29/07/76 Top of the Pops

Among the Olympics, some racing certainties for tonight's chart.

I could be for the high jump.

Above all, plenty of discus on tonight's Top Of The Pops.

APPLAUSE

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town

# See, me and the boys, we don't like it

# So we're getting up and going down

# Hiding low, looking right to left

# If you see us coming, I think it's best

# To move away, do you hear what I say?

# From under my breath

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in the town

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak

# So don't you be around

# Don't you be around

# Tonight there's gonna be trouble

# Some of us won't survive

# See, the boys and me mean business

# Busting out dead or alive

# I can hear the hound dogs on my tail

# All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail

# Like the game, if you lose, go to jail

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak

# Somewhere in the town

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak

# So don't you be around

# Tonight there's gonna be trouble

# I'm gonna find myself in it

# Tonight there's gonna be trouble

# Say, woman, stay with a friend

# I think it's safer

# Cos the boys are back in town

# Breakout!

ALARMS AND SIRENS WAIL

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak

# Somewhere in the town

# Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak

# So don't you be around

# Tonight there's gonna be trouble

# I'm gonna find myself in it

# Tonight there's gonna be trouble

# Hey, woman, stay with a friend. #

APPLAUSE

Getting us off tonight, Thin Lizzy and Jailbreak.

Time to meet a member of the medical profession, but not a psychiatrist.

It's not your mind he's interested in, it's your body.

It's Dr Hook and A Little Bit More.

# When your body's had enough of me

# And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

# When you think I've loved you all I can

# I'm gonna love you a little bit more

# Come on over here and lay by my side

# I've got to be touchin' you

# Let me rub your tired shoulders

# The way I used to do

# Look into my eyes and give me that smile

# The one that always turns me on

# And let me take your hair down

# Cos we're stayin' up to greet the sun

# And when your body's had enough of me

# And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

# When you think I've loved you all I can

# I'm gonna love you a little bit more

# Got to say a few things that have been on my mind

# And you know where my mind has been

# I guess I learned my lessons

# And now's the time to begin

# So if you're feelin' all right

# And you're ready for me

# I know that I'm ready for you

# We better get it on now

# Cos we got a whole life to live through

# And when your body's had enough of me

# And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

# When you think I've loved you all I can

# I'm gonna love you a little bit more

# And when your body's had enough of me

# And I'm layin' flat out on the floor... #

APPLAUSE

That was Dr Hook. What a naughty man. Always wants A Little Bit More.

I'm sure he'd like to meet real-life sisters Irene and Doreen,

the Chanter Sisters, Roll Up, Roll Up For The Side Show.

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# I'm back in town again

# Roll up, roll up

# I am your fool again

# Roll up, roll up

# Doing your vaudeville

# Roll up, roll up

# The prince of partyville

# Roll up, roll up

# I am the Mighty Mouse

# Roll up, roll up

# Doing the second house

# Roll up, roll up

# And when you buy my time

# Roll up, roll up

# I'm back in pantomime

# I'm just a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a night attraction

# When your action gets too slow

# I'm nothing but a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a pleasure steamer

# An inbetweener

# Till you go

# Then I stop the show, oh-oh

# I could have been a star

# Roll up, roll up

# They said I could go far

# Roll up, roll up

# I really made it strong

# Roll up, roll up

# Until you came along

# Roll up, roll up

# But then you saw the band

# Roll up, roll up

# And really took command

# Roll up, roll up

# I live for your rapport

# Roll up, roll up

# Nobody pays me more

# I'm just a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a night attraction

# When your action gets too slow

# I'm nothing but a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a pleasure steamer

# An inbetweener

# Till you go

# Then I stop the show, oh-oh

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# Roll up, roll up

# I'm just a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a pleasure steamer

# An inbetweener

# Till you go

# I'm nothing but a sideshow

# A sideshow

# I'm just a pleasure steamer

# An inbetweener... #

APPLAUSE

Great, great, fabulous.

That was the Chanter Sisters, who've flown over from Nashville especially for the show.

Believe me, it's hard on the arms. That was Sideshow.

A touch of class now. A Fifth of Beethoven. Walter Murphy his Big Apple, and here are Ruby Flipper.

MUSIC: "Fifth Symphony" by Beethoven

FUNKY BEAT ADDED

APPLAUSE

Aaah, they're lovely, aren't they?

That was Ruby Flipper and A Fifth Of Beethoven.

If you like dancing, now's the time to leap around the living room.

Jimmy James and the Vagabonds have just the number. JJ, take it away!

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Now is the time to set things right

# Now is the time we should unite

# We don't need revolutions

# We just need to open our eyes

# Revolution is no solution

# We ought to realise

# Now is the time to set things right

# Now is the time to see the light

# Looking back to see the future

# Entering the age of nuclear

# Now is the time to set things right

# Take a look around

# What a mess we're living in

# God created love

# But man, whoo! he created sin

# Yes, he did!

# Taking from the earth

# But never, ever putting in

# Uh-uh

# Now what becomes of man

# When he has used up everything?

# Won't somebody tell him

# Now is the time to set things right

# Now is the time we should unite

# We don't need revolutions

# We just need to open our eyes

# Revolution is no solution

# We ought to realise

# Now is the time to set things right

# Now is the time to see the light

# Looking back to see the future

# Entering the age of nuclear

APPLAUSE

What a great fun band, they really are.

Jimmy James and the Vagabonds and Now Is The Time.

Now is the time to preserve the Status Quo. Number 18 in the chart,

and it's a Mystery Song.

APPLAUSE

That was Status Quo and Mystery Song.

No mystery about this next song. It's at number 11 in the chart.

It's a lovely song by Liverpool Express called You Are My Love.

# You are my love

# You are the one that I adore

# You are my love

# You are what I have waited for

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# You are my day

# You changed my winter into spring

# You came my way

# And then my heart began to sing

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# Times were getting lonely

# I was thinking only

# Yesterday about the friends I thought I had

# But no-one ever came to call on

# No-one around to close the door on

# Never thought that things would get that way

# You are my love

# You are the one I'll always need

# You are my love

# You knew I'd get down on my knees

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

-# You are my love

-Times were getting lonely

-# You are the one that I adore

-I was thinking only

-# You are my love

-Yesterday about the friends I thought I had

# You are what I have waited for

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love

# Oh, you are my love. #

APPLAUSE

See what I mean? Isn't that beautiful? Liverpool Express, You Are My Love.

Elton John and Kiki Dee have done the double.

In the top ten in the States,

number one here for the second consecutive week.

This is the one that's done it.

Elton and Kiki, top of the pile across the nation. Don't Go Breaking My Heart.

APPLAUSE

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I couldn't if I tried

# Honey, if I get restless

# Baby, you're not that kind

# Don't go breaking my heart

# You take the weight off of me

# Honey, when you knock on my door

# Ooh, I gave you my key

# Ooh-ooh

# Nobody knows it

# When I was down

# I was your clown

# Ooh-ooh

# Nobody knows it

# Nobody knows it

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Ohh-ohh, I gave you my heart

# So don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# And nobody told us

# Cos nobody showed us

# And now it's up to us, babe

# Oh, I think we can make it

# So don't misunderstand me

# You put the light in my life

# Oh, you put the spark to the flame

# I've got your heart in my sights
