Dexys and Let's Get This Straight From The Start

Their Come On Eileen, by the way, is potentially going to be

the biggest-selling single of 1982. Right, three brand-new DJs

on Radio 1, that's the good news, this is the first -

-Gary Davies. Gary...

-Hi, Peter.

-Welcome to Top Of The Pops

-and Radio 1, as well.

-Thank you very much, it's really good

-to be here.

-When do you start on Radio 1?

First show is Saturday night between 10 and 12.

And what about music in the charts, what are your current favourites?

Er, I like Culture Club, Blue Zoo, Kid Creole And The Coconuts.

I'm into most music, actually.

I can't tell any accent, where are you from?

-I'm from Manchester.

-And you were working in regional radio up there?

I was working in local radio for three years, yes.

-Now you're on the big one.

-I'm delighted to be here.

Welcome to Top Of The Pops, welcome also to Radio 1

and welcome to Human League.

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ah, ah

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ah, ah

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# The water shines

# A pebble skips across the face

# A dozen times

# Then disappears, not a trace left behind

# The thrower turns and walks away

# A change of mind

# Another start, a brand-new day

# You know I'll change

# If change is what you require

# Your every wish

# Your every dream, hope, desire

# Here comes the mirror man

# Says he's a people fan

# Here comes the mirror man

# And if it seems

# I'm not the one you used to know

# Our little friendship

# Left behind not long ago

# Don't feel too hurt

# As distance heals the strongest pain

# Things are much better now

# And just a nagging doubt remains

# You know I'll change

# If change is what you require

# Your every wish

# Your every dream, hope, desire

# Here comes the mirror man

# Says he's a people fan

# Here comes the mirror man

# Ah, ah

# Here comes the mirror man

# Says he's a people fan

# Here comes the mirror man

# Ah, ah

# Here comes the mirror man

# Says he's a people fan

# Here comes the mirror man

# Ah, ah

# Here comes the mirror man... #

Yes, indeed. That's Mirror Man - Human League.

They were number one this time last year

but number two at the moment.

-And here's number two, Janice Long. Janice...

-Hello.

-Welcome to Top Of The Pops.

-Thank you very much indeed.

-You're from where?

-I'm from Liverpool!

And you're working, also, on regional radio?

That's right, I work for Radio Merseyside and

working for Radio 1 on Saturday 7.30 till 10,

-looking forward to it.

-What kind of music are you going to feature

-on the show?

-Going to be playing all sorts of things,

but we're having sessions and featuring bands from the North

-and the first session that we're doing is from a band called A Flock Of Seagulls.

-Excellent choice.

-Stick around the show, hope you enjoy it.

-I will do, I'm sure.

Look forward to listening to you on Saturday.

-Thank you very much.

-Meanwhile, back in the studio on Top Of The Pops, this is Whitesnake!

# I don't know where I'm going

# But I sure know where I've been

# Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday

# An' I've made up my mind

# I ain't wasting no more time

# But here I go again

# Here I go again

# Though I keep searching for an answer

# I never seem to find what I'm looking for

# Oh, Lord, I pray You give me strength to carry on

# Cos I know what it means

# To walk along the lonely street of dreams

# An' here I go again on my own

# Goin' down the only road I've ever known

# Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

# And I've made up my mind

# I ain't wasting no more time

# I'm just another heart in need of rescue

# Waiting on love's sweet charity

# And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days

# Cos I know what it means

# To walk along the lonely street of dreams

# Here I go again on my own

# Going down the only road I've ever known

# Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

# And I've made up my mind

# I ain't wasting no more time

# But here I go again

# Here I go again

# Here I go again

# Here I go

# And I made up my mind

# I ain't wasting no more time

# Here I go again on my own... #

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again, off their Saints & Sinners LP.

Look out for them starting their tour on December 10th.

OK, third and finally, and the youngest, and one of the tallest,

that's why I've had to put him down a step or two,

-it's Pat Sharp, Pat, welcome to the show.

-Thanks, Peter,

-good evening.

-So you have to get up very early, don't you?

6.00 it starts - Sunday morning. So I have to be up

-about 4.00.

-That gives Radio 1 18 hours of broadcasting

every day, 6 till 12 every day, which is excellent news.

Welcome to the team. Are you a good footballer?

-Nnn... Average.

-Cos we need good footballers

-in the Radio 1 football team.

-You're all getting it together

on the football front, but if you want me,

-it will be for a reasonable fee, you know.

-All right,

well, we'll pay that transfer fee to have some young blood

on the field. And also, Bucks Fizz on Top Of The Pops -

here they are!

# Don't tell me lies

# When you talk about friends you've been doing

# It's no surprise

# To discover the tricks you've been brewing

# Take a look at how you give up your fantasy

# When you turn and run away

# And if you can't stand the heat Keep out of the kitchen

# If you can't stand the cold Don't sleep on the floor

# If you can't, if you can't bear to look

# Wonder what you're missing

# If you can't stand the heat You're no competition

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# Don't play it down

# When you don't have the power to hold it

# Don't play the clown

# If the joke gets no laugh when you've told it

# Take a look at how you give up your fantasy

# When you turn and run away

# And if you can't stand the heat

# Keep out of the kitchen

# If you can't stand the cold

# Don't sleep on the floor

# If you can't, if you can't bear to look

# Wonder what you're missing

# If you can't stand the heat You're no competition

# If you can't stand the

# Can't stand the heat

# Keep out of the kitchen

# If you can't stand the cold

# You're no competition

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# If you can't stand the heat

# Can't stand the heat

# Uh. #

That's Bucks Fizz, who flew in this morning from a European trip.

A massive promotional tour they're doing over there.

That's their new single called If You Can't Stand The Heat.

# Our house, in the middle of our

# I remember way back then when everything was true and when

# We would have such a very good time such a fine time

# Such a happy time

# Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

# And when she shines she really shows you all she can

# Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

# Hey, now, woo, look at that

# Did she nearly run you down

# At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

# You make me feel alive, alive, alive

# I'll take my chance, cos luck is on my side or something

# I know what you're thinking

# I tell you something

# I know what you're thinking

# Her name is Rio She don't need to understand

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# All the things that I care about

# Are packed into one punch

# All the things that I'm not sure about

# So shall it be in the end

# That rubbish is rubbish

# It just goes by different names

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# All the things that I shout about

# But never act upon

# All the courage and the dreams I have

# But seem to wait so long

# My doubt is cast aside

# Watch phonies run to hide

# The dignified don't even enter in the game

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# And if you feel there's no passion

# No quality sensation

# Seize the young determination

# Show the fakers you ain't foolin'

# You'll see me come runnin'

# To the sound of your strummin'

# Fill my heart with joy and gladness

# I've lived too long in the shadows of sadness

# My doubt is cast aside

# Watch phonies run to hide

# The dignified don't even enter in the game

Come on boy, come on girl

# Succumb to the beat, surrender

# Come on boy, come on girl

# When I saw that girl upon your arm

# I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm

# I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"

# But in return, all you could say was "Hi George, meet my fiancee"
