We've got loads of pop music.

We've just been up in Yorkshire

where we've been having a very successful radio week.

Everybody is singing along in all the discos to this one.

Village People still at number 2, with In The Navy.

# In the navy. #

That's the number 2 sound there from Village People

and it's called In The Navy.

Right now, at number 6 is Squeeze with Cool For Cats.

# The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass

# The cowboys take positions in the bushes and the grass

# The squaw is with the corporal She is tied against a tree

# She doesn't mind the language It's the beating she don't need

# She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep

# And he wakes to find the fire's dead

# And arrows in his hats

# And Davy Crockett walks around and says it's cool for cats

-# It's cool for cats

-Cool for cats

# The Sweeney's doing 90 cos they've got the word to go

# To get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow

# They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again

# They're in and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names

# It's funny how their missus always looks the blimmin' same

# And meanwhile at the station There's a couple of likely lads

# Who swear like how's your father and they're very cool for cats

-# They're cool for cats

-Cool for cats

# To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub

# On seeing my reflection I'm looking slightly rough

# I fancy this, I fancy that I want to be so flash

# I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash

# But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash

# And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had

# And everybody tells me It's cool to be a cat

# It's cool for cats

# Cool for cats

# Shake up at the disco And I think I've got a pull

# I ask her lots of questions And she hangs on to the wall

# I kiss her for the first time And then I take her home

# I'm invited in for coffee And I give the dog a bone

# She likes to go to discos But she's never on her own

# I said I'll see you later And I give her some old chat

# But it's not like that on the TV When it's cool for cats

-# It's cool for ca-a-a-ats

-Cool for cats

# Oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is Cool For Cats and they're a fabulous group.

Now, another fabulous group. I want you to look just over there,

cos they're going to dance to Dire Straits and Sultans Of Swing.

Just look over there.

# You get a shiver in the dark

# It's been raining in the park but meantime

# South of the river you stop and you hold everything

# A band is blowing Dixie

# Double-four time

# You feel all right when you hear that music ring

# You step inside but you don't see too many faces

# Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

# Too much competition in other places

# But the horns are blowing that sound

# Way on down south

# Way on down south, London town

# Check out Guitar George

# He knows all the chords

# Mind he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

# This sad old guitar is all he can afford

# When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

# And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

# He's got a daytime job he's doing all right

# He can play the honky-tonk like anything

# Saving it up for Friday night

# With the Sultans

# With the Sultans of Swing. #

APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen the number 8 sound there,

that's called Sultans Of Swing from Dire Straits.

Generation X and Valley Of The Dolls at number 40.

This is going to be my favourite, at number 4,

it's the sound of Chic and I Want Your Love.

# I want your love I want your love

# I want your love I want your love

# Do you feel like you ever want

# To try my love and see how well it fits

# Baby, can't you see when you look at me

# I can't kick this feelin' when it hits

# All alone in my bed at night

# I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight

# I think of you

# And I dream of you all of the time

# What am I gonna do?

# I want your love I want your love

# I want your love I want your love

# Sometime don't you feel

# Like you never really had a love that's real

# Well, here I am and who's to say

# A better love you won't find today

# Just one chance and I will show you love

# Like no other two steps above

# On your ladder

# I'll be a peg

# I want your loving

# Please don't make me beg

# I want your love I want your love

# I want your love I want your love

# I want your love I need your love

# I'll share my dreams And make you see

# How really bad your love, I need

# I want your love I need your love

# Just like above. #

That's the sound of Chic and I Want Your Love.

This has the most unusual title -

Offshore Banking Business from Members.

# Bermuda in the Bahamas

# Fund streams and returns

# They're doing more than growing bananas

# They've got a tax dodge going on

# Offshore banking business

# International crime

# Offshore banking business

# Happening all the time

# Banks and corporations

# Are registered and operating there

# They don't employ any local staff

# And I don't know if you are aware

# One American

# Sitting at a desk with a plaque outside on the wall

# You know

# That's what they call

# Offshore banking business

# Some kind of financial thing, yeah

# Offshore banking business

# You've got to swing up there from the trees

# You've got your pennies in the pound, heads going round

# With your fat, shark fingers

# As I was saying, who wants to know

# I want to say, I want to know

# Who's got my money?

# Who's got my cheques?

# Why is everybody trying to steal my things?

# Guy in the City, guy in the news

# Everybody giving me

# The financial blues, yeah

# Like you

# Who's behind this operation?

# I'll tell you what I know

# Newspaper barons and oil tycoons

# Watching their money grow

# It's not an idle rumour

# No, no scandal talk

# All the profits are washed through

# Curacao, Panama, New York

# Offshore banking business

# You'd better watch your change, Jim

# Offshore banking business

# IMF never going to let you in with it

# Offshore banking business

# You think it's just money that counts

# Offshore banking business

Offshore Banking Business - that comes from Members.

The Jacksons. I'll tell you who we have now,

you probably saw them on Saturday.

They come from Israel, they've never been in this country before

but they won the Eurovision Song Contest. It's Milk And Honey, and Hallelujah.

# Hallelujah, sing a song

# Hallelujah, we'll follow along

# With a simple word, a single word

# We'll bless the sky, the tree, the bird

# And we'll fill our heart with joy

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, sounds of love

# Hallelujah, the sunshine above

# Hallelujah, the bells will go ringing

# And dinging from dawn till night

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, day by day

# Hallelujah, don't throw it away

# Fly and spread your wings, have a try

# Be free again like a butterfly

# Come along and sing with us

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, sounds of love

# Hallelujah, the sunshine above

# Hallelujah, the bells will go ringing

# And dinging from dawn till night

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, hand in hand

# Hallelujah, all over the land

# Hallelujah, let's try from the start

# And sing it with all our heart

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, sounds of love

# Hallelujah, the sunshine above

# Hallelujah, the bells will go ringing

# And dinging from dawn till night

# Hallelujah

# Hallelujah, the bells will go ringing

# And dinging from dawn till night

# Hallelujah! #

APPLAUSE

Milk And Honey with Hallelujah - congratulations on winning the Eurovision Song Contest.

I didn't manage to see it cos I was thinking up some jokes for the radio show.

Anyhow, here comes The Jam.

# Found myself in a strange town

# Though I've only been here for three weeks now

# I've got blisters on my feet

# Trying to find a friend in Oxford Street

# I bought an A-to-Z guide book

# Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs

# But when you ask in a strange town

# They say don't know, don't care And I've got to go, mate

# They worry themselves about feeling low

# They worry themselves about the dreadful snow

# They all ignore me cos they don't know

# I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs

# You've got to move in a straight line

# You've got to walk and talk in 4/4 time

# You can't be weird in a strange town

# You'll be betrayed by your accent and manners

# You've got to wear the right clothes

# Be careful not to pick or scratch your nose

# You can't be nice in a strange town

# Cos we don't know, don't care And we got to go, man

# Rush my money to the record shops

# I don't care about fashion and I wear a suit

# We got our own manifesto Be kind to queers

# And I'm so glad the revolution's here

# It's nice and warm now

# I've finished with clubs where the music's loud

# Cos I don't see a face in a single crowd

# There's no-one there

# I look in the mirror but I can't be seen

# Just a thin, clean layer of Mr Sheen

# Looking back at me

# Oh, oh

# Oh, ohh

# Found myself in a strange town

# Though I've only been here for three weeks now

# I've got blisters on my feet

# Trying find a friend in Oxford Street

# I bought an A-to-Z guide book

# Trying to find the clubs and YMCAs

# When you ask in a strange town

# They say don't know, don't care And I've got to go, mate

# They worry themselves about feeling low

# They worry themselves about the dreadful snow

# They all ignore me cos they don't know

# I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs

# Strange town

# Strange town

# Break it up, break it up

# Break it up, break it up

# Break it up, break it up

# Break it up, break it up

# Make it up, break it up

# Burn it down, shake it up

# Break it up, break it up. #

APPLAUSE

That stands at number 16, The Jam there with Strange Town.

Here's the number 1 sound from Gloria Gaynor.

She's still there, I Will Survive.

# At first I was afraid I was petrified

# Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

# But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

# And I grew strong and I learnt how to get along

# And so you're back from outer space

# I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

# I should have changed that stupid lock

# I should have made you leave your key

# If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

# Go on, now, go

# Walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome any more

# Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I

# I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love

# I know I'll stay alive

# I've got all my life to live

# I've got all my love to give

# And I'll survive

# I will survive

# Hey-hey

# It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

# Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

# And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself

# I used to cry

# But now I hold my head up high

# And you see me

# Somebody new

# I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you

# And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free

# And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

# Go on, now, go

# Walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome any more

# Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I

# I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love

# I know I'll stay alive

# I've got all my life to live

# I've got all my love to give

# And I'll survive

# I will survive

# Oh

# Go on, now, go

# Walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome any more

# Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I

# I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love... #

APPLAUSE

That's Gloria Gaynor and I Will Survive, still at number 1.

I wonder if that's going to be at number 1 next week?

We shall have to tune in! Thanks very much for watching,

see you next week for Top Of The Pops, bye-bye.
