Simply that, in ‘77, we were all out dancin’ the night away, whereas ‘37 was the depths of the depression soon to be followed by the war.

We were also dancin' the night away in '37, doing the Big Apple, the Balboa, the Truck, and a step called peckin'.

We also had better music in '37. I'd take swing bands led by Benny Goodman, Bob Crosby, or Ina Rae Hutton, sweet bands conductred by Eddy Duchin, Shep Fields, or Guy Lombardo, the Western swing sound of Bob Wills, Cliff Bruner, or Smoky Woods & His Wood Chips, and vocalists such as Judy Garland or Bing Crosby over the Sex Pistols, Rick Dees & His Cast of Idiots, and other 1970's acts.

No argument about the music - the depression and war kind of trumps that, though.
