East Side Dave’s Top 5 TV Theme Songs From The ’70’s

Author East Side Dave // Co-Host Of The Morning Rat Race

Howard Hesseman died over the weekend at the age of 81.   The actor famously played Johnny Fever in the sitcom WKRP In Cincinnati…which had one of the best TV theme songs ever.

So, we’re making a list!   Behold!   It’s East Side Dave’s Top 5 TV Theme Songs From The ’70’s!   Tune in!

 

5.) All In The Family

Archie and Edith Bunker sit cozily at the piano as they perform this classic theme…which perfectly captured the vibe of this legendary show.

 

 

4.) Laverne & Shirley

Nothing says “Milwaukee” quite like this iconic opening from these two ladies looking to make it!

 

 

3.) WKRP In Cincinnati

We honor the late Howard Hesseman (a.k.a. Johnny Fever) with this fantastic and perfect song!

 

 

2.) The Jeffersons

We’re moving on up!   To the big time!   This classic theme matches the iconic series it was attached to!   Energetic, fun, and catchy…this song rocks!

 

 

1.) Welcome Back Kotter

John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful (“Summer In The City”) wrote this legendary song which I think is the BEST TV theme of the 1970’s!
