TOP OF THE POPS INTRO TUNE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, welcome to a live Top Of The Pops. I'm Auntie Janice.

And I'm Uncle John, and we're going to play some songs

from The Hit Parade, aren't we, Janice?

They're smashing, like the Style Council

and Walls Come Tumbling Down.

APPLAUSE

# You don't have to take this crap

# You don't have to sit back and relax

# You can actually try changing it...

# I know we've always been taught to rely

# Upon those in authority

# But you never know until you try

# How things just might be

# If we came together so strongly...

# Are you gonna try to make this work?

# Or spend your days down in the dirt?

# Cos things can change, yes!

# And walls can come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

# Cos unity is powerful

# Lights go out

# Walls come tumbling down!

-# Yes, we do!

-# Yes, we do!

-# Yes, we do...

-# Yes, we do...

# The competition is a colour TV

# We're on still pause with our video machine

# That keep you slaves to the HP...

# Until the unity is threatened by

# Those who have or who have not

# Those who are with and those who are without

# And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot

# Until you don't know where you are...

# Are you gonna get to realise

# The class war's real and not mythologized?

# Cos like Jericho

# Yes, walls can come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

# Cos unity is powerful

# Lights go out!

# Walls come tumbling...

# Down...

# You'll be too weak to fight it

# Down...

# Oh, less united

# Down...

# Oh, will you deny it?

# Ooh...

# Are you gonna be threatened by

# The public enemy, Number Ten?

# Those who play the power game

# They take the profits, you take the blame

# When they tell you there's no rise in pay...

# Are you gonna try to make this work?

# Or spend your days down in the dirt?

# You see things can change

# Walls can come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

# Cos unity is powerful

# Lights go out!

# Walls come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

# Yes, they do!

# Cos unity is powerful

# Lights go out!

# Walls come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

# Cos unity is powerful

# Lights go out!

# Walls come tumbling down!

# Governments crack and systems fall

-# Cos unity is powerful... #

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Style Council, and the album is out at the end of the month.

Freddie Mercury, he likes dancing, he likes flinging women around,

and he is at number 11 in the charts with I Was Born To Love You.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Freddie Mercury on Top Of The Pops

with his musical tribute to totalitarianism.

Now, from America, one of the great voices. Steve Arrington.

# Feel so real

# I feel so real

# I feel so real

# And I owe it all to you

# Oh, I feel so nice

# With you here by my side

# If I just do the best that I can do

# It seems that's enough for you

# The little things mean so much

# A smile or a joyful touch

# That push that keeps me going strong

# To know that I belong

# And I feel so real

# I feel so real

# Oh, I feel so real

# And I owe it all to you

# Yeah

# Love is such a wonderful thing

# The angels sing when freedom reigns

# Freedom from the chains

# That hold us back from harmony

# I'm right here on my knees

# To thank you for the air that I breath

# I thank you for the life that you have saved

# That's why I've got to say

# Feel so real

# I feel so real

-Feel so real

-# The truth is all for you

-Feel so real... #

APPLAUSE

Oh, I love a bop. He's literally flown in today.

Godley & Creme are prolific when it comes to making videos.

They bung in the odd single as well now and again.

At 19, it's Cry.

# You don't know how to ease my pain

# You don't know

# You don't know how to ease my pain

# You don't know what the sound is, darlin'

# It's the sound of my tears fallin'

# Or is it the rain?

# You don't know

# You don't know how to play the game

# You cheat

# You lie

# You make me want to cry

# You make me want to cry

# Cry

# You make me want to cry

# You don't know how to ease my pain

# You don't know

# You don't know how to ease my pain

# Don't you hear any voices cryin'?

# That's the sound of our love dyin'

# Here comes the rain

# You don't know how to play the game

# You cheat

# You lie

# You don't even know how to say goodbye

# You make me want to cry

# You don't know

# You don't even know how to say goodbye

# You make me want to cry

# You don't even know how to say goodbye

# You make me want to cry. #

APPLAUSE

That's Godley & Creme

# I wake up in the morning

# All by myself

APPLAUSE

Great pair of trousers.

I'm really into men's trousers.

The less said about that, the better, if you ask me.

It's about time we had a look at the Top 40, I think.

At 40, it's Dream Academy and Life In A Northern Town.

And at 39, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Welcome To The Pleasuredome.

Five Star at number 38 with All Fall Down.

New entry at number 36. Go West. Call Me, Janice.

And at 12, Janice's favourite,

The Rah Band - Clouds Across The Moon.

And at 11, it's Freddie Mercury and I Was Born To Love You.

Peely's looking really good tonight but not as good as the man

that he's about to introduce.

I'm not entirely convinced by that, I must say.

-I think I'm looking at my very loveliest.

-Mm.

Let's have a look at those Top 40 breakers.

This is Bryan Ferry at number 30. Slave To Love.

This one'll have Janice weeping in a corner of the room.

# The storm is breaking

# Or so it seems

# We're too young to reason

# Too grown up to dream

# Now spring is turning

# Your face to mine

# I can hear your laughter

# I can see your smile

-# Slave to love

-Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

# Slave to love

# No, I can't escape I'm a slave to love

# I'm a slave to love. #

Oh, weep, weep, weep. And from Slave To Love,

it's Rage To Love with Kim Wilde at number 29.

# Come on, let's go tonight

# We got a brand-new way to celebrate it

# Oh

# I got this rage to love

# Baby, it's so right

# And if you feel it

# Great

# Dedicate it, oh

# I got this rage to

# Oh

# It's just this rage to

# Oh

# I got this rage to love. #

For number 25, it's the wonderful Divine - Walk Like A Man,

which I think's going to be rather difficult

without dramatic remedial surgery.

# Oh, how she tried

# To cut him down to size

# Tellin' dirty lies to his friends

# But his own father

# Said, "Give her up, don't bother"

# The world isn't coming to an end

# He said

# Walk like a man, talk like a man

# Walk like a man, my son

# No woman's worth

# Falling on the earth

# So walk like a man, my son. #

Here's a man you won't see in a frock. It's Jimmy Nail at 20.

# ..don't live here any more

# Just emptiness and memories of what we had before

# Why'd you have to go away?

# Find another place to stay?

# You abandoned me

# Love don't live here any more

# Just a vacancy

# Love don't live here any more

# Yeah... #

Geordies, don't you just love 'em? That's Jimmy Nail.

Wye aye, man. Let's have a look at the Top 10...

..in video.

This is Phil Collins at number 10. One More Night.

# Cos I can't wait forever. #

# Feel the beat of the rhythm... #

And at number 9, it's Debarge with Rhythm Of The Night.

# Forget about the worries on your mind

# You can leave them all behind

# Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night

# Oh, the rhythm of the night. #

At 8, Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds.

# ..forget about me

# Don't, don't, don't, don't

# Don't you forget about me. #

Steve Arrington at 7 - Feel So Real.

# And I owe it all to you. #

U2 at number 6 - The Unforgettable Fire.

# Walk on by

# Walk on through

# Walk till you run

# And don't look back

# For here I am

# Carnivals

# The wheels fly and the colours spin

# Through alcohol. #

# We are the world... #

And at 5, USA For Africa - We Are The World.

# We are the ones to make a brighter day

# So let's start giving. #

At number 4, it's Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

Merseyside does.

# Everybody wants to rule the world. #

APPLAUSE

OK, number 3 and I'm going to get Peely dancing to this

CHEERING

That's Marc Almond and Bronski Beat at number 3.

What's number 2, Janice?

John, Move Closer.

Just on the outside, dear, if you don't mind.

-Paul Hardcastle. This is the new number 1. 19.

-Yeah.

In 1965, Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war

But it wasn't, it was different in many ways

As so were those who did the fighting

In World War II, the average age of the combat soldier was 26

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

In-in-in Vietnam, he was nineteen

In-in-in Vietnam, he was nineteen

In Vietnam, he was nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

The heaviest fighting of the past two weeks continued today

25 miles northwest of Saigon

I really wasn't sure what was going on

N-n-n-n-nineteen, nineteen N-nineteen

In Vietnam, the combat soldier typically served a 12-month tour of duty

But was exposed to hostile fire almost every day

N-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-nineteen

In Saigon, a US military spokesman said today more than 720 troops

Were killed last week in that sensitive border area

In all of South Vietnam

The enemy lost a total of 2,689 soldiers

# All those who remember the war

# They won't forget what they've seen

# Destruction of men in their prime

# Whose average age was nineteen

# D-d-d-d-d-destruction

# D-d-d-d-d-destruction... #

According to a Veteran's Administration study

Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered

From what psychiatrists call post-traumatic stress disorder

Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt

Some succumb to suicidal thoughts eight to ten years after coming home

Almost 800,000 men are still fighting the Vietnam War

None of them received a hero's welcome

# Nineteen

Saigon, Saigon S-S-S-S-S-Saigon S-S-S-S-S-Saigon

# Nineteen

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen

-# Nineteen... #

Purple Heart, Saigon

Purple Heart, Saigon

I wasn't really sure what was going on

I wasn't really sure what was going on.

APPLAUSE

About 15 years too late, Paul. That's Paul Hardcastle at number 1.

Next week's hit parade with Peter James Barnard-Powell and Gary Davis.

Meanwhile, we'll leave you with The Untouchables and Free Yourself.

-That sounds absolutely smashing, Janice!

-Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

# I like to feel like I feel

# I like to do what I wanna do

# I like to go where I go

-# Cos I feel it in my soul

-Yeah

-# Now, there's a friend of mine

-Friend of mine

-# He's doing down all the time

-Down all the time

-# It makes me mad just to see him

-Mad to see him

# But I wish you would free him like you did me

-# Free yourself

-Yes, you can now

-# Free yourself

-Like I did

-# Free yourself

-Be a man, boy

# Free yourself

-# Now take a look at me

-Look at me

-# You see I'm feeling irie

-Feeling irie

-# Let's rock around the cell

-Round the cell

# And pulled it off the shell girl

-# And I'm not going back

-Going back

-# And debate, that's a fact

-That's a fact... #
