22/03/1984 Top of the Pops

Hello, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Top Of The Pops.

It's Janice and I. Hey, do you realise this is the first time

that we've done it together?

In the show tonight, people like Culture Club, Sade and UB40.

And a new number one.

But, for starters, this is Depeche Mode and People Are People.

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# So we're different colours And we're different creeds

# And different people have different needs

# It's obvious you hate me Though I've done nothing wrong

# I never even met you So what could I have done?

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# Help me understand

# Help me understand

# Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me

# I'm relying on your common decency

# So far it hasn't surfaced But I'm sure it exists

# It just takes a while to travel From your head to your fist

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# People are people so why should it be

# You and I should get along so awfully?

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand

# I can't understand What makes a man

# Hate another man Help me understand. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I think it'd be absolute brilliant if men were falling out of the sky.

I'd be absolutely spoiled for choice.

And this is what this one's all about - The Weather Girls!

Hi, hi! We're your Weather Girls. Uh-huh!

And have we got news for you! You better listen!

Get ready, all you lonely girls,

and leave those umbrellas at home. All right!

# Humidity's rising Barometer's getting low... #

How low, girl?

# According to all sources... # What sources now?

# The street's the place to go... # We better hurry up.

# Cos tonight for the first time

# Just about half-past ten

# For the first time in history

# It's gonna start raining men

# It's raining men Hallelujah

# It's raining men Amen

# I'm gonna go out I'm gonna let myself get

# Absolutely soaking wet!

# It's raining men Hallelujah

# It's raining men Every specimen

# Tall, blond, dark and lean Rough and tough and strong and mean

# God bless Mother Nature She's a single woman too

# She took off to heaven And she did what she had to do

# She taught every angel to rearrange the sky

# So that each and every woman

# Could find her perfect guy

# It's raining men Hallelujah

# It's raining men Amen

# It's raining men. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is so good. That's The Weather Girls and It's Raining Men.

Now, for his 15th consecutive hit,

Shakin' Stevens, A Love Worth Waiting For.

# If you should ever want to be set free

# If you're not certain your future lies with me

# I'll let you go, girl

# Until your heart is sure

# It's a love worth waiting for

# Now I won't stop you from leaving cos I know

# The way to keep you would be to let you go

# And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# If you should leave me

# Oh, please remember

# In my heart there's a fire

# A flame of desire for your charms

# I will keep alive this glowing ember

# A love that will burn until you're back in my arms

# You know, my darling I need you here with me

# But only to stay because it's where you ought to be

# Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# In my heart there's a fire

# A flame of desire for your charms

# A love that will burn until you're back in my arms

# You know, my darling I need you here with me

# But only to stay because it's where you ought to be

# Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# It's a love worth waiting for. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The highest new entry on the chart this week is from Culture Club.

It's A Miracle and it's the story of the band so far. Here's the video.

# Guns that cross the street You never know who you might meet

# Who's in disguise

Lionel Richie, Hello.

Tony, Billyboy's been in prison for 25 years.

He's only been out for three days.

The last time you were a free man, the Brooklyn Dodgers were

still the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Eisenhower was your President.

Laura. Amanda's intrigued with Billyboy.

Billyboy, ask Amanda for a date.

We could go to the Paramount, maybe.

There is no more Brooklyn Paramount.

It's been taken over by some college. Or the Albee.

That's gone too. You're a regular Rip Van Winkle, aren't you?

# I've been alone with you inside my mind

# And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times... #

Been a long time since I've been on a date.

# I sometimes see you pass outside my door

# Hello

# Is it me you're looking for?

# I can see it in your eyes

# I can see it in your smile

# You're all I've ever wanted

# And my arms are open wide

# Cos you know just what to say

# And you know just what to do

# And I want to tell you so much

# I love you

It's OK?

# I long to see the sunlight in your hair... #

Hi, Laura. Sorry we're late.

# And tell you time and time again

# How much I care

# Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

# Hello

# I've just got to let you know

# Cos I wonder where you are

# And I wonder what you do

# Are you somewhere feeling lonely?

# Or is someone loving you?

# Tell me how to win your heart

# For I haven't got a clue

# But let me start by saying... # It isn't good for you, Billyboy.

Too many memories, too many ghosts. # I love you... #

It's what I know.

This and the can.

We could go to Florida.

Or we could go out west. What are you telling me?

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

# Hello

# Is it me you're looking for?

# Cos I wonder where you are

# And I wonder what you do

# Are you somewhere feeling lonely?

# Or is someone loving you?

# Tell me how to win your heart

# For I haven't got a clue

# But let me start by saying

# I love you... #

Mr Reynolds?

Excuse me, but there's something going on in the sculpture class.

I think you ought to check it out.

I've wanted you to see it so many times.

But I finally think it's done.

Tell me what you think of it.

Oh, it's wonderful. This is how I see you.

# Hello

# Is it me you're looking for? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Anything that's sad! Americans love doing out-there videos.
