Boybands TOTP2

Greetings, pop-pickers.

Mark Radcliffe here, first reserve for Take That -

never got the call - and welcome to a meat rack of Top Of The Pops beefcake

as we present a bevy of boy bands.

The godfathers of the guy groups first - the Four Tops -

which they're wearing here with the four pairs of trousers,

which sadly, have shrunk in a hot wash.

# Sugar pie, honey bunch

# You know that I love you

# I can't help myself

# Cos I love you and nobody else

-# In and out my life

-In and out my life

-# You come and go

-Come and go

# Leaving just your picture behind

# And I kissed it 1,000 times

# When you snap your fingers

# Or wink your eye I come running to you

# I'm tied to your apron string

# And there is nothing that I can do

# Each day that it gets a little stronger

# Each heartache lasts a little longer

# I can't help myself

# No, I cannot help myself

-# Cos, sugar pie, honey bunch

-Sugar pie, honey bunch

# I'm weaker than a man should be

# I can't help myself I'm a fool in love, you see

# Want to tell you I don't love you Tell you that we're through

# And I'm trying

# But every time I see your face

# I get all choked up inside

# When I call your name Girl, it starts the flame

# Burning in my heart

# Tearin' it all apart

# No matter how I try My love I can't hide

-# Cos sugar pie, honey bunch

-Sugar pie, honey bunch

-# You know that I'm weak for you

-I'm weak for you

# I can't help myself Cos I love you and nobody else

# Ooh

-# Sugar pie, honey bunch

-Sugar pie, honey bunch

-# Do anything you ask me to

-You ask me to

# I can't help myself

# I really love you and nobody else

-# Sugar pie, honey bunch

-Sugar pie, honey bunch

# You know that I love you

# I love you, I can't help myself

# Cos I love you and nobody else

# Whoo! #

Oh, and a little bow! What well-mannered gents.

Not like this lot, some of whom have kept their coats on even though

we've invited them in and put the gas fire on at the back of the room.

# I'm doing this tonight

# You're probably going to start a fight

# I know this can't be right

# Baby, come on

# I loved you endlessly and you weren't there for me

# So now it's time to leave and make it alone

# I know that I can't take no more

# It ain't no lie

# I want to see you out that door

# Baby bye bye bye Bye bye

# Don't wanna be a fool for you

# Be just another player in your game for two

# You may hate me but it ain't no lie

-# Baby, bye bye bye

-Bye bye

# Don't really want to make it tough

# I just want to tell you that I've had enough

# Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie

# Baby, bye bye bye

# You just hit me with the truth

# Girl, you're more than welcome to

# So give me one good reason

# Baby, come on

# I live for you and me

# And now I really come to see

# That life would be much better

# Once you're gone

# I know that I can't take no more It ain't no lie

# I want to see you out that door

-# Baby, bye bye bye

-Bye bye

# Don't wanna be a fool for you

# Just another player in your game for two

# You may hate me but it ain't no lie

-# Baby, bye bye bye

-Bye bye

# Don't really wanna make it tough

# I just want to tell you that I had enough

# It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie

# Baby, bye bye bye

# I'm giving up, I know for sure

# I don't want to be the reason for your love no more

-#

-Bye bye

# I'm checking out, I'm signing off

# I don't want to be the loser and I've had enough

# I don't want to be your fool

# In this game for two

# So I'm leaving you behind

# I don't want to make it tough

# But I've had enough

# And it ain't no lie

# Bye bye

# Don't want to be a fool for you

# Just another player in your game for two

# I don't want to be a fool

# But it ain't no lie

# Baby, bye bye bye

# Bye bye. #

And the one in the raincoat, Nick Knowles there,

on his way to sorting out another DIY SOS.

What a guy!

And now, with hairstyles variously modelled on a lavatory brush...

# If you hate me after what I say

# Can't put it off any longer

# Just got to tell her anyway

-# Bye bye, baby, baby goodbye

-Baby, bye-bye

-# Bye-bye baby, don't make me cry

-Baby, bye-bye

# You're the one girl in town I'd marry

# Girl, I'd marry you now if I were free

# I wish it could be

# I could love you, but why begin it?

# Cos there ain't any future in it Gee

-# So bye-bye baby, baby goodbye

-Baby, bye-bye

-# Bye-bye baby, don't make me cry

-Baby, bye-bye

# Wish I never had known you better

# Wish I knew you before I met her, gee

# How good it would be

# For me

# Should have told her that I can't linger

# There's a wedding ring on my finger

# She's got me, but I'm not free so

-# Bye-bye baby, baby goodbye

-Baby, bye-bye

-# Bye-bye baby, don't make me cry

-Baby, bye-bye

# Cry baby, baby bye-bye

# Bye baby, baby bye-bye

# Baby

-# Bye-bye

-Bye, baby, baby bye-bye

# Baby

# Bye bye

# Bye baby, baby bye-bye

# Baby, bye bye. #

Named after they stuck a pin in a map of America, apparently.

Good job they didn't land on Big Beaver, Pennsylvania, then.

OK - Westlife next, and in contrast to namby-pamby 'N Sync,

these hardy Irish lads have got no coats on, even though

it's snowing - or is it raining?

# I have a dream

I had a dream - that one day, we'd live in a world without Westlife.

Who says dreams don't come true?

Wasn't it thrilling when they finally got off those stools?

And if it's thrills you're after, check out the hip thrusts on these boys, who are in the zone.

Do you see?

Next up, coordination is the key here,

with jackets just back from the dry-cleaners to match the teeth.

SCREAMING

# Girl, when you hold me

# How you control me

# You bend and you fold me

# Any way you please

# It must be easy for you

# The loving things that you do

# But just a pastime for you

# I could never be

# And I never know, girl

-# If I should stay or go, girl

-Or go away, girl

-# Cos the games

-# Let me be the one, girl

-Ooh, baby

# Love me for a reason

-# Attraction

-My initial reaction is

# Honey, give me love Not a facsimile of

# Let me be the one, girl

# Love me for a reason

# And let the reason be love

Look, I'm not being funny, but if you had four brothers,

would you do a dance like that or would you rather go down the pub?

Not in those trousers, obviously.

Next, well-groomed Elvis progeny Hanson.

This kind of enforced child labour on the drums is banned nowadays.

# Oh, oh

# Oh, yeah

# You have so many relationships in this life

# Only one or two will last

# You go through all the pain and strife

# Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast

# Ooh, yeah

-# And they're gone so fast

-Yeah

# So hold on to the ones who really care

# In the end they'll be the only ones there

# When you get old and start losing your hair

# Do-we-dop-ba doo-wop bup-a-dop-ba doo... #

Quite a good song, that, actually. Not as good as this one, mind,

from the original boy band.

And wait till you see their car. Are you watching, Jeremy Clarkson?

# Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings

# Of the bluebird as she sings

# The six o'clock alarm would never ring

# But it rings and I rise

# Wipe the sleep out of my eyes

# My shaving razor's cold and it stings

# Cheer up, sleepy Jean

# Oh, what can it mean

# To a daydream believer

# And a homecoming queen?

# You once thought of me

# As a white knight on his steed

# Now you know how happy I can be

# Oh, and our good times start and end

# Without dollar one to spend

# But how much, baby do we really need?

# Cheer up, sleepy Jean

# Oh, what can it mean

# To a daydream believer

# And a homecoming queen?

# Cheer up, sleepy Jean

# Oh, what can it mean

# To a daydream believer

# And a homecoming queen?

# Cheer up, sleepy Jean

# Oh, what can it mean

# To a daydream believer

# And a homecoming queen?

# Cheer up, sleepy Jean... #

Yeah, we all wore braces with our swimming trunks in those days

and ended up in jail.

Holiday fun with The Monkees.

Here's Matt, Luke and the other one, now. When Will I Be Famous?

Well, right now, mate! Briefly.

Meanwhile, performing in what's left of a derelict fairground...

And check out Randy Jackson on the left.

He's brought his big bongos - never plays 'em!

The rest of 'em were livid,

they had to carry them home on the bus later that night!

# Oh, let me show you Let me show you the way to go

Next, Bobby Brown and friends,

sneaking downstairs, when they should be up in bed.

And who's been raiding the hat box again, eh?

# My girl's like candy A candy treat

This girls would never go out with those pimply youths in real life,

would they? I know, I still bear the scars of adolescent rejection.

But where are you know, Pippa Johnson?

I'm on Top of the Pops!

Well, kind of...

OK, what's going on 'ere, then?

Security! There's a load of hoodies in reception!

And with that, it was off to the BBC bar, but without ID.

So, just pop and crisps again, lads, wasn't it?

Documentary footage now and an insight into what it was like

being a young man on the streets of New York in those days.

Quite good fun, by the looks of it, especially for a cowboy.

# Young man There's no need to feel down

# I said, young man

# Pick yourself off the ground

# I said, young man

# Cos you're in a new town

# There's no need to be unhappy

# Young man

# There's a place you can go I said, young man

# When you're short on your dough

# You can stay there

# And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# They have everything for young men to enjoy

# You can hang out with all the boys

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# You can get yourself clean

# You can have a good meal

# You can do whatever you feel

# Young man Are you listening to me?

# I said, young man What do you want to be?

# I said, young man

# You can make real your dreams

# But you got to know this one thing

# No man does it all by himself

# I said, young man

# Put your pride on the shelf And just go there

# To the YMCA

# I'm sure they can help you today

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# It's fun to stay at the YMCA

# They have everything for young men to enjoy

# You can hang out with all the boys

# It's fun to stay at the

# YMCA

# It's fun to stay at the

# YMCA

# You can get yourself clean You can have a good meal

# You can do whatever you feel

# Young man I was once in your shoes

# I said, I was down and out with the blues

# I felt no man cared if I were alive

# I felt the whole world was so tight

# That's when someone came up to me

# And said, "Young man Take a walk up the street"

# "There's a place there called the YMCA"

# "They can start you back on your way". #

I was actually the seventh member of the band, until they decided

-they didn't want a Morris dancer.

-Drums, please!

DRUM ROLL

Because you're about to witness a most historic event.

For the first time ever, Top of the Pops can reveal

Ooh, yes, it's the Tempts next.

Get down! Ow! Etcetera.

# I can turn the greyest sky blue

Natty waistcoats, eh?

Right, on stools borrowed from Westlife now.

Except Brian had left Westlife and taken his stool with him,

so Gary had to stand up. Bless.

# I guess now it's time

# For me to give up

# I feel it's time

# Got a picture of you beside me

# Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup

# Oh, yeah

# Got a fist of pure emotion

# Got a head of shattered dreams

# Gotta leave it

# Gotta leave it all behind now

# Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it

# I just want you back for good

# Want you back, want you back

# Want you back for good

# Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it

# You'll be right and understood

# Want you back, want you back

-# I want you back for good

-# Want you back for good

# Unaware, but underlined

-# I figured out the story

-No, no

-# It wasn't good

-No, no

-# But in a corner of my mind

-# A corner of my mind

# I celebrated glory

# But that was not to be

# In the twist of separation

# You excelled at being free

# Can't you find a little room inside for me?

# Whatever I said, whatever I did

# I didn't mean it # I just want you back for good

# Want you back, want you back

# See, I want you back for good

# Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song and I'll sing it

# You'll be right and understood

# Want you back, want you back

# I want you back for good

# And we'll be together

# This time it's forever

# We'll be fighting and forever we will be

# So complete in our love we will never be uncovered again

# Whatever I said, whatever I did

# I didn't mean it

# I just want you back for good

# Want you back, want you back

# Want you back for good

# Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song and I'll sing it

# You'll be right and understood

# Want you back, want you back

# See, I want you back for good

# Whenever I'm wrong, I'll tell you

# I just want you back for good

# Want you back, I want you back for good

# Whenever I'm wrong, I'll tell you

# I want you back, I want you back

# You see, I want you back for good

# Oh, yeah

# I guess now it's time

# That you came back for good. #

APPLAUSE

OK. Next, it's Blue, and if you fancy a little dance

but can't be bothered learning complicated routines,

hang on for the chorus. I think you'll get the hang of it.

# It's kinda funny how life can change

# Can flip 180 in a matter of days

# Sometimes love works in mysterious ways

# One day you wake up, gone without a trace

# I refuse to give up

# I refuse to give in

# You're my everything

# I don't wanna to give up

# I don't wanna give in

# So everybody sing

# One love for the mother's pride

# One love for the times we've cried

# One love, gotta stay alive

# I will survive

# One love for the city streets

# One love for the hip hop beats

# One love, oh, I do believe

# One love is all we need

# Late at night I'm still wide awake

# And this is all more than I can take

# I thought my heart could never break

# Now I know that's one big mistake

# I refuse to give up

# I refuse to give in

# You're my everything

# I don't want to give up

# I don't want to give in

# Oh, no

# Everybody sing

# One love for the mother's pride

# One love for the times we've cried

# One love, gotta stay alive

# I will survive

# One love for the city streets

# One love for the hip hop beats

# One love, oh, I do believe

# One love is all we need

# Baby just love me, love me, love me

# Baby just hold me, hold me, hold me, oh

-# Oh, yeah

# One love

# Baby just love me, love me, love me

# Baby just hold me, hold me, hold me

-# Oh, love me, love me, love me

-# Oh-oh

# One love for the mother's pride

# One love for the city streets

-# One love

-# One love for the hip hop beats

# One love, oh, I do believe

# One love is all we need. #

"One love for the mother's pride." Other sliced loaves are available.

OK, I know what you're thinking. "The Beatles? A boyband?"

Yes, but would you rather have more East 17?

# Pride can hurt you too

# Apologise to her

# Because she loves you

# And you know that can't be bad

# Yes, she loves you

# And you know you should be glad, ooh!

# She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

# She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

# And with a love like that

# You know you should be glad

# With a love like that

# You know you should be glad

# With a love like that

# You know you sho-o-ould

# Be glad

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. #

OK. Last up, it's JLS and if you're wondering what that stands for,

it's John Long Silver. I know, but don't tell 'em,

they've had the headed notepaper printed now.

See you next time.

# Everybody in love, go on, put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go on, put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go on, put your hands up

# If you're in love, put your hands up

# You know you need someone

# When the need's so strong

# When they're gone, you don't know how to go on

# So the whole world is stuck in a moment

# Standing still until they come back

# You accept that they, they've got things to do

# But sometimes in the end there's nothing left for you

# If hurt is missing your baby

# I've done too much of it lately

# Cos every minute's like an hour

# Every hour's like a day

# Every day lasts forever

# But what else am I gonna do?

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I wait up, wait up

# I can't eat, I can't sleep

# What else could it be?

# Missing you so deep

# Long as I'm where you're going to

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I'd wait up, wait up for you. #

Top of the Pops, make some noise!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# I'd wait up, wait up

# And even when we mad, and say we're through

# Deep inside you feel the same way I do

# Might as well turn around and just end this

# Cause it's harder tryin' to stay mad

# I can tell you that you can't stay here

# Knowing just as soon as you disappear

# That I'll be missing you, baby

# Soon as you get up and you walk away

# Cos every minute's like an hour

# Every hour's like a day

# Every day lasts forever

# But what else am I gonna do?

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I'd wait up, wait up

# I can't eat, I can't sleep

# What else could it be?

# Missing you so deep

# Long as I'm where you're going to

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I'd wait up, wait up for you

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# If you're in love, put your hands up

# Put your hands u-u-u-up

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# Everybody in love, go put your hands up

# If you're in love, put your hands up

# Every minute's like an hour

# Every hour's like a day

# Every day lasts forever

# But what else am I gonna do?

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I'd wait up, wait up

# I can't eat, I can't sleep

# What else could it be?

# Missing you so deep

# Long as I'm where you're going to

# I'd wait forever and a day for you

# I'd wait up, wait up for you. #
