Oh, let Lord Gary wave his flag, it's far more interesting than Peter.
"Smile" - Audrey Hall. Very light reggae, the "lover's rock" style is here produced by Sly and Robbie. Sadly, it's so light that it floats away in the breeze.
"I didn't mean to turn you on" - Robert Palmer.
The video's a carbon copy of his previous hit "A dickhead in love", same intention to make Robot out as the best lover since Casanova, so hot that he accidentally makes people want him. And that's just ludicrous: he's less attractive than a mug of hot cocoa.
Cherelle (of "Saturday love" fame) had done the song first, and we can believe she'd want to end a hook-up partway through.

Breakers! "Fight for ourselves" - Spandau Ballet, their big comeback single featured the band in a crowd, and bouncers perving over women in the toilets. The groom's brother's strumpet would approve. "Find the time" - Five Star, projected onto some of London's landmarks, such as Tower Bridge! Westminster Palace! The Hangar Lane Gyratory System! "Some candy talking" - The Jesus and Mary Chain, in black-and-white-and-purple. The shaking camera might be intended to mimic heroin addiction, which this song certainly wasn't about. Yes, of *course* they're playing the highest new entry. #TOTP
