They always say it, welcome to Top Of The Pops.

And tonight, it's just the same as ever.

Great music tonight,

starting off with a brand-new hit for The Vapors.

It's called Jimmie Jones.

# Do you want to feel good Do you want to feel anything?

# Do you wanna keep searching cos there's no other reason?

# Do you wanna feel small? Do you wanna fight back?

# Do you wanna a new soul to stop your heart attack?

# Do you wanna take a walk? Then come into the garden with me

# Jimmie Jones, Jimmie Jones

# They tell me Jimmie's seen a sign Says he understands everything

# They tell me Jimmie's got a line to the man from the ministry

# But Jimmie's on sale He's got a mouth to feed

# He's got a mission in life A thousand lives to lead

# Do you wanna take his hand and come into the garden with me?

# Jimmie Jones, Jimmie Jones

# Jimmie's got a place for me

# Little Jimmie's in the dark

# Between the devil and the deep blue sea

# Jimmie's got a place for me

# So we've all gotta change clothes and we've all gotta change sides

# We gotta love you Leave you miles behind

# But if you wanna take a walk then come into the garden with me

# Wonderful, beautiful Saleable, cynical

# Heaven is the space between your eyes

# Where you disguise your little lives

# Jimmie Jones, Jimmie Jones

# Jimmie Jones, Jimmie Jones Jones, Jones

# And his soul, soul clones Jimmie Jones

Whoo-hoo! Jimmie Jones, The Vapors. A great live band.

OK, we've got a great bit of film now for people who like James Bond

and also have a little spot in their heart for a Sheena Easton.

For the first time on British television, For Your Eyes Only.

# For your eyes only can see me through the night

# For your eyes only I never need to hide

# You can see so much in me So much in me that's new

# I never felt until I looked at you

# For your eyes only, only for you

# You'll see what no-one else can see and now I'm breaking free

# For your eyes only, only for you

# The love I know you need in me The fantasy you've freed in me

# Only for you

# Only for you

# For your eyes only The nights are never cold

# You really know me That's all I need to know

# Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine

# But you won't need to read between the lines

# For your eyes only, only for you

# You'll see what no-one else can see and now I'm breaking free

# For your eyes only, only for you

# The passions that collide in me... #

APPLAUSE

Sheena Easton, For Your Eyes Only at number 16.

At number 22, it's Shakin' Stevens and a new version of the Green Door.

Here's Shaky.

# Midnight

# One more night without sleepin'

# Watchin'

# Till that morning comes creepin'

# Green door

# What's that secret you're keepin'?

# There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door

# Green door!

# Don't know what they're doin'

# But they laugh a lot behind the green door

# Ooh, green door

# Wish they'd let me in so I could find out

# What's behind the green door

# Green door

# Knocked once

# Tried to tell 'em I'd been there

# Door slammed

# Hospitality's thin there

# Wondering just what's goin' on in there

# Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud

-# Behind the green door

-Green door

# When I said Joe sent me

# Someone laughed out loud behind the green door

# Ooh, green door

# All I want to do is join the happy crowd

# Behind the green door

# Green door

# Midnight

# One more night without sleepin'

# Watchin'

# Till that morning comes creepin'

# Green door

# What's that secret you're keepin'?

# There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door

# Green door

# Don't know what they're doin'

# But they laugh a lot behind the green door

# Green door

# Wish they'd let me in so I could find out

-# What's behind the green door

-Green door

# Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud

-# Behind the green door

-Green door

# When I said Joe sent me

# Someone laughed out loud behind the green door... #

Oh, boy.

Shakin' Stevens and Green Door doing well in the charts at the moment.

Also doing well in the charts not only here but in America,

a band called REO Speedwagon.

And they just want to take it away now.

# You're thinking up your white lies You're putting on your bedroom eyes

# You say you're coming home but you won't say when

# But I can feel it coming

# If you leave tonight, keep running

# And you need never look back again

# You take it on the run, baby

# If that's the way you want it, baby

# Then I don't want you around

# I don't believe it

# Not for a minute

# You're under the gun so you take it on the run

# You take it on the run, baby

# If that's the way you want it, baby

# Then I don't want you around

# I don't believe it

# Not for a minute

# You're under the gun so you take it on the run

# You take it on the run, baby

# If that's the way you want it, baby

# Then I don't want you around

# I don't believe it

# Not for a minute

# You're under the gun so you take it on the run

# Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who

# Heard it from another you been messin' around. #

That was Take It On The Run with REO Speedwagon.

OK, Legs & Co fans, now is your time

as the ladies do a very nice number to ABBA

and Lay All Your Love On Me.

# I wasn't jealous before we met

# Now every woman I see is a potential threat

# And I'm possessive, it isn't nice

# You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

# But now it isn't true

# Now everything is new

# And all I've learned has overturned, I beg of you

# Don't go wasting your emotion

# Lay all your love on me

# It was like shooting a sitting duck

# A little small talk, a smile and baby, I was stuck

# I still don't know what you've done with me

# A grown-up woman should never fall so easily

# I feel a kind of fear

# When I don't have you near

# Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

# I beg you, dear

# Don't go wasting your emotion

# Lay all your love on me

# Don't go sharing your devotion

# Lay all your love on me

# I've had a few little love affairs

# They didn't last very long

# And they've been... #

The music of ABBA, Lay All Your Love On Me.
