APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "The Crunch" by The Rah Band

INSTRUMENTAL

# The crunch!

INSTRUMENTAL

APPLAUSE

There it is. That's the sound of The Rah Band,

with a number called The Crunch.

I love the guy wearing the zip up the mouth there.

I must get one of those for David Hamilton.

Here's the number six sound from Olivia Newton-John.

It's called Sam.

# I heard that you're on your own now

# So am I

# I'm living alone now

# I was wrong

# So were you

# What will you do?

# Are you glad to be free?

# Are you feeling lost just like me?

# Longing for company

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am

# Come around and talk awhile

# I need your smile

# You need a shoulder

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am

# And the door is open wide

# Come on inside

# Longing to see you

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am

# I find the days hard to pass now

# Empty rooms

# There's much too much space now

# And the nights go so slow

# I'm sure you know

# Wish I knew what to do

# It would be so nice seeing you

# And it might help you too

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am

# Come around and talk awhile

# I need your smile

# You need a shoulder

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am

# And the door is open wide

# Come on inside

# Longing to see you

# Oh, Sam, Sam

# You know where I am. #

APPLAUSE

That was the beautiful Olivia Newton-John, it's called Sam.

Right now, here's a Top of the Pops chart-bound sound, It's Your Life.

And here to sing all about it, a fabulous group, Smokie.

# Who said the web of life is woven in a dream?

# Cos your life is filled with dreams you can't believe

# So the only way you live with it is acting every scene

# And you play the part so well, who's deceived?

# Now and again You find you ain't got a friend

# You know, I come and I go

-# But it's your life

-# Ah-ah

-# It's your life

-# Ooh-ooh

# Said, it's your life

# Ah-ah-ahhh

# Though the world is overcrowded

# You still found an empty place

# And I know he leaves you helpless and confused

# And your search for love has often left you staring into space

# Just another broken heart, so what's the use?

# How many times have I been so hard to find?

# You know I come and I go

-# But it's your life

-# Ah-ah

-# It's your life

-# Ooh-ooh

# Said, it's your life

# Ah-ah-ahhh

# How does it feel when he's not around?

# Can he be real when he can be found nowhere?

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

# Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight?

# And who let herself be led so easily?

# And who let it burn until the early morning light?

# And in the early morning gave herself to me? #

APPLAUSE

That's great, isn't it? That's Smokie there and It's Your Life.

Here's a group who, when they won the Eurovision Song Contest for us

about a couple of years back, they won it for us and ever since then,

they've been turning out some really beautiful records.

To tell us all about the story of Angelo, here's Brotherhood Of Man.

# Long ago, high on a mountain in Mexico

# Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo

# Who met a young girl and he loved her so

# Rich was she, came from a very high family

# Angelo knew it could never be

# They ran away to their destiny

# Running away together, running away forever

# Angelo

# Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger

# Angelo

# They knew it wasn't wrong

# They found a love so strong

# They took their lives that night

# And in the morning light

# They found them on the sand

# They saw them lying there, hand in hand

# Long ago, high on a mountain in Mexico

# Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo

# Who met a young girl and he loved her so

# Running away together, running away forever

# Angelo

# Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger

# Angelo

# They knew it wasn't wrong

# They found a love so strong

# They took their lives that night

# And in the morning light

# They found them on the sand

# They saw them lying there, hand in hand

# Running away together, running away forever

# Angelo

# Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger

# Angelo

# They knew it wasn't wrong

# They found a love so strong

# They took their lives that night

# And in the morning light

# They found them on the sand

# They saw them lying there, hand in hand

# Running away together, running away forever

# Angelo

# Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger

# Angelo

# They knew it wasn't wrong

# They found a love so strong. #

Straight in at number 25 there.

One of those songs that you hear it

and you just keep singing it over and over again.

That's Angelo from Brotherhood Of Man.

Here's Bob Marley And The Wailers.

# Exodus

# Well, all right

# Movement of Jah people

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Men and people will fight you down

# When you see Jah light

# Let me tell you if you're not wrong

# Then everything is all right

# So we gonna walk

# Right through the roads of creation

# We're the generation

# Trod through great tribulation

# In this exodus

# Well, all right

APPLAUSE

Number 23 sound there.

That's the fabulous Bob Marley And The Wailers

and a number called Exodus.

My favourite record has got to be this one, standing at number 14.

Beautiful sound called Oh, Lori from the Alessi Brothers.

# I'd like to stay in love

# With you

# All summer and after fall

# I'll keep you warm through the winter

# Ooooh, cos I've noticed one thing

# This ain't no summer fling

# I'd like to ride my

# Bicycle

# With you

# On a handlebar

-# You laugh and run away

-Do-wah

-# And I chase you through the meadow

-Do-wah, do-wah

# Without you I'd die

# Let's never say goodbye

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall

# Ooh, and winter by the season

# Oh, Lori

# You make me feel as though I've been born again

# Born again

-# You danced for me

-Wow

# In your bare feet

# That mellow afternoon

-# When we made love

-Do-wah

-# To each other

-Do-wah, do-wah

# And I'm loving you

# It's all I want to do

# Whoa!

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall

# Ooh, and winter by the season

# Oh, Lori

# You make me feel as though I've been born again

# Born again. #

APPLAUSE

There it is. The Alessi Brothers with Oh Lori.

-We all agree we love that one, yes, we certainly do.

-WHISTLE BLOWS

That little whistle there

belongs to Barry Biggs and the Three Ring Circus.

# The whistle blows

# As he makes his rounds

# He's seen every town

# West of Mississippi

# He's just a face

# Painted all in smiles

# Jumping up and down

# Making people happy

# Though deep inside a shadow grows

# He can laugh and no-one knows

# There's a lonely man inside

# Life is a three ring circus

# All the ups and downs of the carousel

# That I know so well

# Life is a three ring circus

# Just a little ride on a merry-go-round

# Going round and round and round and round and round

# He did the dance like the minstrels did

# Just to please the kids

# And keep the people laughing

# But no-one knows

# That beneath the clothes

# And his turned-up nose

# There lives a lonely beggar

# He needs a love that can't be found

# But in life he's just a clown

# Till they bring the curtain down

# Life is a three ring circus

# All of the ups and downs of the carousel

# That I know so well

# Life is a three ring circus

# Just a little ride on a merry-go-round

# Going round and round and round and round and round. #

APPLAUSE

Ah, lovely. Barry Biggs. That's called Three Ring Circus.

We have Legs & Co now,

who are going to dance to that number from Boney M,

all about that middle-aged delinquent Ma Baker.

# Freeze! I'm Ma Baker

# Put your hands in the air

# Gimme all your money

# This is the story of Ma Baker

# The meanest cat from old Chicago Town

# She was the meanest cat

# In old Chicago Town

# She was the meanest cat

# She really mowed them down

# She had no heart at all

# No, no, no heart at all

# She was the meanest cat

# Oh, she was really tough

# She left her husband flat

# He wasn't tough enough

# She took her boys along

# Cos they were mean and strong

-# Ma-ma-ma-ma

-# Ma Baker, she taught her four sons

-# Ma-ma-ma-ma

-# Ma Baker, to handle their guns

# Ma-ma-ma-ma

# Ma Baker, she never could cry

# Ma-ma-ma-ma

# Ma Baker, but she knew how to die

# They left a trail of crime

# Across the USA

# And when one boy was killed

# She really made them pay

# She had no heart at all

# No, no, no heart at all

# Ma-ma-ma-ma

# Ma Baker, she taught her four sons

# Ma-ma-ma-ma

# Ma Baker, to handle their guns

-# Ma-ma-ma-ma

-# Ma Baker, she never could cry

-# Ma-ma-ma-ma

-# Ma Baker, but she knew how to die

# She met a man she liked

# She thought she'd stay with him

# One day he formed with them

# They did away with him

# She didn't care at all

# Just didn't care at all. #

'Here is a special bulletin.

'Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.

'Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.

'If you have any information about this woman,

'please contact the nearest police station.'

APPLAUSE

There you go! That's a lovely sound there, Ma Baker.

Right now, here's the youngest of the Gibb brothers.

His name's Andy and this is called I Just Want To Be Your Everything.

First record. What do you know? It's a big smash hit for him as well.

# For so long

# You and me been finding each other for so long

# And the feeling that I feel for you is

# More than strong, girl

# Take it from me

# If you get a little more than you're asking for

# Your love will turn the key

# Darling mine

# I would wait for ever for those lips of wine

# Build my world around you, darling

# This love will shine, girl

# Watch it and see

# If you give a little more than you're asking for

# Your love will turn the key

# I...

# I just want to be your everything

# Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be

# The things you are to me

# And not some puppet on a string

# Here and why

# If I stay here without you, darling

# I would die

# I want you laying in the love I have to bring

# I'd do anything

# To be your everything

# Ah...

# Darling, for so long

# You and me been finding each other for so long

# And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong, girl

# Take it from me

# If you give a little more than you're asking for

# Your love will turn the key

# I...

# I just want to be your everything

# Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be

# The things you are to me

# And not some puppet on a string

# Yeah, why?

# If I stayed here without you, darling

# I would die

# I want you laying in the love I have to bring

# I'd do anything

# To be your everything

# Oh, everything. #

APPLAUSE

A little bit of a good one there, isn't it?

I Just Want To Be Your Everything by Andy Gibb.

Still at Number One, Hot Chocolate, So You Win Again.

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Just to admit one mistake

# That can be hard to take

# I know we've made them fall

# But only fools come back for more

# Being the fool I am

# I figured in all your plans, darling

# Your perfumed letters didn't say

# That you'd be leaving any day

# So you win again

# You win again

# Here I stand again

# The loser

# And just for fun

# You took my love and run

# But love had just begun

# I can't refuse her

# But now I know

# That I'm the fool

# Who won your love

# To lose it all

# When you come back

# You win again

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo

# And I'm not proud to say

# I let love slip away

# Now I'm the one who's crying

# I'm a fool, there's no denying

# When will my heartache end?

# Will my whole life depend

# On fading memories

# You took the game this time with ease

# So you win again

# You win again

# Here I stand again

# The loser

# And just for fun

# You took my love and run

# Love had just begun

# I can't refuse her

# But now I know

# That I'm the fool

# Who won your love

# To lose it all

# When you come back

# You win again

# Doo-do-do-doo

# Doo-do-do-doo. #
