22/04/1982 Top of the Pops

Hi, folks. Welcome to Top Of The Pops.

A great big party tonight, stacks of interest,

lots of bands and lots of action.

For openers, it's Pigbag with Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag.

INSTRUMENTAL

It's got to the hottest dance number in the UK at the moment

from Pigbag and Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag.

And a great togetherness with Bananarama

and Fun Boy Three right now.

# Hey yeah yeah

# I was walking down the street

# When this boy started following me

# Now I ignored all the things he said

# He moved me in every way

# With his collar unbuttoned

# On my side he was struttin'

-# He was really saying something

-(saying something)

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# He flirted every step of the way

# I could hear every word he'd say

# My resistance was getting low

# And my feelings started to show

# My heart started thumping

# Blood pressure jumping

-# He was really saying something

-(saying something)

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# He walked me to my door

# I agreed to see him once more

# Ladylike it may not be

# But he moved me tremendously

# Although he was bold

# My heart he stole

-# He was really saying something

-(saying something)

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

-# Really saying something

-(saying something)

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah

# Bop bop shoo be doo wah. #

It's a great combination of Fun Boy Three and Bananarama,

and Really Saying Something.

It's great for Top Of The Pops when a real megastar comes to do it live.

Look at Elton John and here, his hit.

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# Like a deep blue sea

# On a blue, blue day

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# When the morning comes

# I'll be far away

# And I say

# Blue eyes holding back the tears

# Holding back the pain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And she's alone

# Again

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# Like a clear blue sky

# Watching over me

# Blue eyes

# Ooh, I love blue eyes

# When I'm by her side

# Where I long to be

# I will see

# Blue eyes laughing in the sun

# Laughing in the rain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And I am home

# And I am home again

# Blue eyes laughing in the sun

# Laughing in the rain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And I am home

# Again. #

Absolutely fabulous. Elton John, Blue Eyes.

That's just one of the great tracks

that you can hear on his brand-new LP called Jump Up.

Go get it, you'll love it.

He's got Watford on his mind. We've got England World Cup Squad on ours.

# We're on our way

# We are Ron's 22

# Hear the roar

# Of the red, white and blue

# This time, more than any other time, this time

# We're going to find a way

# Find a way to get away

# This time, getting it all together

# To win them all

# It's what we'll set out to do

# We have a dream

# We know you're sharing it too

# This time, more than any other time, this time,

# We're going to find a way

# Find a way to get away

# This time, getting it all together

# We'll get it right

# This time, get it right

# This time

# It makes you wonder

# It makes you proud

# To play for England

# And hear the crowd

# As we're marching

# On towards victory

# This time

# This time

# We're on our way

# We are Ron's 22

# Hear the roar

# Of the red, white and blue

# This time, more than any other time, this time

# We're going to find a way

# Find a way to get away

# This time, getting it all together

# We'll get it right

# This time, we'll get it right

# This time, we'll get it right

# This time. #

Lots of patriotism.

The England World Cup Squad scored a massive hit.

Let's hope they score lots of goals.

With We'll Get It Right This Time, England fly the flag.

She's got her fifth hit -

it is one Kim Wilde. It's her new single called View From A Bridge.

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# I guess it all began about a year ago

# Like a cheap love magazine

# You know the kind you read about

# And have to laugh

# At the pages in between

# Now I can't believe the fool inside is me

# Cos I just can't face the world

# I've grown to see

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# I saw you kissing her

# I saw you making her

# In the soft sheets in between

# But when you turned around

# I saw your eyes were fire

# And you crashed out all my dreams

# And like a fool I just stood there

# And let it go

# I should have fought right back

# And let my feelings show

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# You sure as hell knew how

# To make a fool out of me

# Well you cut me down

# For the things you want

# And now it's killing me

# I'll lay it on the line now

# You're running out of time now

# But then a voice said jump

# And I just let go

# And I'm floating out in space

# But then I feel your arms

# And I turn around

# To a ghost without a face

# And I just don't know

# What's fact or fantasy

# Cos when I look below the bridge

# I see it's me

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more

# View from a bridge, can't take any more. #

That's Kimmy Wilde and View From A Bridge.

That's her fifth hit. Quite a regular on Top Of The Pops.

It's Haircut 100.

They're at number 12 this week with Fantastic Day.

# Well, there's a great amount of strain

# About getting on that train

# Every day and every night

# The only thing that makes it good

# Is seeing my favourite sight

# Prance and flutter stride down that green escalator, yeah

# When I'm getting off my train

# And my love is on my brain

# Every day and every night

# The only thing that makes it right

# Is seeing my favourite sight

# Crying in the night with the summer in her eyes

# Tonight

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well I can find a funny feeling

# Funny as a smile

# When your mouth is all dry

# Why?

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day today

# Well, it's a fantastic day

# I know I've lost myself again

# True love has passed me by

# I tried to shave myself

# Be a happier guy

# Night and day

# I can see it in your eyes

# Now the summer never smiles

# On a happy honey day

# Am I being in the way?

# When I'm so in love with you

# I can't sit down and I cry in pain

# With night and day

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day today

# Well, it's a fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day. #

So much energy. That's Haircut 100 and Fantastic Day.

Let's clear up a few things.

First, they've had a hit in virtually every country

in the world. It's Jim who's the vocalist. He's a Scot.

It's Tony, who's a Brit. He's on keyboards.

The band are Ph.D.

I absolutely love this single. I Won't Let You Down.

# You ask me if I'm happy here

# No doubt about it

# You ask me if my love is clear

# Want me to shout it

# Gave you the best years of my life

# Woman

# I know I failed to treat you right

# Woman

# Don't let me out of here

# Don't let me out of here

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# You say our love is running one way

# Coming from your side

# No help from me to see it through

# To beat the high tide

# Take me and chain me if you please

# Woman

# Don't help me dig deeper my grave

# Woman

# Don't let me out of here

# Don't let me out of here

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again

# I won't let you down

# Won't let you down again. #

That is such a good single. Ph.D. and I Won't Let You Down.

It's a new entry at 34.

Let's get up to my right height to introduce the charts and the Top 30.

But we go back to this week's number 26 to hear a track from David Bowie.

It's called Cat People and to dance to it, here's Zoo.

# See these eyes so green

# I can stare for a thousand years

# Colder than the moon

# It's been so long

# And I've been putting out fire

# With gasoline

# See these eyes so red

# Red like jungle burning bright

# Those who feel me near

# Pull the blinds and change their minds

# It's been so long

# Still this pulsing night

# A plague I call a heartbeat

# Just be still with me

# You wouldn't believe what I've been through

# You've been so long

# Well, it's been so long

# I've been putting out the fire with gasoline

# Putting out the fire

# With gasoline. #

That was Zoo and David Bowie singing the title track

Good luck, Bardo. We'll see you next week for another Top Of The Pops.

# Are you the kind to put your heart on the line?

# Or one who stays out of reach?

# Cos unlike other guys I won't waste your time

# I just wanna practice what I preach

# Girl, love can be such a challenge

# A game where there can be two winners

# Unlike any sport

# It depends on the prize

# And knowing where the real thing lies

# To make a long story short

-# Baby, I can make you feel good

-(I can make you feel good)

# Let me lay this good love on you

-# Baby, I can make you feel good

-(I can make you feel good)

# You can say I really want you

# Oh, it's so good

# There's guys that offer you diamonds and pearls

# Those are the ones without the need

# Other guys say that they can give you the world

# But a world of love is what you'll get from me

# Girl, those material things

# Been born to me before the day I found you

# Now I truly believe

# All the money in the world

# Can't comfort you the way I wrap my arms around you

# And I'll always be there

-# Baby, I can make you feel good

-(I can make you feel good)

# Let me lay this good love on you... #
