Hello, millions of humble admirers

and welcome to another Top Of The Pops.

We've got a lot of treats for you, one rather a special treat.

David Christie doesn't sound like a very French name,

but French he is, here he is at number nine.

Um... Tres bon, mon brave.

You need O-levels for this job, you know, it's not easy,

that's David Christie and now it's time for the Fat Larry's Band.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom

# Suddenly and we were on the moon

# Flyin' high in a neon sky Oh-oh

# Bang, just one touch and all the church bells rang

# Heaven called and all the angels sang

# Sunrise shine in a midnight sky

# Oh-oh-oh

# Zoom, you chased the day away

# High noon, the moon and stars came out to play

# And then my whole wide world went zoom

# Moonbeams dancin' in the afternoon

# Shadows blowin' as the roses bloom

# Lookin' down on a wonderland

# Oh-oh-oh

# Smack, just one kiss and I was outta whack

# All at once there was no turnin' back

# Oh so far above the brighter star

# Oh-oh-oh

# Zoom

# We chased the day away

# High noon, the moon and stars came out to play

# Zoom, you chased the day away

# High noon, the moon and stars came out to play

# And then my whole world went zoom

# I touched a rainbow

# As we went flyin' by

# Faster and faster we were higher than high

# For once in my lifetime I was finally free

# And you gave that to me. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# I've told myself so many times before

# But this time I think I mean it for sure

# We have reached a full stop

# Nothing's going to save us

# From the big drop

# Reached our natural conclusion

# Outlived the illusion

# I hate being in these situations

# That call for diplomatic relations

# If I only knew the answer

# Or I thought we had a chance

# Or I could stop this

# I would stop this thing

# From spreading like a cancer

# What can I say?

-# I don't want to play

-Any more

# What can I say?

# I'm heading for the door

# I can't stand this emotional violence

# Leave in silence

# Leave in silence

# We've been running around in circles all year

# Doing this and that and getting nowhere

# This will be the last time

# I think I said that last time

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

# If I only had a potion

# Some magical lotion

# That could stop this

# I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion

# What can I say?

-# I don't want to play

-Any more. #

CHEERING

That's a Mighty Diamonds tune for Musical Youth

who recorded a session for our BBC Radio 1 programme

about two years ago.

That was when they were young, though, of course.

Now, our second Brian Clough lookalike

for the first time on Top Of The Pops,

it's Culture Club.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Give me time

# To realise my crime

# Let me love and steal

# I have danced

# Inside your eyes

# How can I be real?

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry?

# Precious kisses Words that burn me

# Lovers never ask you why

# In my heart the fire's burning

# Choose my colour

# Find a star

# Precious people always tell me

# That's a step

# A step too far

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry?

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry?

# Words are few I have spoken

# I could waste a thousand years

# Wrapped in sorrow words are token

# Come inside and catch my tears

# You've been talking, but believe me

# If it's true you do not know

# This boy loves without a reason

# I'm prepared to let you go

# If it's love you want from me

# Then take it away

# Everything's not what you see

# It's over again

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry?

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry?

# Do you really want to hurt me?

# Do you really want to make me cry? #
