Where are we going tonight? Oh, the usual cocktail joint. Big girl. [music] At 0700 hours tomorrow morning, my shutdown disc will be activated and all mental and physical operations will cease. Then what? I don't know. Maybe I'll get a job as a disc jockey. And now, here he is. It's Cookie. Oh, no! Music. Oh, yes, I'm afraid it is. So worry warm. Welcome along to another Thursday evening swanry. With me, Cookie, taking you through to the Beatles hour at 9pm UK time. Stand by for some wonderful music and a fair bit of mayhem into the bargain. And thanks to Gary Jackson for the last hour. He'll be back same time tomorrow. [music] Music. That's our middle name. Wonderful music. The I.T.L. And back for a little tinkle on the old Jyno for our sing along a little bit later on. [music] Into our 5500 with the birds. [music] I am looking to compete with you. Be your chief or mistreat you. Simplify you, classify you. Do not defile or crucify you. All I really want to do. The baby be friends with you. So I ain't looking to fight with you. Grabbing you or attacking you. Drag you down or bring you down. Change you down or bring you down. All I really want to do. The baby be friends with you. I don't want to take you down. Keep us grateful for saving you out. I am looking to compete with you like me. She like me or be like me. [music] I don't want to meet you again. Make you spin or do you win. Or select you or accept you. Or inspect you or reject you. All I really want to do. The baby be friends with you. The baby be friends with you. The baby be friends with you. [music] You get a positive charge out of... Big girl. [music] See the girl with simmers on her fingers entering through the door. Ruby glistening from her navel, shimmering around the floor. Bells are be quoting and mingling and going through my head. Sweat is falling just like a teardrop's running from her head. [music] Now she dancing going through the movement swaying to and fro. Body moving, being back in memory thoughts of long ago. Blood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow. Like a snake, her body person hates me. I can't look away now. Stop, stop, stop all dancing. Give me time to breathe. Stop, stop, stop all dancing all out to me. [music] Now she's moving over on the tables, blurring all inside. But I know that she cannot see me hidden by the light. Close to closer, she is getting here as soon as she'll be in reach. As I enter into a spotlight, she stands last for speech. Stop, stop, stop all dancing. Give me time to breathe. Stop, stop, stop all dancing all out to me. [music] [music] Stop, stop, stop all dancing. Give me time to breathe. Stop, stop, stop all dancing all out to me. Now all the people staring don't know what to think. And we struggle knocking over tables, spilling all the drinks. Can't they understand that I want her to happens every week? Heavy hand up on my collar throws me in the street. Stop, stop, stop all dancing. Give me time to breathe. Stop, stop, stop all dancing all out to me. [music] Oh, one for Sue's memory there. The hollies, stop, stop, stop. And the birds, and all I really want to do. Two for our five hundred, opening up another Thursday evening. Swari, very good evening to you, it is cookie. Live and lively, taking you through to the Beatles out at 9pm UK time. [music] Oh my goodness, it's chaos this evening. [music] Hang on, I'm just getting ready for everything and trying to grab a bite to eat and the phone goes. Yes. I don't know where I am the seat, but then that's nothing unusual is it. I'm always all over the place. So, what have we got on the menu to tempt you with this evening? Well, we have a long song from the temptations. We've got the stargazers to bring a smile to your face a little bit later on this hour. We'll get behind the wheel for our hour to open a vote. We'll find out what that's all about very soon indeed. [music] And for part of hour two, we'll be taking you back to this very week, 1981, for our five from ten chart record. Plus, of course, your emails and requests. And it wouldn't be Thursday without a sing-along, would it? [music] So, I hope you're in good voice this evening. Let's see who's checking in already. Very good evening to John and Chorley to Serja. And boy, over there in Zellzak, to Zoey and Mikey and Hichin. Lorna and Jen in Keswick. Maureen in Essex. We've got John and Chorley, John in Larm. [music] We've got Brian and Maureen in St. Albans. We've got someone just coming in there with a voice smile. So, back very soon indeed. Very good Friday morning to Lance in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Listening on his way into work. So, good to have you with us this morning where you are. [laughs] It's very confusing. [music] Now, this one, I didn't get around to playing yesterday afternoon. John and Chorley said, "Please, can you play this for Serja?" In Zellzak. So, we'll do that for you right now as they're both around this evening. [music] Big L, it's a blast. [music] Hello. [laughs] Ooh. [laughs] It's pretty bad. [music] I'll say. [music] How about a little kiss? [music] Don't feel good. [music] [music] [music] She said there's something in the wood. Don't share. And I can hear it breathing. It's such a genuine feeling. Darling. He said there's nothing in the wood. Share. It's your imagination. And of the conversation. Darling. It's something in his heart. Darling, to come before him. He was not good. He came to feel something in his dreams. Darling, to pretend. For the same day before. Oh, he came. [music] She said there's something in the wood. Share. I know because I saw it. I'd come to play more. Darling, so he said. Oh, baby. Don't miss too bad. Get this into your sleep. And there ain't nothing in the wood. Share. It's a baby's wood. Something in his heart. Darling, to come before him. He was not good. He came to feel something in his dreams. Darling, to pretend. For the same day before. Oh, he came. [music] I'm on a way with you. You've always been the same for me. You've always been the same. But it's nothing like the same. And I've always been the same. Oh, he came. [music] Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. Yeah, he's something on the way. [music] So, there we go. That's something different, isn't it? [music] Let's see, who's out and who else is in for a request? First in. [music] Another week goes by and still no wheels. [music] Everything's better with a nice bit of sunshine and blue sky, isn't it? For our music choice, we will avoid any car songs. I don't blame you. So, can we try Chris Montes and there will never be another you please? You can indeed. That's on the way in a few seconds time. Ryan and Laurie, Instant Orban's. Now, it's been a busy week for Zoe and Mike in the kitchen. [music] Zoe says hi, and it's been an eventful, emotional, and very tiring week. About a very happy one as our new granddaughter was born yesterday morning. Well, congratulations. That's good to hear. Everyone is well and we're all delighted. It was easy to choose our request this week. Please, will you play? Isn't she lovely by Stevie Wonder for us? I will indeed. In honor of our new arrival, Big Sister Annabelle is also very lovely. So, this is for her too. I'm not sure whether we'll be listening in this evening or I'm listening again. I don't know what's happening with all the various family members today. But best to you and all the gang. Well, Zoe has checked in on our Facebook group. So, she is with us live and live in this evening. [music] Who else is through Jen in Kesic says, "Could you please play veins by the being Oyster Cult?" I'm sorry, I don't have that one, Jen. Only two I've got from the Oyster Cult is Don't Fear the Reaper, of course, and Burning for You. So, if either of those are any good, let me know. Let me get those on the stack for you. Meanwhile, Lorna Kesic says, "Please, could you play?" "Welcome home by Peterson Lee for my Jen." We are apart at the moment, but this was the track her dad had playing when I came home after giving birth to her on Christmas Eve 2006. So, it'll be the first song that wasn't Christmas that baby Jen would have heard. Sorry, it's not called Jen, but this means a lot to me. Okay, I'm not sure. I bet Jen's going bright red right now. Never mind. Yes, we'll do that for you, no trouble at all. Okay, let's crack on with the first of those. We've got some mother bits and pieces. Very good evening, also, to Howard in Loudon. Good to have you with us this evening. I've got more messages to catch up on, so we'll do those in due course. Let's crack on with the first of those requests, though. For Brian and Noring in St. Albans, Chris Montez, there will never be another you. [music] The fastest thing in the air, big L! [music] There will be many other nights like this. [music] And I'll be standing here with someone new. [music] There will be other songs that sing. [music] Another fall, another spring. [music] But there will never be another you. [music] There will be other lips that I make it. [music] Oh, but they won't drill me like yours used to do. [music] Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they come true? [music] If there will never, ever be another you. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] There will be other songs that sing. [music] Another fall, another spring. [music] But there will never be another you. [music] There will be other lips that I make it. [music] Oh, but they won't drill me like yours used to do.

[clears throat] [laughs] For Brian and Norrie and instant organs. Chris Montes, there will never be another you. John in Lance is any chance of dire straits and brothers in arms. No problem at all, that's on the stack for you. And a very good evening to John in Darbershire, who says, "Evening cookie, hope was good. Can you play the sweet and hell raiser? I'll get that on the stack for you as well, no problem at all. I'm going to be a busy one this evening, I think, so many years." Some of these are going to be a one or two before they come up, but we'll do our best to get through, obviously, as many as we possibly can, in the next couple of hours right here on VL International.

From features store in use of Washington, I'm Nick Harper. Former US President Donald Trump is preparing to address the Republican National Convention on the final night of the four-day event. Trump says he rewrote his speech after Saturday's attempted assassination and says the new version will aim to bring the country together. Ever since Simon Marx reports from the convention site in Milwaukee. - It is obviously a massive night here for Donald Trump, the first time that he will have addressed the American public since the assassination attempt against him last weekend. So everybody waiting to see what he has to say about that awful incident. But in the run up to the big speech by Donald Trump, the convention will be hearing from several figures who may be auditioning for a role in a second Trump administration. And they include the former Fox News television polemicist Tucker Carlson, hotly tipped to play some kind of role in a second Trump term. He's been sitting alongside the former president in the family's viewing stand at the convention for much of the early nights of this event. - US President Joe Biden remains at his home in Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19. The embattled president is facing more calls for him to suspend his reelection bid. Now with senior Democrats telling him it's time to step aside. Meanwhile, the Biden administration on Thursday canceled another $1.2 billion in student debt for tens of thousands of borrowers who work in the public service. Biden's administration has now waived almost $170 billion in debt for roughly 4.8 million Americans. Have you since been GI reports? - Joe Biden has COVID, but he's still pushing on with his agenda. King to shore up waning support among young people ahead of November's election. He's finding other avenues to release student loan debt after the Supreme Court blocked his broader plan to cancel a total of $430 billion. - The United States is breaking down its temporary floating pier in Gaza. It was constructed by the US military and aimed to deliver more aid to the Gaza Strip, but its operations have been beset by problems with the weather and security issues. Ever since Jody Jacobs reports. - It was the United States way of increasing aid delivery to the Gaza Strip, but from the onset, its intended purpose never panned out. Now the US says humanitarian supplies would now be shipped from Cyprus using US vessels and delivered to the Israeli port of Astat, and then transported by Lorry to northern Gaza. The pier was only operational for about 20 days and had been out of action since June the 28th due to bad weather. United Nations officials say the total number of humanitarian aid delivered via the port was only a tiny fraction of aid required to assess 2.2 million Palestinians in the Strip. - From Buresworld, why this is FSN.

And before that, it was our hour to open a vote. When it was a very clear win for the Beach Boys and Fun, Fun, Fun. Lorna says, "Gonna have to be a jags mystery, mon degree, not Monday then." Yeah, that sounds like a plan. That sounds like a good plan to me. ♪♪♪ So, very good evening to you. If you just joined us, it is Cookie Live and Lively. ♪♪♪ Now, Thursday evening, so I read, "Taking you through to the Beatles hour at 9 p.m. UK time. Lots more still to come. Your way this hour." Got quite a few requests still to get through from hour one. So, we work our way through those. Also, for part of this hour, we've taken you back to this very week, 1981. And, of course, it's Thursday, so we've got to have a sing-along. Hope you're in good voice this evening. I'm sure you'll do us proud. Gary's here already at the piano. And I can see why he's so keen to play the piano each week given that the photo he's just posted up on him. Now, Facebook group. And Howard says, um... Today is Dion's birthday. He's still going strong in his 80s. Oh, right. Well, if we get time at the end of the show, we're going to have to play a Dion track. But, so, I'm not sure how we'd be able to get fitting in this hour. So, we'll do our best. The piano is arriving. "Get in the end of it, mender banisters son." "Oh, I can't only die." "No, Murray's son. I've shifted more counters than you've had up in this." "One way I've shifted it." "Died? You're not a pianist on my foot." "You, I'm in son. I'll play it." "More fun, more easy." In the meantime, I'll play the Rubens for Patricia in Munich. "Billy ran away from his home to find a way to live in peace. "His mama didn't give a damn about him and his papa's on the run from the police. "When Billy hit the city, the city hit the building. "No one needs you when you're down and out. "Then one kind guy with the painted eyes picked him up and failed him out." "Under when you were sharing one room, nobody cared about them." "Under when you were sharing one room, bearing the world to part them." "Billy found it hard to find a job to make some pain." "All day looking round, getting lit down always being turned away." "And Johnny was the only one who didn't top them to build it from a ball." "And for the first time in his life, Billy found out what it felt like to be loved." "Under when you were sharing one room, nobody cared about them." "Under when you were sharing one room, bearing the world to part them." "Some of Billy's papa found out all about the style of Billy's life." "And it didn't take long before he ran, maybe he had a knife." "He cut up, joined it, stole all his money, he called him all the needs that he could find." "Sitted with a Billy at the factory tomorrow, he showed them what they do to Billy's kind." "Under when you were sharing one room, now the whole world knew about you." "Under when you were sharing one room, bearing the world to part them." "Johnny said to Billy, we can run away from the world no more." "I'm gonna fizz my daddy, I'm gonna show the world who I've been for." "And if I lose my job, if I lose my life, you know one thing is true." "It can take away anything from me, 'cause it won't take me from here." "And if I murdered Billy's daddy, we don't have the factor in bringing it to common." "Yeah, how it did to greet him, he cut him and he said him, and spangled him a pull of everyone." "As Billy lived dying, his papa started crying, the cops appeared and threw him in the cane." "And all my customers knew was the worst to cook and blow." "It being a man." "I'm gonna give you a little help." "I'm gonna give you a little help." "I'm gonna give you a little help." "I'm gonna give you a little help." "Oh, lovely track, well I've not come across before from the robots there." "Playing that one for Patricia in Munich under one roof, good choice there." "I'm gonna take you back for our 5-10 chart recall very soon, EMD." "In the meantime let's play this one for Jen." "Ink as a dig-dale of the deltoons, a mizzoloon." "Big L, it's a blast!" "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh." "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh." "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh." "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh." "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh."

Down two to number 9 went Bob Marley and the Wailers with no woman, no cry, and down four at number eight went Odyssey, and they were zipping up their boots. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Odyssey there at number eight going back to my roots. We are recording that chart, they did 18th of July, 1981. A new entry in at number seven for Motorhead with Motorhead Live. At nine places to number six went the Tom Tom Club with Worthy Rapping Hood, and a non-mover at number five for Imagination, 1981. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Imagination there at number five and the one called Body Talk. We are recording that chart, they did 18th of July, 1981, and up five places to number four. They'd already been at it with the Beatles melody, and they were back again. It was star sound. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Yes, of course it was bad manners and they came at number two. So bringing back some memories for Lorna, she says, every school disco ended on the can can. Yeah, what better way to end, I must admit. And so he says, just a moment, I'm getting my can can dress on. So you'd enjoying that one. And what worries me is so with Serge getting his can can dress on. Talk about don't look at all my goodness me. So we have reached the pinnacle of that chart dated 18th of July. 1981 at one place to the top spot. It was a haunting melody courtesy of the specials. [MUSIC PLAYING] And Serge is doing the cank and no one ever, no wonder everyone's left the town.

[MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] So just one look and then my heart went boom. Suddenly and we were on the moon flying high in a neon sky. Oh, back just one touch and all the church bells ring. Heaven cold and all the angels sing. Sun bright shine in the midnight sky. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So the chase the day away. High news, the moon and stars came out to play. And then the whole wide world went soon. The beam stands and in the afternoon. Shadows flowing as the roses flew. Looking down on a wonderland. Oh, smack just one kiss and I was out of whack. All it was, there was no turning back. Oh, so far above the right to start. Oh, oh, oh, oh. So the chase the day away. High news, the moon and stars came out to play. So the chase the day away. High news, the moon and stars came out to play. And then the whole wide world went soon. And suddenly and we were flying by. Faster and faster we were higher than high. It was in my lifetime I was finally free. And you gave that to me.
