Oh, where do I start?
(Warning: UK 1970s-heavy references ahead.)
Ok, the classic:

And for a bonus, this one's a bit of a cheat because although it is from my early childhood, I only know it from repeats many years later. But damn, that music:

I forgot that Top of the Pops had an instrumental version of "Whole lot of Love". The Doctor Who theme didn't change at all.

As an aside, Bill Oddie was in NZ a few months ago and was interviewed on the radio.
They ended up talking about his Goodies days.
