18/08/1977 Top of the Pops

It's Top Of The Pops, with the rundown to the sound of The Stranglers.

MUSIC: "Something Better Change" by The Stranglers

# Don't you like the way I move when you see me?

# Don't you like the things that I say?

# Don't you like the way I seem to enjoy it?

# When you shout things but I don't care

# Something's happening and it's happening right now

# You're too blind to see it

# Something's happening and it's happening right now

# Ain't got time to wait

# I said something better change

# I said something better change

# I said something better change

# I said something better change... #

APPLAUSE

That's what the Top 30 looks like this week.

In the Top 30 for the first time at 28, The Dooleys.

MUSIC: "Think I'm Gonna Fall In Love With You" by The Dooleys

# I saw you dancing on that hot and crowded floor

# And from that moment, baby I knew it

# You looked like no-one that I'd ever seen before

# With every step you put me through it

# And when I held you I thought I could resist

# Thought I was strong Guess I was wrong

# Cos when I try to say Forget it, girl, and walk away

# I just can't do it

# Cos I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Whoa, baby I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do

# Uh-huh, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# I never wanted to, but then

# Whoa-woh, baby

# And I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Whoa-woh

# I think I'm gonna fall Yes, I do

# Mm-mm, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Here comes that feeling once again

# I've known a lot of girls I've really been around

# One night of love and then I forget 'em

# Each time, a different one another hand-me-down

# Like a fool, I never knew better

# Cos when I hold you You really touch my heart

# The something I feel has got to be real

# Now day by day I find you're ever on my mind

# I just can't help it

# And I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Whoa, baby, I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do

# Uh-huh, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# I never wanted to, but then

# Whoa-woh, baby, and I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Whoa-woh I think I'm gonna fall, yes I do

# I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Here comes that feeling once again

# Yeah, I think I'm gonna fall in love with you

# Whoa, baby, I think I'm gonna fall Yes I do... #

Number 25, Mink DeVille and Spanish Stroll.

Well, at number 14 in the charts there's Carly Simon with Nobody Does It Better.

We agree with that statement, especially when the people doing it are Legs And Co.

# Nobody does it better

# Makes me feel sad for the rest

# Nobody does it half as good as you

# Baby, you're the best

# I wasn't looking but somehow you found me

# I tried to hide from your love light

# But like heaven above me The spy who loved me

# Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

# And nobody does it better

# Though sometimes I wish someone could

# Nobody does it quite the way you do

# Why'd you have to be so good?

# The way that you hold me Whenever you hold me

# There's some kind of magic inside you

# That keeps me from running But just keep it coming

# How'd you learn to do the things you do?

# And nobody does it better

# Makes me feel sad for the rest

# Nobody does it half as good as you

# Baby, baby

# Darling, you're the best

# Baby, you're the best. #

-APPLAUSE

-There it is, Carly Simon, Legs And Co,

and the theme from the new James Bond film, Nobody Does It Better.
