Rub-a-dub with Musical Youth at number 26 and 007.

Up next we have Adam Ant and you're not going to believe

what Kid Jensen called this in rehearsal this afternoon.

Puss 'n Boots.

# Boots

# Kitty, Kitty!

# Boots

# Kitty, Kitty!

# Kitty, Kitty!

# Pussycat's going to London

# Looking for love and for fame

# I wish somebody had told her

# City folks ain't the same

# Pussycat carries a postcard

# Won't the big city be nice

# That's the place with the action

# She's gonna have her a slice

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Pussycat laughs at the warnings

# Where there's a will there's a way

# I think you'd agree if you saw her

# Rome's built in a day

# Pussycat's read all the papers

# Seen the movie and knows

# All the streets lead to somewhere

# And the pavement's gold

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Although you know it's wrong

# We must do it every day

# When the morning comes

# Don't you turn around and say

# It's bound to end in tears

# So let's do it anyway

# Pussycat wasn't a kitten

# And not as dumb as they thought

# She had a good head on her shoulders

# And beauty that couldn't be bought

# The royalty made her an offer

# If she'd keep trouble at bay

# They'd give her the money and diamonds

# Be queen for a day

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots

# Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen

# Sitting pretty, I don't wear suits

# And the mice all call me

# Puss 'n Boots. #

More feline folly later with The Cure.

It's amazing, isn't it, how some people dress up in silly costumes just cos they're on Top Of The Pops?

Quite extraordinary. Why do they do it?

Here's a Top Of The Pops debut - Marilyn.

# I hear you on the radio

# I hear you all the time

# Hear you calling to my brain

# I want peace, peace of mind

# I hear you on the radio

# I hear you all the time

# Hear you calling to my brain

# I want peace, peace of mind

# How can I tell you, baby?

# How can I tell you, baby?

# How can I tell you, baby? You're not here

# Shouting's just for skill I find

# I won't cry tonight

# Open up your loving arms

# See my heat burn white

# Catch one breath, a silent sigh

# Taste my lips of wine

# Tease my mind a little more

# Oh, I'm feeling fine

# How can I tell you, baby?

# How can I tell you, baby?

# How can I tell you, baby? You're not here

# I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name

# I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name

# I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name, you don't hear

# Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby,

# Oh baby, baby, baby

# I hear you on the radio

# Hear you all the time

# Hear you calling to my brain

# I want peace, peace of mind

# I hear you on the radio

# I hear you all the time

# Hear you calling to my brain

# I won't hold peace of mind

# How can I, how can I

# I'm calling your name

# How can I tell you?

# I'm calling your name

# How can I tell you?

# I'm calling your name

# How can I tell you, baby?

# When I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name, you don't hear

# When I'm calling your name

# When I'm calling your name... #

That's Marilyn on Top Of The Pops and this is Big Jenny.

And this is Little John.

Absolutely typical. Eurythmics.

Not just a toothpaste, also a band.

# Ooh-ooh

# To protect myself

# Ooh Give me so much love

# That I forget myself

# I need to swing from limb to limb

# To relieve this mess I'm in

# Cos when depression starts to win

# I need to be right by your side

# Yes I do

# Ooh-ooh

# No one seems to touch me

# In the way you do

# Ooh Nothing seems to hurt me

# When I'm close to you

# I'm so full of desire

# When you set my head on fire

# I need to be right by your side

# Yes I do

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Every single one of us needs

At 20 it's Limahl, and here he is with Only For Love.

# If that's your problem don't let it show

# You will find itself deceiving love can be unsure

# Keep a level head maintain your pride

# Then you can face the situation straight in the eye

# And especially when she comes on strong

# When she smiles that smile that leads you on

# Try to see it through playing out your part

# Making certain when you give your heart it's

# Only for love

# Only for love

# Only for love

# Love was never planned ever before

# Some have spent their whole life searching cold and insecure

# But as suddenly as that love will arrive

# And you'll recognise the feeling, ooh, you're on fire

# And especially as she moves in close

# When she moves that move there's no suppose

# You'll find you're hurting when you're apart

# But when you give your heart it's

# Only for love

# Only for love

# Only for love

# When you give your heart it should be

# Only for love

# When you give your heart

# Only for love

# Only for love

# When you give your heart

# Only for love

# Only for love

# Only for love

# When you give your heart

# Only for love

At 10, here in the studio, The Cure, The Love Cats.

# We move like cagey tigers

# We couldn't get closer than this

# The way we walk, the way we talk

# The way we stalk, the way we kiss

# We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps

# Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter

# We bite and scratch and scream all night

# Let's go and throw all the songs we know

# Into the sea

# You and me

# All these years and no one heard

# I'll show you in spring

# It's a treacherous thing

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We're so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully

# Wonderfully pretty

# Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you

# We should have each other to tea, huh?

# We should have each other with cream

# Then curl up by the fire

# And sleep for awhile

# It's the grooviest thing

# It's the perfect dream

# Into the sea

# You and me

# All these years and no one heard

# I'll show you in spring

# It's a treacherous thing

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# We're so wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully

# Wonderfully pretty

# You know that I'd do anything for you

# We should have each other to dinner

# We should have each other with cream

# Then curl up in the fire

# Get up for a while

# It's the grooviest thing

# It's the perfect dream

# Hand in hand is the only way to land

# And always the right way round

# Not broken in pieces, like hated little meeces

# How could we miss someone as dumb as this?

# We missed, you hissed, the lovecats

# I love you, let's go

# Oh, solid gone

# How could we miss someone as dumb as this...? #

Well, that's definitely one of my favourite chart hits of the year, The Cure and The Love Cats.

A lot of concerned young people have written in to ask Top Of The Pops,

"Whatever became of the Top 10 Video Show?"

Well, we brought it back for this week, it's exclusive to the rhythm, pals.

-Coming up pretty soon, right?

-All right, let it roll.

Madness are at nine, up 12 places, with The Sun And The Rain.

# I follow the Christmas lights down town

# I'm leaving the flow

# Of people walking all around, round and round

# I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears

# Washing away the weariness like tears

# I can feel my troubles running down

# Disappear into the silent sound... #

Karma Chameleon.

# You come and go

# You come and go

# Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams

# Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green... #

At number seven, the French Canadian combo and The Safety Dance.

# As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

# Everything'll work out right

# I say, we can dance if we want to

# We can leave your friends behind

# Cos your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

# Well, they're no friends of mine... #

Duran Duran have been knocking them dead down under,

slithering down to six, Union Of The Snake.

# Moving up it's gonna race, it's gonna break

# Through the borderline... #

Puss 'n Boots.

# I've been to London, and now I'm queen... #

Shakin' Stevens with the biggest jump of the week,

15 places to number four, Cry Just A Little Bit.

# I pray nobody wants your loving to keep

# When you stray just a little bit

# Don't let temptation fill your heart with dreams

# Don't let your mind run away

# Forbidden love is never what it seems

# And you cry just a little bit

# Cry just a little bit

# Cry just a little bit

# You're the light that brightens all of my days

# The sun shines above you

# And I would die if someone took you away

# Cos I love you, love you... #

Here's a couple of strangers who were heading down the chart,

now they're zooming back up, with Say Say Say.

# You're saying that my love ain't real

# Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying

# You, you, you can never say that I'm not the one who really loves you

# I pray, pray, pray every day that you'll see things, girl, like I do

# What can I do, girl, to get through to you

# Cos I love you, baby

# Standing here baptised in all my tears

# Baby through the years you know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... #

Jammin' at number two for the third week,

All Night Long (All Night).

# All night long

# All night long

# Once you get started you can't sit down

# Come join the fun, it's a merry-go-round

# Everyone's dancing their troubles away

# Come join our party, see how we play

# Tom bo li de say de moi ya, yeah, jambo jumbo

# Way to parti' o we goin' oh, jambali

# Tom bo li de say de moi ya, yeah, jumbo jumbo... #

That's the Top 10 Video Show.

Now to Number One, for the second week it's Billy Joel with Uptown Girl.

# Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh

# Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh

# Uptown girl

# She's been living in her uptown world

# I bet she never had a backstreet guy

# I bet her mama never told her why

# I'm gonna try for an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

# And when she knows what

# She wants from her time

# And when she wakes up

# And makes up her mind

# She'll see I'm not so tough

# Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl

# You know I've seen her in her uptown world

# She's getting tired of her high class toys

# And all her presents from her uptown boys

# She's got a choice

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh

# Uptown girl

# You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

# But maybe someday when my ship comes in

# She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

# And then I'll win

# And when she's walking

# She's looking so fine

# And when she's talking

# She'll say that she's mine

# She'll say I'm not so tough

# Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

# Uptown girl

# She's my uptown girl

# You know I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# My uptown girl

# You know I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# My uptown girl. #

Hey, little pal, it's off to night-time Radio 1.

This is true. We're going to play out with Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart.

BOTH: Goodnight.

# When routine bites hard

# And ambitions are low

# And resentment rides high

# But emotions won't grow

# And we're changing our ways

# Taking different roads

# Then love, love will tear us apart again

# Love, love will tear us apart again

# Why is the bedroom so cold?

# You've turned away on your side

# Is my timing that flawed?

# Our respect runs so dry

# Yet there's still this appeal

# That we've kept through our lives

# But love, love will tear us apart again

# Love, love will tear us apart again.... #
