# Fly so high I'm doing my thing

# But I come down When you pull my string

# Woh-oh-oh

APPLAUSE

Fantastic. The Brothers. That's a number called Sing Me.

And they are real, live brothers, from Mauritius.

They've been here 14 years now.

Talking about singing things, here's a lovely song

David Parton's going to sing for us.

It's number four, it's called Isn't She Lovely?

# Isn't she lovely?

# Isn't she wonderful?

# Isn't she precious?

# Less than one minute old

# I never thought Through love we'd be

# Making one as lovely as she

# Isn't she lovely? Made from love

# Isn't she precious?

# Truly the angels' best

# Boy, I'm so happy

# We have been heaven blessed

# I can't believe what God has done

# Through us he's given life to one

# Isn't she lovely? Made from love... #

# Isn't she lovely?

# Life and love are the same

# Life is Aisha

# The meaning of her name

# Londie, it could have not been done

# Without you who conceived the one

# That's so very lovely Made from love

# Isn't she lovely?

# Isn't she wonderful?

# Isn't she precious?

# Less than one minute old

# I can't believe what God has done

# Through us he's given life to one

# Isn't she lovely? Made from love. #

APPLAUSE

Wasn't that fabulous?

That's the number four sound, from David Parton.

And it's called Isn't She Absolutely Lovely?

I tip that one to go right the way to the number one sound.

Could well do it. Talking about lovely things,

we've six lovely ladies for you, Legs & Co,

to dance to the Eagles, and New Kid In Town.

# There's talk on the street It sounds so familiar

# Great expectations Everybody's watching you

# People you meet They all seem to know you

# Even your old friends Treat you like you're something new

# Johnny Come Lately

# The new kid in town

# Everybody loves you

# So don't let them down

# You look in her eyes The music begins to play

# Hopeless romantics Here we go again

# But after a while you're looking the other way

# It's those restless hearts that never mend

# Johnny Come Lately

# The new kid in town

# Will she still love you

# When you're not around? #

APPLAUSE

That's the sound, there, of The Eagles,

and a number called New Kid In Town.

And, at number three, here comes Barry Biggs.

# Step right up Hurry, hurry

# Before the show begins

# My friends

# Stand in line Get your tickets

# I hope you will attend

# It'll only cost you 50 cents to see

# What life has done

# To those like you and me

# See the man with the broken heart

# You see that he is sad

-# He's hurt so bad

-So bad, so bad

# See the girl who has lost The only love she's ever had

# There's got to be no sadder show to see

# No doubt about it Satisfaction's guaranteed

# So let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry

# Step right on in

# Can't afford to pass it by

# Guaranteed to make you cry

# Let the sideshow begin

# Step right on in

# Can't afford to pass it by

# Guaranteed to make you cry

# See the man who is crying

# For a million years

# So many tears

# It's more exciting than a one-man band

# The saddest little show in all the land

# So let the sideshow begin Hurry, hurry

# Step right on in

APPLAUSE

That's Sideshow from Barry Biggs.

-Nice to meet a fellow Aquarian. It's your birthday today, Barbara?

-Yep.

A very happy birthday to you. It's my birthday shortly.

I'm looking forward to being a teenager.

-Do you like Status Quo?

-I love them.

Here they are, at number nine, and The Wild Side Of Life.

# Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you

# You asked me not to call you on the phone

# Well, there's something I've been waiting for to tell you

# So I wrote it in the words of this song

# Now, the glamour of the gay night life has lured you

# To the places where the wine and liquor flow

# Well, you went to be somebody else's baby

# And forget the truest love you'll ever know

# I never knew there were honky tonk angels

# Oh, I might have known you'd never make a wife

# You gave up the only one that ever loved you

# And went back to the wild side of life

# Well, the glamour of the gay night life has lured you

# To the places where the wine and liquor flow

# But you went to be somebody else's baby

# Forget the truest love you'll ever know. #

APPLAUSE

There's the number nine sound, from Status Quo.

We were having a good truck to that.

I wondered what you were doing. That's called Wild Side Of Life.

Here's a group, brand-new to Top Of The Pops.

They're called Mr Big. A beautiful number called Romeo.

# I am the morning

# You are the light

# You make the morning such a beautiful thing

# I am the green grass And you are the rain

# Pour on me, make me grow No-one will ever know

# Fall on me Make me grow again

# I am the spirit You are the life

# You make the sunshine brighter You make me smile

# I am the water And you are the rose

# Oh, lady of the land Come to me, take my hand

# Until tomorrow, I'm your man

# Step back inside me, Romeo, she said

# Step back inside me Take me to your bed

# Step back inside me, Romeo

# My Juliet and take me home

# I am the darkness

# You are the night

# You make the darkness such a beautiful thing

# I am the mountain You are the snow

# Fall on me, make me grow No-one will ever know

# Fall on me, make me grow again

# Step back inside me, Romeo, she said

# Step back inside me Take me to your bed

# Step back inside me, Romeo

# My Juliet and take me

# Step back inside me Romeo, she said

# Step back inside me now

# Step back inside me, Romeo, she said

# Step back inside me Take me to your bed

# Step back inside me, Romeo. #

We're going to change a little bit now. Here's Andy Fairweather-Low.

And Bebop'N'Holla.

# Slip out the back door and into the night

# Lock up the joker Put out the light

# Get up and limbo over the floor

# Long as there's someone who knows what it's for

# You've got to do it

# Till you can't do no more

# You've been out on the border

# A little too long

# Those hand-rolling faces are putting you on

# Open up a bottle Tie up a prayer

# Let your emotions kidnap a chair

# But don't sit there waiting

# For someone to care

# So like a boogie

# Be bop and holler

# Get set and ready to roll

# Lay down some dynamo limbo

# Let's run the river

# Bebop and holler

# So like a boogie

# Rhythm will grab you

# We got the body and soul

# Nothing ever comes easy

# You've got to get off the floor

# Be bop and holler for more

# My midnight heaven's coming to stay

# No mosquito lady's going to fly me away

# I'll break down my senses Set them free

# If I get the knowledge then that's up to me

# Ain't nobody's business

# And I don't mean maybe

# So like a boogie

# Bebop and holler

# Get set and ready to roll

# Lay down the dynamo limbo

# Let's limbo bebop

# Be bop and holler

# So lie back and boogie

# Razzle, we'll dazzle

# Break out the body and soul

# Nothing ever comes easy

# We've got to get up

# Be bop and holler for more. #

APPLAUSE

Bebop'N'Holla, that's Andy Fairweather-Low.

And, at number 28, a brand-new entry, the fabulous Moments.

# Oh, Jack comes out of the box

# Jack comes out, Jack comes out

# The bears came home and caught Goldilocks

# That horn belongs to Little Boy Blue

# And it's a fact, girl Yes, it's a fact

# Oh, a natural fact That I belong to you

# Belong to you, girl Belong to you, girl

# You think I move around, girl I know you think I do

# The bears came home And caught Goldilocks

# That horn belongs to Little Boy Blue

# And it's a fact, girl Yes, it's a fact

# Oh, a natural fact

# Belong to you, girl Belong to you, girl

# It sounds like a game And it's a doggone shame

# I can't make you believe that I'm yours

# But a fact is a fact And baby this ain't no act

# So sit yourself down I've got something to tell you

# Something to tell you

APPLAUSE

That used to be one of my Records Of The Week on Radio One.

It's now number 28. Jack In The Box, and that comes from Moments.

We haven't had a new record from the New Seekers for a long time,

but here it is, right now. I Wanna Go Back.

# I want to go back where my wandering started

# Back to the day we parted

# Back to the places and the people I once knew

# I want to go back where my friends will find me

# Back to all I left behind me

# Oh, oh, oh, oh I want to go back

# I want to go back where my wandering started

# Back to the day we parted

# Back to the places and the people I once knew

# I want to go back where my friends will find me

# Back to all I left behind me

# Woh, oh, oh I want to go back

# Made some friends along the way

# But I knew I couldn't stay

# Going to shake their hands and say

# It's sure been good to know you

# There's so much missing here

# I'm going to disappear

# And I'm going to go

# I'm going to go

# Yeah, I'm going to go back

# I want to go back where my wandering started

# Back to the day we parted

# Back to the places and the people I once knew

# I want to go back. #

APPLAUSE

That's the sound of the New Seekers.

-Do you like David Soul?

-I think he's lovely, yes.

I'm glad you said that, because here he is right now.

It's the number one sound, Don't Give Up On Us.

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Don't make the wrong seem right

# The future isn't just for the night

# It's written in the moonlight

# And painted on the stars

# We can't change ours

# Don't give up on us, baby

# We're still worth one more try

# I know we put the last one by

# Just for the rainy evening

# When maybe stars are few

# Don't give up on us, I know

# We can still come through

# I really lost my head last night

# You've got a right to stop believing

# There's still a little love left Even so

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Lord knows, we've come this far

# Can't we stay the way we are?

# The angel and the dreamer

# Who sometimes plays a fool

# Don't give up on us, I know

# We can still come through

# It's written in the moonlight

# And painted on the stars

# We can't change ours

# Don't give up on us, baby

# We're still worth one more try

# I know we put our last one by

# Just for the rainy evening

# When maybe stars are few

# Don't give up on us, I know

# We can still come through

# Don't give up on us, baby

# Don't give up on us, baby. #

APPLAUSE

David Soul. Very good looking. He's a great actor, he's a great singer.

I hope he's a lousy disc jockey.

That's the number one sound, called Don't Give Up On Us.

I'll be with you on Radio One tomorrow.

See you next week, for Top Of The Pops. Thanks for watching.

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Car Wash" by Rose Royce

# Ooh-ooh

# You might not ever get rich

# But let me tell you it's better than digging a ditch

# There ain't no telling who you might meet

# A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief

# Working at the car wash

# Working at the car wash, yeah

# Come on and sing it with me Car wash

# Sing it with the feeling, y'all

# Car wash, yeah. #
