"Do ya do ya (wanna please me)" - Sam Fox Eurodisco by numbers, cheap and a bit squalid and tremendously catchy. Sam was surprisingly massive on the continent; here it's the second of her top ten hits. #TOTP #SamanthaFox

"It's 'orrible bein' in love (when you're eight 'n' 'arf)" - Claire and Friends Claire Usher had won the Saturday Superstore Search for a Superstar contest in March, singing this ditty of precocious childhood romance. It's written by Michael Coleman - one half of "Matchstalk men" Brian and Michael. The titular friends are skipping and playing cards, while Claire sings. Everyone's rehearsed, finds their marks and waves their (slogan-less) scarf, but the climax to the performance (a kiss on the cheek from Claire's crush) is relegated to the longshot. Claire went on to perform in Riverdance on Broadway, a long way from this. #TOTP #ClaireAndFriends
