Welcome to Top Of The Pops and a hit sound countdown to Santana!

# No-one told me about her

# The way she lied

# Well, no-one told me about her

# How many people cried

# But it's too late to say you're sorry

# How would I know? Why should I care?

# Please don't bother trying to find her

# She's not there!

# Ooh, ooh

# Nobody told me about her

# What could I do?

# Well, nobody told me about her

# Though they all knew

# But it's too late to say you're sorry

# How would I know? Why should I care? #

APPLAUSE

# Please don't bother trying to find her

# She's not there! #

# Well, my baby left me and never said a word

# Was it something I done or something that she heard?

# You know she left me

# My baby left me

# You know, she even left me

# Never said a word!

# Well, I stand by my window Wring my hands and moan

# You know, the one I love The one I love is gone!

# You know, she left me

# My baby left me

# You know, she even left me

Nice to see Slade back with My Baby Left Me But That's Alright Mama.

Here's another double-barrelled title, this time strictly for lovers.

It's Mary Mason with Angel Of The Morning and Any Way That You Want Me.

# If it's love that you want

# Baby, you've got it

# From the depths of my soul

# Baby, you've got it

# But I've been watching you

# And I don't think that's you're game

# Boy, there's no need to explain

# Any way that you want me

# Any way that you'll take me

# Any way that you'll make me be part of you

# Any way at all

# There'll be no strings to bind your hands

# Not if my love can't bind your heart

# And there's no need to take a stand

# For it was I who chose to start

# I see no need to take me home

# I'm old enough to face the dawn

# Just call me angel of the morning, angel

# Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

# Just call me angel of the morning, angel

# Then slowly walk away

# I won't beg you to stay with me

# Any way that you want me!

# Just call me angel of the morning

# Any way that you'll take me!

# Just touch my cheek before you leave me

# Any way that you want me!

# Just call me angel of the morning

# Then walk away from me

-# From me!

-From me!

-From me!

-Yeah!

# Any way that you want me!

# Just call me angel. # APPLAUSE

You may not believe your eyes for this next group,

but they're for real - The Darts with Daddy Cool!

# I saw a crazy chick a-running down the street

# I said, "A-whoo, pretty baby! Why the great bit heat?"

# She said, "Wow, what a square! Don't you dig the scene?

# "Daddy Cool's playing his piano machine!"

-# Well, Daddy who?

-Daddy Cool!

-A-huh-huh-huh! A-huh-huh-huh!

-# She led me by the hand

-Cool daddy, cool!

-# Down to the railroad track

-A-huh-huh! Cool daddy, cool!

# And in a tin roof honky tonk

-# Cool Daddy shook the shack!

-A-huh-huh-huh! A-huh-huh-huh!

-# The joint was dim and dark

-Cool daddy, cool!

-# Except for one spotlight

-A-huh-huh-huh! Cool daddy, cool

# But you hold on to frantic hands

-# That rock like dynamite

-A-huh-huh-huh! A-huh-huh-huh!

-Rock, cool daddy, rock

-# Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool

-Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock! #

Wow, that's square!

# Rock, rock, rock, rock!

# When she walks by the menfolk stand engrossed

# She can't help it! The girl can't help it!

# When she winks her eye the bread slices turn to toast!

# She can't help it! The girl can't help it!

-# That girl's got a lot of what they call the most!

-She can't help it!

-# The girl can't help it!

-Well...

# The girl can't help it! She was born to please!

-# She can't help it! The girl can't help it!

-And...she's got

# A figure made to squeeze

# She can't help it! The girl can't help it!

-# Now won't you kindly be aware that I can't help it?!

-A-huh-huh-huh! A-huh-huh-huh!

-# Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool

-Cool daddy, cool!

-# Daddy Cool, Daddy!

-A-huh-huh-huh! Cool daddy, cool!

# Daddy Cool, Daddy Cool

Wild sounds and scenes there from The Darts!

Here's another wild sound,

but the scene is a little gentler on the eyes! It's Legs & Co!

Shout "Bam-a-lam" for Ram Jam and Black Betty!

# Whoa, Black Betty! Bam-a-lam! Whoa, Black Betty! Bam-a-lam!

# Black Betty had a child! Bam-a-lam! The damn thing gone wild! Bam-a-lam!

# She said, "It weren't none of mine" Bam-a-lam!

APPLAUSE

Shout "Bam-a-lam!" This next number is hit sound number four.

It sits on number three, actually, this week. It came up from four last week.

For all the tartan hordes who are joining us tonight,

Rod Stewart and You're In My Heart.

# I didn't know what day it was

# When you walked into the room

# I said hello unnoticed

# You said goodbye too soon

# Breezing through the clientele

# Spinning yarns that were so lyrical

# I really must confess right here

# The attraction was purely physical

# Oh, yeah

# I took all those habits of yours

# That in the beginning were hard to accept

# Your fashion sense Beardsley prints

# I put down to experience

# The big-bosomed lady with the Dutch accent

# Who tried to change my point of view

# Her ad-libbed lines were well rehearsed

# But my heart cried out for you

# You're in my heart You're in my soul

# You'll be my breath should I grow old

# You are my lover You're my best friend

# You're in my soul

# My love for you is immeasurable

# My respect for you immense

# You're ageless, timeless lace and fineness

# You're beauty and elegance

# You're a rhapsody, a comedy

# You're a symphony and a play

# You're every love song ever written

# But, honey, what do you see in me?

# You're in my heart You're in my soul... # APPLAUSE

It won't be long before that's number one.

Straight in at 15 and making their debut on this week's Top Of The Pops

comes The Tom Robinson Band, a band I predict big things for in 1978.

Their debut single - 2-4-6-8 Motorway!

# Drive my truck midway to the motorway station

# Fairlane cruiser coming up on the left-hand side

# Headlight shining Driving rain on the window frame

# Little young Lady Stardust hitching a ride! Let's go!

# 2-4-6-8 ain't never too late

# Me and my radio truckin' on through the night

# 3-5-7-9 on a double white line

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

# Whizz kid sitting pretty on your two-wheel stallion

# This ol' ten-ton lorry got a beat on you

# Ain't no use setting off with a bad companion

# Ain't nobody get the better of you-know-who

# And it's...

# 2-4-6-8 ain't never too late

# Me and my radio truckin' on through the night

# 3-5-7-9 on a double white line

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

# Well, there ain't no route you could choose to lose the two of us

# Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong

# No-one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere

# Going to keep on driving home on the road I'm on! And it's...

# 2-4-6-8 ain't never too late

# Me and my radio truckin' on through the night

# 3-5-7-9 on a double white line

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

# And it's 2-4-6-8 Ain't never too late

# Me and my radio truckin' on through the night

# 3-5-7-9 on a double white line

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

# Motorway sun coming up with the morning light. #

APPLAUSE

I'm sure that's the first of many Top Of The Pops appearances

for Tom Robinson. Here's this week's highest chart charger

at number five - Abba with The Name Of The Game.

# I've seen you twice in a short time

# Only a week since we started

# It seems to me For every time

# I'm getting more open-hearted

# I was an impossible case

# No-one ever could reach me

# But I think I can see in your face

# There's a lot you can teach me

# So I wanna know

# What's the name of the game?

# Does it mean anything to you?

# What's the name of the game?

# Can you feel it the way I do?

# Tell me please Cos I have to know

# I'm a bashful child Beginning to grow

# And you make me talk And you make me feel

# And you make me show

# What I'm trying to conceal

# If I trust in you Would you let me down?

# Would you laugh at me?

# If I said I care for you?

# Could you feel the same way too? I wanna know

# The name of the game. #

It's a bit like the Pop Family Robinson on this week's Top Of The Pops.

We've already had a look at Tom.

Now let's check out Smokey and the theme from the Big Time!

# Oooh

# Big time

# You'd better get yourself together

# Well, well, well

Thank you very much.

Welcome to the team. We look forward to next week,
