Afternoon, gang. Welcome to the Capital Hitline Top 10.

You know what Mondays are all about.

It's about going through a capital countdown over the last week that you've been voting on

and seeing what's going on.

What came out as your top 10.

And we've done the same for this one from 1987 today.

We've got a couple of ties happening and we'll have a look at birthdays.

You also lost one significant name in the world of pop music today, back in 2004.

But let's start at number 10, where we find it bites.

Here we go.

To you always

A love like yours is real

It must have been sent from up above

And I know you'll stay this way

For always

And we both know

That our love

Will grow

And forever

It will be

You and me

Ooh, you're like the sun

Chasing all of the rain away

When you come around

You bring brighter days

You're the perfect one

For me

And you forever will be

And I will love you so

For always

Come with me, my sweet

Let's go make a family

And they will bring us joy

For always

Oh, boy, I love you so

I can't find enough ways

To let you know

But you can be sure of it all

For always

And we both know

That our love

Will grow

And forever

It will be

You and me

Ooh, you're like the sun

Chasing all of the rain away

When you come around

You bring brighter days

You're the perfect one

For me

And you forever will be

And I will love you so

For always

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I will love you so

For always

I will love you so

For always

I will love you so

For always

I will love you so

For always

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I will love you so

For always

What a great love song.

Atlantic Star,

And always

You've heard that at many a wedding, I'm sure

At number nine

On your Capital Hitline Top Ten

Well, I hope you enjoyed all the weekend shows

Lots of chat and engagement going on there

And of course, another great Capital Countdown

With Mike Savage

He's now back in the 80s as well

Started in 1980 last weekend

This coming weekend, 1981

So look out for that

On the Capital Countdown

With Mike Savage

We're in 1987 today

For your Capital Hitline Top Ten

Taking you back

Back

What part of Durban are you from?

It's Berea

From the Berea in Durban, right

Give us, tell us your surname again

I'm Mr. DiMaggio

DiMaggio

Are you in any relation to the well-known baseballer, Joe DiMaggio?

Oh, maybe, somewhere down the line

I know, because it's not a very common surname

No, not at all

And you never know, if you go back through your family tree somewhere

You might be linked to the great star

Boy, that'll be something to tell your grandchildren about, huh?

Yeah, I'm glad

Okay, Michael, maybe you can tell your grandchildren that you're a winner on Capital as well

The Indigo Girls album is the prize

Here is that cryptic clue again

Nosiness ended this feline's life

Not a married lady, but linked to something John McEnroe would throw

And not like one caller told me, Tatum O'Neill

What is the answer?

It's Curiously Killed a Cat

And the song Misfit

Since such a child

You keep running wild

In a confined space

But you're not to blame

Cause you're not the same

Get on the case

Clay is cheap

You want the odd one out

Clay is cheap

Let them know what you're all about

Misfit

Freak that's on the street

Well, I can see sorrow in your eyes

How long, how long, how high can you go?

There'll be a light for every kind you'll see

So sensitive, John

Threatening so mild

It worries me

Yeah

So build yourself some protection

To avoid the injection

Then you can be happy

Crazy sheep

You want the odd one out

Now crazy sheep

Let them know what you're all about

Misfit

Freak that's on the street

Now I can see sorrow in your eyes

Clay is cheap

How long, how long, how high can you go?

There'll be a light for every kind you'll see

Set your mood to motion

A secret potion designed to

Satisfy your soul

Underneath your broken dreams

You can't escape from the dark

Need to satisfy

Misfit

Freak that's on the street

Well, I can see sorrow in your eyes

How long, how long, how high can you go?

There'll be a light for every kind

Too fast, too thin

You lose all your weight

This may come as a surprise

Too tough, too short

To lose such a toll

There'll be a light for every kind

Misfit, Misfit

Freak that's on the street

Now I can see sorrow in your eyes

Clay is cheap

How long, how long, how high can you go?

There'll be a light for every kind you'll see

Set your mood to motion

And underneath your broken teeth

Monday

6-0-4

Monday, Monday

So good to me

Tell me why I don't like Monday

It's just another manic Monday

The Capital Hitline

Just to see her

Just to touch her

Just to hold her in my arms again

One more time

If I could feel her warm embrace

See her smile and face

Can't find anyone to take her place

I've got to see her again

I would do anything

I would go anywhere

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just to see her again

I can't hide it

No

I can't fight it

It's so hard to live without the love

She gave to me

Doesn't she know it

I tried hard not to show it

Can I make her realize

That she really needs me again

I would do anything

I would go anywhere

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just to see her again

See her again

She brightened up my everyday

Made me feel so good in every way

If I could have her again

Have her back to stay

I've got to see her again

Just to see her

I want to see her

Just to hold her

Just to see her

Just to touch her

I would do anything

I would go anywhere

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just to see her again

She brightened up my everyday

Makes me feel so good in every way

If I could have her back to stay

I've got to see her again

Just to see her again

That one, that one, that one

Just to see her

Made me feel so good

Just to see her again

If I, if I

Could only see her again

Just to see her again

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just to see her, don't you

Smokey's still going strong.

as opposed to Smokey the band,

Let's get to that first breakaway today

and this is to remember somebody

in the world of pop music

that we shockingly lost

back in 2004.

She died of a brain aneurysm.

Only 50.

Two years old.

Her name?

Laura Branigan.

All the night

Is my world

City light

Painted girl

In the day

Nothing matters

It's the night

Turn the planet

In the night

No control

Through the wall

Something breaking

Wearing white

As you're walking

Down the street

Of my soul

You take myself

You take my self-control

You got me living

Only for the night

Before the morning

Comes the story's told

You take yourself

You take my self-control

Another night

Another day goes by

I never stop myself to wonder why

You have to forget to play my role

You take myself

You take my self-control

I

I live among the creatures of the night

I haven't got the will to try and fight

Against the new tomorrow

So I guess I'll just believe it

But tomorrow never comes

I said tonight

I'm living in the forest of a dream

I know the night is not as it would seem

I must believe in something

So I'll make myself believe it

But this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh

Oh, the night

Is my world

City lights

Paint it good

In the day

Nothing matters

It's the night

Time that matters

I

I live among the creatures of the night

I haven't got the will to try and fight

Against the new tomorrow

So I guess I'll just believe it

But tomorrow never comes

I said tonight

I'm living in the forest of a dream

I know the night is not as it would seem

I must believe in something

So I'll make myself believe it

But this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh

You take myself

You take myself, you take my self-control.

Laura Branigan, her big hit from 1984.

She died in 2004 at the age of 52.

That was self-control.

Remember her today because that's when it happened.

Today, back in 2004, 20 years ago.

So, now let's get back to your top ten.

And there's a tie at number six.

The Pet Shop Boys are on the way, but first of all, here's Deacon Blue.

She said, you walk, you talk, you care about nothing.

Sometimes you feel that life has treated you wrong.

I've got a feeling you know what's good.

Baby, but it's hard when you're sitting there.

Surrounded by friends.

I've got a love that I cling on to.

And I'll stay there, stay there till the end.

Have you found an answer?

I don't think you don't care.

Just your laugh, cause you're loaded.

Things are different from there.

Have you found an answer?

I don't think you don't care.

Just your laugh, cause you're loaded.

Things are different from there.

You walk and you talk and you sing and you shout and you justify about anything.

And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say nothing.

And you eat and you drink.

And you drink and you dress and you live as if no one else did, baby.

No one else like you lives out in this world.

I've got a love that I cling on to.

And I'll stay there, stay there till the end.

Cause you're loaded

I found an answer

I don't think you don't care

Just to laugh

Cause you're loaded

Things are different from there

I found an answer

I don't think you don't care

Just to laugh

Cause you're loaded

Things are different from there

I found an answer

I don't think you don't care

Just to laugh

Cause you're loaded

Things are different from there

I found an answer

I don't think you don't care

Just to laugh

Cause you're loaded

Things are different from there

I don't think you don't care

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be

So pure in thought and word and deed

They didn't quite succeed

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

Father forgive me

I tried not to do it

It's a sin

Father forgive me

I tried not to do it

It's a sin

Turned over and you leave

It's a sin

Then it's all right through it

It's a sin

Whatever you taught me

It's a sin

I didn't believe it

It's a sin

Father you fought me

It's a sin

Cause I didn't care

And I still understand

It's a sin

So I look back upon my life

Forever with a sense of shame

I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common too

It's a, it's a, it's a

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a

It's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a

It's a sin

at number six, tied with Deacon Blue and Loaded.

That song from the Pet Shop Boys spent many a day

at number one on the Capital Hitline Top Ten

when it was actually around the first time,

but only down at number six today.

On the way, we're going to have a look at your musical birthdays.

There are a few of those.

Won't be able to play all of them, but there are a couple,

one of them turning 78 years old today.

At number five, rock royalty.

Here it is, Hot and Alone.

I'm out of the clock

I'm lying here in the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight

No answer on the telephone

And the night goes by so very slow

Oh, I hope that it won't end though

We gotta make ends meet

Before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long

Can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun

Got a voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna be with me

This time

We know we all can stand together

With the power to be powerful

Believing we can make it better

We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long

Can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun

Got a voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear

Whoa

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna be with me

Whoa

We're not going to sit in silence.

We're not going to live with fear.

We're not going to sit in silence.

We're not going to live with fear.

We're not going to sit in silence.

We're not going to live with fear.

You're the first one understanding.

We're not going to sit in silence.

We're not going to live with fear.

And for love's sake, each mistake,

oh, you forget.

And soon both of us

Learn to trust

Not run away

There was no time to play

We build it up

And build it up

And now it's solid

Solid as a rock

That's what this love is

That's what we are

We've got

Solid

Solid as a rock

And nothing's changed it

The thrill is still

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh

You didn't turn away

When the sky went gray

Somehow we managed

We had to stick together

You did better than I

When I made you cry

We knew down the line

We would make it better

And for love's sake

Each mistake, oh, you forget

And soon both of us

Learn to trust

Not run away

There was no time to play

We build it up

And build it up

And now it's solid

Solid as a rock

That's what this love is

That's what we are

Yes, it is

Solid

Solid as a rock

And nothing's changed it

The thrill is still

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh

Gone with the wind

Another friend

Got in between

Tried to separate us

But knock, knock on wood

You understood

Love was so new

We did what we had to

And with that feeling

We were willing

To take a chance

So against all odds

We made a start

We got serious

This one turned to dust

We built it up

And built it up

And now it's solid

Solid as a rock

That's what this love is

That's what we've got

Solid

Yes, it is

Solid as a rock

And nothing's changed it

The thrill is still

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Have a drink or a sip

Starling

Starling as a rock

Starling, starling, starling

As a rock

Hey boy, take a look at me

Let me dirty up your mind

I'll strip away your heart veneer

And I'll strip away your soul

And see what I can find

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coolest of the cool

The namest of the lame

The namest of the tame

I hate to see you here

But you'll find a smile

A fake kind of fear

The queerest of the queer

And this is what it pays me for

I'll show you how it's done

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D

To love the pain you feel

Like father, like son

To turn it out

The queerest of the queer

Hide inside your head

The blindest of the blind

The deadest of the dead

You're hungry cause you start

By holding back the tears

Choking on your smile

A fit band of fear

The queerest of the queer

I know what's good

When you reach me

You want

I know you're

I know what's good

When you reach me

You want

But you can't stop

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coldest of the cool

The lamest of the lame

The numbest of the dumb

I hate to see you fear

The joke behind your smile

A fake band of fear

A fit band of fear

The queerest of the queer

The strangest of the strange

The coldest of the cool

You're nothing special here

A fake band of fear

The queerest of the queer

To turn it out

I know what's good for you

And I know what's good for me

Yeah

Many battles are lost

But you never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

Head now, head now

Don't dream it's over

Head now, head now

When the world comes in

They've come, they've come

To build a wall between us

You know they won't win

IU

Now I'm towing my car

There's a hole in the roof

My position's a cause of misdisposition

But there's no proof

In the pipe of today

Tales of Warren and Weiss

But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now

Don't you even talk

Oh, hey now, hey now

When the world goes in

They come, they come

To clear the war between us

We know they won't win

Oh, hey now, hey now

To the beat of the drum

And I'm counting the steps

To the door of your heart

Only shadows of death

Barely clear in the room

Get to know the feeling

Of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world goes in

They come, they come

To clear the war between us

We know they won't win

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win

Gonna make your Monday in every way

Born and grew tonight

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

My name is Luca

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes, I think you've seen me before

Maybe you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fright

Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's cause I'm clumsy

I try not to talk too loud

Maybe it's because I'm crazy

I try not to act too proud

Only hit until you cry

After that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore

Just don't argue anymore

Yes, I think I'm okay

Walked into the door again

If you ask, that's what I'll say

It's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone

Nothing broken, nothing wrong

Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luca

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes, I think you've seen me before

I live on the second floor

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of play

Just don't ask me what it was

Only hit until you cry

After that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore

Just don't argue anymore

Well, it wasn't all one-way traffic for most of the week

Although it was a pretty resounding win for our number one eventually

But it was given a bit of a push by that lady

Both of those were hitline number ones

No surprises when you see what isn't number one

Today

Straight out of the Hall of Fame

It's you too

I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have climbed

Highest mountains

I have run

Through the fields

Only to be with you

I have run

I have crawled

I have scaled

These city walls

Only to be with you

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

I have kissed

Heart and lips

Veiled for healing

And fingertips

And burned like fire

This burning desire

To be with you

I have smoked

With eternal angels

I have held

The hand of a devil

It was warm in the night

I was cold as the snow

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come

And all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

But yes, I'm still running

Through broken thorns and loose the chains

Carried the cross and all my shame

All my shame

You know I believe it

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found

What I'm looking for

But I still haven't found
