We start Top Of The Pops this week with the number-ten sound

from John Miles!

MUSIC: "Slow Down" by John Miles

# People always rushin' around Makin' time to fuss and to worry

# Get your feet back on the ground It's no good to live in a hurry

# Take it easy on your mind No-one wants to get behind

# Think about it, you will find Time is on your side

# Slow down, baby!

# Can't slow down

# Slow down, baby

# Can't slow down

# Slow down, woman

# Can't slow down

# Baby won't you please slow down. #

All right!

Ooh!

Take it up, take it up!

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... #

TALK-BOX SOLO

# Things around you change so fast Livin' day-to-day is confusing

# Woh-oh!

# And how long will the good times last

# Thinkin' you're on top when you're losin'?

# Yeah-eh-eh

# Take it easy on your mind No-one wants to get behind

# Think about it, think about it

# Slow down, baby

# Can't slow down

# Slow down, baby

# Can't slow down

-Can't slow down

# You've got to, you've got to. #

APPLAUSE

Is that magic? Slow Down, this week's number-ten sound for you.

You're probably wondering at home, what's happened to the normal start to our programme,

where you see the Top 30 and it went # Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh. #

It's changing. The Top 30 rundown is here for you now,

plus Tavares.

# One step away

# From wedding bells

# One step away

# That's when the bottom fell

# One step away

# From a honeymoon

# Suddenly a change came over you

# And so I'll go and change my whole routine

# I'll try to hide myself behind the scenes

# And now I vow I'm standing in the wings

# I don't think I can start again Cos we were

# One step away

# One step away from wedding bells... #

APPLAUSE

Tavares there, and One Step Away on Top Of The Pops,

with the Top 30 rundown.

Right now we introduce to you the fabulous Bay City Rollers

and their new one, You Made Me Believe In Magic.

# I believed that love has gone

# Have no strength to carry on

# Thought my world was upside-down

# Then you walked on into my life

# Went to work to set things right

# What's the secret that you, that you used?

# You made me believe in magic

# You know that I can be true to your love

# You made me believe in magic

# Your love put a magic into my life

# Now, I'm filled with a new sense to be

# You gave my life harmony

# Lovin' you is all I, all I need

# You made me believe in magic

# You know that I can be true to your love

# You made me believe in magic

# Your love put a magic into my life

# Oh, you made me believe in magic

# You know that I can be true to your love

# You made me believe in magic

# Your love put a magic into my life

# You made me believe in magic

# You know that I can be true to your love

# You made me believe in magic

# Your love put a magic into my life

# You made me believe in magic

# You know that I can be true... #

Hey! You Made Me Believe In Magic. Listen, I've got news for you.

I believe in anything after seeing those socks. Incredible.

Here's a number that's going to do well in the charts,

from the Brotherhood Of Man.

# Long ago

# High on a mountain in Mexico

# Lived a young shepherd boy Angelo

# Who met a young girl and he loved her so

# Rich was she

# Came from a very high family

# Angelo knew it could never be

# They ran away to their destiny

# Running away together Running away forever

# Angelo

# Running away from danger

# Hiding from every stranger

# Angelo

# They knew it wasn't wrong

# They found a love so strong

# They took their lives at night

# And in the morning light

# They found them on the sand

# They saw them lying there Hand in hand

Brotherhood Of Man poised to take over that number-one position.

Watch out for them. That was called Angelo.

Right now, number 30 in the charts this week, it is The Jam.

-All over this land

-# You got to get up and be there

-Youth explosion

# Because this is your last chance

# You can't dismiss what has gone before

# But there's foundations for us to explore

# I said

# All around the world I've been looking for new

# All around the world I've been looking for new

# Youth explosion!

-# Oooooh

-A new direction

The Jam. This week's number 30. Some people from Ireland. Say hello.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Right now we have for you Alessi Brothers with Oh, Lori.

# I'd like to stay in love with you

# All summer and after fall

# I'll keep you warm through the winter

# Because I've noticed one thing

# This ain't no summer fling

# I'd like to ride my bicycle with you

# On the handlebars

# You'd laugh and run away

# And I'd chase you through the meadow

# Without you I'd die

# Let's never say goodbye

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall

# Oooh, and winter

# You are the season

-# Oh, Lori

-Oh, Lori

# You make me feel as though I've been born again

# Born again

# You danced for me in your bare feet

# That mellow afternoon

# When we made love to each other

# And I'm loving you

# That's all I want to do

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall

# Oooh, and winter

# You are the season

-# Oh, Lori

-Oh, Lori

# You make me feel as though I've been born again

# Born again

# Do-do-do-do

# Do-do

# Yeah

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall

# Oooh, and winter

# You are the season

-# Oh, Lori

-Oh, Lori

# You make me feel as though I've been born again

# Born again

# Oh, Lori

# You bring the spring, the summer, fall... #

# Now there you go again, you say

# You want your freedom

# Well, who am I to keep you down?

# It's only right that you should play the way you feel it

# But listen carefully to the sound

# Of your loneliness

# Like a heartbeat drives you mad

# In the stillness of remembering what you had

# And what you lost

# And what you had

# And what you lost

# Thunder only happens when it's raining

# Players only love you when they're playing

# Say women they will come and they will go

# When the rain washes you clean, you'll know... #

There's Fleetwood Mac for you at number 25, it's entitled Dreams.

Now then, after a good meal on a Thursday, what do you need?

A crunch.

# The crunch! #

It's a wild bit of music and a wild bunch of characters.

The Rah Band and The Crunch.

After that we need something nice and relaxing,

and we've got a lovely guy with us today, Danny Williams.

His latest one is called Dancing Easy.

# Close your eyes and you'll find

# When the rhythm takes over, you're mine

# You'll be swaying, music playing

# Dancing easy

# Any time, any place, anywhere

# There's a magical world we can share

# In a new world, me and you, girl

# Dancing easy

# Nice and slow

# Round and round we go

-# On a carousel ride of our own

-We won't be dancing alone

-# We won't be dancing alone

-We won't be dancing alone!

# Any time, any place, anywhere

# From today, you know we can stay

# In a new world, me and you, girl

# Dancing easy

# Yeah-eah-eah-eah

# Nice and slow

# Round and round we go

-# On a carousel ride of our own

-We won't be dancing alone

-# We won't be dancing alone

-We won't be dancing alone!

# Any time, any place, anywhere

# There's a magical world we can share

# In a new world, me and you, girl

# Dancing easy

# Any time, any place, anywhere

# From today, you know we can stay

# In a new world, me and you, girl

# Dancing easy

# Any time, any place, anywhere

# You can guess, the day you say yes

# To a new world, me and you, girl

-# Dancing easy,

-Dancing easy

-# O-ho-ho, dancing easy,

-Dancing easy

# O-ho-ho, dancing easy... #

That's a really nice piece of music from Danny Williams,

a number called Dancing Easy.

Look at the number 17 spot and who will you find? Queen.

# I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things

# We can do the tango just for two

# I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings

# Be your Valentino, just for you

# Ooh, love

# Ooh, lover boy

# What you doin' tonight, hey boy?

# Set my alarm, turn on my charm

# That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy

-# Ooh, let me feel your heartbeat

-Grow faster, faster

# Ooh ooh, can you feel my love heat?

# Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love

# And tell me how do you feel right after all

# I'd like for you and I to go romancing

# Say the word Your wish is my command

# Ooh, love

# Ooh, lover boy

# What you doin' tonight, hey, boy?

# Write my letter Feel much better

# And use that fancy patter on the telephone

# When I'm not with you

# I think of you always

# I miss you

# When I'm not with you

# Think of me always

# I love you

# Love you

# Hey, boy, where do you get it from?

# Hey, boy, where did you go?

# I learned my passion in the good old-fashioned school of lover boys

# Dining at the Ritz We'll meet at 9.00 precisely

# I will pay the bill You taste the wine

# Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely

# Take me back to yours That will be fine

# Come on and get it Ooh, love

# Ooh, lover boy

# What you doin' tonight, hey boy?

# Everything's all right Just hold on tight

# That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy. #

That's Queen for you, and the number-17 sound.

And now, what have we got for you? It's got to be the big one, right?

Number one, I forecast it last week, pleased to say it's there,

it's Donna Summer and I Feel Love, and I feel that you're going to see

some beautiful girls on your screen - Legs & Co!

# Ooh

# It's so good, it's so good

# It's so good, it's so good

# It's so good

# Ooh

# Heaven knows, heaven knows

# Heaven knows, heaven knows

# Heaven knows

# Ooh

# I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# Ooh

# Fallin' free, fallin' free

# Fallin' free, fallin' free

# Fallin' free

# Ooh

# You and me, you and me

# You and me, you and me

# You and me

# Ooh

# I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love... #

There it is, the number-one sound, I Feel Love by Donna Summer.

I can assure that our play-out group does not refer to Legs & Co - Boney M.

They're finishing off. I'll be with you on the radio, tomorrow, 4.30pm.

Until next week's Top Of The Pops, take care. Bye-bye. See you soon.

# She was the meanest cat

# In old Chicago town

# She was the meanest cat

# She really mowed them down

# She had no heart at all

# No no no heart at all

# She was the meanest cat

# Oh, she was really tough

# She left her husband flat

# He wasn't tough enough

# She took her boys along

# Cos they were mean and strong
