Roxy Roller. An exciting new single release from Suzi Quatro.

More pretty girls coming up after the programme, a little bit later.

But, right now, Heatwave, and Too Hot To Handle.

# Watch out, funk's about

# And it's going to get to steaming

# Cos it can smoke that building out

# And make you feel like screaming

# And when the beat gets stucks to you

# Your eyes will start to water

# Cos there ain't nothing and nothing you can do

# Cos your breath keeps getting shorter, and shorter

# But don't you let it get too hot

# Too hot, too hot

# Too hot to handle

# Too hot, too hot

# Too hot to stay calm

# Too much, too much to stay calm

# Too hot to handle

# Too hot

# If the heat gets out of hand

# There'll sure enough be a fire

# Cos you can't stop our blazing band

# They'll only take you higher

# You better stomp all out the show

# Cos the beat will make you messed up

# And it can burn up burn up all your fuse

# Or blow out your resistors

# But don't you let it get too hot

# Too hot, too hot

# Too hot to handle

# Heat gets higher

# Too hot, too hot

# Don't make this team it with your night, girl

# You've got, you've got to stay on top... #

It's not often we introduce a Gilbert and Sullivan number

on Top Of The Pops,

but this week is an exception.

From an exceptional lady, here is The Moon And I,

from the Mikado, sung by Linda Lewis.

# Just as the moon must have the sun

# And cannot shine without him

# So is the sun must shine by day so strong

# I cannot doubt him

# If he is whole in heart and soul,

# I follow him wherever

# If he is pure, then I'm secure

# And we'll be one together

# I do not want a saint

# I want a man

# With faults I love as well

# As woman can

# And such a one I'll love until I die

# We really need the sun

# The moon and I

# We really need the sun

# The moon

# The moon

# And I

# Aaaaa ooo-oooh, oo-oo-ooh

# Just as the sun must shine by day

# In splendid isolation

# So is the moon alone at night

# A lonely imitation

# I wonder why the poets try

# To liken love to heaven

# When love on earth has so much worth

# For those to whom it's given

# With you I am a part of love's desire

# And I can feel your heart beat close to mine

# We harmonise with land and sea and sky

# We sing beneath the stars

# My love and I

# My stars have made us far

# The moon and I. #

Beautiful song. That was Linda Lewis.

Here come the Bay City Rollers.

At number 21 in the charts this week, and It's A Game.

# The clown came down to meet me

# With a smile upon his face

# He fired his starting pistol

# And began the human race

# There were faces all around me

# They were running everywhere

# But everywhere is nowhere

# And nowhere isn't there

# It's a game, a game

# A game that we're playing

# Well, I don't mind

# But I don't make the rules

# It's a game, a game

# A game that we're playing

# Just a game for lovers and fools

# There's snakes upon your ladder

# And there's dice upon your skirt

# There's lipstick on my collar

# And there's sweat upon my shirt

# The neighbours will start talking

# But you know that I don't care

# For the neighbours they are nowhere

# And nowhere isn't there

# It's a game, a game

# A game that we're playing

# Well, I don't mind

# But I don't make the rules

# It's a game, a game

# A game that we're playing

# Well, I don't mind

# But I don't make the rules

# It's a game

# Game... #

It's a real treat for me to be able to introduce Carole Bayer Sager,

who's currently in this country

writing the music for the new James Bond movie.

Here she is with one of my favourite singles of the moment.

It's one of her own songs. It's called You're Moving Out Today.

# I stayed out late one night and you moved in

# I didn't mind cos of the state you were in

# May I remind you that it's been a year since then

# Today the landlady, she said to me

# What did she say?

# Your loony friend just made a pass at me

# Slap him in the face

# Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea

# So pack your toys away

# Your pretty boys away

# Your 45s away

# Your alibis away

# Your Spanish flies away

# Your one-more-tries away

# Your old tie-dyes away

# You're moving out today

# I'm so sorry

# I'm so sorry

# Your nasty habits ain't confined to bed

# Ha Ha Ha Ha

# The grocer told me what you do with bread

# What do you do?

# Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead of me, fool!

# Pack up your rubber duck

# I'd like to wish you luck

# Your funny cigarettes

# Your 61 cassettes

# Pack all your clothes away

# Your rubber hose away

# Your old dayglos away

# You're moving out today

# Bum bum, burububum

# Burip bip bup bip bip butup

# Butup bum butop bum

# Butubup bup bup bup bup bup butubup

-# Hate to do it

-You gotta

-Hate to do it

-You gotta

-# Hate to do it

-You gotta

-Hate to do it

-You gotta

# I'm so sorry

# I'm so sorry

# Pack up your dirty looks

# Your songs that have no hooks

# Your stacks of Modern Screen

# Your portrait of the Queen

# Your mangy cat away

# Your baby fat away

# You're headed that-a-way

# You're moving out today

# Pack up your fork and spoon

# Please leave my Lorna Doones

# Your map of Mozambique

# Your water bed that leaks

# La la-la-la la-la-la la la

# La la-la-la la la la

# La la-la-la la la la

# La la-la-la la la la

# Can't help it, the girl can't help it

# Can't help it. #

I really can't help it, you see

I'm having company tonight...

Carole Bayer Sager.

I love that record. You're Moving Out Today.

Number three in the charts,

here comes Joe Tex up from number four last week,

and he's not planning on bumping any more with that big, fat lady,

you know what I mean?

# Three nights ago

# I was at a disco

# Man I wanted to bump

# I was rarin' to go

# This big fat woman

# Bumped me on the floor

# She was rarin' to go

# That chick was rarin' to go

# Then she did a dip

# Almost broke my hip

# She was getting down

# That chick was getting down

# She wanted to bump some mo'

# But I told her no

# You done knocked me down once

# You done knocked me down once

# Said if you want to dance

# Find you a big fat man

# Y'all go on and get on down

# Y'all go on and get on down

# I ain't going to bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't going to bump no more with no big fat woman

# I ain't going to bump no more with no big fat woman

# Somebody take her

# She's too big for me

# She done knocked me down once down once

# She came over to me

# Snatched me out of my seat

# She wanted to get on down

# Still wanted to get on down

Joe Tex, pumping away.

Well, for fans of Legs & Co, we have a bonanza for you today

From the land of 1,000 dances, here come The Jacksons

and a great new single from them, Show You The Way To Go.

# Let me show you

# Let me show you the way to go

# I don't know everything

# But there's something I do know

Hey!

Put 'em up high so I can see 'em.

Put 'em up high.

Making their debut on this week's Top Of The Pops, here's The Jam,

and an effervescent new 45 called In The City.

# In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you

# But whenever I approach you

# You make me look a fool

# I wanna say

# I wanna tell you

# About the young ideas

# But you turn them into fears

# In the city there's a thousand faces all shining bright

# And those golden faces are under 25

# They wanna say

# They gonna tell ya

# About the young idea

# You better listen now you've said your bit

Ha!

# And I know what you're thinking

# You still think I am cracked

# But you'd better listen man

# Because the kids know where it's at

# In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms

# And I've heard they now have the right to kill a man

# We wanna say

# We gonna tell ya

# About the young idea

# And if it don't work, at least we still tried

# In the city

# In the city

# In the city

# In the city

# In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you. #

Right at the forefront of a new rock phenomenon known as New Wave.

There go The Jam, and In The City.

Right now, it's time for our number one sound,

and this week, of course, it's the double A-side of Rod Stewart.

Yes, he's done it again, on one side,

I Don't Want To Talk About It.

And on the other, a track from his Night On The Town album,

written by Cat Stevens, many years ago, a hit later for PP Arnold,

this is First Cut Is The Deepest.

# I would have given you all of my heart

# But there's someone who's torn it apart

# And she's taken just all that I had

# But if you want I'll try to love again

# Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

# The first cut is the deepest

# Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

# When it come to being lucky she's cursed

# When it come to loving me she's worst

# I still want you by my side

# Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried

# But I'm sure going to give you a try

# Cos if you want

# I'll try to love again

# Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

# The first cut is the deepest

# Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest

# But when it comes to being lucky she's cursed

# When it come to loving me she's worst. #

That's the number one sound.

It's time to say goodbye for this week's Top Of The Pops.

We hope you've enjoyed it and that you'll join us again next week.

We leave you with Boz Scaggs and the Lido Shuffle.

From me it's good love.

# Lido missed the boat that day

# He left the shack

# But that was all he missed

# And he ain't comin' back

# At a Tombstone bar

# In a juke-joint car he made a stop

# Just long enough

# To grab a handle off the top

# Next stop Chi-town

# Lido put the money down

# Let her roll

# He said

# One more job oughta get it. #
