Hello, everybody, welcome to the biggest pop party in Britain.

Four singles released and four hits from Heaven 17

off the LP Luxury Gap. Great album it is, too. Here's an exotic video.

It's from Rod Stewart - What Am I Going To Do?

# Can I tell you what you mean to me?

# You're essential as the air I breathe

# Almost impossible to believe that you're mine

# You're like weekends all year long

# Under a hot Jamaican sun

# You are a winner at a hundred to one

# Yes, you are

# Something you've got is something I need right now

# You don't have to prove it no more I'm down on my bended knees, honey

# What am I gonna do?

# I'm so in love with you

# What am I gonna say

# If ever you go away?

# One in a million, oh, so rare

# A nightingale in Berkeley Square

# And, baby, I ain't goin' nowhere

# Without you

# You are the goal that wins the game

# The very last bus home in the rain

# You're like rock and roll and champagne all in one

# Something you've got is something I need right now

# Let's not mess around any more

# I'm down on my bended knees, honey

# What am I gonna do?

# I'm so in love with you

# What am I gonna say

# If ever you go away?

# What am I gonna do?

# I'm so in love with you

# What am I gonna say

# If ever you go away

# Obviously one of a kind

# And so difficult to define

# I could drink a case of you any time

# The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower

# A national anthem, an April shower

# Tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you

# I'm complete

# Something you've got is something I need right now

# You don't have to prove it no more

# I'm down on my bended knees, honey

# What am I gonna do... #

APPLAUSE

These two just got engaged from Dundee. That's cool.

This is Status Quo.

# When you look into a mirror, tell me, what do you see?

# Is it Pictures of Lily crying, you know what I mean?

# I've been livin' high

# I've been livin' low

# Like a bird in the sky This is the way to go

# What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?

# What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?

# What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# Did you think it was forever?

# Well, now you know

# The summer sun keeps shining Shine through the blue

# I've been livin' high

# I've been livin' low

# Never give up tryin'

# Oh, no, no, no

# What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?

# What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?

# What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# I can hear you callin' somewhere in the blue

JoBoxers. Their debut LP is out in about ten days' time.

It's called Like Gangbusters.

OK, here's something very soft and very different.

It's Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack and Tonight I Celebrate My Love.

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# It seems the natural thing to do

# Tonight no-one's gonna find us

# We'll leave the world behind us

# When I make love to you

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# And hope that deep inside you'll feel it, too

# Tonight our spirits will be climbing

# To a sky filled up with diamonds

# When I make love to you, tonight

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through

# Tonight there'll be no distance between us

# What I want most to do is to get close to you

# Tonight

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# And soon this old world will seem brand-new

# Tonight we will both discover how friends turn into lovers

# When I make love to you

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through

# Tonight there'll be no distance between us

# What I want most to do is to get close to you

# Tonight I celebrate my love for you

# Tonight. #

# Though I live on the edge Time is on my side

# All the doors to my life are open wide

# Just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round

# I will live for the groove till the sun goes down

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# Is it a crazy notion?

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# I got forward motion

# I don't wanna go to war

# I don't wanna go to war

# I said, I know what I want and I don't wanna go war

# Do you follow me?

# I saw a soldier standing in a bar

# Looked so tired, he'd come so far

# He said I need to love someone before they drop the atom bomb

# There's a girl at the back making eyes at me

# And her hair, long and black, is a sight to see

# But I get kind of scared when love's around

# I just live for the groove till the sun goes down

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# Is it a false emotion?

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up I got forward motion

# So I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking

# I'm married to the beat

# But to the music I gave the heart

# I could have given you

# Still there's something 'bout the way that you move

# And the way that people stare It's the shock of the new

# I want my friends to see me standing next to you

# The sun goes down

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# I got forward motion

# Ooh, watch her dance

# There must be one like her in every club in every town

# But I don't mind, that's the way she wants to be

# There's something 'bout her that reminds me of me

# She's my soul mate, we'll be together 'til the sun goes down

# The sun goes down

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# Is it a false emotion?

# Living it up, living it up

# I can feel it

# Living it up

# I got forward motion

# Living it up, living it up. #
