20/01/77 Top of the Pops

Hello and welcome to Top Of The Pops.

# Powdered my nose in Alabama

# Out on a limb

# Powdered my nose in Indiana

# Ain't that a sin

# I had to get my butt out quick

# It always works The old, old trick

# I got away just in the nick of time

# That's why

# I powdered my nose in Oklahoma

# Over the top

# I wasted away in New Orleans

# I couldn't stop

# Down in the alley - happy dust

# Me and Romona, we was getting' bust

# I got away just in the nick of time

# That's why

# I got the nickname the Gypsy Roadhog

# On the California trail

# I gotta keep my wheels movin' on

# I gotta keep me out of jail

# I powdered my nose in San Francisco

# Down on the bay

# It went to my head down in New York City

# I was blasted away

# When two ugly scuts bust in the room

# They took away my little silver spoon

# I got away just in the nick of time

# That's why

# I got the nickname the Gypsy Roadhog

# On the California trail

# I gotta keep my wheels movin' on

# I gotta keep me out of jail

# I'm comin' through, through, through

# I'm comin' through, through, through

# I'm comin' through, through, through

# On the look out for you

# I'll keep the wheels movin' Keep them movin' on

# I'll keep them turnin' Keep then turnin' on

# On the California trail

# I'll keep the wheels Keep them turnin', turnin', turnin'

# Keep them movin' on Keep them movin' on

# I got the nickname the Gypsy Roadhog

# On the California trail

# Keep them wheels a movin' Keep them movin' on. #

APPLAUSE

They're back after a bit of an absence from Top of the Pops.

That's Slade and The Gypsy Roadhog.

It's an interesting chart at the moment. Some very nice material in it.

This used to be my Record of the Week and it comes from Donna Summer.

# Emptiness and just a memory

# Love is gone with nothing left for me

# All these wasted feelings

# On something I no longer have

# I never knew that love could hurt so bad

# Winter melody

# Why don't you play for me

# Winter melody

# Why, why won't you play

# Winter melody

# Play for me

# Just for me

# He's not coming home

# And I'm here alone

# On my own

# I can't bear to see the sun go down

# Casting stormy shadows all around

# Nothing seems to matter

# I just get by from day to day

# I never knew that you would leave this way

# Winter melody

# Come on and play for me

# Winter melody

# Oh

# Winter melody

# Play for me

# Just for me

-# Ooh

-He's not coming home

# And I am here alone

# On my own. #

APPLAUSE

# Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river

# Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

# You lay your bets and then you pay the price

-# The things we do for love

-The things we do for love

# Communication is the problem to the answer

# You've got her number and your hand is on the phone

# The weather's turned and all the lines are down

-# The things we do for love

-The things we do for love

# Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go

# When you're feeling like a part of you is dying

# And you're looking for the answer in her eyes

# You think you're gonna break up Then she says she wants to make up

# Ooh, you made me love you

# Ooh, you've got a way

# Ooh, you had me crawling

# On the floor

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

# Woo-woo-woo-ooh

# Woo-hoo-ooh-woo

# Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go

# When you're feeling like a part of you is dying

# And you're looking for the answer in her eyes

# You think you're gonna break up Then she says she wants to make up

# Ooh, you made me love you

# Ooh, you've got a way

# Ooh, you had me crawling

# On the floor

# A compromise would surely help the situation

# Agree to disagree but disagree to part

# When after all it's just a compromise

-# Of the things we do for love

-The things we do for love

-# The things we do for love

-The things we do for love

-# The things we do for love

-The things we do for love.

APPLAUSE

Interesting, very interesting. 10cc and The Things We Do For Love.

I said at the beginning it's an interesting chart.

There are 17 records going up, 16 coming down,

there are five new entries.

Here's one of them. This is Jesse Green.

# What can I tell you to make you see

# Just what you're doin'

# What you're doin' to me

# If you don't get it Then I'll explain

# You know you're driving Driving me insane

# Gonna flip, hip

# Lose my grip, hip, hip

# Gonna slip, hip

# Take a trip, hip, hip

# I tell you baby, my sweet lovechild

# The things you're doing Girl, you drive me wild

# You've kept me waiting for too much time

# I can't hold much longer Babe, I lose my mind

# Gonna flip, hip

# Lose my grip, hip, hip

# Gonna slip, hip

# Take a trip, hip, hip

# Gonna slip, hip

# Take a trip, hip, hip

APPLAUSE

Jesse Green and he's having a flip.

Have you ever had that sensation

that you'd love to put an overcoat on and a hat

and go out on the street and find a lamppost and then start taking your clothes off?

Have you ever had that feeling?

I have a suspicion that Legs & Co

have had that feeling once or twice, or three times.

MUSIC: "Suspicion" by Elvis Presley

# Every time you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me

# Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care

# Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me

# Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there?

# Suspicion torments my heart

# Suspicion keeps us apart

# Suspicion Why torture me?

# Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow

# I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight

# Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?

# Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight?

# Suspicion torments my heart

# Suspicion keeps us apart

# Suspicion Why torture me?

# Darling, if you love me I beg you wait a little longer

# Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind

# How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger

# Maybe I'm suspicious because true love is so hard to find

# Suspicion torments my heart

# Suspicion keeps us apart

# Suspicion Why torture me? #

APPLAUSE

Painful! Painful! That's Legs & Co keeping up the standards.

The lamp standards.

In the meantime, the Drifters have got a Little Red Book.

# Oh, oh,

# Yeah, yes

# You're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night date

# All it had to take me was just one look

# My heart began a-thumpin' Babe, you had it jumpin'

# Because you're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night stand

# In case you get to thinkin' that you've been took

# You're more than a number written in my little red book

# Oh, baby, give us a chance

# Don't let the small-town rumours end our first real romance

# Now I'll admit I've loved a few

# But there was never one like you

-# So, darlin'

-So, darlin'

# Don't believe the things they say

# You're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night date

# All it had to take me was just one look

# My heart began a-thumpin' Babe, you had it jumpin'

# Cos you're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night stand

# In case you get to thinkin' that you've been took

# You're more than a number written in my little red book

# Oh, baby, you gave me a sign

# I threw away the numbers of those old flames of mine

# And now they're tryin' to put you wise

# Knock me down in my girl's eyes

-# Oh, darlin'

-Oh, darlin'

# Don't believe the words they say

# You're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night date

# All it had to take me was just one look

# My heart began a-thumpin' Babe, you had it jumpin'

# Cos you're more than a number in my little red book

# You're more than a one-night stand

# In case you get to thinkin' that you've been took

# You're more than a number written in my little red book.

# Whoa-oh-whoa...#

APPLAUSE

The Drifters with Little Red Book.

I'm just doing an impression of John Lennon. Lennon on the lamppost.

Here's something that makes quite an impression.

My Record of the Week this week on the Radio One breakfast programme.

A single which I've got my fingers crossed for.

Leo Sayer and what happens When I Need You.

# When I need you

# I just close my eyes and I'm with you

# And all that I so want to give you

# It's only a heartbeat away

# When I need love

# I hold out my hands and I touch love

# I never knew there was so much love

# Keeping me warm night and day

# Miles and miles of empty space in between us

# The telephone can't take the place of your smile

# But you know I won't be travelling forever

# It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

# When I need you

# I just close my eyes and I'm with you

# And all that I so want to give you, babe

# It's only a heartbeat away

# It's not easy when the road is your driver

# Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear

# But you know I won't be travelling a lifetime

# It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

# Oh, I need you

# When I need love

# I hold out my hands and I touch love

# I never knew there was so much love

# Keeping me warm night and day

# When I need you

# I just close my eyes

# And you're right here by my side

# Keeping me warm night and day

# I just hold out my hands

# I just hold out my hands

# And I'm with you, darlin'

# Yes, I'm with you, darlin'

# And all I want to give you

# It's only a heartbeat away

# Oh, I want you, darlin'... #

APPLAUSE

Love that. Love it so much.

That's the sound of Leo Sayer and When I Need You.

And especially for Flynn's new girlfriend, Lizzy, this is Flynn Lizzy.

# Don't believe me if I tell you

# Not a word of this is true

# Don't believe me if I tell you

# Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you

# Don't believe me if I tell you

# That I wrote this song for you

# There might be some other silly pretty girl I'm singing it to

# Don't believe a word

# For words are only spoken

# Your heart is like a promise

# Made to be broken

# Don't believe a word

# Words can tell lies

# And lies are no comfort when there's tears in your eyes

# Don't believe me if I tell you

# Not a word of this is true

# Don't believe me if I tell you

# Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you

# Don't believe a word

# No, don't believe a word

# Don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it,

# Don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it

# Hey. #

APPLAUSE

Don't Believe A Word, especially for Flynn's girlfriend, Elizabeth,

known as Flynn Lizzy.

When this gentleman got on to the stage,

there was the most enormous cheer.

On Top Of The Pops, Gary Glitter is back.

# Cuddle up close

# Just hold me tight

# Don't let me go

# It's feeling so right

# Baby, they dim the lights

# And we're only just turning on

# Cos it takes all night long

# To get it on

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# I told the DJ

# Leave the turntable on

# I know if we stay

# He'll keep playing our song

# We're moving nice and easy

# Now we just got to go on

# Cos it takes all night long

# To get it on

# Oh, oh, oh

# Oh no, you can't go home

# All on your own

# Feeling so right

# What a night to

# Tell all your friends

# Everything's changed

# If anyone asks

# Just say you're engaged

# Only a kiss or two

# Can squeeze in between me and you

# Cos it takes all night long

# To get it on

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Oh, what a night

# No other love

# Just one more kiss. #

APPLAUSE

You know, everybody's talking about love these days

Open a magazine and you read it

Turn on the radio and you hear it

Why can't we find it in real life

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to give it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to hear it

# Isn't it strange?

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to mean it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# How come I have never seen it

# Isn't it strange?

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Love, love, love, love

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to give it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to mean it

# Isn't it strange?

# Isn't it strange?

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to give it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to live it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# But nobody seems to mean it

# Everybody's talking 'bout love

# How come I have never seen it? #

APPLAUSE

Silver Convention and Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout Love.

It strikes me that everybody's talking about this particular gentleman.

He's got an LP out at the moment, so you might care to give that a bit of a listen.

But he's still in the number-one slot. David Soul and he's not giving up.

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Don't make a wrong seem right

# The future isn't just one night

# It's written in the moonlight

# Painted on the stars

# We can't change ours

# Don't give up on us, baby

# We're still worth one more try

# I know we put a last one by

# Just for a rainy evening

# When maybe stars are few

# Don't give up on us

# I know we can still come through

# I really lost my head last night

# You've got a right to stop believin'

# There's still a little love left

# Even so

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Lord knows we've come this far

# Can't we stay the way we are?

# The angel and the dreamer

# Who sometimes plays a fool

# Don't give up on us

# I know we can still come through

# It's written in the moonlight

# Painted on the stars

# We can't change ours

# Don't give up on us, baby

# We're still worth one more try

# I know we put a last one by

# Just for a rainy evening

# When maybe stars are few

# Don't give up on us

# I know we can still come through

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Don't give up on us, baby. #

APPLAUSE

A nice optimistic note on which we end this edition of Top Of The Pops

and Don't Give Up On Us, Baby.

I'll be on the Breakfast Show tomorrow. See you then.

From this edition of Top Of The Pops, it's bye-bye with Boney M.

# She's crazy like a fool

# What about Daddy Cool?

# I'm crazy like a fool

# What about Daddy Cool?

# Daddy, Daddy Cool

# Daddy, Daddy Cool

# Daddy, Daddy Cool

# Daddy, Daddy Cool

# She's crazy like a fool
