28/07/77 Top of the Pops

And do I have a Top Of The Pops for you -

with the incredible Steve Gibbons Band!

# Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop

# Back under the counter was the cream of the crop

# Everything was clickin' and the business was good

# Till one day, lo and behold, an officer stood

# Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell

# Tulane made it up, Johnny fell and he yelled

# Go head on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

# Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

# Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

# Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

# Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

# Go head on, Tulane

# Go head on

# Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow

# And see if he will loan you something, soon you'll get the dough

# Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room

# Go by Dr Keller's, tell him you swallowed some perfume

# Tell him you need him quick, so he may have to testify

# That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi

# Go head on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

# Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

# Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

# Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

# Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

# Go head on, Tulane

# Go head on

# Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man

# Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van

# Go back to your father's, get the money for the bail

# And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail

# We got to get a lawyer in the click of politics

# Somebody who can win the thing or get this thing fixed

# Go head on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you

# Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you

# Go Tulane, use all the speed you got

# Go Tulane, you know you need a lot

# Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind

# Go head on, Tulane

# Go head on

-#Go head on, Tulane

-Ooooh

-# Go, Tulane

-He ain't got enough for you

-# Go, Tulane

-Ooooh

-#Go, Tulane

-Ooooh

# Go, Tulane, he laggin' behind

# Go head on, Tulane, go head on

# Wooo, Tulane

# Yeah, Tulane! #

Oh, what about that?

That's Tulane, and that's Steve Gibbons giving us all he's got.

It's a fascinating chart we've got for you this week.

# See how I'm walking

# See how I'm talking

# Notice everything in me

# Feel the need, oh

# Feel, feel the need in me

# I need you by my side

# To be my guide

# Can't you see my arms are open wide

# Feel the need, oh

# Feel, feel the need in me

# I need your love

# Every day, I need it

# Every day, I want it

# Without your sweet, sweet love, I'd rather die

# I need your love

# I need it constantly

# Your love takes care of me

# Your love is better to me than... #

That's the Detroit Emeralds, Feeling The Need.

And that's the way of the world as far as the Top 30 is concerned.

As far as that rather violent family, The Bakers,

is concerned, Richard's getting on all right, Hilda's causing

one or two problems and Ma is just unbelievable.

# She was the meanest cat

# In all Chicago town

# She was the meanest cat

# She really moved them down

# She had no heart at all

# No, no, no heart at all

# She was the meanest cat

# Oh, she was really tough

# She left her husband flat

# He wasn't tough enough

# She took her boys along

# Cos they were mean and strong

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, she taught her four sons

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, to handle their guns

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, she never could cry

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, but she knew how to die

# They left a trail of crime

# Across the USA

# And when one boy was killed

# She really made them pay

# She had no heart at all

# No, no, no heart at all

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, she taught her four sons

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, to handle their guns

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, she never could cry

-# Ma Ma Ma Ma

-Ma Baker, but she knew how to die

# She met a man she liked

# She thought she'd stay with him

# One day he formed with them

# They did away with him

# She didn't care at all

# Just didn't care at all... #

'Here is a special bulletin.

'Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.

'Her photo is hanging on every post office wall.

'If you have any information about this woman,

'please contact the nearest police station...'

Number two from Boney M, and that's Ma Baker.

And the highest new entry for this week comes in at 15.

It's Showaddywaddy.

# You don't drive a big fast car

APPLAUSE

Oh, yeah. Showaddywaddy and You've Got What It Takes.

And let's have a look at the legs of the Roadrunner.

# Roadrunner, Roadrunner

# Going faster miles an hour

# Going to drive past the Stop & Shop

# With the radio on

# I'm in love with the modern world

# Massachusetts, when it's late at night

# And the neon when it's cold outside

# I got the radio on

# It's like a Roadrunner, going around the highway

# I walked by the Stop & Shop

# Then I drove by the Stop & Shop

# I liked that much better than walking by the Stop & Shop

# Cos I had the radio on

# I felt in touch with the modern world

# I felt in love with the modern world

# I felt in love with Mattapan and Roslindale

# Cos I had the radio on

# I felt like a Roadrunner

# With the radio on

# And I said hello to the spirit of old 1956

# It was patient in the bushes next to '57

# Well, the highway was my only girlfriend, cos I went by so quick

# And suburban trees were out there

# And consequently it smelt like heaven

# So I say Roadrunner once

# Roadrunner twice

# We're in love with this feeling now, it will be...

# All right, now we can tell them about our love, man

# Radio on

# I've got the AM radio on

# I've got the power, I feel the feeling now

# Radio on

# I feel a feeling, and it's feeling all right now

# And I feel in touch with the modern world

# OK, let's go down Route 128. #

APPLAUSE

I can't believe the way she's driving there.

That's Jonathan Richman's Roadrunner.

This is Bob Marley.

# Exodus

# Well, all right

# Movement of Jah people

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Men and people will fight ya down

# When ya see Jah light

# Let me tell you if you're not wrong

# Then everything is all right

# So we're going to walk

# Right through the roads of creation

# We the generation

# Trod through great tribulation

# In this Exodus

# Well, all right

# Movement of Jah people

# Exodus

# Oh, yeah

# Movement of Jah people

# Well, well, well, well

# Open your eyes

# And look within

# Are you satisfied

# With the life you're living?

# We know where we're going

# We know where we're from

# We're leaving Babylon

# We're going to our Father land

# In this Exodus

# All right

# Movement of Jah people

# Movement of Jah people

# Send us another Brother Moses

# Movement of Jah people

# From across the Red Sea

# Movement of Jah people

# Send us another Brother Moses

# Movement of Jah people

# Going across the Red Sea

# Movement of Jah people

# Whoa-ah-ah

# Move

# Move

# Move. #

APPLAUSE

This week's 14, Bob Marley and the Wailers, and that's the Exodus.

Let's calm things down rather nicely.

Dana's back on Top Of The Pops,

and she's going to Put Some Words Together.

# You're living in a dream world

# Where all the words I long for

# Get written down in love songs

# And if you notice me at all

# You call me by a different name

# You're not to blame

# But now I need something more

# It's high time

# You put some words together just for me

# They don't need to be all new words

# If I know you mean it

# Sure, I'm there for a minute

# Then I might as well be gone

# Whichever world you're living in

# Why can't I belong?

# It's high time

# You put some words together just for me

# If I hang on till you're ready

# I could wait forever

# They don't need to be to music

# Or even have to rhyme

# Just a line of simple words

# To say you love me

# We're on the road to nowhere

# With all our suits and some days

# Forgotten by the morning

# And every time we talk

# I see you start to drift away

# This shadow play

# Is running fast our lights

# It's high time

# You put some words together just for me

# If I hang on till you're ready

# I could wait forever

# They don't need to be to music

# They don't even have to rhyme

# Just a line of simple words

# To say you love me

# Ooh, just a line

# Of simple words to say you love me

# Ooh

# Just a line of simple words

# To say you care. #

There's a song that's going to keep the Dana fans happy.

Here's a piece of film which will remind you of cold, chilly days.

Yes, yesterday. It's Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

That's the Fanfare For The Common Man, and here's something

for everybody in the Wirral who's borrowed some money at some point.

It's WIRRAL LOAN from Rita Coolidge!

# Outside, the rain begins

# And it may never end

# So cry no more

# On the shore, a dream

# Will take us out to sea

# Forever more

# Forever more

# Close your eyes and dream

# And you can be with me

# 'Neath the waves

# Through the caves of hours

# Long forgotten now

# We're all alone

# We're all alone

# Close the window, calm the light

# And it will be all right

# No need to bother now

# Let it out

# Let it all begin

# Learn how to pretend

# Once a story's told

# It can't help but grow old

# Roses do

# Lovers too

# So cast your seasons to the wind

# And hold me, dear

# Oh, hold me, dear

# Close the window, calm the light

# And it will be all right

# No need to bother now

# Let it out

# Let it all begin

# All's forgotten now

# We're all alone

# Oh, we're all alone

# Close the window, calm the light

# And it will be all right

# No need to bother now

# Let it out

# Let it all begin

# Owe it to the wind, my love... #

Isn't that lovely? Rita Coolidge with a Boz Scaggs number,

and We're All Alone.

The last time these chaps came on Top Of The Pops,

I tipped them for the number one slot. Now, they missed it.

Maybe I'll just say this one's going to be a flop -

they might make it to the top.

# When you passed me

# In the doorway

# Well, you took me with a glance

# I shoulda took that last bus home

# But I asked you for a dance

# Now, we go steady to the pictures

# I always get chocolate stains on my pants

# And my father, he's goin' crazy

# He says I'm livin' in a trance

# But I'm dancin' in the moonlight

# It's caught me in its spotlight

# It's all right, it's all right

# Dancin' in the moonlight

# On this long, hot summer night

# It's 3:00 in the morning

# And I'm on the streets again

# I disobeyed another warning

# I shoulda been in by ten

# Now I won't get out till Sunday

# I'll have to say I stayed with friends

# But it's a habit worth forming

# If it means to justify the ends

# Dancin' in the moonlight

# It's caught me in its spotlight

# It's all right, it's all right

# Dancin' in the moonlight

# On this long, hot summer night

# And I'm walking home

# My last bus has gone

# But I'm dancing in the moonlight... #

I'm absolutely aghast as to how he got those chocolate stains

while he was in the cinema. But that's Thin Lizzy on their way.

And we're on our way to the number one sound.

Once again, it's Donna Summer.

# Ooh

# It's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good

# It's so good

# Ooh

# I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love

# I'm in love

# Ooh

# I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# Ooh

# Fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free, fallin' free

# Fallin' free

# Ooh

# You and me, you and me, you and me, you and me

# You and me... #

The number one sound of Donna Summer on Top Of The Pops.

I'll see you on the Breakfast Show tomorrow.

See you next week for another Top Of The Pops. Bye-bye.

# Ooh

# I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love

# I feel love... #
