22/07/1982 Top of the Pops

Hello and welcome to the party.

It's Studio 8 at Television Centre with a live Top Of The Pops.

A great 35 minutes and to kick us off The Belle Stars

and The Clapping Song.

# Three-six-nine The goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap pat, clap pat

# Clap pat, clap slap

# Clap pat, clap your hand, pat it on your partner's hand

# Right hand

# Clap pat, clap your hand, cross it with your left arm

# Pat your partner's left palm

# Clap pat, clap your hand, pat your partner's right palm

# With your right palm again

# Clap slap, clap your hand

# Slap your thigh and sing a little song, go

# My mama told me

# If I was goody

# That she would buy me

# A rubber dolly

# My auntie told her

# I kissed a soldier

# Now she won't buy me

# A rubber dolly

# Three-six-nine The goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap, clap Clap your hands and prepare to pat

# Clap, take your right arm

# Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm

# Clap, take your hand back and clap

# Clap, take your right arm, cross your right arm with your left arm

# Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm

# Clap, now back with a clap

# Slap, take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs

# And watch the fun materialize as you sing this little song

# My mama told me

# If I was goody

# That she would buy me

# A rubber dolly

# My auntie told her

# I kissed a soldier

# Now she won't buy me

# A rubber dolly

# Three-six-nine The goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap

# Clap, slap

# Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap

# Clap, slap

-# My mama told me

-Clap, clap, clap, clap

-# If I was goody

-Clap, clap, clap, clap

-# That she would buy me

-Clap, clap, clap, clap...

Belle Stars and The Clapping Song.

Here's one of the bands who were on live in front of Prince Charles at the rock extravaganza.

They did an amazing version of God Save The Queen on Yazoo... on kazoos even. Here's Madness.

# I've been driving in my car

# It's not quite a Jaguar

# I bought it in Primrose Hill

# From a bloke from Brazil

# It was made in '59

# In a factory by the Tyne

# It says Morris on the door The GPO owned it before

# I drive in it for my job The governor calls me a slob

# But I don't really care

# Give me some gas and the open air

# It's a bit old but it's mine I mend it in my spare time

# Just last week I changed the oil The rocker valves and the coil

# Just last week I changed the oil

# Last week it went round the clock I also had a little knock

# I dented somebody's fender He learned not to park on a bender

# Ha-ha-ha

# I've been driving in my car

# It don't look much but I've been far

# I drive up to Muswell Hill

# I've even been to Selsey Bill

# I drove along the A45

# I had her up to 58

# This copper stopped me the other day

# You're mistaken, what could I say

# The tyres were a little worn They were OK, I could have sworn

# I like driving in my car

# I'm satisfied I've got this far

BRASS INTERLUDE

# I like driving in my car

# It don't look much but I've been far

# I like driving in my car

# Even with a flat tyre

# I like driving in my car

# It's not quite a Jaguar

# I like driving in my car

# I'm satisfied I've got this far. #

APPLAUSE

OK, it's almost 7:50pm in Studio 8 and about time we left you

in the capable hands of Top Of The Pops' umpire.

# 15, love

# 30, love

# 30, 15

# 40, 15

MACHINEGUN FIRE

# Oh, you're the pits, man

# You're not fit to be called a human being

MACHINEGUN FIRE

# I was talking to myself. #

APPLAUSE

Here's an old friend of the charts and Top Of The Pops,

it's Junior with his new single called Too Late.

# When he comes home intoxicated from the club

# All the kids they go and snuggle up to mom

# He starts shoutin' again, and they start runnin' again

# This ain't no life for them to lead

# In her mind she knows she has to let him go

# In the children's eyes she sees the fear inside

# How does she tell him? He won't take nothin'

# This ain't no life for them to lead

# Well it's too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Ooh

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# In the morning when he wakes up from the couch

# Not recallin' what had happened the night before

# He starts askin' questions, he don't get no answers

# What the hell's goin' on in here?

# Well, it's too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# And it's my time to go

# I don't want to talk about it, I wanna take the kids and go

# Oh, no

# Ooh!

# When he comes home intoxicated from the club

# All the kids they go and snuggle up to mom

# He starts shoutin' again, and they start runnin' again

# This ain't no life for them to lead

# And now it's too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# I don't have to stay with you

# I can take the kids and go

# I can make it on my own

# So you think you got me now

# Well, I'm going to let you know

# I can make it on my own

# All these things she says to him

# He sits down and doesn't know

# What he is supposed to say

# He starts feeling deep inside that he's losing something strong

# And he does not know just what to do

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Bye-bye

# Now's my time to go... #

APPLAUSE

Junior singing live on Top Of The Pops and Too Late.

Remember Golden Brown by The Stranglers?

If you do, you know how they've changed their style -

and here they are with their new single, which is called Strange Little Girl.

# One day you see a strange little girl look at you

# One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue

# She'd run to the town one day

# Leaving home and her country fair

# Just beware

# When you're there

# Strange little girl

# She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough

# It didn't take long before she knew she'd had enough

# Walking home in her wrapped up world

# She survived but she's feeling old

# Cos she found

# All things cold

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Do you know where you could be going?

# Walking home in her wrapped up world

# She survived but she's feeling old

# Cos she found

# All things cold

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Do you know where you could be going?

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Strange little girl Where are you going?

# Do you know where you could be going? #

APPLAUSE

# And hold her close

# Ghosts are only lovers on the screen

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Irene Cara filmed on location in New York.

We'll see you next week on Top Of The Pops with Mike Read

and maybe a new number one. We leave you - because we've overrun again,

we'll be in trouble - with Kid Creole And The Coconuts

and Stool Pigeon.

Goodnight. Have a great night.

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# If you wanna squeal, said the FBI,

# We can make a deal, make it worth your while

# So he told it all and in return

# He got a credit card and a Thunderbird

# And the maximum security

# Even after plastic surgery

# So go on and squeal, said the FBI

# We can make a deal, make it worth your while

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# After all the talk then they wired him

# And he took a walk with his crooked friends

# And they joked about the good old days

# And he recorded it on a reel of tape

# He caught the mug who did the forgery

# And the babe in charge of larceny

# So the FBI they rewarded him

# Because they like a guy who will stab a friend

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha. #
