It takes a true '70s child to know the names of all these TV theme songs

"Welcome Back" to those "Happy Days."

 
The melodies are permanently stuck in your head. You can probably sing the lyrics. But do you know the actual song titles?

Yes, we're talking about 1970s TV theme songs, the golden era, when ditties like "Happy Days" and "Welcome Back" made the pop charts.

But not every theme song had a title that matched the show's name. In fact, some of them are pretty surprising. See if you can fill in all the blanks!
  1. The Jeffersons: "______ On Up"
  2. The Mary Tyler Moore Show: "______ Is All Around"
  3. Laverne & Shirley: "______ Our Dreams Come True"
  4. M*A*S*H: "______ Is Painless"
  5. The Dukes of Hazzard: "Good Ol' ______"
  6. The Partridge Family: "C'mon, Get ______"
  7. Maude: "And Then There's ______"
  8. The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour: "The ______ Goes On"
  9. Alice: "There's a New _____ in Town"
  10. All in the Family: "Those Were the ______"
  11. Three's Company: "Come and ______ Our Door"
  12. Baretta: "Keep Your Eye on the ______"
  13. Sanford and Son: "The Street______"
  14. Angie: "Different _______"

Most people probably don’t know the actual lyrics to the theme to “MASH.” A young teenage boy actually wrote the lyrics, and the actual theme song 🎶 was all instrumental.

I missed on "Sanford and Son" and "Angie" because I'm not familiar with those songs. I hardly ever watched those shows, if at all. But the rest were easy enough!
To be fair, the theme to “Sanford and Son” didn’t have any lyrics.
At least it never had lyrics on the show.

You got 12 out of 14
You're no "schlemiel" or "schlimazel"! Skip on the down the street, because you know your stuff!

14/14. Kind of guessed on "Sanford & Son" because I couldn't stand that show. Somewhere I have a tape of me singing the themes from "Angie" and "Laverne & Shirley"; I loved those shows. I didn't watch "Barretta", but LOVED the theme song.

I just thought Sanford and Son was the name of their theme. Never knew it had a another title.

I had no idea what numbers 13 and 14 were. I didn't watch these shows. I never liked Redd Fox and I never heard of Angie. I heard Redd had a mouth like a sewer and actually asked an actress, either the late Florence Henderson or maybe Diane Keaton "Have you ever "F bomb" a "N word" Pathetic and disgusting to me to ask anyone, putting down his own self.

Missed the Sanford and Son song. One of my favorite shows since I was a kid. Always liked Lamont.

13/14. Me too. Lamont was okay, but I couldn't stand the father so I never watched it.

14/14; easy one for me - I grew up watching 70's TV shows.

I would agree but a lot of times you never knew the name of the song.
"59th Street Bridge Song" for example.

14/14. Fun to remember the old theme songs. I remember when they used to put out albums of TV show theme songs. Just fun.
