26/01/78 Top of the Pops

It's time to check out the charts with this week's Top of the Pops.

MUSIC: "Love's Unkind" by Donna Summer

# Well I see him every morning in the school yard

# Before the school bell rings

# And when he passes in the hallway Well, he doesn't seem to notice me

# He's got a crush on my best friend

# But she don't care

# Cos she loves someone else

# I'm standing on the outside... #

APPLAUSE

This week's chart countdown was with Donna Summer at 29.

Here come The Rich Kids with Rich Kids.

# I'll tell you something

# I think that you should know

# There ain't much that I care for

# Oh, but even so

# The guys around me, they astound me

# They make things very clear

# So have those who stand in line

# I have no fear

# I'm talking 'bout rich kids

# That's too much for you

# They got so much feeling

# Something special to do

# As they're rich kids you had better

# Beware

# The thing with rich kids, you see, is

# They're all there

# So when you say you're a rich kid

# Well, look at you

# Oh, it's too much

# It's double rich, so true

# It stands to reason you don't make it

# You just got no idea

# You lied and tried and tried and lied

# Realise it come from here

# From the heart

GUITAR SOLO

# I'm talking 'bout rich kids

# Who got too much for you

# They got so much feeling

# Something special to do

# Because they're rich kids

# You had better beware

# The thing about rich kids

# They're all there

GUITAR SOLO

# Rich kids... #

APPLAUSE

And with a debut like that, rich kids they are bound to be.

It's great to see Althea & Donna doing so well.

APPLAUSE

All the way from Kingston, Jamaica,

to make their first appearance on Top of the Pops, Althea & Donna,

Uptown Top Ranking.

And now with strings and things, it's Gordon Giltrap's Heartsong.

That is the number 30 sound this week from Gordon Giltrap.

We've got a real good selection of sounds for you tonight and sights as well.

Here's both as Legs & Co move to the sounds of Bill Withers' Lovely Day.

# When I wake up in the morning, love

# And the sunlight hurts my eyes

# And something without warning, love

# Bears heavy on my mind

# Then I look at you

# And the world's all right with me

# Just one look at you

# And I know it's gonna be

# A lovely d-a-a-a-y (Lovely day, lovely, day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

# A lovely d-a-a-a-y (Lovely day, lovely, day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day)

# When the day that lies ahead of me

# Seems impossible to face

# When someone else instead of me

# Always seems to know the way

# Then I look at you

# And the world's all right with me

# Just one look at you

# And I know it's gonna be

# A lovely d-a-a-a-y (Lovely day, lovely, day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

# A lovely d-a-a-a-y (Lovely day, lovely, day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

# (Lovely day)... #

Incredibly, the man who first brought

The Floral Dance to our attention is now having success with it himself.

At 21 this week, it's Terry Wogan.

# I thought I could hear the curious tone

# Of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone

# Fiddle, cello, big bass drum

# Bassoon, flute and euphonium

# Each one making the most of its chance

# All together in the Floral Dance

# As I walked home on a summer night

# The stars in heaven were shining bright

# Far away from the footlights' glare

# Into the sweet and scented air of a quaint old Cornish town

# Borne from afar on a gentle breeze

# Joining the murmur of summer seas

# Distant tones of an old-world dance

# Played by the village band perchance

# On the calm air came floating down

# I thought I could hear the curious tone

# Of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone

# Fiddle, cello, big bass drum

# Bassoon, flute and euphonium

# Each one making the most of its chance

# All together in the Floral Dance

# All together in the Floral Dance

# And soon I saw such a bustling and prancing

# Then I saw the whole village was dancing

# In and out of the houses they came

# Old folk, young folk, all the same

# In that quaint old Cornish town

# Every boy took a girl 'round the waist

# And hurried her off in tremendous haste

# Whether they knew one another I care not

# Whether they cared at all I know not

# But they kissed as they danced along

# And there was the band with that curious tone

# Of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone

# Fiddle, cello, big bass drum

# Bassoon, flute and euphonium

# Each one making the most of its chance

# All together in the Floral Dance

# All together in the Floral Dance

# Dancing here, prancing there

# Jigging, jogging, everywhere

# Up and down and round the town

# Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance. #

APPLAUSE

And you thought flower power was done, eh?

The fact we have The Wailers after Terry is purely by coincidence.

Here's Bob Marley and his band.

They're not really wailing, anyway. In fact, they're Jamming.

All right.

# We're jammin'

# See, I wanna jam it with you

# We're jammin', jammin'

# And I hope you like jammin' too

# Ain't no rules, ain't no vow We can do it anyhow

# I'n'I will see you though

# Cos every day we pay the price with a little sacrifice

# Jammin' till the jam is through

# Oh, yeah, we're jammin'

# To think that jammin' was a thing of our past

# We're jammin', jammin'

# And I hope this jam is gonna last

# No bullet can stop us now We neither beg nor we won't bow

# Neither can be bought nor sold

# We all defend the right Jah children must unite

# Life is worth much more than gold

# We're jammin'

# See, jammin' in the name of our Lord

# Oh, yeah, we're jammin'

# We're jammin'

# And we're jammin' right straight from Yah

# Singin'

# Holy Mount Zion

# Holy Mount Zion

# Jah sitteth in Mount Zion

# And rules of creation

# Yeah, we're jammin'

# I want to say that you're jammin'

# I wanna jam it with you

# We're jammin', we're jammin'

# I hope you like jammin' too

# Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide

# To keep you satisfied

# True love that now exists is the love I can't resist

# So jam by my side

# We're jammin'

# I wanna jam it with you

# We're jammin', we're jammin'

# And I hope you like jammin' too

# We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin'

# We're jammin', we're jammin'

# I want to jam it with you... #

APPLAUSE

That was Bob Marley & The Wailers in concert.

Here's a bunch of guys that should be barking their way up the charts soon.

It's Yellow Dog.

MUSIC: "Just One More Night" by Yellow Dog

# In the Flamingo Club on the South-East side

# Sits Rodriguez and his brand-new bride

# And they spent two minutes down by the riverside

# They started when she lost her man

# He ran off with the blonde in the black sedan

# But she, she got no place to stay

# He heard her sweet voice say

# Yay-yay-yeah

# Ah, one more night, just one more night

# Could I please stay just one more night?

# I'll be leaving in the morning if that's all right

# Could I stay, could I please stay?

# Could I, could I, could I please stay one more night?

# When the morning came and she made a breakfast

# She left his house and she left his address

# She liked the way he made love to her

# Could she stay a little bit longer?

# Till she found a better job

# Cos she got no place to stay

# He heard her sweet voice say

# Yay-yay-yay, yeah

# One more night, just one more night

# Could I please stay just one more night?

# I'll be leaving in the morning if that's all right

# Could I stay, could I please stay?

# Could I, could I, could I please stay

# One more night? #

SAXOPHONE AND GUITAR SOLOS

# And the next week came and the week after that

# She moved her parrot and her... her tabby cat

# The Persian carpet and the welcome mat

# Could he please lend her a fiver

# For the brother, the sweet skin diver?

# See, she got no place to stay

# He heard her sweet voice say

# Yay-yay-yay-yeah

# One more night, just one more night

# Could I please stay just one more night?

# I'll be leaving in the morning if that's OK

# Could I stay, could I please stay?

# Could I, 'scuse, ah, please just stay just one more night?

# Let me, let me, let me stay

# Squeeze, ah, please, ah, let me stay

# Just one more, one more night

# Could I stay, could I please stay?

# I'll wash up the dishes

# Let me, let me, let me stay

# I'll make up the bed, yeah

# Please, won't you let me stay?

# I'll take out the garbage

# Please

-# No! #

-DOOR SHUTS

PHONE RINGS

# 'Could I stay, could I please stay?

# 'I'll do all the shopping

# I'll do all the mopping...' #

Those guys are really nuts.

Yellow Dog, and from some loonies to some lovelies.

Here comes Baccara, Sorry I'm A Lady.

Oi, here comes that man again

Something in the way he moves

Makes me sorry

I am a lady

# Hello, stranger, you're a danger to the law and order here

# They don't like men like you in our city

# You're too pretty, cool and witty, you are real bad company

# I should have stayed away from you today

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# I would rather be, rather be

# Just a little shady, just a little shady, naughty dynamite, dynamite

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# Have you got a light, got a light for me tonight?

# I need power, I need passion Give me more than sympathy

# I got a lot to learn before tomorrow

# Like a flower wants a shower

# I want you to make me bloom

# Those gentlemen in grey could hear me say

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# I would rather be, rather be

# Just a little shady

# Just a little shady, naughty dynamite, dynamite

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# Have you got a light, got a light for me tonight?

# You're a winner, I'm a sinner No excuse, no alibi

# Temptation's won the game and you are to blame

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# I would rather be, rather be

# Just a little shady

# Just a little shady, naughty dynamite, dynamite

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# Have you got a light, got a light for me tonight?

# Sorry I'm a lady, sorry I'm a lady

# I would rather be, rather be

# Just a little shady

# Just a little shady... #

APPLAUSE

I'm sure that'll be a big hit with the holidaymakers, Baccara and Sorry I'm A Lady.

It's always a pleasure to have Gallagher & Lyle on the programme,

and here they are with their new single, Showdown. Oh, we're having a happy time tonight!

# Listen to me, babe

# Let me have my say

# I know you, there's something wrong

# Don't act so hurt and hard

# And far away

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# You know what's best for us and though it really hurts

# Just like a poison, had to come out

# And in the end, there's nothing beats a good old heart-to-heart

# And I'll be for a showdown

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# But if that's the way you want it

# If that's the way you want it

# Then I'll take a trip

# I'll just pack my grip

# And in the morning I'll just slip away

# Showdown

# Showdown

# Now it's all been said, we've done our crying

# You're still here and so am I

# Let's try again, this time with no lying

# Come on, you can't leave me now

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# So we're in a showdown

# OK, so we're in a showdown

# But if that's the way you want it

# If that's the way you want it

# Then I'll leave you now

# Though I don't see how

# I can't go when I know I want to stay... #

GUITAR SOLO

APPLAUSE

Indeed, a showdown to the number-one sound,

and what can I say about this week's number one

that hasn't been said for the last seven weeks?

It is, of course, still Wings, up there in their Mull Of Kintyre.

# Mull of Kintyre

# Oh, mist rolling in from the sea

# My desire

# Is always to be here

# Oh, Mull of Kintyre

# Far have I travelled

# And much have I seen

# Dark, distant mountains with valleys of green

# Past painted deserts, the sunset's on fire

# As he carries me home to

# The Mull of Kintyre

# Mull of Kintyre

# Oh, mist rolling in from the sea

# My desire

# Is always to be here

# Oh, Mull of Kintyre... #

BAGPIPES PLAY

# Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen

# Carry me back to the days I knew then

# Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir

# Of the life and the times of

# The Mull of Kintyre... #

APPLAUSE

I wonder if they'll still be walking along that field next week.

To find out, tune in.

From all of us here at Top of the Pops,

have a lovely week.

It's goodnight and good luck. Goodbye!

MUSIC: "On Fire" by T-Connection

# Getting higher

# You're on fire

# You got to dance

# Getting higher

# Folks will be shaking

# All night long, yeah
