APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And what a night on Top of the Pops. It's my birthday,

and to celebrate we've got a heck of a line-up for you.

Kicking off with Duran Duran, right over here.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Duran Duran, My Own Way.

Now, I'll give you a full rundown of the top 30 a little

later on, on tonight's Top of the Pops, but number two

this week is a guy who never ceases to amaze me with quality.

It's a beautiful single, it's Cliff Richard's new one.

-Called Daddy's Home.

-APPLAUSE

# You're my love You're my angel

# You're the girl of my dreams

# And I'd like to thank you

# For waiting patiently

# Daddy's home

# Daddy's home to stay

# How I've waited for this moment

# To be by your side

# Your best friend wrote and told me

# You had teardrops in your eyes

# Daddy's home

# Daddy's home to sta-a-ay

# It wasn't on a Sunday

# Monday and Tuesday went by

# It wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon

# All I could do was cry

# But I made a promise

# That you treasure... # Thank you.

# And I made it back home to you

# How I've waited for this moment

# To be by your side

# Your best friend wrote and told me

# You had teardrops in your eyes

# Daddy's home

# Daddy's home

# To sta-a-ay

# Daddy's home

# To stay

# I'm not 1,000 miles away. #

APPLAUSE

Now then, here's Kevin Godley and Lol Creme,

and the record that has just stormed the country.

It's Wedding Bells, and they're over there.

APPLAUSE

# I should have told you all I wanted

# Was to have some fun

# To have some fun

# But you wanted me to be the permanent one

# The permanent one

# Yes, you did

# Now when we're in the movies or the back of a car

# You always stop me when I go too far

# I should have known you'd always keep me waiting for

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

# Oh, we could talk all night but you won't understand

# Don't leave me in the lurch today

# The only words you want to hear are

-# Do you take this man?

-In church today

# Does the lull in conversation mean the penny's dropping?

# You should have known that I was only window shopping

# It's my clumsy way of saying that we should be stopping

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

# I'm like a square peg in a round hole

# I don't belong here, baby

# Don't need a fanfare or a drum roll

# To tell you, baby

# I don't belong to you, baby

# Oh, you say it's not important but I know what you're thinking

# Cos every time we kiss I feel your kisses stinging

# In the back of my mind I know you'll always be ringing

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

# Those wedding bells

# I knew I should have told you all I wanted

-# Was to have some fun

-That was yesterday

# But you wanted me to be the permanent one

# Say yes today

# Oh, I'd do it but the pleasure isn't worth the pain

# We'd run out of track before we got on the train

# Can't you hear the sound of heartstrings

# Snapping under the strain

-# Of those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

-# Those wedding bells

-Wedding bells

# Wedding bells. # APPLAUSE

And here's the new single by Rod Stewart, called Young Turks.

APPLAUSE

# Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket

# And a head full of dreams

# He said, somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this

# Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mum

# She was just 17

# There were tears in her eyes when

# She kissed her little sister goodbye-eye-eye

# They held each other tight as they drove on

# Through the night they were so excited

# We got, what, one shot at life Let's take it while

# We're still not afraid

# Because life is so brief

# And time is a thief when you're undecided

# And like a fistful of sand

# It can slip right through your hands

# Young hearts, be free tonight

# Time is on your side

# Don't let them put you down

# Don't let them push you around

# Don't let them ever change your point of view

# Paradise was closed so they headed for the coast

# In a blissful manner

# They took a two-room apartment

# That was jumping every night of the week

# Happiness was found in each other's arms

# As expected

# Yeah

# Billy pierced his ears, drove a pick-up like a lunatic

# Oo-oh!

# Young hearts be free tonight

# Time is on your side

# Don't let them put you down

# Don't let them push you around

# Don't let them ever change your point of view

# Come on, baby!

# Woo!

# Young hearts be free tonight

# Time is on...on your side. #

APPLAUSE

I ask you, is this the way to spend a birthday?

That's Young Turks from Rod Stewart.

And while I get suspended from various things,

here's The Snowmen and the Hokey Cokey.

# Your left leg in

# Your left leg out

# In, out, in, out, shake it all about

# You do the hokey cokey and you turn around

# That's what it's all about

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched, ra, ra, ra!

# You put your right leg in

# Your right leg out

# In, out, in out, shake it all about

# You do the hokey cokey and you turn around

# That's what it's all about

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched, ra, ra, ra!

# You put your left arm in

# Your left arm out

# In, out, in, out, shake it all about

# Ho-ho-ho, hokey, cokey cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched, ra, ra, ra!

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey cokey cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched, ra, ra, ra!

# You put your whole self in

# Your whole self out

# In, out, in, out, shake it all about

# You do the hokey cokey, and you turn around

# That's what it's all about

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

# Knees bent, arms stretched, ra, ra, ra!

# Oh, hokey, cokey, cokey

Now then, Jon And Vangelis have got together again.

They always have success. Remember Chariots Of Fire, earlier this year?

And this is their new single, and Suzy is going to dance it for you.

APPLAUSE

# You ask me where to begin

# Am I so lost in my sin?

# You ask me, where did I fall?

# I'll say I can't tell you when

# But if my spirit is lost

# How will I find what is near?

# Don't question I'm not alone

# Somehow I'll find my way home

# My sun shall rise in the east

# So shall my heart be at peace

# And if you're asking me when

# I'll say it starts at the end

# You know your will to be free

# Is matched with love secretly

# And talk will alter your prayer

# Somehow you'll find you are there

# Your friend is close by your side

# And speaks in far ancient tongue

# A season's wish will come true

# All seasons begin with you

# One world we all come from

# One world we melt into one

# Just hold my hand and we're there

# Somehow we're going somewhere

# Somehow we're going somewhere. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

APPLAUSE

Status Quo, back in the charts with Rock 'N' Roll.

Now let's take a look at the charts,

and we've reached the point that really matters.

Almost the number one. Starting at number 11...

It's down to number 11 this week, for Earth Wind & Fire,

and Let's Groove.

Bucks Fizz, The Land Of Make Believe, at number 10.

And Soft Cell, in the bedsit, at number nine.

Godley And Creme, climbing slowly but surely to number eight.

And Diana Ross, with an old song at number seven.

Former number one, Julio Iglesias, now at number six.

And Madness go up to number five with It Must Be Love.

Adam And The Ants, rapping to number four.

And Abba, this week's number three with One Of Us.

No change at number two. It's Cliff, and Daddy's Home.

And no change at number one.

So it must be The Human League, and Don't You Want Me?

APPLAUSE

# You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

# When I met you

# I picked you out, I shook you up

# And turned you around

# Turned you into someone new

# Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet

# Success has been so easy for you

# But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now

# And I can put you back down, too

# Don't

# Don't you want me?

# You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me

# Don't

# Don't you want me?

# You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

# It's much too late to find

# When you think you've changed your mind

# You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

# Don't you want me, baby?

# Don't you want me? Oh-oh

# Don't you want me, baby?

# Don't you want me? Oh-oh

# I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

# That much is true

# But even then I knew I'd find a much better place

# Either with or without you

# The five years we have had have been such good times

# I still love you

# But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own

# I guess it's just what I must do

# Don't

# Don't you want me?

# You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me

# Don't

# Don't you want me?

# You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

# It's much too late to find

# When you think you've changed your mind

# You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

# Don't you want me, baby?

# Don't you want me? Oh-oh

# Don't you want me, baby?

# Don't you want me? Oh-oh

# Don't you want me, baby?

# Don't you want me? Oh-oh

# Don't you want me, baby? # APPLAUSE

Human League, still number one,

but will they be number one just before Christmas?

You'll have to join Kid next week on Top of the Pops to find out.

We'll go out with Altered Images. Have a great Christmas.

Bye-bye from this week's Top of the Pops.
