1 1971 “Joy to the World” Three Dog Night

I think "American Pie" was played way too much after the 70s and lost some of it's 70s association. So "Joy to the World" still brings back memories of the 70s for me.

4 1978 “Stayin’ Alive” Bee Gees

"Stayin' Alive" is the perennial 70s song. You just can't get more 70s than the BeeGees.

My favorite novelty tune of the '70's is:

Freeze a Yankee by the Folkel Minority (1977)

Freeze A Yankee,
Drive 75 and freeze 'em alive
Freeze a Yankee
Let your thermostat rise and give 'em a surprise
Governor Briscoe promised us
that if any damn Yankee raised a fuss,
He’d turn off the gas, cut off the oil, v and let 'em all freeze and boilv

They don’t want an oil rig
around their seashore
Lord, it’s a terrible sight
And don’t you try to drill
in their dirty old water
if you do, you’re in for a fight

Senator Kennedy told me himself
That he wouldn’t let us drill
on the continental shelf
So, when they tried to get
Texas to drill another well
We could tell them all to go to...
Hyannisport!

Now, President Carter was a good ole boy
A southerner thru and thru,
But when he asked
all American’s to sacrifice,
He really meant …you know who

He wants all our oil
And our nuclear fuels
What does he take us for?
Silly fools?

The President wants us to pass our gas
Now ain't that a kick in the..

Freeze A Yankee
Drive 75 and freeze 'em alive
Freeze a Yankee
Let your thermostat rise and give 'em a surprise
Governor Briscoe promised us
that if any damn Yankee raised a fuss,
He’d turn off the gas, cut the oil,
and let 'em all freeze and boil

Cram them Yankee’s in little bitty cars
While we drive around in limousines
There ain’t nothing in the world any more fun
Than pumpin’ gas in those big Mochines.

Us Texans love our Cadillacs,
Big Continental’s and Pontiacs
We’re gonna keep all the gas we can make
And let them Yankee’s shiver and shake

Well, them Yankee’s say they need our oil
And they gotta have gasoline
But don’t you put no refineries way up north
They wanna keep their air real clean

They only got enough lignite
To last until midnight
Not enough fuel
to keep their beer real cool
But we'll send you lots of oil, now don't you fear
If you promise not to move down here

Freeze A Yankee
Drive 75 and freeze 'em alive
Freeze a Yankee
Let your thermostat rise and give 'em a surprise
Governor Briscoe promised us
that if any damn Yankee raised a fuss,
He’d turn off the gas, cut the oil,
and let 'em all freeze and boil.

Freeze A Yankee
Hallelujah
Save your Confederate credit cards
The South is going to rise again!

The Yankees got their revenge a decade later, when the price of oil crashed to $9 a barrel. The Texas banks collapsed; unemployment and foreclosures soared. Business and political leaders asked for help from Washington. They did not receive one penny. The Northern politicians had long memories.

In the long run, arrogance does not pay.
