Note: Announcer Gavin Wood was great at inserting artist-specific puns in his top 10 countdowns- take particular note of his announcements of Real Life, The Police, Donna Summer, and Irene Cara.

Note: Apologies for the video distortion- the tracking on the videotape that this was recorded from was rather poor. I wasn't sure about uploading this video due to the image quality, but felt for the sake of preserving history, felt the need to do so. Please persevere if you can.

The segment and episode conclude with Molly Meldrum and the guest host of that episode, Australian singer Mark Holden, leading into British singer Paul Young's single 'Wherever I Lay My Hat'.
