12/08/1982 Top of the Pops

Hello and welcome to Top of the Pops. Who's sold out, then?

To start the programme,

yet another one of those ensembles with a funny foreign name.

APPLAUSE

That's Toto Coelo. It sounds like some kind of exotic skin disease!

They did tell me what it meant, but to be perfectly honest with you, I've forgotten.

Up next, a duo who have made two of the best singles of the year so far - Yazoo.

# Came in from the city

# Walked into the door

# I turned around when I heard the sound

# Of footsteps on the floor

# Love just like an addiction

# Now I'm hooked on you

# I need some time to get it right

# Your love's going to see me through

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Oh baby make your mind up

# Give me what you got

# Fix me with your loving

# Shut the door and turn the lock

# Hey, go get the doctor

# Doctor came too late

# Another night I feel alright

# My love for you can't wait

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Came in from the city

# Walked into the door

# I turned around when I heard the sound

# Of footsteps on the floor

# Said he was a killer

# Now I know it's true

# I'm dead when you walk out the door

# Hey babe I'm hooked on you

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go

# Can't stop now, don't you know

# I ain't never going to let you go

# Don't go. #

APPLAUSE

That's Yazoo.

The last time Top of the Pops did a European chart run-down,

one of the records they showed you then, an infuriating thing by Trio.

This one was number one in Holland. The Boys Town Gang.

# You're just too good to be true

# Can't take my eyes off you

# You'd be like heaven to touch

# I want to hold you so much

# At long last love has arrived

# And I thank God I'm alive

# You're just too good to be true

# I can't take my eyes off you

# Pardon the way that I stare

# There's nothing else to compare

# The thought of you leaves me weak

# There are no words left to speak

# But if you feel like I feel

# Then let me know that it's real

# You're just too good to be true

# I can't take my eyes off you

# I love you baby

# And if it's quite all right

# I need you baby

# To warm the lonely nights

# I love you baby

# Trust in me when I say

# Oh pretty baby

# Don't bring me down I pray

# Oh pretty baby

# Now that I've found you stay

# And let me love you baby

# Let me love you

# You're just too good to be true

# I can't take my eyes off you

# You'd be like heaven to touch

# I want to hold you so much

# At long last love has arrived

# And I thank God I'm alive

# You're just too good to be true

# Can't take my eyes off you

APPLAUSE

That's the Boys Town Gang

and the clip comes from the Dutch equivalent of Top of the Pops.

Top van der Poppen, as they call it in their inimitable Dutch way.

Now, at number 25, The Associates.

# I told you not to meet me here

# I can't be seen with you whispering in my ear

# I don't mind holding hands

# But not in front of company

# It's not the done thing round here baby

# Next weekend I'll be on my own

# And we can spend some time together all alone

# But if she knew what I was doing

# She'd throw the ring back in my face

# An 18 carat love affair

# Would then be stamped repair

# So we can't be seen in this place

# Love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# I don't know which side I'm on

# But my friend John said not to care

# Love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# She might write to Evelyn home

# If left alone and in despair

# Please don't leave any clues around

# The last time we...

# She found some lipstick on the ground

# I said an Avon girl had called

# Free samples on display

# She left her card

# But I threw it away

# But if she knew what I was doing

# She'd throw the ring back in my face

# An 18 carat love affair

# Would then be stamped repair

# So we can't be seen in this place

# Love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# I don't know which side I'm on

# But my friend John said not to care

# Love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# She might write to Evelyn home

# If left alone and in despair

# Love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# An 18 carat love affair

# An 18 carat love affair. #

APPLAUSE

Favourites with decent folk everywhere.

Those were The Associates at number 25.

Now a special treat for members of the Sheena barmy army.

Are you watching in Cardiff? Are you watching in Swansea?

Sheena Easton!

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Waiting for the peace of the night to be shattered

# I do believe my illusions are in tatters

# When I see the pale moonlight in the sky

# I know it's going to come like a hurricane hitting

# I breathe a sigh because it's only the beginning

# When I see reflection deep in his eyes

# I know he's got the power to hit it

# I don't believe what he said to me

# I feel just like a piece of machinery

# Got to get in closer because I can't see

# When you're telling me the truth

# I refuse to believe

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Running on the ground with my innocence fading

# I do believe there is something I'm gaining

# When I get that red hot fever inside

# I want to give it hell and behave like a goner

# I want to stay and reduce the things I want to

# When I see the pale moonlight in the sky

# I know he's got the power to hit it

# I don't believe what he said to me

# I feel just like a piece of machinery

# Got to get in closer because I can't see

# When you're telling me the truth I refuse to believe

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# I don't believe what he said to me

# I feel just like a piece of machinery

# Got to get in closer because I can't see

# When you're telling me the truth I refuse to believe

# I don't believe what he said to me

# I feel just like a piece of machinery

# Got to get in closer because I can't see

# When you're telling me the truth I refuse to believe

# I don't believe what he said to me

# I feel just like a piece of machinery. #

APPLAUSE

What an artiste. What an artiste.

That's Sheena Easton. Her best since '9 to 5'.

Making their debut on Top of the Pops, Haysi Fantayzee.

APPLAUSE

Doesn't it make you spit.

That's Haysi Fantayzee at number 22. John Wayne is Big Leggy.

I've always thought so myself.

These rather fine people over here are Wavelength.

# Lying awake

# Thinking of you

# It helps to see the lonely night time through

# You've been away

# Seems like a year

# But one day is too long without you here

# I know it has to be that you're away

# But I have called you up

# With just one thing to say

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just what lonely really means

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just how much you mean to me

# Hurry home

# The night is so still

# I turn out the light

# But there won't be a loving kiss good night

# And my imagination starts to play

# What if you decide to stay another day

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just what lonely really means

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just how much you mean to me

# Hurry home

# I know you've got things to do

# And I don't want to trouble you

# But I just can't stand the loneliness

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just what lonely really means

# Hurry home

# Hurry home

# Now I know

# Just how much you mean to me

# Hurry home

# Hurry home. #

APPLAUSE

That's Wavelength, boys and girls.

Up next on Top of the Pops as a special treat

the Hassani troupe of Moroccan tumblers.

I never drink from anything else.

A crew from Chessington Circus, lively little blighters -

why do they all look like John McEnroe, though? I think we should be told. The charts.

Beautifully read.

Now we're going to whirl you back in time and space to number 26,

the Fun Boy Three.

# Summertime summertime summertime

That's right up there with the Billy Stewart and Gene Vincent versions, in my estimation.

That's the Fun Boy Three, and I think we'll go back to the charts now, if that's all right with you.

Back to number 16, The Firm, lovable Cockneys,

Arthur Daley, 'E's All Right.

# All right my son Leave it out

# Say no more As it 'appens it's your shout

# Straight up Pull the other

# In a right 2 and 8, hang about What's the damage Chief?

# Who's your mate? The geezer with the bunny in the trilby 'at

# Reckons he's legit but he ain't all that

# Arthur Daley, little dodgy maybe but underneath 'E's all right

# Propping up the bar at the Winchester Club

# "A VAT on the slate please Dave"

# Terry's still looking for a sub

# Arthur's onto a nice little earner Terry's getting agg and the chance of an hernia

# Minding the disco down some boozer Giving him a slap but he's onto a loser

# Pound to a penny that he don't get paid

# On account of the recession in the used car motor trade

# All right my son, leave it out Say no more, As it 'appens it's your shout

# Straight up, pull the other In a right 2 and 8

# Hang about, what's the damage Chief? Who's your mate?

# The geezer with the bunny in the trilby 'at

# Reckons he's legit but he ain't all that

# Arthur Daley, little dodgy maybe but underneath 'E's all right

# Terry's piling up the Zeds Been up on a job all night

# When all of a sudden there's an horrible scream

# And somebody's switching on the light

# It's Arthur Y-fronts caught in his zip

# Brahms and Liszt an' he needs a place to kip

# Terry gets the hump with Arthur cos he

"Cheap jibe Terence Try to understand

# Hang about, what's the damage Chief? Who's your mate?

# The geezer with the bunny in the trilby 'at

# Reckons he's legit but he ain't all that

# Arthur Daley, little dodgy maybe but underneath... #

'E's alright, is Arthur.

So he's got a couple of Nelson Riddles going. Who ain't?

Don't make you a villain, do it?

And he sells the odd dodgy motor now and then.

Well, it ain't a crime, is it?

Well, yeah, it's a crime, yeah, technically.

But it's a bit under the arm

to sit on his daily giving him GBH on the ear'ole all the time.

I mean, just cos he happens to have done

a bit of bird for petty when he was a saucepan!

He ought to do them for inflammation of character, I reckon.

You know what Chisholm said?

He said "I know how Arthur Daley'll die. I said "How's that?"

He said, "He'll fall off the back of a lorry."

CHEERING

That's The Firm. All very well, but will they be at Wembley on the 21st?

Don't worry about this. Just another limb transplant that went wrong.

Let's go back to the charts now, discover the top ten.

And that's nearly the end of this week's Top Of The Pops.

Next week's programme will be introduced, as always,

by Kid Jensen. Good night!

And we'll leave you with Dexys Midnight Runners - still number one.
