we're together

# Whether or never... #

-APPLAUSE

-Beautiful. Rose Royce there, Wishing On A Star.

That's my favourite of the moment, at number 26.

This is something we don't normally do on the BBC -

we're going to have a break for Adverts now! They've got No Time To Be 21!

# Life's short Don't make a mess of it

# To the ends of the Earth You'll look for sense in it

# No chances, no plans

# I'll smash the windows of my box I'll be a madman

# It's no time to be 21

# To be anyone

# Hold back, see what you miss of it

# Out of the shadows Into the thick of it

# No maybes, no guessing

# I'm getting wound up The plot sickens

# It's no time to be 21

# To be anyone

# Strip down the bare facts of it

# Into the cold heart No hope and all that

# No chances, no plans

# I think I'll be somebody else Or else a madman

# It's no time to be 21

# To be anyone

# N-n-n-no, no, no

# N-n-n-no, no, no

# Yeah, we'll be your untouchables We'll be your outcasts

# We don't care what you project on us

# It's no time to be 21

# No time to be 21

# No time to be 21

# No time to be 21. #

APPLAUSE

Hope his hand gets better(!)

That's the Adverts, with a number called No Time To Be 21.

I'll see you on Radio 1 tomorrow at 2pm, and here next week.

See you then. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.

# Take a chance on me

# Going to 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 me better

# Cos you know I've got

# So much that I want to 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... #
