26/02/1981 Top of the Pops

Hello and welcome to another edition of Top Of The Pops.

You're very welcome to watch Ultravox, Roxy Music, Madness...

also, Quo to open up the show - and who better?

Something that I like about you, baby! Here's Status Quo!

# I see you every day

# Walking down the avenue

# I'd like to get to know you

# But all I do is smile at you

# Oh, baby, when it comes to talking

# My tongue gets so tied

# This sidewalk love affair

# Has got me high as a kite

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Well, I'm a slow walker

# But, girl, I'd race a mile for you

# Just to get back in time

# For my peek-a-boo rendezvous

# Well, baby, maybe it's the way

# You wear your blue jeans so tight

# I can't put my finger

# On what you're doing right

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Well, I'm standing on a corner

# Smiling by a telephone

# I'd like to check you over

# Get to know you with a fine-tooth comb

# Oh, baby, when I get home I turn out the light

# And then you come a-strolling through

# My dreams every night

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like

# Yeah, yeah, there's something 'bout you, baby, I like... #

CHEERING

There's something about you, Quo, that they like.

That's the highest new entry at 19

showing conclusively that they are still around.

Right, Status Quo at 19.

And this, at number six, is Jealous Guy, Roxy Music.

# I was dreaming of the past

# And my heart was beating fast

# I began to lose control

# I began to lose control

# I didn't mean to hurt you

# I'm sorry that I made you cry

# I didn't mean to hurt you

# I'm just a jealous guy

# I was feeling insecure

# You might not love me any more

# I was shivering inside

# I was shivering inside

# I didn't mean to hurt you

# I'm sorry that I made you cry

# I didn't want to hurt you

# I'm just a jealous guy

# I was trying to catch your eye

# Thought that you were trying to hide

# I was swallowing my pain

# I was swallowing my pain

# I didn't mean to hurt you

# I'm sorry that I made you cry

# I didn't mean to hurt you

# I'm just a jealous guy. #

APPLAUSE

'It's Ultravox, number two, with Vienna.'

# We walked in the cold air

# Freezing breath on a window pane

# Lying and waiting

# A man in the dark in a picture frame

# So mystic and soulful

# A voice reaching out in a piercing cry

# It stays with you until

# The feeling has gone Only you and I

# It means nothing to me

# This means nothing to me

# Oh, Vienna

# The music is weaving

# Haunting notes Pizzicato strings

# The rhythm is calling

# Alone in the night as the daylight brings

# A cool empty silence

# The warmth of your hand and a cold, grey sky

# It fades to the distance

# The image is gone Only you and I

# It means nothing to me

# This means nothing to me

# Oh, Vienna

# This means nothing to me

# This means nothing to me

# Oh, Vienna. #

You don't believe me? I did!

I've got on the tape recorder, some Italian applause.

Grazie, grazie, shaddap you face.

But that was a big hit. You want to learn the song, it's real simple.

See, I sing, "What's-a matter you?"

You sing, "Hey!"

Then I sing the rest, and at the end, we can all sing,

"Ah, shaddap you face!" Got it?
