# Happy birthday, happy birthday

# Happy birthday, happy birthday

# Happy birthday, happy birthday

# Happy, happy birthday, in a hot bath

# To those nice, nice nights

# I remember always, always

# I got such a fright

# Seeing them in my dark cupboard

# With my great big cake

# If they were me, if they were me

# And I was you, and I was you

# If they were me, if they were me

# And I was you, and I was you

# If they were me and I was you, would you have liked a present too?

APPLAUSE

Looks like being a good night on Top Of The Pops.

That lady is starring in Gregory's Girl, she's also in the charts.

Altered Images with Clare, and of course, it's Happy Birthday.

Rod Stewart has a new single out.

Looks like this, and sounds like this, too.

APPLAUSE

# I can tell by the look in your eyes

# You've been bored for a long, long time

# You need love, and so do I

# Let's turn it all around

# I don't want an everlasting thing

# I don't care if I see you again

# So grab your coat and, honey, tell your friends

# You won't be home, you won't be home, you won't be home

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything that you want me to

# Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything, cos I want you to

# Just don't hurt me, baby

# Yeah!

# I don't really want to challenge you,

# Marry you, or remember you

# I just wanna make love to you

# For 24 hours or more, or more

# I'm only looking for a fantasy

# An interlude from reality

# Don't want nobody trying to rescue me

# So rock me babe, rock me babe

# Rock me, rock me

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything that you want me to

# Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything cos I want you to

# I want you to

# And tomorrow morning we won't cry

# You go your way, honey, I'll go mine

# I'm the one who didn't waste your time

# Remember me this way

# And if you never see my face again

# Think of me as a permanent friend

# But one who loved you like a hurricane

# Then disappeared, disappeared, disappeared

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything that you want me to

# Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything cos I want you to

# Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

# Tonight I'm yours

# Do anything that you want me to

# Don't hurt me, don't hurt me

# Tonight I'm yours. #

APPLAUSE

That's Rod Stewart, and Tonight I'm Yours.

Now, there's a record you may have heard which has become one

of those surprising things, a hit out of nowhere, by The Fureys and Davey Arthur.

Now, The Fureys make themselves up of David, Finbar, George, and Eddie.

This is the way they look, and this is the way

they sound with an old, old song - 75 years old today.

APPLAUSE

# When first I saw the love light in your eyes

# I thought the world held naught but joy for me

# And even though we've drifted far apart

# I never dream but what I dream of you

# I love you as I've never loved before

# Since first I saw you on the village green

# Come to me e'er my dreams of love are o'er

# I love you as I loved you when you were sweet

# When you were sweet sixteen

# I love you as I've never loved before

# Since first I saw you on the village green

Come to me, e'er my dreams of love are o'er

# I love you as I loved you when you were sweet

# When you were sweet sixteen. #

APPLAUSE

Break your heart, wouldn't it? That's Davey Arthur And The Fureys.

OK, Olivia Newton-John, getting Physical.

APPLAUSE

# I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like

# Making good conversation

# I gotta handle you just right

# You know what I mean?

# I took you to an intimate restaurant

# Then to a suggestive movie

# There's nothing left to talk about

# Unless it's horizontally

# Let's get physical, physical

# I wanna get physical

# Let's get into physical

# Let me hear your body talk, your body talk

# Let me hear your body talk

# Let's get physical, physical

# I wanna get physical

# Let's get into physical

# Let me hear your body talk, body talk

# Let me hear your body talk

# I've been patient, I've been good

# Tried to keep my hands on the table

# It's getting hard, this holding back

# You know what I mean?

# I'm sure you'll understand my point of view

# We know each other mentally

# You gotta know that you're bringing out

# The animal in me

# Let's get physical, physical

# I wanna get physical

# Let's get into physical

# Let me hear your body talk, your body talk

# Let me hear your body talk

# Let's get physical, physical

# I wanna get physical

# Let's get into physical

# Let me hear your body talk, your body talk

# Let me hear your body talk

# Oh, let's get physical, physical

# I wanna get physical

# Let's get into physical

# Let me hear your body talk, your body talk. #

APPLAUSE

That's Olivia Newton-John, and Physical.

# To hold me away from you

# One more time

# Don't you try to hold me away from you

# Baby, listen to me, don't you try

# To hold me away from you. #

APPLAUSE

B A Robertson and Maggie Bell. Now, there's a band that I've been

featuring a great deal on my Radio 1 programme,

every day for the last couple of weeks.

This is what they look like, and this is what they sound like.

Haircut One Hundred.

APPLAUSE

# Time, can't afford no time

# Can't afford the rhyme

# Never mind, some day, maybe

# Boy meets girl

# And love, love is on its way

# Boy meets girl

# Boy meets girl

# Bang! Feel a little love

# Carino dime

# Never mind, some day, Terry

# Feel the pain

# Hit, feel, rap, sweat

# Why?

# Feel the floor

# Sweets for my way

# Boy meets girl

# Boy meets girl

# Why?

# Feel the floor

# Sweets for my way

# Boy meets girl

# Boy meets girl

# Feel the rhyme, take the time, go fighting to the top

# Go number one, stick a honey bun, your mind begins to flop

# Now take in steam, recall your dream

# Hey, camisas!

# Your favourite shirt is on the bed

# Do a somersault on your head. #

APPLAUSE

Amazing. That's Haircut One Hundred, and that's terrific.

It's called Favourite Shirts.

OK, here's the mystery voice with this week's charts.

And it's down to number 30 for Alvin Stardust and Pretend.

# You've seen Olivia Newton-John. She's at 29, with Physical.

Soft Cell are down to 28 with Tainted Love,

and The Creatures are at 27 with Mad Eyed Screamer.

Here's The Police at 26 with Invisible Sun,

and Diana Ross and Lionel Richie clamber down to 25 with

Endless Love.

Japan and Quiet Life are at number 24,

and Adam And The Ants, Prince Charming, at 23.

At number 22, The Fureys And Davey Arthur, When You Were Sweet Sixteen,

and at 21, that strange new

song by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark called Joan Of Arc.

APPLAUSE

# A little Catholic girl is falling in love

# A face on a page, a gift from above

# She should have known better than to give her heart

# She should have known better than to ever part without me

# Without me

# I gave her everything that I ever owned

# I think she understood, though she never spoke

# She shouldn't oughta try to be that way

# She shouldn't have to go there every day, without me

# Without me

# Now listen to us good and listen well

# Listen to the song and everything we tell

# We should have known better than to give her away

# We should have known better to this very day, without me

# Without me

# Listen, Joan of Arc, all you gotta do

# Say the right words and I'll be coming through

# Hold you in my arms and take you right away

# Now she's on her way to another land

# We never understood why she gave her hand

# She shouldn't oughta promise, cos it's just pretend

# I know she doesn't mean it and she'll leave again, without me

# Without me

# Without me

# Without me. #

APPLAUSE

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. Right, it's back to the charts.

Very simply, this is the moment we've all been waiting for.

As we climb to the number one spot on Top Of The Pops,

we'll have a look at what's happening at number 20.

And it's Ottowan at number 20 with Hands Up, Give Me Your Heart.

Madness are down to number 19, with Shut Up.

Here's Rod Stewart, climbing with Tonight I'm Yours, to number 18,

and Depeche Mode are at 17 with Just Can't Get Enough.

Bad Manners, Walking In The Sunshine's at number 16,

and Godley And Creme, Under Your Thumb, are at number 15.

and The Human League, Open Your Heart, at number 11.

At number ten, same as last week, Shakin' Stevens, It's Raining,

and Squeeze's brilliant new ballad, called Labelled With Love,

is up ten places to number nine.

APPLAUSE

# She unscrews the top of her new whisky bottle

# And shuffles about in her candlelit hovel

# Like some kind of witch with blue fingers and mittens

# She smells like the cat, and the neighbours she sickens

# The black-and-white TV has long seen a picture

# The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture

# The postman delivers the final reminders

# She sells off her silver, and poodles in china

# Drinks to remember I, me and myself

# And winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the shelf

# Home is a love that I miss very much

# So the past has been bottled, and labelled with love

# During the wartime, an American pilot

# Made every air-raid a time of excitement

# She moved to his prairie and married the Texan

# She learned from a distance how love was a lesson

# He became drinker and she became mother

# She knew that one day she'd be one or the other

# He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy

# Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty

# Drinks to remember I, me and myself

# And winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the shelf

# Home is a love that I miss very much

# So the past has been bottled, and labelled with love

# He, like a cowboy, died drunk in a slumber

# Out on the porch in the middle of summer

# She crossed the ocean, back home to her family

# But they had retired to roads that were sandy

# She moved home alone, without friends or relations

# Lived in a world full of age reservation

# On moth-eaten armchairs, she'd say that she'd sod all

# The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle

# Drinks to remember I, me and myself

# And winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the shelf

# Home is a love that I miss very much

# So the past has been bottled, and labelled with love

# Drinks to remember I, me and myself

# And winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the shelf

# Home is a love that I miss very much

# So the past has been bottled, and labelled with love

# The past has been bottled, and labelled with love

# The past has been bottled

# and labelled with love. #

APPLAUSE

Squeeze, and Labelled With Love, and if you have time, have a

listen to the B-side of that record, cos it's great.

And they're touring very shortly as well.

OK, back to the charts, and the top ten right now.

Up from last week's number nine to this week's number eight,

Good Year For The Roses by Elvis Costello.

Toyah's Thunder In The Mountains is down to number seven,

and The Police, biggest climber of the week,

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, at number six.

The Tweets, Birdie Song, is down to number five,

and The Jam climb to number four with Absolute Beginners.

Laurie Anderson surprisingly not number one, number three,

with O Superman,

and Altered Images, Happy Birthday, is at number two.

That's where we've got to leave you on Top Of The Pops.

and see what's happened to the number one from this week.

What is it? Just put your thinking caps on and listen.

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, sigh if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

# But Judy left the same time

# Why was he holding her hand,

# When he's supposed to be mine?

# It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# You would cry too, if it happened to you

# Play all my records, keep dancing all night

# But leave me alone for a while

# 'Til Johnny's dancing with me

# I've got no reason to smile

# It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# You would cry too, if it happened to you

# Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

# But Judy left the same time

# So I'll cry (cry, cry)

# If I want to

# Cry (cry, cry)

# If I want to

# Cry (cry, cry)

# If I want to

# Judy and Johnny just walked through the door

# Like a queen with her king

# Oh, what a birthday surprise

# Judy's wearing his ring

# It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# You would cry too, if it happened to you

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you

# It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you. #
