APPLAUSE

That's the sound of Osibisa and a number called The Warrior.

That's a good way to start our Jubilee edition of Top Of The Pops.

I hope you had a really lovely holiday

and let's keep the holiday atmosphere going

with the Electric Light Orchestra and Telephone Line.

# Hello

# How are you?

# Have you been all right?

# Through all those lonely lonely, lonely, lonely nights?

# That's what I'd say

# I'd tell you everything

# If you'd pick up that telephone

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Hey

# How you feeling?

# Are you still the same?

# Don't you realise the things we did

# We did Were all for real, not a dream?

# I just can't believe

# They've all faded out of view

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

# Doowop Dooby dooby doo doowop

# Doowah doolang

# Blue days

# Black nights

# Doowah doolang

# I look into the sky

# The love you need Ain't gonna see you through

# And I wonder why

# The little things you planned ain't coming true

# Oh, oh, telephone line

# Give me some time

# I'm living in twilight

# Oh, oh, telephone line

# Give me some time

# I'm living in twilight... #

TELEPHONE RINGING TONE

# OK

# So no-one's answering

# But can't you just let it ring A little longer, longer, longer

# Oh, oh, oh

# I'll just sit tight

# In shadows of the night

# And let it ring for evermore

# Whoa, whoa, whoa

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Oh, oh, telephone line... #

APPLAUSE

I Don't Want To Put A Hold On You was Berni Flint's very first record

and it was a smash hit.

He's got a new one out and this, I think, is even better.

It's going to go even higher. It's called Southern Comfort.

# I was brought up in the country

# I was taught to have respect

# And at home I learned the words To every song

# And my father taught me working

# And my mother taught me love

# And just being with them Taught me right from wrong

# But no matter where I go And no matter what I do

# When all my rainbow-chasing days are through

# I'm going home To Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comfort

# Home to where my heart is free

# I'm going home to Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comfort

# Home where everyone will be

# To comfort me

# I was playing at a social

# When some fella from TV

# Had me humming and a-strumming my guitar

# So they put me on a programme

# And the votes came pouring in

# And they told me You're a winner, you're a star

# But I heard another voice

# Singing softly in my ears

# Saying, "Don't be fooled by everything you hear"

# I'm going home to Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comfort

# Home to where my heart is free

# I'm going home to Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comfort

# Home where everyone will be

# To comfort me

# Now, you learn a lot of lessons

# And you see a lot of things

# Like how hard it is For people to get by

# And as much as I love singing

# It gets lonesome on the road

# And I know just where I'm going by and by

# So if my head is in the air

# At least my feet are on the ground

# I sing my song And then I'm homeward bound

# I'm going home To Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comforts

# Home to where my heart is free

# I'm going home to Southern comfort

# Home to Southern comfort

# Home where everyone will be

# To comfort me. #

APPLAUSE

That's lovely, isn't it? That's the sound of Berni Flint.

Frankie Miller's Full House has come straight in at number 27

with Be Good To Yourself.

# Hey! Say good night

# Touch me deep inside

# Baby, I hope it's not farewell

# You can count on me

# When it's a friend you need

# All the same I hope it all goes well

# You be good to yourself

# Every day and every night... #

HE GRUNTS

# Get yourself a girl You can depend to treat you right

# Be true to one another

# Till your dying day

# May the sun shine down your way

# You know the times we had

# Have been far from bad

# And I hope it comes together Once again

# But until that time

# We'll just say goodbye

# I'll remember you till the very end

# Be good to yourself

# Every day and every night

# Got to get yourself a girl

# You can depend to treat you right

# Be true to one another

# Till your dying day

# May the sun shine down your way

# Woo hoo

# Oh, be good to yourself

# Every day and every night

# Got to get yourself a girl

# You can depend to treat you right

# Be true to one another

# Until your dying day

# May the sun shine down your way

# Be good to yourself

# Every day and every night

# Got to get yourself a girl

# You can depend to treat you right

# Love one another

# Until your dying day

# May the sun shine down your way

# Yeah, yeah. #

APPLAUSE

Stand by, because it's "ooh arr, ooh arr" time.

They put away their combine harvester.

Now I want to introduce you to Farmer Bill's Cowman.

Here are the Wurzels.

WHISTLING

It's an 'ard life when you're working on the farm!

LAUGHTER

# Down on the farm I don't need no alarm

# I rise from the bed at 5:30

# Around six o'clock

# I puts on me smock

# I'm feeling like Burlington Bertie

# In spite of the sight I keep smiling

# I loved her all right

# But she were engaged To the ploughman

# Now I'm her debonair

# Somerset millionaire

# I'm only Farmer Bill's cowman... # Come on now!

APPLAUSE

I'll be watching what he does with that pitchfork!

Have a look at this. Guess who it is. You're absolutely right.

Well, there you are.

You're probably wondering what this string is here.

I'll tell you what will happen if I'd pull this string. Two things will happen.

First of all, some balloons will fall down on Neil Innes,

who will then sing a number, Silver Jubilee.

Let's see if it will, shall we?

# Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth

# Silver Jubilee

# Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth

# God save you and me

# Everybody's mad about ya

# Where would Britain be without ya?

# Everywhere they go they shout "Your Majesty," oh

# Sailing on the Yacht Britannia

# Nowhere in the world would ban ya

# Or your Royal family

-# Queen Elizabeth

-Whoa oh

# Silver Jubilee

-# Queen Elizabeth

-Oh-oh

-Queen Elizabeth

# God save you and me

# I can see on your horse salutin'

# The common and the highfalutin'

# The woman and the man commuting every day, oh!

# Queenie, baby, I'm not fooling

# Only you can do your ruling

# In your own sweet Royal way Oh! #

CHEERING

Everybody, cheer

# Everybody's mad about ya

# Everywhere they go They shout, "Your Majesty," oh

# Sailing in the Yacht Britannia

# Nowhere in the world Would ban ya

# Or your Royal family, oh

# Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth

# Silver Jubilee

# Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth. #

APPLAUSE

Well, I hope you're all having a lovely Jubilee week.

We're having a fabulous time at Top Of The Pops. Hope you're enjoying the music.

We're going to change tempo. We're going to have a bit of that sort of...

a bit of rock for you now in the shape of The Stranglers and this one.

Boogie!

Woogie!

APPLAUSE

Well, I guess it's holiday time at the moment.

If you go to Greece and look for an island called Kyrila

you won't find it, because it's in the imagination of Demis Roussos.

But the wonders of Top Of The Pops we'll conjure up a lovely island and Demis for you right now.

# The winds of change... #

INDISTINCT

# I've seen the things I had to see

# I'm sailing home

# My skies are bright and clear

# And soon I reach The shores I love

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la

# Though times have passed

# The shore's still the same

# Then again You'll never change

# I long to see Those stones again

# And sing the song I know so well

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la la la

# The winds of change

# I'm sailing home again

# I've eased the hunger in my mind

# And if my dreams have changed I'm still the same

# I found the things I had to find

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la la

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la

# Kyrila, Kyrila

# La la la la la la. #

APPLAUSE

About four weeks ago, I went to Las Vegas.

I saw the Osmonds, who were sensational.

In the audience were the Jacksons.

They've got a record out called Show You The Way To Go

Right now, it's number-one time on Top Of The Pops,

Rod Stewart and The First Cut Is The Deepest.

# I would have given you all of my heart

We're going to play out with Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

See you on Saturday, seaside special Top Of The Pops next week. Bye-bye.
