Ah, there you go, ladies and gentlemen.

A brand-new entry this week, at 26.

It's Brendon with a Jimmy "Bo" Horne number, entitled Gimme Some.

We'll give you some of the best music around.

Right now, a lady who's been singing for a long, long time,

and she has a hit record on her hands with this one.

It is the lovely Elkie Brooks and Pearl's A Singer.

# Pearl's a singer

# She stands up when she plays the piano

# In a nightclub

# Pearl's a singer

# She sings song for the lost and the lonely

# Her job is entertaining folks

# Singing songs and telling jokes

# In a nightclub

# Pearl's a singer

# And they say that she once was a winner

# In a contest

# Pearl's a singer

# And they say that she once

# Cut a record

# They played it for a week or so

# On the local radio

# It never made it

# She wanted to be Betty Grable

# But now she sits there

# At that beer-stained table

# Dreaming of the things she never got to do

# All those dreams that never came true

# Pearl's a singer

# She stands up when she plays the piano

# In a nightclub

# Pearl's a singer

# She sings songs for the lost and the lonely

# Her job is entertaining folks

# Singing songs and telling jokes

# In a nightclub

# Pearl's a singer

# She stands up

# When she plays the piano

# In a nightclub

# Pearl's a singer

# Oooh

# She sings songs for the lost

# And the lonely

# Her job is entertaining folks

# Singing songs and telling jo-o-o-okes

# In a nightclub. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Elkie Brooks.

Right now, we have Brotherhood Of Man and Oh, Boy, The Mood I'm In.

# It's so warm in here

# Outside the night is clear

# I need a walk

# Have myself a little talk

# Sleep, baby slee-eep

# While your mama walks the streets to find

# Your daddy, boy

# Oh boy The mood I'm in

# The pain I feel in missin' him

# Oh boy

Oh boy

# I can't explain

# He haunts my mind and racks my brain

# I could comb every home every neighbourhood bar

# I could ride every greyhound and railroad car

# Just to find him and say, wherever you are

# Come on home, we love you

# Boy Oh boy

# Boy Oh boy

# Oh boy

# Oh boy

# Weep, I walk and weep

# Through the downtown streets I wander sadly

# Boy

Oh boy

# The mood I'm in

# The pain I feel in missin' him

# Oh, boy

Oh boy

# I can't explain

# He haunts my mind and racks my brain

# I could comb every home every neighbourhood bar

# I could ride every greyhound or railroad car

# Just to find him and say, wherever you are

# Come on home, we love you

# Boy

Oh boy

# The mood I'm in

# The pain I feel in missin' him

# Oh boy

Oh boy

# I can't explain

# He haunts my mind and racks my brain... #

APPLAUSE

Beautiful stuff. The Brotherhood Of Man, number 13 sound this week.

Oh Boy, The Mood I'm In. Probably a lot of you watching at home this evening

will be expecting to see David Soul.

Unfortunately he's rushed back to the States and we haven't got him this week.

But of course we'll be trying very hard to get him for you in the near future.

Meanwhile, a superb sound from Graham Parker and The Rumour,

Hold Back The Night.

# Hold back the night Turn on the light

# Don't want to dream about you, baby

# Hold back the night Turn on the light

-# Don't want to dream about you

-Dream about you, baby

# When you left you took the sun right out of my sky

# Yes, you did

# Wonder why you went away

# And never told me why

# When the sun go down The moon is near

# I'm scared to death Cos your face appear

# Hold back the night Turn on the light

-# Don't want to dream about you

-Dream about you, baby

# Hold back the night Turn on the light

-# Don't want to dream about you

-Dream about you, baby

# Hold back the night Turn on the light

Hold Back The Night, Graham Parker and The Rumour.

We now have Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr with David Hamilton's

theme tune, You Don't Have To Be A Star To Be In My Show.

# Baby, come as you are

# With just your heart And I'll take you in

# You're rejected and hurt

# To me you're worth what you have within

# I don't need no superstar

# Cos I'll accept you as you are

# To be in my show

# Somebody nobody knows

# Could steal the tune that you want to hear

# So stop your running around

# Cos now you've found what was cloudy is clear, oh, honey

# There'll be no cheering from the crowds

# Just two hearts beating out loud

# There'll be no parades No TV or stage

# Only me till your dying day

# You don't have to be a star, baby

# To be in my show

# You don't have to be a star, baby

# To be in my, my, my, my show

# You don't have to be a

# You don't have to be a

# You don't have to be a star

# You don't have to be a star

# You don't have to be a star

# Don't think your star has to shine

# What is a beauty queen

# If it don't mean I'm your number one?

# I don't need no superstar

# Cos I'll accept you as you are

# You won't be denied

# Well, you damaged the soul of my suit

# You pulled my love out by the roots

APPLAUSE

The sounds from T-Rex there. Ladies and gentlemen,

you will notice that with me I have two sparkling personalities.

They are the Captain and Tennille who've nipped in to say hello to Top Of The Pops.

The captain is Daryl. Daryl, hi.

-Hi.

-You are here on holiday, I believe.

Yes, looking for a few captain's hats also.

You're shopping around as the record says.

I know you've got this magnificent record out, which is going to be a big hit.

And Tennille, who happens to be Toni Tennille. The missus?

Yes, that's right, the captain's missus.

Let me tell you, it says here, "Love will keep us together."

How long have you been together?

Since 1971.

That's a long time and we hope that with the good sounds you have,

you'll be together a long time. Captain and Tennille, thanks for popping in.

It leaves us time to play the big number one at the moment.

As you all well know,

it's that magnificent piece of music called Chanson D'Amour.

# Chanson d'amour

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Play encore

# Here in my heart

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# More and more

# Chanson d'amour

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Je t'adore

# Each time I hear

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Chanson, chanson, d'amour... #

Play it, boys.

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Chanson d'amour

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Je t'adore

# Each time I hear

# Ra-da-da-da-da

# Chanson, chanson, d'amour

# Every time I hear

# Chanson, chanson, d'amour. #

APPLAUSE

If you're wondering why I'm on my knees at Top Of The Pops,

it's because a berserk cameraman has attacked me,

but I'll be back in a few weeks.

Don't forget next week, we've got another edition of Top Of The Pops.

Until then, bye-bye!
