Hello, everybody.

Welcome to another party. It's Top Of The Pops.

We've got Gillan, we've got Dire Straits,

we've got Shalamar and we've got Shakin' Stevens.

But for starters, we've got one Evelyn King and Love Come Down.

APPLAUSE

# Love come down

# No sleep last night

# Been dreaming of you

# Please hold me tight

# Cos I can't help the way that I feel

# I just can't help the way that I feel

# Thief in the night

# You took my heart

# Now danger's in sight

# Cos I can't help the way that I feel

# I just can't help the way that I feel

# Do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do

# Baby, you make my love come down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Make it come all the way down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Baby, you make my love come down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Can't do without

# Your tender love

# There's no way out

# And I can't help the way that I feel

# I just can't help the way that I feel

# Do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do

# Ooh

# Baby, you make my love come down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Make it come all the way down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Inside out when you're around

# Oh, you make my love come down

# You make my love come down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Make it come all the way down

# Oh, you make my love come down

# Inside out when you're around

# Oh, you make my love come down

# I can't help the way I feel about you, baby

# I can't help the way I feel

# All the way down

# You make my, you make my

# Love come down

# Ooh

# You're around

# When you're around, baby

# Yeah. #

APPLAUSE

She's dynamite. Evelyn King, Love Come Down,

one of the hottest club tracks in the UK at the moment.

A really moody number from Dire Straits - Mark Knopfler composition.

It's Private Investigations.

# It's a mystery to me

# The game commences

# For the usual fee

# Plus expenses

# Confidential information

# It's in a diary

# This is my investigation

# It's not a public inquiry

# I go checking out the reports

# Digging up the dirt

# You get to meet all sorts

# In this line of work

# Treachery and treason

# There's always an excuse for it

# And when I find a reason

# I still can't get used to it

# And what have you got

# At the end of the day?

# What have you got

# To take away?

# A bottle of whisky

# And a new set of lies

# Blinds on the window

# And a pain behind the eyes

# Scarred for life

# No compensation

# Private

# Investigations. #

APPLAUSE

That's an amazing single, Private Investigations.

Number 4, and Dire Straits.

OK, a love story of Bark Kent who falls in love with Lois Dane.

The song is going to be barked by Wonder Dog

and it's a real Ruff Mix.

APPLAUSE

SONG BARKED THROUGHOUT

APPLAUSE

A right "ruff" mix from Wonder Dog.

OK, action on Top Of The Pops with Natasha.

The follow-up to Iko Iko, this is called The Boom Boom Room!

# The door slides open, we look up hoping

# Sam slips inside the sweeter gloom

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# The neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# He doesn't move far stands by the bar,

# Makes a whisky and wisecracks with some of the rednecks

# A couple drifts in, sets up a jam, we catch an exchange

# No question, no names

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# The neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# When he blows his horn he thinks of his wife

# He's not just a man, he's a whole way of life

# The kids think he's cool, they defend him at school

# They know all the tunes, they'll be jamming them soon

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# She keeps waiting, rage radiating

# Red painted nails pitter-pat on the bar

# He's late, he's late but he knows she'll wait

# She better start walking if she can't stop talking

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room

# In the neon shadows of the boom boom room... #

APPLAUSE

It's the old Stevie Wonder hit being done by Gillan.

It's called Living For The City.

# A boy is born in hardtime Mississippi

# Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

# His parents give him love and affection

# To keep him strong Moving in the right direction

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Argh

# His father works some days for 14 hours

# And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

# His mother goes to scrub the floors for many

# You'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Whoa-ho

# His sister's black but she is good and pretty

# Her skirt is short but, Lord, her legs are sturdy

# To walk to school she's got to get up early

# Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Ah!

# Her brother's smart He's got more sense than many

# His patience long but soon he won't have any

# To find a job is like a haystack needle

# Cos where he lives they don't use coloured people

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# His hair is long His feet are hard and gritty

# He spends his life walking the streets of New York City

# He's almost dead from breathing air pollution

# He tried to vote but to him there's no solution

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city, yeah!

# I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow

# That motivates you to make a better tomorrow

# This place is cruel Nowhere could be much colder

# If we don't change the world will soon be over

# Living just enough

# Stop giving just enough for the city

# Yeah, ow!

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city

# Living just enough

# Just enough for the city. #

APPLAUSE

Gillan and Living For The City.

OK, just two of Zoo, Wesley and Julie,

dance to Shalamar's hit There It Is.

Here it is, and Zoo!

# There it is, there it is

# What took us so long to find each other, baby?

# There it is, there it is

# This time I'm not wrong

# But I knew the answer to why people fall in love

# But then I found I knew nothing about it

# Till I met you, girl, I thought that I had had enough

# Now I'm sure I've always been without it

# And it feels so good that you and I can go together

# Ooh, baby, we both found what we've been looking for

# And this time I know we're gonna make it better

# Our heart is a key to pump it at the door

# Don't have to search no more

# There it is, there it is

# What took us so long, ooh, to find each other, baby?

# There it is, there it is

# This time I'm not wrong

# In the sea of love we set our sails when waters were up

# Two in search of love with no direction

# Fish were biting at the time when catching wasn't enough

# We couldn't make a sport of our affection

# And who could dream that we would sail into each other?

# Ooh, girl, I never felt the wave of love so strong

# And this love I never felt in any other

# I trust it like the light, how this guides the ship to land

# I found it when you touched my hand

# Ooh, there it is

# What took us so long?

# For a love so strong There it is

-# Ooh, there it is

-This time I'm not wrong

# I'm not wrong

# And it's about time

# For love to find its way back home... #
