Let's get with The Real Thing and Boogie Down.

Eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted Chris

making his debut on bass guitar.

Now, making his customary pose

with his rock 'n' roll band, Rockpile,

it's Dave Edmunds and Girls Talk.

# There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder

# Thought I heard you mention my name

# Can't you talk any louder?

# Don't come any closer Don't come any nearer

# My vision of you can't come any clearer

# Oh, I just want to hear girls talk

# Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk

# It's a more or less situation

# It's fired by girls' talk

# But I can't say the words you wanna hear

# I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear

# Right here

# And now girls talk

# And they want to know how

# Girls talk

# And they say it's not allowed

# Girls talk

# If they say that it's so

# Don't they think that I'd know by now?

# Got the word up on everyone's lipstick

# That you're dedicated

# You may not be an old-fashioned girl

# But you're going to get dated

# Was it really murder?

# Were you just pretending?

# Lately, I have heard you are the living end

# Girls talk

# And they wanna know how

# Girls talk

# And they say it's not allowed

# Girls talk

# And they think they know how

# Girls talk

# If they say that it's so

# Don't they think that I'd know by now?

# But I can't say the words you wanna hear

# I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear

# I hear

# There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder

# Thought I heard you mention my name

# Can't you talk any louder?

# Don't come any closer Don't come any nearer

# My vision of you can't come any clearer

# Girls talk

# And they wanna know how... #

Darts, with the classic Duke Of Earl.

They've been outside the top 30 for some weeks now.

This week, they're a new entry, in at 26 - the UK Subs!

UK Subs and Stranglehold.

I'm glad The Pretenders were able to take time off

from their current British tour to come and be with us tonight

to perform a song that's near and dear to my heart.

It's Kid.

# Kid, what changed your mood?

# You've gone all sad so I feel sad too

# I think I know

# Some things we never outgrow

# You think it's wrong

# I can tell you do

# How can I explain

# When you don't want me to?

# Kid, my only kid

# You look so small

# You've gone so quiet

# I know you know

# What I'm about, I won't deny it

# But you forgive

# Though you don't understand

# You've turned your head

# You've dropped my hand

# All my sorrow

# All my blues

# All my sorrow

# Shut the light

# Go away

# Full of grace, you cover your face

# Kid, gracious kid

# Your eyes are blue

# But you won't cry

# I know angry tears are too dear

# You won't let them go. #

APPLAUSE

Pretenders and Kid.

And now, a former Record Of The Week of mine.

It's more excitement and sound, this time from a Los Angeles band

called The Knack and My Sharona.

# Oh, my little pretty one

# My pretty one

# When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?

# Ooh, you make my motor run

# My motor run

# Gun it coming off the line, Sharona

# Never gonna stop, give it up

# Such a dirty mind I always get it up

# For the touch of the younger kind

# My, my, my, I, I, woo

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# Come a little closer, huh

# Will ya, huh?

# Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona

# Keeping it a mystery gets to me

# Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona

# Never gonna stop, give it up

# Such a dirty mind I always get it up

# For the touch of the younger kind

# My, my, my, I, I, woo!

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# When you gonna give to me

# Give to me

# Is it just a matter of time Sharona?

# Is it just destiny

# Just destiny

# Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?

# Never gonna stop, give it up

# Such a dirty mind I always get it up

# For the touch of the younger kind

# My, my, my, I, I, woo!

# Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh

# My, my, my, I, I, woo!

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# My-m-m-my Sharona

# My-m-m-my Sharona. #

APPLAUSE

And from that same West Coast music Mecca

come the brothers Mael

who any pop fan will know better under the name of Sparks.

Well, they're back in Britain, they're back in business

and they're currently trying to beat the clock.

# You gotta beat the clock You gotta beat the clock

By way of a musical birthday present for young Karen here,

who's sweet 16 here today,

here's the highest new entry in the chart

from the irrepressible Boomtown Rats and I Don't Like Mondays.

# The silicon chip inside her head

# Gets switched to overload

# And nobody's gonna go to school today

# She's gonna make them stay at home

# And daddy doesn't understand it

# He always said she was good as gold

# And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons

# What reason do you need to be shown?

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# I wanna shoot

# The whole day down

# The Telex machine is kept so clean

# And it types to a waiting world

# And mother feels so shocked

# Father's world is rocked

# And their thoughts turn to their own little girl

# Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen

# Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat

# They can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons

# What reasons do you need?

# Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# I wanna shoot

# The whole day down, down, down

# Shoot it all down

# And all the playing's stopped in the playground now

# She wants to play with the toys a while

# And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

# And the lesson today is how to die

# And then the bullhorn crackles

# And the captain tackles

# With the problems of the hows and whys

# And he can see no reasons

# Cos there are no reasons

# What reason do you need to die?

# Die? Oh, oh, oh

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

# Tell me why

# I don't like I don't like

# Tell me why

# I don't like Mondays

APPLAUSE

I've just discovered two ladies who collected, between themselves,

some £50 for a very special charity.

Raise your head and tell us what that charity is.

-Year Of The Child.

-That's fantastic. It is indeed, too.

And a happy year for The Dooleys, celebrating another hit with Wanted.

# You're the kind of guy that I gotta keep away

# But it's all right

# You know you can't deny It's the price I've gotta pay

# But it's all right

# Cos though your lips are sweet as honey

# Your heart is made of solid stone

# One look and boy you got me runnin'

# I bet you saw me comin' after you alone

# Wanted

# Boy, you're everything I ever wanted

# Now all I've got's a memory

# I'm haunted

# Livin' in the shadow of your love

# Boy, you know you've got me cos you're wanted

# Boy, you're everything I ever needed

# But now you're gone and let me down

# And cheated

# Livin' in the shadow of your love

# I'm the kind of girl that'll swallow every line

# But it's all right

# You only gotta call and I'll be there any time

# And it's all right

# And now the flames are getting higher

# I'm losin' all my self control

# So come on, boy, and feed the fire

# I'm burning with desire

# Don't you leave me cold

They do say the family that plays together stays together.

Some even have hits, too. The Dooleys, there, and Wanted.

On the subject of hits, another one from the newly formed Korgis -

If I Had You.

# The other day I saw you walking

# You looked as pretty as a peach

# You looked so near

# But yet somehow you're out of reach

# I could change the world

# If I had you

# I could change the world

# If I had you

# My daddy told me not to worry

# He said, "Son, it always comes to he who waits"

# But as I wait

# I fear sometimes "Oh, no! It's too late"

# I could change the world

# If I had you

# I could change the world

# If I had you... #

APPLAUSE

Korgis, If I Had You, from the equally good album.

From a hit album, Voulez-Vous, ABBA have a new double A-sided hit.

On one side, it's Angel Eyes

and on the other, it's the title track from the album.

# People everywhere

A sense of expectation hanging in the air

# Giving out a spark

# Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark

APPLAUSE

When I last introduced this programme,

I introduced Tubeway Army for the first time

and I'm delighted to see that all these weeks later,

they're still at the top of the charts.

For four weeks, at number one, Are "Friends" Electric?

# It's cold outside

# And the paint's peeling off of my walls

# There's a man outside

# In a long coat, grey hat Smoking a cigarette

# Now the light fades out

# And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this

# There's a knock on the door

# And just for a second I thought I remembered you... #

So now I'm alone

Now I can think for myself

About little deals and issues

And things that I just don't understand

A white lie that night

Or a sly touch at times

I don't think it meant anything to you

# So I open the door

# It's the "friend" that I'd left in the hallway

# "Please sit down"

# A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed

# You know I hate to ask

# But are "friends" electric?

# Only mine's broken down

# And now I've no-one to love... #

APPLAUSE

A fantastic record, that, a real example of machine music.

As always, the number one brings the show to a close.

I hope you've enjoyed it, it's been one of great variety tonight.

Next week, we'll be back, but in the meantime,

we wish you, along with Chic, good times.

# These are the good times

# Leave your cares behind

# These are the good times

# Good times

# These are the good times

# Our new state of mind

# These are the good times

# Happy days are here again

# The time is right for makin' friends

# Let's get together

# How 'bout a quarter to ten?

# Come tomorrow Let's all do it again

# Boys will be boys

# Better let them have their toys

# Girls will be girls

# Cute pony tails and curls

# Must put an end to this stress and strife

# I think I want to live the sporting life

# Good times

# These are the good times

# Leave your cares behind

# These are the good times

# Good times

# These are the good times

# Our new state of mind

# These are the good times

# A rumour has it that it's getting late... #
