13/01/1983 Top of the Pops

Hello. We're on a £5 a man bonus for wearing these hats.

Welcome to another Top Of The Pops.

We're the Burke and Hare of British broadcasting.

I'm John, he's the likable Canadian.

And this week we're going to kick off, amigos,

with Incantation and Cacharpaya.

TRADITIONAL PANPIPE MUSIC

RECORDER SOLO

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ethnic, boys. Ethnic.

That's a Bolivian fisherman's wedding song by Incantation,

or Incantathione, as the gauchos call them back home on the pampas.

Now we go with Men at Work from Australia.

MUSIC: "Down Under" by Men at Work

# Travelling in a fried-out Kombi

# On a hippie trail Head full of zombie

# I met a strange lady

# She made me nervous

# She took me in and gave me breakfast

# And she said

# Do you come from a land down under

# Where women glow and men plunder?

# Can't you hear Can't you hear the thunder?

# You better run You better take cover... #

FLUTE SOLO

# Buying bread from a man in Brussels

# He was six-foot-four and full of muscle

# I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"

# He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich

# And he said

# I come from a land down under

# Where beer does flow and men chunder

# Can't you hear Can't you hear the thunder?

# You better run You better take cover

# Yeah-ah

# Lying in a den in Bombay

# With a slack jaw and not much to say

# I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me

# "Because I come from the land of plenty?"

# And he said

# Do you come from a land down under

# Oh, yeah, yeah

# Where women glow and men plunder?

# Can't you hear Can't you hear the thunder?

# You better run You better take cover

# Living in the land down under

# Where women glow and men plunder

# Can't you hear the thunder?

# You better, better run You better take cover

# Living in the land down under

# Where women glow and men plunder

# Can't you hear Can't you hear the thunder?

# Ooh, yeah

# You better run You better take cover

# Living in the land down under... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

If she scratched your back I don't think you'd live to tell the tale.

I think I'll let you introduce this next act because I know they're important to you.

You play them a lot on your show.

This has meant a lot to me, I must admit.

This is a very important moment in my life, really. Keith Harris and Orville.

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: Orville's Song by Keith Harris and Orville

# I wish I could fly way up to the sky but I can't

-# You can

-I can't

# I wish I could see what folks see in me but I can't

-# You can

-I can't

-# Look, Orville

-Yes?

# Now that I'm here with you

# There's nothing that you can't do

# So why don't you make a start?

# I will

# Hear what I'm saying

-# Orville

-Yes

# Who is your very best friend?

# You are

# I'm going to help you mend

# Your broken heart... #

Thank you.

# I wish that I had A mummy and dad but I don't

-# You don't?

-I don't

# I often pretend my sadness will end but it won't

-# It will

-It won't

-# Look, Orville

-Yes?

# Nothing that you can say

# Will change how I feel today

# You know that we'll never part

# We won't?

# Hear what I'm saying

-# Orville

-Yes?

-# Who is your very best friend?

-You are

# I'm going to help you mend your broken heart

# Oh! So does this mean, although I'm green

# And not exactly bright

# You want to care and will be there to tuck me in at night?

# But I'll always be there, Orville

# The other birds laugh and say that I'm daft and I am

-# You're not

-I am

# They tease me a lot and call me a clot and I am

-# You're not

-I am

-# Look, Orville

-Yes?

# Nothing that you can say

# Will change how I feel today

# You know that we'll never part

# We won't?

# Hear what I'm saying

-# Orville

-Yes?

-# Who is your very best friend?

-You are

# I'm going to help you mend your broken heart... #

Thank you.

Because I've...I've got a broken heart, haven't I?

I know but you know I'm going to help you mend it.

-You will, won't you?

-Of course I will.

-Because you love me, don't you?

-Well, we all love you.

-We all love him, don't we?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Thank you.

-There you are.

-How much do you love me?

-How much?

-Yes.

-Ooh!

This much.

-As much as that?

-As much as that.

# My broken heart. #

APPLAUSE

That's one of the best things since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.

Keith Harris and Orville.

Orville was the one in the woolly hat, incidentally.

Up next on Top Of The Pops, we've got The Belle Stars

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: Sign Of The Times by The Belle Stars

As I lie here thinking of you

I realised that nothing is new.

# Lying in my bed thinking of you

# I realise nothing is new

# You say you love me but want success

# I say you're lying, nothing has changed

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# We're strong in bed

# You're weak in love

# You give me nothing

# More than a shove

# I walk alone now thinking of you

# I realise now nothing is new

# This is a sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone... #

Why do we go on with this useless love affair?

When it seems to me that you don't really care.

I realise now, nothing is new.

Time to live my life without you.

# I sit alone now wondering about you

# I'm living my life, what do you do?

# You say you want me

# But need success

# I want your love, boy

# Want nothing less

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come... #

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# I've found a place to live

# I got it the hard way

# A permanent address to give

# I got it for always

# Nobody can tear me loose

# They tell me there's no escape

# On Heartache Avenue

# Ooo-ooo-ooo

# Ooo-ooo-ooo

# I live alone rent free

# There's nothing to pay here

# One thing you need to be

# If you want to stay here

# So lonely you can't pretend

# That you're a true resident

# Of Heartache Avenue

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Leave me alone

# Because I'm here where I belong

# Where I belong

# I feel at home on the street here love is gone

# It's a hard luck story of Heartache Avenue

# There's always room to let

# Because nobody goes there

# One thing you need to get

# A ticket to nowhere

# No money, no credit card

# The price is one broken heart

# On Heartache Avenue

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Oooh-oooh-oooh

# Leave me alone

# Because I'm here where I belong

# Where I belong

# I feel at home on the street where love is gone

a bit disappointed Renee and Renato are no longer at number one.

I'm sure they're disappointed as well because Phil Collins

has reached the top spot with You Can't Hurry Love.

APPLAUSE

# I need love, love, to ease my mind

# I need to find time, someone to call mine

# My Mama said, you can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# She said, love don't come easy

# It's a game of give and take

# You can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# Just trust in the good time

# No matter how long it takes

# How many heartaches must I stand?

# Before I find the love to let me live again?

# Right now the only thing

# That keeps me hanging on

# When I feel my strength,

# Ooh, it's almost gone

# I remember Mama said

# You can't hurry love No, you'll just have to wait

# She said love don't come easy

# It's a game of give and take

# How long must I wait?

# And how much more must I take?

# Before loneliness

# Will cause my heart, heart to break?

# No, I can't bear to live my life alone

# I've grown impatient for a love to call my own

# But when I feel that I

# I can't go on

# Well, these precious words

# Keep me hanging on, I remember Mama said

# You can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# She said, love don't come easy

# Well, it's a game of give and take

# You can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# Just trust in the good time

# No matter how long it takes

# Now break

# Now love, love, it don't come easy

# But I keep on waiting

# Anticipating

# For that soft voice

# To talk to me at night

# For some tender arms

# To hold me tight

# I keep waiting

# Ooh, until that day

# But it ain't easy, no

# You know it ain't easy

# And my Mama said, you can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# She said, love don't come easy

# But it's a game of give and take

# You can't hurry love

# No, you'll just have to wait

# She said love don't come easy... #

APPLAUSE
