"The Wizard" is a song by British musician Paul Hardcastle, best known as the theme tune for the BBC's weekly music chart show Top of the Pops, which was used from 3 April 1986 to 26 September 1991. He was asked to write the song for the programme after the producers were impressed by his hit 1985 single "19".
