They act all sullen and resentful, grimacing and drawing back their lips as if the words tasted of TOUCH something you put down to kill rats. Mike Moran plays keyboards and does vocals. He looks like Ian Hunter with an invisible skunk grafted onto his upper lip. Sometimes he gets to sing an awful rock standard by one of those tawdry, tinny old tunesmiths like Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis. Mike's finest moment was when he sang a bluesy duet with Linda on Mink's "Melting Pot" (surely the best case for segregation the world of music has ever offered). The rest of the time he does back-up work on the show, looking very pissed off in the most petty way imaginable. G/Talso features two new tenth-rate bands every week, bands who are on the first rung of the showbiz ladder but too dumb to realise that this will be the high point of their careers. Resident dance troupe, the arthritic-limbed TSD's, get to dance twice on every GIT. They will use one of these spots to caper around dressed in furry ears and woolly tails, interfering with one of the tenth-rate bands. Their dancing consists of waving their arms in the air and grinning mindlessly. They steadfastly refuse to take off their furry ears and woolly tails, even if the band is crooning some romantic tear-jerker. Perverts.

What kind of magnetism kept me in this place? Was it out of control? What was this ship from out of space? What was this creature that appeared before my eyes? Was it good, was it evil on this ship from other skies?

Fool For Your Loving By Whitesnake on United Artists Records

I was born under a bad sign Left out in the cold I'm a lonely man who knows Just what it means to lose control

But I took all the heartache And turned it to shame Now I'm moving, moving on

And I ain't taking the blame Don't come running to me

I know I've done all I can A hard loving woman like you Just makes a hard loving man Chorus

So I can say it to you babe I'll be a fool for your loving no more A fool for your loving no more I'm so tired of trying

I always end up crying Fool for your loving no more I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'm tired of hiding my feelings You left me lonely too long I gave my heart and you tore me apart Oh baby, you done me wrong

Don't come running to me

I know I've done all I can A hard loving woman like you Just makes a hard loving man Repeat chorus
