MUSIC: "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Khan

# I'm every woman

# It's all in me

# Anything you want done, baby I'll do it naturally

# I'm every woman

# It's all in me

# I can read your thoughts right now

# Every one from A to Z

# Of secrets you can tell

# Mix a special brew Put fire inside of you... #

APPLAUSE

Getting the show off to a great start there.

A bunch of smooth operators, Rocky Sharpe and the Replays

and Rama Lama Ding Dong.

And now, in reflective mood, Sally Oldfield and Mirrors.

# Oh, we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine

# We are singing and dancing in perfect time

# There is nothing in the world that we can do

# To stop the light of love come shining through

# The power of a newborn moment is shining round you

# Kiele aloha

# Hey, a perfect stranger A feeling of you

# Kiele aloha

# Hey, come be with me

# For we are, we are, we are

# Perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine

# We are singing and dancing in perfect time

# There is nothing in the world that we can do

# To stop the light of love come shining through

# The fire of a golden light is shining round you

# Kiele aloha

# Hey, the wind is cold And I long to hold you

# Kiele aloha

# Hey, come be with me

# For we are, we are, we are

# We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine

# We are singing and dancing in perfect time

# There is nothing in the world that we can do

# To stop the light of love come shining through

# The streets are filled with bells

# And the sky was falling

# Kiele aloha

# There's so many things I long to tell you

# Can you hear me calling?

# Kiele aloha

# Hey, come be with me

# For we are, we are, we are

# We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine

# We are singing and dancing in perfect time

# There is nothing in the world. #

-Hello.

-Hello.

If I said "the telephone answering machine song",

what record would I be talking about in the charts?

Hello, This Is Joannie.

Hello, This Is Joannie, indeed, from Paul Evans

and poor old Joannie has given Paul the pip.

Listen. Better still, watch.

# Hello, this is Joannie

# I'm sorry but I'm not home

# But if you leave me your name and number

# I promise soon as I get in I'll phone

# Joannie came over to my house last night

# I drank a little too much red and we got into a fight

# She said I'm leavin' and I let her go alone

# I felt so damn bad this morning I reached right for the phone

# And called her right away

# To beg her to forgive

# The phone rang once The phone rang twice

# And then I heard her say-ay

# Hello, this is Joannie

# I'm sorry but I'm not home

# But if you leave me your name and number

# I promise, soon as I get in I'll phone

# Joannie, I'm sorry

# And I'm feelin' oh so small

# That was the message that I left and I waited for her call

# I waited with a sinkin' feeling in my heart

# Not knowin' if she'd forgive me was tearin' me apart

# I couldn't go on this way

# I had to call again

# The phone rang once The phone rang twice

# And then I heard her say-ay

# Hello, this is Joannie

# I'm sorry but I'm not home

# But if you leave me your name and number

# I promise, soon as I get in I'll phone

# My phone rang and my heart sang

# My baby's called at last

# Instead it was a friend who said that Joannie's car had crashed

# I never should've let her drive home angry from my place

# I'd never hold her again and kiss that funny face

# But still there was a way

# To hear her voice again

# The phone rang once The phone rang twice

# And then I heard her say-ay

# Hello, this is Joannie... #

A bit of a sad record, that, really - poor old Joannie.

But one lady who is alive and well,

if not a little damp, is Bonnie Tyler in the Louisiana rain.

Well, not actually - she's in our studio -

but we can use our imagination.

# Well, it was out in California

# By the San Diego sea

# That was when I was taken in

# And it left it's mark on me

# Yeah, it nearly drove me crazy

# Cos I felt I had no choice

# It seemed I was only marking time

# With all those sailor boys

# Louisiana rain

# Falling at my feet

# I'm noticing a change

# As I move down the street

# Louisiana rain

# Soaking through my shoes

# I may never be the same

# When I reach Baton Rouge

# South Carolina

# Stuck out its arms for me

# Right up until everything went black

# Somewhere on a lonely street

# And I still can't quite remember

# Who helped me to my feet

# But thank God for a long-neck bottle

# The angel's remedy

# Louisiana rain

# It's falling just like tears

# Running down my face

# Washing out the years

# Louisiana rain

# Soaking through my shoes

# I may never be the same

# When I reach Baton Rouge

# Well, I never will get over

# This English refugee

# Singing to the juke box

# In some all-night beanery

# He was eating hard rock candy

# Chasing it with tea

# You sure shoulda seem him lick his lips

# When he looked up at me

# Louisiana rain

# Is falling just like tears

# It's running down my face... #

APPLAUSE

Here's a bit more popular precipitation.

This time, Raining In My Heart.

From Leo Sayer, up to number 21 this week in the chart.

# The sun is out, the sky is blue

# There's not a cloud to spoil the view

# But it's raining

# Raining in my heart

# The weatherman says fine today

# He doesn't know that you've gone away

# And it's raining

# Raining in my heart

# Aw, aw misery

# Aw, misery

# Oh, tell me, what's gonna become

# Of me?

# I tell my blues they mustn't show

# But I know that soon all my tears will flow

# Come a raining down Oh, raining in my heart

# Oh, aw, misery Oh, you misery

# Oh, tell me, what's gonna become

# Of me?

# The sun is out

# The sky is so blue

# There's not a cloud up to spoil my view

# But it's raining Oh, it's raining in my heart

# Can't you see? It's raining in my heart

# It's raining in my heart

# It's raining in my heart, yeah

# It's raining in my heart. #

APPLAUSE

Leo Sayer, Raining In My Heart.

There's a lot of instrumentals round these days,

and a few of them are doing pretty well. Here's the first of a couple on tonight's show.

From Mankind, this is their version of the theme from Doctor Who.

Next up is a former Record of the Week of mine.

It's Driver 67 with his first record,

making his first appearance on Top Of The Pops tonight with Car 67.

# Car 67, car 67, where are you? Come in 67, 67, can you hear me?

# We want you to pick up a young lady at 83 Royal Gardens

# Control, have mercy on me I don't wanna do the pick-up

# Isn't anybody else free?

# Stuck in a jam in a one-way street

# You must be joking, 67

# Now, come on I must have a time for the pick-up

# The best that I can do Is tell you tomorrow, yeah

# Oh, really 67, you're putting me in a bad position

# This is too bad, too bad I must have a time for the pick-up

# What's your problem?

# What's wrong, 67?

# To tell you the truth

# I had a bad, bad night

# My girl left home

# In the middle of a fight

# Sorry about that, 67 Sorry to hear that

# Controller, have mercy on me

# I don't wanna do the pick-up at number 83

# And the girl of my dreams left me all alone

# And at number 83 is where she made her home

APPLAUSE

With an invitation like that, who could resist? That is The Doll.

And now something a little bit different from Hot Chocolate.

It's from the musical concept Dear Anyone...

and it is called I'll Put You Together Again.

# When you can't take any more

# When you feel your life is over

# Put down your tablets and pick up your pen

# And I'll put you together again

# If your faith withers away

# If God can't bring you your answer

# Write me a letter

# I'll read it and then

# I'll put you together again

# Put us together

# Together again

# Put us together again

# When things look hopeless

# Just write me and then

# I'll put you together again

# If there's no light anywhere

# And you've got no-one to turn to

# I'll lead you out of the darkness and then

# I'll put you together again. #

See if you can recognise a few familiar fingers, hands - even faces -

with Don't Cry For Me, Argentina.

APPLAUSE

Well, the unique, unmistakable sound of The Shadows,

and it's nice to hear it again with Don't Cry For Me, Argentina.

Time to get moving once again with Legs & Co, and the crew

And now, straight from the heart into your homes, Steve Allan

and a new 45 called Together We Are Beautiful.

# The lady walked into my life

# She's been with better-looking guys

# But now we're beautiful

# I am the song that's out of tune

and here they come - still there for the second week, of course -

The Village People and YM... Give me a C, give me an A, and get down!

That's it for this week's Top Of The Pops.

I hope you've enjoyed it enough to join us again next week for more of the same.

We leave you with Billy Joel and My Life. Cheers!

# Got a call from an old friend

# We used to be real close

# Said he couldn't go on the American way

# Closed the shop, sold the house Bought a ticket to the West Coast

# Now he gives them a stand-up routine in LA

# I don't need you to worry for me cos I'm all right

# I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

# I don't care what you say any more This is my life

# Go ahead with your own life Leave me alone

# I never said you had to offer me a second chance

# I never said I was a victim of circumstance

# I still belong

# Don't get me wrong

# And you can speak your mind

# But not on my time

# They will tell you you can't sleep alone

# In a strange place

# Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else. #
