22/07/76 Top of the Pops

Good evening and welcome to another edition of Top Of The Pops.

# Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

# Little darling, it feels like years since it's been clear

# Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo

# Here comes the sun and I say it's all right

# Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

# Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

# Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo

# Here comes the sun and I say it's all right

# Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

# Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

# Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

# Little darling, it seems like ice is slowly melting

# Little darling, it feels like years since it's been clear

# Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo

# Here comes the sun, and I say it's all right

# It's all right

# It's all right

# It's all right

# It's all right

# Here comes the sun

# Here comes the sun Here comes the sun

# Here comes the sun. #

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel starting off another

exciting edition of Top Of The Pops with a George Harrison song called Here Comes The Sun.

Well, we have a song which has made a break into the charts, in fact a new entry

at number 25 for you right now,

and it's all about something that we do first thing in the morning.

Well, for me personally, second thing in the morning.

Jeans On and David Dundas.

# When I wake up

# In the morning light

# I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

# I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on

# I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on

# It's the weekend And I know that you're free

# So pull on your jeans And come on out with me

# I need to have you near me I need to feel you close to me

# I need to have you near me I need to feel you close to me

# You and me, we'll go motorbike riding

# In the sun and the wind and the rain

# I got money in my pocket Got a tiger in my tank

# And I'm king of the road again

# I'll meet you in the usual place

# I don't need a thing Except your pretty face

# And I need to have you near me I need to feel you close to me

# I need to have you near me I need to feel you close to me

# I need to have you near me I need to feel you close to me

# You and me, we'll go motorbike riding

# In the sun and the wind and the rain

# I got money in my pocket Got a tiger in my tank

# And I'm king of the road again

# When I wake up In the morning light

# I pull on my jeans And I feel all right

# I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on

# I pull my blue jeans on I pull my old blue jeans on. #

Right now, a Harvest For The World is being had by the Isley Brothers.

Not only have we got a harvest, we've got a feast for you.

All expense spared on the costumes, it's Ruby Flipper.

# All babies together

# Everyone a seed

# Half of us are satisfied

# Half of us in need

# Love's bountiful in us

# Tarnished by our greed

# Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Hey

# A nation planted

# So concerned with gain

# As the seasons come and go

# Greater grows the pain

# And far too many

# Feelin' the strain

# Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?

# Yeah, yeah

# Gather every man

# Gather every woman

# Celebrate your lives

# Give thanks for your children

-# Gather everyone

-Gather everyone

-# Gather all together

-Gather all together

-# Overlookin' none

-Overlookin' none

# Hopin' life gets better for the world

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Oh

# Dress me up for battle When all I want is peace

# Those of us who pay the price Come home with the least

# And nation after nation Turnin' into beasts

# Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world?

# Yeah, hey

# When will there be a harvest? When will there be a harvest? #

I don't know if I can do anything after that last number.

Ruby Flipper, wasn't that fantastic?

Right now, ladies and gentlemen, a change in tempo.

The drums is beating, everybody's going crazy

because it is the new sound from Johnny Wakelin and the Kinshasa Band called, In Zaire.

# Once there was a battle there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# Hundred thousand people there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# All those people gathered there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# To see the rumble in the jungle there-ere-ere

# In Zaire

# There came a man called Elijah, in Zaire, in Zaire

# With him came the superstar, in Zaire, in Zaire

# All those people came from far, in Zaire, in Zaire

# To see the rumble in the jungle there-ere-ere

# In Zaire

# And who was the victor in the night?

# Elijah Mohammed's boy

# Ali won the fi-i-ight

# All those people chanted there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# Seven rounds of torture there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# One more round and Ali's there, in Zaire, in Zaire

# There was great excitement everywhere-ere-ere

# In Zaire

# The lightning struck twice in the night

# First in the ring and then after the fi-i-ight

# In Zaire, in Zaire

# In Zaire, in Zaire

# In Zaire, in Zaire

# In Zaire, in Zaire

# In Zaire, in Zaire. #

-APPLAUSE

-Well, wasn't that too much? But what about that Johnny Wakelin's jacket?

He looks like an explosion in a paint factory.

It's gonna be a hit sound though. So is this next one, it really is fantastic.

Unfortunately the man has to be struck off the medical register. Dr Kiss Kiss and 5000 Volts!

# Doctor

# Doctor Kiss Kiss

# Stop that voodoo spell you're layin' on me

# Help me

# Doctor Kiss Kiss

# You'll make an evil woman out of me

# Just put away your demon potion

# Cos you're playing with my emo-o-otion

# Doctor

# Doctor Kiss Kiss

You're changing me

# Mama, I'm Doctor Kiss Kiss

# I'm gonna weave my lovin' spell on you

# Da-da, it's Doctor Kiss Kiss

# And you're gonna fell my vibe through and through

# Just put away your demon potion

# Cos you're playing with my emo-o-otion

# Gotcha in my power

# I'm taking you

# Why pick on me?

# Cos I ain't free

# Don't know your name

# But I know what you need, you dirty dog

# You'll sow the seed

# And hope some little girl will play your game

# Owww!

# Doctor, Doctor Kiss Kiss

# Doctor

# Doctor Kiss Kiss

# I know you're trying to hypnotise

# And you're trying to scandalise my mind

# Doctor

# Doctor Kiss Kiss

# You're changing me

# Mama, I'm Doctor Kiss Kiss

# I'm gonna put my lovin' spell on you

# Da-da, it's Doctor Kiss Kiss

# I'll make an evil woman out of you. #

5000 Volts for you there and a beautiful, beautiful song called Doctor Kiss Kiss.

I'm jealous about this next gentleman because he's

got a bigger Cadillac than I do, and he got it one piece at a time.

It's Johnny Cash!

# Well, I left Kentucky back in '49

# And went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line

# The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs

# Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by

# And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry

# Cos I always wanted me one that was long and black

# One day I devised myself a plan

# That should be the envy of most any man

# I'd sneak it out of there in the lunchbox in my hand

# Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired

# But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired

# I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand

# I'd get it one piece at a time

# And it wouldn't cost me a dime

# You'll know it's me when I come through your town

# I'm gonna ride around in style

# I'm gonna drive everybody wild

# Cos I'll have the only one there is around

# Well the very next day when I checked in

# With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends

# I left that day with a lunch box full of gears

# Well, I never considered myself a thief

# But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece

# Especially if I strung it out over several years

# The first day I got me a fuel pump

# The next day I got me an engine and a trunk

# Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome

# The little things I could get in my big lunchbox

# Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks

# But the big stuff I snuck out in my buddy's mobile home

# Well, up to now my plan went all right

# Till we tried to put it all together one night

# And that's when I discovered that something was definitely wrong

# The transmission was a '53

# And the motor turned out to be a '73

# And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone

# So we drilled it out so that it would fit

# And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit

# We had that engine runnin' just like a song

# Now the headlight was another sight

# We had two on the left and one on the right

# But when we turned out the switch all three of 'em come on

# The back end looked kinda funny too

# But we put it together and when we got through

# Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin

# About that time my wife walked out

# And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts

# But she opened the door and said, "Honey, take me for a spin."

# So we went up town just to get the tags

# And I headed her right on down main drag

# You could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around

# But up there at the court house they didn't laugh

# Cos to type it up it took the whole staff

# And when they got through the title weighed 60 pounds

# I got it one piece at a time

# And it didn't cost me a dime

# You'll know it's me when I come through your town

# I'm gonna ride around in style

# I'm gonna drive everybody wild

# Cos I'll have the only one there is around. #

Oh!

Yow, Red Rider, this is the cotton mouth in the psycho-billy Cadillac, come on.

Huh, and negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there, Red Rider.

You might say I went right up to the factory there and picked it up, it's cheaper that way.

Ugh, what model is it?

# Well, it's a '49, '50,

# '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58, '59 automobile... #

APPLAUSE

That was Johnny Cash for you there and One Piece At A Time.

If he wants an extra piece for his car, he can have the exhaust

that dropped off mine last Sunday in Amersham. Sorry about that, Amersham Council!

It is time now to change completely because we've got a piece of music you're going to enjoy.

It's an old classic. It's been brought up to date, certainly a different treatment.

It's called Oh Susanna. Just sit back and relax and watch the group known as 1776.

# I come from Alabama

# With my guitar on my knee

# I'm bound for Louisiana

# My true love for to see

# It did rain all night, the day I left

# The weather was bone dry

# The sun was so hot, I froze myself

# Susanna, don't you go on and cry

# Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me

# As I come from Alabama

# With my guitar on my knee

# Well I had myself a dream the other night

# When everything was still

# I dreamed that I saw my girl Susanna

# She was a-coming down the hill

# When buckwheat cake was in her mouth

# The tear was in her eyes

# Says I, I'm coming from a sweet, sweet land

# Susanna, don't you break down and cry

# Said, oh, Susanna

# Oh, don't you cry for me

# As I come from Alabama

# With my guitar on my knee

# Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me

# As I come from Alabama

# With my guitar on my knee

# Oh, Susanna, no, no, no!

# Don't you cry, don't you cry for me

# As I come from Alabama

# With my guitar on my knee. #

Oh, absolutely immaculate. 1776, Oh Susanna.

You can't really follow that, can you? Good night.

No, I'm only kidding. Actually it's time for the number one sound, and,

believe it or not, it is the very first time that in Great Britain Elton John has been at number one.

Together with Kiki Dee and Don't Go Breaking My Heart.

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I couldn't if I tried

-# Honey, if I get restless

-Baby, you're not that kind

# Don't go breaking my heart

# You take the weight off me

# Honey, when you knock on my door

# I gave you my key

# Ooh! Nobody knows it

# When I was down

# I was your clown

# Ooh! Nobody knows it

# Nobody knows

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Oh, I gave you my heart

# So don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# And nobody told us

# Cos nobody showed us

# And now it's up to us, babe

# Oh, I think we can make it

# So don't misunderstand me

# You put the light in my life

# You put the sparks to the flame

# I've got your heart in my sights

# Ooh! Nobody knows it

-# But when I was down

-I was your clown

# Ooh! Nobody knows it

# Nobody knows

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Oh, I gave you my heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

Don't go breaking my heart

# Ooh! Nobody knows it

-# When I was down

-I was your clown

-# Right from the start

-I gave you my heart

# Oh! I gave you my heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

# Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my

# Don't go breaking my heart

# Don't go breaking my Don't go breaking my

# I won't go breaking your heart. #

-APPLAUSE

-Had to be there. After three weeks in the charts it's number one.

Don't Go Breakin' My Heart, Elton John and Kiki Dee.

Unfortunately I'm going to break your heart - it's time to go.

But on behalf of Phil, Brian, and the rest of the maniacs that work here on Top Of The Pops,

from myself DLT, join us next week for another edition of Top Of The Pops. Bye bye, take care.
