TOTP Top 30 Chart Rundown 09-12-1982

[basemann42]

Noitice how he didn't call out the name of the Marvin Gaye song? That's because the song was 'sexual healing'. The BBC probably told him not to say it.

[RocketDogMan]

I flippin well loved TOTP - every last one, but kind of glad it ended when it did!

[staffsmole]

@0.40 seconds....

What on earth does the bloke in the red think he looks like?

I bet he cringes when he sees this clip!

[stenchwart]

in this top 40 id say 30 hits are well remembered

[stenchwart]

i have the 12 inch of yellow pearl phil lynott/midge ure great theme tune and as for the top 40 nowadays it wont stand the test of time ur lucky if u have 8 half decent songs in the chart at one time nowadays

[jimmy3lions]

i remember this theme tune it was great,good memories

[bladesmark2]

what was the name of this theme?

[nickpackham]

It's Yellow Pearl by Thin Lizzy :)

[bladesmark2]

cheers for that nick

[MrBilliam64]

yellow pearl by phil lynott i think

[simpson30]

The best theme music that TOTP ever had

[SuperClint007]

absoloutly agree with you even the TOTP logo was the best one, way better than the ones they had after it, these chart run downs were the best

[sewitt60]

@simpson30 I agree with that.

[topsturner]

HOW many decent songs in that random Top 40? Still hear a lot of them on the radio now. Wonder if the same will be true of Lady GaGa and her friends in 27 years time?

[aeronuk1]

i do like a little lady gaga, i must admit, but who knows if she will stand the test of tome...

[sewitt60]

@topsturner Brilliant point, these are real songs, made to last.

[hyperwhizzkid]

Blue Zoo at no.30? Can't say I ever remember them!!

[bernieplop]

spanner-had a number of hits!

[ajs41]

I'd love to see Shalamar performing Friends on this show, (as Simon Bates said).
